Lockdown lard #5 - August

[grok_mctanys]

August? WTF?

Yes, lockdown is officially easing, but getting multiple households together for lard is probably not the best idea in the world, so we're doing this at least one more time.

Previously, I've only specified a "theme" for lard because having people come up with their own ideas is fun. Also, given how things are, I didn't want to feel like I was putting anyone under any (more) pressure to do a specific thing. For August, I'm naming a dish. Don't worry, it's pretty easy, but also super nommy. It's...

Tartiflette

I'm doing this for two reasons. 1) I've not had it so far this year, and I miss it. 2) You've probably not had it so far this year - or maybe ever - and you should, because it's amazing. BBC food has a Tartiflette recipe, but there are plenty of others out there. Also, I found a website called Gourmet Sleuth that lists substitute ingredients for things like Reblochon cheese, and Port Salut apparently works and is widely available.

So that's Wednesday 5th August.

Other Reblouchon substitutes include:
Taleggio (Tesco recipe)
Camembert (Sainsbury recipe)

Definitely putting the "lard" into "Lard Club"! :o)

Thanks for the suggestion and the links.

I agree it's not yet time for Lard Club to get together in person for a meal out, but maybe next month... somewhere with outdoor seating or somewhere fairly quiet...

Ooh, I reckon I could make a pretty decent veganised version of this, if garlic sausage-analogue is allowed and I look up the characteristics of Reblochon cheese... *cogs whirring*. If hands and energy levels allow, I'll give it a go!

Definitely have a go with variants! Love to hear how it turns out - hope you have enough spoons to try.
