Get to their restaurant sometime. It is supreme in the serving of the fishy delights.Bruce Rioja wrote:Wrights of Howth are the sex gods of the smoked salmon world. I might get my tackle out!
We should arrange a lads weekend sometime (quick, while Dan's not around).

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Had lunch there on the Sunday of my Birthday weekend (July), Bobo. Orgasmic. The moules were like mini-pillows. Definitely up for a weekend away, Fella, anytime you like.bobo the clown wrote:Get to their restaurant sometime.

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
tonight I am mostly making a Sweet Potato Gratin - which is...
sliced sweet potato - tossed with red chilli, garlic, ginger and double cream (s&p)
layered with crunchy peanut butter - whisked with lime zest and lime juice and a little oil
baked in the oven...
also - while I wait for it to cook - and hungry daughter is home from college demanding tea...
I have just sliced a warm and fresh-from-the-oven banana bread - which - though I say so myself, is the best banana bread ever to leave an oven! yum!!!

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
I'll put this in here rather than 'Watching'. I'm watching this GB Food Revival thing and Clarissa what's-it is asking a question that I have quite often. How come in the UK we don't eat more rabbit? I've only ever eaten it in Belgian restaurants and it's lovely. Thing is, I've see skinned rabbits for sale on the market but wouldn't know what on earth to do with one.

Love Rabbit. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to bring 'fluffy little bunnykins' in the house for the purposes of eating.
In France they grill it and cover in a 'paysanne' sauce with chopped and diced onions, carrots, potatoes etc. Delicious.
I did read somewhere though that there is little nutritional value in the flesh. LK?

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Rabbit is good and available on Bolton Market, as you say, Bruce. I've mostly had it casseroled with red wine at my friend, le chef's place (you've met him)... is it called something like 'drunken rabbit'? Was once viewed, by my parents' generation, as the cheap alternative to chicken... before we started torturing chicken by the million...Gary the Enfield wrote:Bruce Rioja wrote:I'll put this in here rather than 'Watching'.

Dunno, not heard that one, I was always taught that (like most game, if wild) it provided a good low fat source of protein.Gary the Enfield wrote:Bruce Rioja wrote:I'll put this in here rather than 'Watching'.

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Wrap it in streaky bacon. This applies to pheasant, partridge etc, as they have little fat so when cooked they can be dry.
Its a little involved, but we used to mince up the leg meat, then mix it with apricots, some herbs and mild spices, then stuff this into the boned saddleand wrap the whole thing in the aforementioned bacon, roll the whole thing like a sausage then wrap in tin foil and bake.
It might, of course, just be easier to make rabbit in red wine. Which to all intents and purposes is just a rabbit bourguignon.
