Off Topic The General Food Chat

I just spin the plate round.

Its a cool move. my girl loves it.

 

Bit of brown sauce while cooking.

Adds spice without being spicy. If that makes sense.

 

How the **** did you fail with Yorkshires?

 

I'm right handed but eat left handed

 

I dunno what she did. maybe the stuck to the tin. We only tried the once and then stuck to being lazy.

 

most civilised people use their fork in the left hand and knife in the right.

 

That's kind of odd

 

My youngest is left handed but eats right handed too. He's also right footed.

My nephew is left handed and right footed too. My niece is right handed and left footed.

 

With regard to the beef stew, I remember hearing on a food show ages ago that what really enhances the flavour is adding a few anchovies. Weird but if the thought of it doesn't make you sick, give it a go.

 

My youngest is left handed and does everything left handed, however when it comes to sports he's ambidexterous.

 

plain

 

Fish sauce. Shove tiny bit in most stuff and makes it taste great.

 

With mash

 

Best thing I've bought for cooking has to be an air fryer,recently got a new one from Lidl with rotisserie in it, blooming ace.
I do all the cooking and from scratch none of that chemical gloop from a jar.
If you want to make proper British Indian restaurant style curries look up Al's kitchen on YouTube.Absolutely the dog's danglies but be prepared to buy quite a few different spices and put in the preparation .

 

Had a curry last night with stuff found in the fridge / cupboards:

1 onion finely chopped
3 cloves garlic
some quorn pieces

Add the above to hot pan until cooked.

Then mix in:

2 chopped chillies
a heap of garam masala
a bit of dried ginger
a bit of cumin
a bit of turmeric

Add a can of chopped tomatoes and half the tin again of water and cook down.
I'd normally add a cube of vegetable stock here, but we had run out.

Stir in a load of spinach (and some green beans I had left over that were otherwise going to waste).

When almost done, stirred in a pot of natural yoghurt

Served with basmati rice.

 

I had a delivery

 

I could go for that except the Quorn and the yogurt. Love a good veg curry.

 

Honestly quorn pieces in something like curry are great as they soak up the flavours. They also add much needed protein.

 

Started putting potato’s into our home made currys when we do them. Nice to thicken things up and soak up all the flavour

 

I just really don't like Quorn. To up the protein I would put sweet potatoes, a small tin of chickpeas or a cup of green peas and serve with wild rice instead of white rice. A cup of cooked green peas contains more protein than a cup of milk.
