There's a place on Lady's Island (which is where my grocery stores and
other main shops are located) that calls itself a Meat Market. I'm on
their mailing list. And it's true, it *is* a butcher shop. They do
sell custom cut meats. It's owned by a husband/wife team. Therein lies
the problem.

She fancies herself a cook. She is always pushing her pre-prepared (aka
home cooked) meals. I get an email every couple of weeks. How do these
selections sound to you?

"From the prepared meals department we have turkey and spinach stuffing
casserole, Gruyere chicken and pasta bake, lasagna, corned beef, cabbage
and mashed potatoes and tomato, sausage and cheddar bread pudding
casserole."

John and I tried her lasagna once. We made the mistake of letting her
husband who was at the register talk us into buying it. Got it home,
heated it up. It was utterly bland and tasteless. Afraid to use herbs
and spices, lady?

They do have a freezer case with some unusual items. When I first moved
here I bought two packages of "shrimp dawgs" (pork & shrimp sausages,
lightly spicy - delicious!). I was dressed in my normal summer attire,
shorts & a tank top. When I went to check out she took one look at me
and said, "You DO know those will cost $20, don't you?" OMG, woman!
Way to go insulting a customer!

Hmm. To me, those could be really nice or really awful. Hard to say
for sure... Either way, none of those make me want to rush out and buy
some. They all have a common theme of cheap and filling ingredients
such as bread, pasta, cabbage and potatoes. More than likely, they are
not good.

One thing lasagna should not be, and that is bland.
If only there was a way to give anonymous feedback, perhaps there is?
Value adding to a product (in this case, meat) is fine, but you need
to do it right.

I concur. Cheap and filling, and not at all the way that I eat, which is
a lot of vegetables, a little meat, and not much carbs. Plus, I detest
the taste of re-heated meat, unless it's in some strong-flavored sauce
like barbecue sauce. I generally eat leftover meat cold.

I've heard other people say that before about reheated meat.
Personally I'm fine with it, as long as it hasn't dried out or
anything like that.

A roast lamb sandwich is to die for

Speaking of which, I have some lamb defrosted, I think I'll make a
braise with it. Cold wet and windy here, probably close to minor
flooding at this point. So a day for staying indoors and cooking
methinks.

I'm with Cindy on this one! Even currying leftover meat can't remove
that taste.

Could you describe the taste please?

Then again... if I know what to look for, I might find it myself :/
I have had reheated meat that wasn't particularly great, but usually
that was because it was too dry.

Tomorrow (Sunday) I have roast pork with apple sauce, roast potatoes,
steamed black kale (fresh from the garden) and whatever other veg takes my
fancy)

Sounds really nice, I'm a big fan of kale and also have it in the
garden. I'm overdue for roast pork with apple sauce, yum. Must do
something about that.

I have most of a cabbage to use up, so I'll use that today rather than
kale. I might do some roast pumpkin soup while I'm at it today as
well, I was going to make potato and leek but I think I'll just put
the leek into the braise.

Depends on how you reheat it. The oven can dry it out. Microwave can
screw up the texture. Heat on medium power until it is hot enough as
over heating does seem to affect the flavor and texture. .

Eggzactly... most don't know how to reheat cooked meat... barely
threaten with hot liquid or use a long slow braise... if not properly
reheated it's best eaten cold.

Agree, I always reheat meat gently and slowly to retain the original
texture.

I have found that I don't usually like prepared foods. Exceptions would be a
few meats that are merely cooked and seasoned with salt and pepper and not
much more. I usually use them in some other dish and not for their intended
purpose.

We had a fancy little store on Bay Farm Island that did catering and sold
prepared meals. Very expensive food. Looked good but didn't taste good. Same
seems to go for most of what they sell at Whole Foods and the like. Although
husband does like some of the prepared foods from Central Market. I do like
their beet salad and for a time, we liked their falafel. They don't make it
the same way now and we no longer like it.

A woman on our Facebook community group was asking how many people would be
interested in buying her home cooked meals. She actually got some takers.
And there is a woman already doing this. People do say her foods are good.

She must have looked pretty low-class and slutty... probably barefoot

Central Market makes something that my husband loves. Not sure what it but I
think it is Thai food. We refer to it as "puke on rice". It does look like
that. He also loves the wild caught salmon and roasted vegetables. And
everyone likes their meatloaf but I can no longer eat it.

I'm not surprised. She's no better at tech stuff than she is at making
lasagna. For a while there she was sending out emails where the
subject line said "insert subject" or something silly like that.

I haven't had the Stouffer's lasagna lately but it likely beats the hell
out of what she tried to pass off as lasagna. It tasted like she used
plain tomato paste with no seasonings whatsoever. Good lord, woman,
there's a recipe on any box of lasagna noodles!

I would think that the tomato, sausage and cheddar bread pudding would
be good. I think your gag comes from thinking of it as bread pudding
(a sweet). Think of it savory instead like one of the (what do they
call them?) breakfast casserole.

I've never done one with tomatoes, but I bet with cherry or grape
tomatoes it would be great. You could veer it toward Mexican with
some chilies and cilantro. I often do similar for Sunday night
supper. For me, it is a great way to finish off the loaf of bread I
baked during the week that is going stale. It can be eaten hot, cold
or room temperature. Similar to a frittata.
