Ok, so it's another sunday and I'm getting ready to cook the sunday roast.  Hmm.... roast pork today, really looking forward to it.  Open the plastic box to find a lovely looking piece of pork looking at me, plump and ready to cook.  Get it out of the plastic box and pop it in the roasting dish and ..PING !  the goddam elastic stocking keeping the meat in a nice tidy parcel pings off the meat, splashing my face and the kitchen wall with pigs blood.... grab the darn elastic off the top of the kettle where it has landed and spend the next 10 minutes trying to wrestle it back onto the meat, trying hard to make it resemble a pork joint again.  Just about manage it and, although I wouldn't get a job in a butchers with my effort, I'm quite pleased with the result - move the meat over a bit to fit in the potatoes and the 'insides' of the meat pop back out again - this time I just jam it all back into the stocking without a care as to how it ends up.

So, if anyone on this forum works in a certain supermarkets butchers department (the supermarket starts with a T and sounds a lot like fresco ) can they please check the stockings on the meat and make sure that they are on there properly as the next time this happens I will not be held responsible for my actions :)

OK, feel better now - Tara x

Lol hope you enjoy your pork cant say you dont deserve it

LOL - just been reading the other thread on here about things people say - I would like to change number 2 slightly to :

You can't have your pork and eat it :)

We've got pork today too - of the steak variety. :p Can leave the stockings to Nora Batty.

Im having quorn fillets with my roast - just waiting for the oven to heat up , yum :p, and no blood in sight (I have enough of that with the dog food :rolleyes: )

I know what you mean about T's meat :(  and it is very bloody too :(   I've started buying all our meat at M's the meat isn't as bloody and is a lot cheaper for better cuts ;) it definately tastes better too ;)  They do beautiful fillets of pork very cheaply, and the other pork joints are lovely too :)

The moral being buy your meat from the butcher, who will use string and propper knots :D

Oh how I would like to - but the Isle of Wight is a bit low on butchers, as it is I have to travel 12 miles just to get to the supermarket :(   Nope, I'll simply have to breed my own pigs and go from there ! :)

Tee hee visions of you chasing pig round garden with cleaver :D

LOLOL - piggies, here piggy wiggies :D
