Rub-a-dub-dub
Three men in a tub;
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick maker;
Not one can cook up a rotten potato,
Turn 'em out, knaves all three!

My sister, the good Doctor can cook a rotten potato. Oh yes. Well....she could if she wanted to.

Cook anything. And with utmost alacrity while gabbing away merrily.  Or singing.

"We was poor but we was honest

And they took our gran away

Just a linnet in a bonnet

In the can"

Or....

"Sitting on a park bench dah da dah da da dah.......

"Aqualung my friend don't you start away uneasy, you poor old sod you see it's only me...."

And then a discourse that the pig is the most generous and intelligent of creatures, albeit a mite smelly and noisy, providing various porky bits to keep humanity honking though the centuries. Most maligned of creatures deserving an MBE or Order of Oz at the least.

The Rub. 

It is excellent smeared on the lamb or pork loin chop, an hour or three prior to bar-b-que, or grill on a ribbed cast iron pan. If lamb, do to medium. If your porky bit, don't undercook it, oh....and don't overcook it. Just succulent.

I've added a couple of tablespoons of yoghurt which worked well. I also threw in some thyme and a dash of sugar, sort of east meets west, er Sugar. Anyway do your own thang.

1 tsp cumin powder

1 tsp of chilli powder

1/2 tsp garam masala

1 tbs coriander powder

1 garlic mashed in a mortar and pestle

1 tsp ginger , same

combination of orange juice or lemon juice and olive oil
