Off Topic The cooking thread….

Dormice were a Roman delicacy. Roasted and dipped in honey or stuffed much like a modern day turkey.

 

Not cooking (well, not me personally), but as we're off to New Theatre to see Inside Number 9 we popped to Minerva for lunch. I had steak pie (as usual) and the mrs had vegetarian moussaka, both were superb as always and very reasonably priced

 

Funny, as soon as I saw that pie coming up my screen I thought, looks like Christine's steak pie. Then, bugger me, it is! Great stuff!

 

Bacon butty

 

Bit pink bob

 

When you going to cook the bacon

 

Perfectly cooked.

 

Cooked perfectly so the meat is still nice and moist and tender but the fat had started crisping.

 

See you only smacked the bacon's arse Amin.

 

Pork sushi?

 

Not a criticism as such but, for me, a bacon butty has to be made with streaky bacon - fat IS flavour!

 

Gone healthy tonight…Mexican style chicken & salsa in a lime & garlic dressing

 

Anyone ever made a madras and managed to get it proper like a Indian restaurant?

 

I've watched a guy on you tube called als kitchen. He does a range of 30 minute curries (including madras). As good as a restaurant? But I enjoy them

 

That looks the biz, my sort of thing.

 

We have one up here called a South Indian Garlic Chilli. It’s hot as ****, but the flavour is ****ing fabulous.

 

I had carpaccio in Spain a few years ago, it was fantastic, could have eaten it all night.

 

I did a while back with a recipe from The Curry Secret by Kris Dhillon. Best curries I've made with that book. Might need to dig it out of the box in the loft.

 

Get the Christmas tree while your up there.
