bluehuddo Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I had a fish dinner from the chippy tonight. Was good but now I wish I'd got chips, curry and rice! Luckily you can have it tomorrow. I will have to wait 18 months foe my next one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Speak for yourself, I am an Obese bastard Opposite me, docs keep weighing me and telling me to put on some pounds; all my old "medium" Everton shirts fit me now, which is a plus.....but I have to steal them out of Josh's wardrobe 'cause he's nicked them all (actually it's normally a pile on the floor job rather than wardrobe ). rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vranny Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 For an Australian that's never heard of such cultural cuisine just how do they serve up this chips, curry and rice dish? Are each part of the dish served up seperately, with the curry being used for dipping your chips into, or is it served up together as a sloppy nachos-esc mess? Can't say I've ever of anything like it over here, but I'm very curious to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 When I played my last game of football, aged 40, in 1976 I weighed 14 stone. I still weigh 14 stone regardless of what I eat. Never diet and love carbs. Whose a lucky boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I'm not sure where I'd get chips doused in curry sauce around here, but Wendy's do "ghost pepper fries," and they're very good (although I shouldn't have them, really). It's melted cheese and chopped (very) hot peppers over chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 we eat a lot of pasta, my son is 2 years old and loves it. red sauce, pesto, olive oil, doesn't matter how we prepare it he eats it up. had tortellini last night (a personal favorite on mine), it was delicious. might just change this to the "food" thread.

Josh grew up on pasta, would eat it every day if he could. I make my own sauce in big batches (red wine, pesto, passata, oregano mostly) and freeze about eight portions at a time. Spicy sausage tortellini is his current fave, with plenty of parmesan naturally! markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Made meatballs last night with a homemade spicy tomato and smoky BBQ sauce. Very enjoyable Also realised at the weekend, that I've had a 2 man Alpine cheese and meat platter for lunch. Might make a habit of it, all the cheese and meats came from the same town, it's just epic markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcopaulo Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 With Mike on the chippy and ice cream thing. Chinese and Indian are mega round this way..didn't ever notice if it's Bangladeshi or what have you though.

Cornish Steve Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Within a 10 minutes' drive, we have Southern, Cajun, Jamaican, Cuban, Mexican, Peruvian, Brazilian, Indian, Moroccan, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Laotian, Mongolian, English, Irish, French, Italian, Spanish, Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Greek - and these are just the ones off the top of my head. In some cases, there are multiple to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Just went to a take away near work, and they have swapped the goat for lamb/mutton. Still nice, but it's lost its authenticity :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Had a bacon butty for lunch. Bacon from local butchers, 3 big thick rashers and two door stoppers of bread (no butter for health reasons). Just had tea. 'Pulled pork' pasty, new potatoes, peas and sweetcorn. All accompanied by a pint of London Pride. Ice cream to follow. Like mainly plain, honest food. Can't stand garlic, makes me ill. Favourites are roast beef (well done) or lamb (also well done). Love crab and lobster but don't have it very often. One of the problems of eating out is I always have to ask if there is garlic in the dish, some chef's can't cook without putting garlic in. Once went into a pub/restaurant in Stamford, Lincs, with 5 or 6 guys I had been playing golf with. We looked at the menu and I asked the landlord if one particular dish had garlic in. He said 'I put garlic in everything'. I said 'can I have this without garlic' and he said 'no'. We all looked at each other and agreed to walk out. We went somewhere else and he lost 5 or 6 covers.

It's lovely, you can eat the whole plant but the flowers in particular are great in salads. There's a place just down a lane outside our village where huge amounts grow every year on the grass verge. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted May 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 The curry rice chips and sausage sounds like an English version of Poutine. It's a Canadian dish that is excellent. Fries (or chips for you blimeys) covered in brown gravy and cheese curds. Meat can be added as well. It's delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chips from the chippy cannot be beaten, especially if you eat them out of the paper. I'm going to have to go the chippy soon. rubecula and EFC-Paul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
