In 2013, the FSAI found horse DNA in over one-third of tested beef burger samples and pig DNA in 85% of them.

Tonight's overdrawn spoons frozen delight: a take on "cabbage pudding! Which is basically a Swedish take on lazy baked cabbage rolls, with the meat and cabbage layered together.

Keep meaning to try making some, but this was one GF-by-default (which I am actually inclined to trust here) frozen ready option that looked like it might be worth a try. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I really DO NOT like getting things with the side vegetables all jumbled in like that, but OK. Pretty big believer in divided plates here, tbh.

Guessing that the cabbage must be lurking under the meat, which seems to be the opposite of how kålpudding usually works? It is definitely claiming to have plenty of cabbage in there.

Currently cooking, in spite of my trepidations. And I guess we'll see how this turns out.

Makeshift Low Spoons Blender Soup of the Day ingredients plan: Some old expired but still looks and probably smells fine shelf stable pouch curry!

Kohinoor pav bhaji, in this case. Plus however much vegetable broth powder seems like a good idea with the amount of water required to thin it down, plus probably some butter and any other seasonings it calls out for after I taste it.

Have mostly been aiming for "SOMETHING warm and savory to eat" plus "some type of vegetable/legume nutrients" with the soups lately. And I really haven't been feeling up to doing basically any actual cooking, when I can barely eat any solid food. 😬

But, blending up canned/otherwise premade soups and thinning them to swallowable gets old fast. Especially with a rather limited range of gluten free options readily available and most of them very British. Better apply a little creativity!

Hopefully, the nudge to gastroenterology promised earlier today will help get me back to being able to eat more normally before long. Hopefully.
