====Best recipe review====

''Soft texture and tasty''

4.8/5 

This takes a long time to cook, but as it's in the slow cooker you could even cook it on the timer while you're out. I love the way the meat fibres break up after this long cook.

===Chef's notes===
Last time we made this, there was lots of leftover gravy. So we froze the surplus [[stock]] in 150ml plastic coffee cups and then vacuum packed them as little [[stock]] lollies. These have proved to be a highly useful and delicious [[stock]] base. ''When finding them in the [[freezer]]I wondered what recipe they came from until re-making this recipe again today!''
