Simple to make all you need is salt, sugar and wood chips for the smoker.
Recipe is;
First you steal a hog...
You can use beef or in my case I use lamb. Salted, sugared and smoked I think you could make shirt cardboard and crisco taste like bacon!

Bob, we got one of the large air fryers with 3 levels. I strongly recommend you get one of those. The smaller ones are frustrating from what I hear. We use ours almost everyday. I was once skeptical but not anymore. Used as intended they are a great appliance.
I think it's hard to argue with the InstaPot unit. Disclaimer: I have only read about it. not used.
yah, multipurpose tools rarely do anything better than a stand-alone.
I'll do a little more research.

Probably taste it. I'm spoiled having the local Greek importer down the street, but my fave so far is Kostani 100% grass fed sheep feta from Macedonia. I have been told Dodoni Feta is widely available and pretty good. There are also some very affordable Bulgarian fetas that would be easy to try but are usually described as more salty. 100% goat fetas exist but are a bit eccentric.
Dodoni is available in UK so will hunt that out. I have located 6 month barrel aged hand cut feta, which intrigues me, but not enough to pay the postage of £12....yet.
Interesting the way different meats fall in and out of fashion ( with attendant prices )
I used to quite often have beef tongue , but now it is way to pricey .
Used to be a christmas treat my mum made, along with brawn. Boxing day meals were always better than xmas day with the cold meats and cheese IMO.

Speaking of puddings and oatmeal and such, do you ever do rava kasari? I absolutely love it (sans nuts).
We do semolina Hulva now and again as a treat which is the north Indian variant. Wife prefers Carrot Hulva which I haven't yet developed a taste for. But the Semolina one has special significance from our courting days.
My mom liked pigs brains and scrambled eggs. I never could get into it.
I will stick to my Instant pot for pressure cooking and my Instant Vortex 6 for air frying. Both do the job they were designed for very well.
Disadvantage, take up more space.

When we would butcher a steer ,
the first thing we would eat was the
brains . Not with eggs though .....
Just fried ( about the same texture
as scrambled eggs ) then the heart .

Hot from the oven
I grew up on foccacia from the Liguria Bakery in San Francisco, the archetype of foccacia as I know it. This is not quite its equal, but I can't get there so it'll have to do. Paninis for dinner tonight and probably tomorrow too.
When I say "grew up on", my Italian-American father owned a delicatessen in SF when I was born. Sourdough, foccacia and salumi are in my blood. Or at least lining my arteries...

Today for first breakfast I did a single pancake with cherries for the fruit inside, two strips of homemade bacon and tea.
Second breakfast will be mint tea with a ripe banana and an orange
I have noticed very little mention of fruit around here. I tend to add diced apple to a lot of dishes for a bit of sweetness and even thickens sauces.
Lunch gets to be a smoked roast beef sandwich with Roma tomato on home made bread, now that flour is back in my local grocery store.

My body has a hard time dealing with fructose so I am very limited in what I can eat.
I am definitely more of a "fruit for dessert" guy, but sometimes add fruit to savoury dishes. I like pork with apple, onion, and cabbage for example. When my daughter was very young I used to make her an orange chicken dish, basically sautee a boneless chicken thigh with a bit of onion and herbs, add some orange sections and orange juice, with a bit of soy sauce or wooster, and reduce the juice to a glaze on the chicken, She always quite liked that. I should make something like that for me.
Lately I have been consuming rum punch, does that count?
