Thank you.
Thank you for being a rock in my life. That's a good thing, mind you. I love each user. You all mean something special to me. I may not to you, and I know some of us may not ever meet. But...
I care about you. Even you do not like me. I wish you all the best. :)

I R that anon.
Just reviewed the recipe and suggest instead of onions (needed for crunch-heat) Substitute slices of cucumbers & toss cucumbers in a little red pepper spice.

I'm heating up some black eyed peas right now. I cooked them up earlier this week with some tomatoes from my garden. I'm boiling okra and cauliflower for the side. Yum :)

I'm guessing somebody intolerant of onion will dislike the entire allium family—garlic is part of it.

Back as a kiddlet my first hobby was chemistry. Cooked up bombs and rockets-fireworks and bigger bombs. My mom was a terrific cook. She trolled the hood for ethnic recipes. Found the original Chile relleno from Spain, which are stuffed with ground spicy meat and a little cheese. Now one of my Fav things to cook. Did not discover Okra until all grown up. Love them and they sure are great in my Gumbos. Really like them cooked just a bit so I add them the traditional way and then add others for the last few minutes b4 serving.

I don't mind at all! Knowledge was meant to be shared—especially about good food. Sharing tasty and nourishing food is one of the best things about being human :)

Aw. I am sure it's not! Blood pudding scares me though. And whatever spotted dick is. o_o

Agree re boring British food EXCEPT Beef with Yorkshire Pudding and English Trifle is still one of my all time favs. Even admit to enjoying Plum Pudding. HowSomEver on trips to England I sure have eaten some great Indian food. Curries in England rock.
Reminds me and I just have to say this. I took a few extension classes at UCLA for Chinese cooking. Then some seminars on Indian and other cultures. Usually just a few hours of each.
Went out to a local Indian market and bought all the spices to make what Americans call Curry. Its a lot of individual spices. Then I watched the infamous trained Chef Matt Millers Youtube where he showed how to make a curry dish.
He in one frying pan added store bought curry powder (no such thing in India) poured the contents into some slop and pronounced it as Curry.

I don't like black pudding (blood sausage), never have. Spotted Dick is a pudding made of suet and raisins and is very hearty and filling on a cold wet day, it's my favourite pudding.
It's like a world war 2-era recipe or something because nobody had much choice back then and had to make do. They call it "corned beef hash" on Wikipedia but I've never known anyone to call it that ever. It's real easy to make and so there's a million different ways to do it. The potato hash I eat doesn't look at all like the picture in Wikipedia, it is a lot wetter.
I don't really have a proper recipe and mostly I just forego measurements and use my own judgement but I'll try. Also it is really versatile and I can add whatever I happen to have when I am making it and change how much of whatever I put in it on whim, but this is how to make a basic one with not a lot of things.
So get some potatoes, peel them and chop them into decent sized chunks, season them with salt and boil them in beef stock (you can make your own or use instant stock powder, it doesn't really matter) along with some sliced carrots (you don't need a lot, 1 big carrot or 1.5 medium ones should be fine), and diced onion (sometimes I lightly fry first, sometimes not). Just use around half an onion if you are just cooking for yourself, you can add more if you like (again, it's versatile. It's very hard to ruin this dish). Anyway just cook that up for a bit, add some gravy and corned beef (or chopped roast beef, if you like. Or any other kind of beef, really). Just make sure it's been cooked already, don't use anything raw) and reduce it until it's sufficiently thick for your tastes.
Not posh in any way, but it does its job. Not sure if you'd enjoy it though because it's always warm where you live, if you were thinking of doing it. It's heavy and warming, which might make you uncomfortable. Winter food.

60F? Sounds chilly. Be sure wear a jacket out in that kind of weather.

Currently 84 and forecast says 90 tomorrow. Its not common to drop below 65. Nov Dec Jan here is often warm. Funny because when I lived in NSW Australia that was true as well. Memories of a Midnight on Christmas with 100+ weather.

Hnnnnnnnggggggggggg dinner was amazing
Jambalaya with black eyed peas.
1 green pepper, chopped
1/2 purple pepper, chopped
3 stalks of celery, small slices
1/2 sweet onion, diced
Sweat the above in oil for ~5 minutes
2 small ancho chilies, diced
3 cloves of garlic, diced
Add these and cook another ~5 minutes
Oregano, thyme, paprika, red pepper flakes, and bay leaf (because I didn't have proper Cajun seasoning).
1 cup basmati rice
Add and stir, allowing the rice to toast in the oil and seasonings
16 oz stewed tomatoes
Add and cover the pot, cooking until done
Separately, reconstitute with hot water:
8 oz soy curls
Vegan bouillon
Add cooked beans and the soy curls at the end to heat and mix.
Enjoy :)
Non-vegan version: sausage and bacon!
