Excuse me whilst I turn into Chef Bear for a mo.....
Ragu Bianco and Pasta
2 Garlic Cloves
Extra virgin olive oil
1 onion chopped
1 celery stick chopped
100g pancetta or lardons
500g minced pork
a glass of white wine - dry
A glass of water (about 200ml)
salt and pepper
a handful of fresh parmesan, grated
1 zest of a lemon
a handful of chopped parsley
pasta of your choice - I use Tagliatelle
Get a large pan, big enough to put all ingredients in later (including all the pasta), out the olive oil in and heat.
Peel the garlic, slice in half and put in oil. bring up to heat (DO NOT BURN).
Take the pan off the heat and let the garlic infuse the oil for 5 mins.
Take the garlic out and throw away.
Slowly soften the onion and celery in the garlic infused oil, do not fry hard, it should sweat - add a tablespoon of water if it sizzles.
Once softened (7-8 mins) - turn up the heat to full, add the pancetta or lardons and fry for 2 mins, then add the pork mince and fry for 3-4 mins, keep stirring to avoid colouring the the meat too much.
Add the wine and season with the salt and pepper to taste. (I don't add any salt as the pancetta normally handles this but I don't like salt! Lots of pepper though). Reduce the liquor.
Add the water, cover and simmer slowly for 20 mins. If it gets too dry - add a little more water although it shouldn't.
Cook your pasta to coincide with the end of the ragu cooking time.
Drain the pasta, add it to the ragu, throw in your Parmesan, Parsley and Lemon Zest and mix well.
If it's too dry add a touch of water, if it's too loose, add some more parmesan.
Serve. Sprinkle with parsley.Si posse, recte, si non, quocumque modo remComment

Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes.

Place saucepan on lap (use towel for insulation)

Better than a pot noodle

However, one can always adapt a recipe to one's own tastes. In this case, I would suggest substituting the aforementioned ingredients with more sausages and bacon

Black pudding made sense in the days before the war, when working class families kept a pig in the back yard and slaughtered it in the autumn - they did so because they were poor, and needed every last bit of nutrition. Pigs were virtually free food made out of a year's leftovers.
Then, after the war and into the Sixties, poorer families (like the one I was born into) still had to eat black pudding occasionally because it was cheap, and you couldn't always feed two adults and three children on prime cuts.
Nowadays? Slaughter the pig, use the blood to make fertiliser, eat the meat.
It's pretty much the definitive case of paupers' food coming to be regarded as a delicacy. The paupers ate it because it was all they could afford, not because it was nice
You'll be telling me to buy a fresh pig's head next - we never ate those, but the local butcher always had a row of them in his window.
