 Beef Pot Roast for 4

Pot roast is the ultimate winter meal, that is so easy to prepare and full of flavor

and satisfying, it is equally good for a family meal or to serve to guests.

You can cook it the traditional method or in a slow cooker! The results are equally

as good, but a slow cooker is more economical. The hardest thing about this

recipe is gathering all the ingredients!

  Perfect Hot Salt Beef Sandwich When I was twenty I was lucky enough to work a stall in the world famous   Petticoat Lane market   on   Sunday   mornings, Back in the day the market was mainly Jewish market traders   we were part of the very special history of the East End of London, The excitement, hustle and bustle, comradeship between the stall holders was second to none, we worked all weathers , and shared each other’s joys and sorrows.   but the icing on the cake was visiting Blooms on Whitechapel Road after trading had finished for a succulent hot salt beef sandwich, nothing can erase these memories from my mind even though its over half a century ago.

Chopped liver was traditionally fried in schmaltz (chicken fat ) which over the years has given way to oil, my no fry no oil version tastes just as good but weight watchers can eat with guilt. Nutritional Value Liver is a nutrient-rich food and the ingredients in the chopped liver recipe add more nutrients to the mix. Liver is high in vitamin A, which is dangerous to unborn babies so pregnant mothers should avoid liver in any form.It also contains  vitamin C  choline,  betaine, of vitamin B-12,  retinal and vitamin E  also  of vitamins B-6, folate, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin and thiamin in lesser amounts It also contains the following minerals  Its high in i ron, magne...
