When in doubt, stir fry!

The leftovers I had were some garlic thyme chicken thighs (need to use up my meat before veggie January!) I made in my pressure cooker and some butternut squash sticks I roasted in the oven with some maple syrup. I added in mushrooms, snow peas, soy sauce and sesame oil and topped it off with some toasted sesame seeds. Turned out fabulous

I think it's partly snobbery: French being the language of diplomacy and therefore taught to posh people at school.

Whereas you guys use not just Italian veg names, but Sicilian veg names (c.f. arugula, which everybody in the world except for you and Sicily calls rocket). I think this is because you're all secretly still Mafiosi.

ETA: and yeah, mushy peas are DISGUSTING and it's a constant source of shame to me that they are part of a famous Yorkshire dish.

We were seduced by pasta and pizza, clearly.
