All blokes think they have the best roasties recipe, but I'm the only one who actually has. Lots of boiling French goose fat required.
The secret to the best roast spuds is to par boil them, drain, lid on pan and quick shake to roughen them up at the edges. Then leave to stand and dry out a little. Meanwhile get the goosefat really hot and throw in coarse sea salt and rosemary then lob the spuds in and make sure fully covered in fat.
These are the best roasties
That's what happens CB, out goes the comedy/action show and in comes the cooking and DIY ones.Blimey guys I hope I'm not these obsessed with spuds by the time I'm your ages, although I could be tempted ........!!!!

Both these but goose fat can be exchanged to normal fat if you worry about you weight?

CB i think Ellers was simply referring to it being an age thing........Cooking & DIY takes over from Ministry of Sound.....

Slighty OT but looking for a variation on the traditional steamed sprouts for Christmas dinner I was recommended this -

Anyone tried this before?
I've done the whole panfried with lardons, water chestnuts and sherry thing but possibly a little too 'Jamie Oliver' for my liking.
Advice gratefully received
Ta in advance
No one likes sprouts, they only come out at xmas to torment the kids. Just leave them out an no one will complain.
I'll say one thing about supporting QPR. It gives me a hell of an appetite. Delia-Canaries eat your heart out.
Don't want to sound like a traitor but i also use a Delia recipe.

I thought that I'd give it a try tonight. Just got back from casualty.
My glasses always steam up when I cook and so I took them off and misread the above.
Try telling the nurse that you can't tell the difference between "l"s and "h"s whilst she's dabbing your parts with a wet cloth.
Should be ok in January.
