What kind of meat (or cheese) is it?

Tonight, I'm going to present another recipe.

Look carefully at the photo below.





I guess that humbert and shadow.97 must be wondering what it is. It is a Pot-au-feu, one of France's most iconic dishes. You need a beef shank as seen in the first photo. The secret is that a simple, slow-cooked stew of tender beef and vegetables create a hearty, flavorful meal.

Do you eat all this in a single sitting? That's a ton of vegetables not to even mention the meat itself.

Humbert was visibly flabbergasted and pointed out how copious the meal was. It turns out that my recipe suggestions often come with a generous quantity of food, indeed. For a everyday and dietary meal, an avocado and a small portion of rice are certainly better, but it wouldn't be funny to post it on the forum.
Note that the piece of meat is smaller than the photo may suggest (330 grams).

Tonight, I'm going to show you a new stuff.

Look at the photos below.






Vasudev and shadow.97 probably know what it is: a saucisson with a piece of bread.
But look at the use-by date: the saucission expired four months ago.
Actually, I didn't pay attention to the use-by date when I chose the saucission, and the cashier noticed that the saucisson was expired, so I was given the saucisson since it's not allowed to sell expired food in France.
Now, humbert and aa1234779 probably want to know if I'm going to get sick from eating an expired saucission.
First off, let's cut this saucisson to check it. At first glance, it seems good. There is no foul smell. The saucisson is as hard as wood but it seems eatable.
We are going to drink a beer too: alcohol will help sterilize the saucisson.
To conclude, it seems it's safe to eat an expired saucisson. However I wouldn't recommend to do that with any kind of food, especially seafood (Consuming expired seafood can result in scombroid poisoning, caused by high levels of histamine, or other bacterial infections). If humbert or Maher stumble upon expired seafood, they will likely be warned by the stench anyway.

OK fine, the recipe call for all that food. The question becomes: in how many sittings do you eat it all? I'd assume you'd eat 1/3 of it and put the rest in the fridge for tomorrow. Vegetables are notorious for taking away your hunger quickly.

Actually I ate it all. But I had not eaten much at noon. In fact the picture is probably misleading. The carrots and green peas came from a tin can, and the carrots were very small.
