Claire's diary of food and thoughts

[British_Claire_84]

Hey morenachia, good to hear from you again and fantastic news on your loss whilst on your hols!! Well done. Ostrich tastes like beef to me, well the burgers do, but they don't have that fatty taste or texture that beef burgers do. They stay lovely n soft n moist and they're full of flavour. I think they're lovely. They sell two burgers from the farm shop i posted a link about above for £2.10.

hey claire and thanks for the encouragement and support on my weight lost journey. I love this forum..

I may have to buy some ostrich meat. Ive seen them here in Italy but wasnt too convinced to buy them but I may give them a try now to change up my menu a bit..

Hey morenachica, nice to see you back love, and with good news as well. Great news.

They taste very meaty, but no hint of fat at all, do you agree Claire?

 

[British_Claire_84]

Try them, promise you'll love them If you like beef, you're sure to like ostrich i reckon as the taste's v.similar in my opinion. Just less fatty tasting and like you say, makes a nice change

 

[morenachica]

I'm going to give them a try guys.. you both seem to like them so I'm going to try them out and change up my menu

Morning Claire, be good over the weekend and it should be OK.

 

[British_Claire_84]

I'll try Jim

 

[Jim]

Hmm, is this the party animal talking.

 

[British_Claire_84]

No, for once it's not the party animal head talking, it's the work head talking!! Not too sure how working nights tonight will pan out but i'll certainly try to be on my best behaviour.

 

[Jim]

It must be difficult on nights Claire

 

[British_Claire_84]

This is the first proper night shift i've done. I've done 1700-0300hrs before but this is till 0700hrs.. Am gonna have sausages, cabbage n gravy for tea then take a pepperami n couple little bags scratchings to work with me in the hope they'll see me through..

 

[Jim]

Got any fridge raiders?

 

[British_Claire_84]

Nope. I could always pop over to somerfield on the way into work though n see if they have any snackage...

Good luck with the night shift Claire!
