Menu this weekend includes slow cooked spiced Lamb shanks, fish pie & pork & chorizo cassoulet. Anyone who can add to my efforts are welcome. Considering the wine ladder for these so am waiting for Eastern Outpost & RR 1972 to offer their suggestions ( not forgetting Lofty of course). 

A nice good Bordeaux would do the trick there. Nice acidic white for the fish pie.
That’s a tasty menu lined up well in advance. Top planning.

For the fish pie, having seen you appreciate the quality of the 9-3 Sauvignon on Saturday that might well do the trick. Pomerol and lamb go nicely together, although might depend on the level of spicing.

As a matter of interest, with what food would you pair the 1872 Scarlets red?

Creature of habit EO - shopping Thursday so menu pretty set in advance. The 9-3 would accompany the fish pie superbly. As for the 1872 Scarlets merlot I think it would do justice to lamb as the spicing is very subtle but I think it would probably go with the cassoulet best. It certainly went down a treat on Saturday with my roast lamb.
Thanks for that. Sounds a super plan. Sporting Wines are often very good at quick deliveries especially for new members.

Been in Cairo this week. I'm not a massive fan of Lebanese food but some of the street food down in the old city suburbs ( Maadi in this case) is smashing.
Found it when I lived there in late noughties, and it's still good now.
Manaqish - minced lamb, cheese and a spice mixture (too many to pinpoint) on pita bread,. Hot or old.

Sounds great. 

There are plenty of Comptoir Libanais in London and we enjoy calling in there whenever the chance arises. The one in Broadgate was shut last time we went there. Hope it was just temporary.

Cassoulet is a lovely, hearty dish and ideal for cooler days. In some parts of France, they say it’s traditional to keep a big pot of cassoulet on the go all the time, topping up as required. Possibly countryside legend.

Slow-cooked grey squirrel getting a mention on the Jeremy Vine show. More tender than rabbit, apparently.

Worth a try if any can be found from reliable sources.

Menu for the weekend - seafood chowder with crusty bread, pot-roast pheasants with fino & porcini & slow cooked shoulder of lamb roast dinner. Think another bottle of little black pigs pinot grigio with the chowder and I have an Australian cabernet sauvignon ( 14%) lurking on the rack which should do nicely for the pheasants/lamb.

Sounds good, GPR. We’re probably salmon somehow on Saturday and a roast chicken on Sunday. Wine pairings to be sorted last minute. All hopefully on the back of a Scarlets win in Cork to make the weekend go with a large smile.

I hope you've made enough for the valet's skullery staff and the gamekeeper Gar Wink
