Partly because I've made it before and it's delicious. Partly just to annoy @bickster It looks decent but the subtitle/headline didn't really sell it to me "The secret to this shepherd's pie’s filling is to choose big carrots so they don’t lose their texture when cooked" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 It's important. You don't want mushy carrots. Big chunks and they keep a bit of bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 36 minutes ago, bickster said: Sounds minging, as would anything that is essentially a load of mush topped by mashed potatoes I'd also argue that cottage pie would be a more suitable name or even arable farmers pie Have to agree. That pie in the link looks and sounds awful. I wouldn't even call it a cottage pie let alone a shepherd's pie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ew, absolutely loathe undercooked carrots that have "texture". Boil mine within an inch of their life, please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Anything short of boiling the shit out of them is not 'undercooked'. If you don't like your veg cooked properly I don't know what to tell you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) I mostly hate cooked carrot. Boiled carrot is disgusting. Honey-roasted is nice though. Raw carrot however is amazing with some hummus. Also, carrot strands in place of spaghetti with bolognese is a nice alternative too. (I am laughing as Intype this thinking about Bicks/Tony’s reaction) Edited June 4, 2018 by Ingram85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted June 4, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) New Oxford University study has some interesting facts about animal farming and environmental damage. It suggests that becoming vegan reduces your carbon footprint by 73% The study was published in science magazine and an article below appeared in the Independent.* https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/veganism-environmental-impact-planet-reduced-plant-based-diet-humans-study-a8378631.html Quote Researchers at the University of Oxford found that cutting meat and dairy products from your diet could reduce an individual's carbon footprint by up to 73 per cent. Meanwhile, if everyone stopped eating these foods, they found that global farmland use could be reduced by 75 per cent, an area equivalent to the size of the US, China, Australia and the EU combined. Not only would this result in a significant drop in greenhouse gas emissions, it would also free up wild land lost to agriculture, one of the primary causes for mass wildlife extinction. The new study, published in the journal Science, is one of the most comprehensive analyses to date into the detrimental effects farming can have on the environment and included data on nearly 40,000 farms in 119 countries. The findings reveal that meat and dairy production is responsible for 60 per cent of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions, while the products themselves providing just 18 per cent of calories and 37 per cent of protein levels around the world. Researchers examined a total of 40 agricultural products in the study, covering 90 per cent of all food that is eaten. *In case someone starts banging on about hidden agendas etc. Edited June 4, 2018 by TheAuthority 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
