Food glorious food....

[Penfold42]

We seem to have quite a few foodies on here so what's you best dish?

Can be simple or complex - no need to go into the smallest detail, just basic's....what do you do, food wise to impress...??

Simple snack -
Cheese beano's (beans on toast with grated cheese on top - slapped under the grill to brown) or Tin of Heinz big soup with a tin of beans mixed.....polish off with 1/2 a loaf or baggette of bread......quick and easy!!

To impress -
Devils on horseback - Prunes wrapped in bacon with a hot sauce...nice for picking at...

Leon salad - lettuce (not iceburg), lardons fried (dont throw the fat away), fried bread (with the fat) chopped into cubes, place lettuce, lardons and fried bread in bowl, toss with vinegarette, onto a plate, topped with poached egg - split this to dribble down........not very good for you but really nice!!
This can either be a snack starter or main....

Followed by drunken grapes - White grapes soaked in Brandy (it must be good Brandy) over night, Double cream - whipped nice and thick, leave to set in fridge over night, sprinkle with brown sugar, burn using blow touch (Callum - ask your parents first....:D ) of grill to caramilise sugar......

These are just a couple - could put more but these are the ones that keep time in the kitchen down to the minimum....

What are you favorite foods...??

[TonyB]

Frozen Curry - total cooking time 8 minutes and dinner is ready :D

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Quick one for you - Bruschetta

You''ll need:

French bread sliced longways
Milano salami
Plum vine tomatoes
Mozzarella
Basil leaf
Garlic
Black pepper
Olive oil

Toast the bread lightly on both sides, then rub liberally with the garlic.

Put a few slices of salami, cheese and tomato on each piece of bread and top with freshly ground black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil and basil leaf.

Toast until mozzarella had melted and serve with a fresh salad.

By the way, don't attempt to kiss anyone after consuming this one....

[Penfold42]

I'll let Steve post the recipe.

[Larry B Entertainment]

Marmite on toast and im happy :)

You either love it or hate it :D

[Corabar Steve]

I'll have to dig it out first, but basically it's..

Rice, petit pois, spring onions, brown sugar & tomato ketchup. Can't remember the exact proportions off the top of my head, but you cook it until all the liquid is absorbed. Lovely hot or cold.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Lovely hot or cold.

Indeed it is. I've had it cold at Steve's and it is delicious.

[ross@rds]

Salmon in Vodka Cream Sauce with Green Peppercorns mmmm :P lol.

[Penfold42]

Sounds good.....where's the liquid come from...are you meaning place all the ingredients together, including the water to cook the rice....?

[Penfold42]

Yep....love it.....spread it like jam.....!!

[Corabar Steve]

Sounds good.....where's the liquid come from...are you meaning place all the ingredients together, including the water to cook the rice....?

Yep

Right....

Heat 15ml oil in large saucepan, add 225g long grain rice & pour in 750ml chicken or vegatable stock, 60ml ketchup & 1 tblsp soft brown sugar.

Simmer for 12 mins then add 75g frozen petit pois & 3 chopped spring onions (green bits too) cook for another 5 mins or so until peas are cooked & liquid is absorbed.

Works well with sweetcorn or a 50/50 mix corn & peas.

No, gotta be jam or golden syrup.

Not eaten yet, can't decide between Pork Chop, Lamb Chop, Chicken or a Fry up http://planetsmilies.net/eat-drink-smiley-542.gif (http://planetsmilies.net) (Angela's at her Mum's so the decision is down to me)

Chicken today......all the works...inc mash!!
Feel a right fat git now. Been told it's diet time Monday!:( :(

[Corabar Steve]

I'm leaning towards having a Fry up (With Chips & Mushrooms & Grilled Tomato)

[Penfold42]

Black pudding as well?
Got to be done.............:)

[Corabar Steve]

Yep, Sausage, Eggs, Bacon, Black Pudding, Mushrooms, Tomato, & Chips.

Maybe a Fried slice too don't know yet.

[Penfold42]

Good bit of grease.....can't beat it!

[Corabar Steve]

Very true, but I don't get the opportunity too often. Angela likes her food a bit more healthy. Not that I complain, we're both good cooks.

[Penfold42]

A bit of stodge once in a while don't hurt, just need to know how to moderate it......
MD gets all her ideas from weight watchers......fat free and all that...some of them are nice or she tries this yellow day, green, red......

Did a yellow day with here a while back....as many eggs as you like....got really egg bound for a few days......not funny!!!:D :D

[Corabar Steve]

Right I'm off to do dinner. I'm quite looking forward to it.

[Corabar Steve]

The finished article, just before the application of Salt (Egg & Chips), Vinegar (Chips), Brown Sauce (Sausages) & Tomato Ketchup (Bacon). Black Pudding is under the Fried Slice. Washed down with a nice cold bottle of Green Goblin (top right).

Hit the spot & no mistake!

That looks lovely, Steve.

So...what did you have AFTER the starter?

[Corabar Steve]

I'm toying with the idea of sponge pudding in a bit.

[rob1963]

Sponge putting in a bit of WHAT? :p

[Corabar Steve]

About half an hour ago. With Custard.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Yep, Sausage, Eggs, Bacon, Black Pudding, Mushrooms, Tomato, & Chips.

Maybe a Fried slice too don't know yet.

Followed by a pint of the black stuff, just to block the rest of your arteries?:guinness:

No, you were right, just not with dinner. I can't drink stout with food (makes it taste funny)

[PropellerHeadCase]

I can't abide funny-tasting stout :eek:


I'm a big fan of my wife's lasagnes and meatloafs.

When I'm out it's a fry-up with black-pudding (as wifey can't stand even having it in the fridge) for brunch and big actually rare (as opposed to English rare) steaks and seafood for dinner.
I had dinner with a friend just out of York last year and I had t-bone steak, chops, gammon steak and a few other cuts as well... yum!
I had an octopus gumbo when I was in Rarotonga... FANTASTIC!

Then only thing that I can cook well, that I also really like is what I've taken to calling Bologñese Con Carne as it started it's life as a bolognese sauce but now also has loads of vegetables in it, too. There's a trick to getting the mince right ;)

Oh, yeah, I'm also a fiend for anything involving wholegrain mustard. I love me a good Beef Vindaloo, and the Nando's Double-Breast Burger with Extra-Hot Sauce.

[Corabar Steve]

Shame I've had a drink, there's an all night 'babery in Camden I could've driven down.

[PropellerHeadCase]

Does it worry anyone else that certain types of kebab are full of bits of meat that you can't quite tell where they've come from and they call them donor kebabs :eek:

[rob1963]

they call them donor kebabs :eek:

Does this mean someone donates them???

Now Rob, stop reading dictionaries to try & keep up with Al & myself.

[Corabar Steve]

Today's recipe is for a snack (I've had it twice today)

Toast one side of a slice of brown bread. Spread the other side with green pesto & place a slice of dry cure honey-roast ham onto this.

Thinly slice a tomato & place the slices on top of the ham, top with grated Cheddar, Emental or Mozzarella (or a combination of the 3). Return to the grill & toast until the cheese browns, cut into 3 fingers / soldiers & eat.

Yummy

[Penfold42]
