Dessert - Lemon Ice Cream with Cigarettes Russes

How to make Smoked Salmon Timbales:
This starter looks far more complicated and difficult than it is. The filling sets quite firmly and, as long as you use cling film, the salmon readily takes on the shape of the mould. You can make several small ones or one large one according to your requirements.



Ingredients

Smoked Salmon Timbales
1lb smoked salmon
6 king prawns
1/4 pint double cream
1oz butter, melted
lemon juice to taste
8 drops tabasco sauce

for the sauce:

1 tablespoon grain mustard
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
pepper
salt
(see measure conversions for more information)

Method

- Take 6oz of the smoked salmon.
- Put into a blender with cream, butter, prawns and tabasco sauce.
- Add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
- Blend to a smooth paste.
- Line moulds with cling film leaving some of the film overhanging the edges of the moulds.
- Line with strips of smoked salmon leaving enough salmon overhanging to make a lid.
- Fill each cling film and salmon lined mould with the blended filling.
- Fold over the overhanging bits of salmon and fold the overhanging cling film over the top.
- Leave the moulds to chill.
- Make a sauce with the vinegar, olive oil and mustard.
- Turn out the salmon moulds.
- Serve with salad of choice and dressing.

Land For Food Production

I wonder just how much land it would take to feed a family of, say, 4? I know that if my family didn't buy fruit and veg we wouldn't have enough to eat but is self sufficiency down to amount of land or method of growing? Last year I overcrowded my small veg plot with counter-productive results like mildew and snail infestation that went unnoticed until we came to pick the tomatoes (all holes!). I wonder if anyone has ever been totally self providing or whether the local market and barter played...
