I love the Mason's Meats dehydrated steak but can't afford it. I've tried a cheaper version called Carnivore Friendly which is slightly thicker but still nice. However I'd like to make my own at some point when I can afford a dehydrator which I have no room for and I assume also a meat slicer. All help appreciated.

Birthday treat, fish and chips at Cromer. Haddock and chips and scampi and chips. 2 drinks. £48 🤬 No option for dripping. The menu stated We cooked in a sustainable and healthy blend of sunflower and rapeseed oil. The used oil does not go to waste. We are proud to say that it is recycled as aircraft fuel. No duff, that’s what it said 😂😁😂

Any suggestions for home doorway pull up bar brands please?

I went digging into "beef protein isolate" powders because things didn't add up. Here is what I found, with sources. "Beef protein" on a UK/EU label names the animal, not the tissue. 🫣 The mandatory nutrition declaration does not include amino acids (Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011) — so the tub alone cannot tell you whether you bought muscle protein or collagen made from hides and bones. Why it matters: collagen contains zero tryptophan and very little leucine. In a randomised trial, whey — but not collagen — stimulated muscle protein synthesis (Oikawa et al., 2020, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition). The fix is one number: hydroxyproline. It is collagen's chemical fingerprint. Muscle has only traces. And you can't spike it away with added aminos. Case in point: one US brand, True Nutrition, publishes its full amino table — 10.2 g hydroxyproline and 3.7 g leucine per 100 g. Collagen-dominant, by the brand's own numbers. One published table settles the question in seconds. Every UK-sold "beef protein" tub I have checked — across the major brands — prints no amino table at all. Not one shows leucine, tryptophan or hydroxyproline. The name changes; the silence doesn't. And the supply chain isn't hiding it: a major trade ingredient sold to supplement makers as "beef protein hydrolysate" is described by its own supplier as "derived from carefully processed bovine bones." To be fair: collagen is a legitimate supplement for joints and tendons — the research supports that use. It is not a muscle-building protein, and it shouldn't be dressed as one. So here's the rule. Ask the brand for the full amino acid table for your exact SKU and batch. Read hydroxyproline first. If they won't show the numbers, treat the tub as unverified — not proven collagen, not proven muscle. No table, no trust.
