Right, this Bored with Butties malarkey has got far too sensible lately, so it’s time for stir-fried cuttlefish

Baby cuttlefish – lots of them, prawns, peppers, beansprouts & mushrooms

Fry the raw prawns....

....zap them then put to one side, you’ll be needing them later

Chop the peppers

Fry the cuttlefish in a wok....

....when they’re done they start to “flower”

Add the peppers....

....sliced mushrooms....

....prawns....

....a dollop of stir-fry sauce....

....mix together, still on the heat....

....add some beansprouts....

....keep stirring....

....add some noodles....

....keep stirring....

....and enjoy

And to anyone, like Mrs Muz, who says there’s no green in it – well I don’t much care for broccoli, and hey, it’s my lunch and it’s on a green plate so there

Ah, the cuttlefish are quite civilised - if you buy cleaned baby squids they have normally had the heads pulled off and the guts removed, so you have two pieces. Cuttlefish tend to be left whole but they cut a slit into the mantle (body to you & me

) so they can rip the guts out but leave the body & head attached to each other

and you can see this in the final picture

Indeed, the final phase, phase 52, is Christmas Eve and it's fish paste sandwiches from thereon
Suggestions for the finale?.....

I think I know where you sourced the berries

my flippin legs will never forget
I've got an idea....I don't care what you're cooking, in fact I dread to think

but if you want to cook it here there'll be potentially 29 kids, 20 plus adults and bimbamboozle
you'd be glad to get back home for fish paste butties

If it's 21st December you're thinking of, that's a work day
Come to think of it, so is 24th December
And who, or what, is Bimbamboozle, the local off-licence?
