What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[truewhite15]

I'm going to confess here to never having understood Sunday roasts. Bland meat with bland potatoes and bland veg. Washed down with sometimes bland, sometimes admittedly awesome gravy. I hate going to a pub or someone's family and having it stuck in front of you liked it's the dog's. Yorkshire's are good though. In fact I think I don't mind chicken, lamb, or gammon, it's just beef. Tasteless meh.

I once thought like you. Then I realised that it was just being cooked poorly. Roasts vary vastly depending one who's made it for you, but a really good roast dinner is very, very hard to beat.

I've even experimented cooking a chicken roast, having rubbed said chicken with a garlic and herb paste. Gorgeous.

Stick a Lemon up a chickens arse. Immediate improvement.

With all due respect ... only do this with an already deceased chicken.

[boltonboris]

With all due respect ... that's optional

Went to the xmas markets yesterday.

Thusly, I am now over £100 lighter, but was well oiled and well fed, and have a fridge full of British, French, Irish and Dutch cheese, a pigs-worth of cured meats, and some chilli black pudding (this last one was such a good surprise that some people in the crowd overheard me talking aboput it and asked where they could buy it).

We're also having Cassoulet for us tea an all.

Its not such a bad life at times.

[Wandering Willy]

Oh how the other half live.

This is not something I do, but I have a friend who does, and in Cordoba, at El Caballo Roja, last Monday, he tried Morcilla - the Spanish blood pudding - and said it was the best he'd ever tasted...

[boltonboris]

I like the shit they flog on the Xmas markets. I just don't like the wankers who dawdle around wide jawed, in awe of a wooden hut with decorations. So in awe that they stop dead in their tracks in the centre of the walkway and stop every other feck* getting past. Oh and the hot dogs make you puke out of your arse aswell as your mouth.

C*nts. Where's the angry thread.

[William the White]

Fundador is a pretty decent brandy in my book Will. No expert mind.

I am eating or drinking the weirdest food or drink you can think of and you will never guess it

Is it Aardvark and Ribena flavoured breakfast cereal with lashings of monoethylene glycol, Dan? OK. I give up.

[boltonboris]

the beef from a Japanese Cow that's been hand massaged by virgins since birth and fed on a diet of beer before its untimely end in an abatoir?

Because I've had that.... Cost me £55 sheets for a fillet, but you only live once.. As proven by the slab of meat on my plate.

Ma's home-made prather pie toneet. fecking get in!!!

Had a meeting in Preston today, which always provides an opportunity to shoehorn in a visit to Booth's at Fulwood to pick up a jar of their utterly lush smoked salmon pate (sealed with butter. Oh my!). Whilst there I also picked up cray fish tails to accompany the pate on a fresh baguette tomorrow evening. Also picked up a Gressingham poussin, so that little blighter's getting bacon across it's back at some point soon, and a slab of Garstang Blue (a new one on me, I think. Can't possibly live up to the Danablu can it?).
Also, I can't remember whether LK said it was 2009 or 2010 that was a particularly good year for Rhone. Anyway, being as they were half price (£5.99 and £5.09) I picked up two of each.

I really wish that this fecking Morrison's by here could be bought by EH Booth. I wish, I wish, I wish........

As a rule, 2010 Bruce.

Though always take it with a pinch of salt, /growersproducers/reviewers/sellers all have heir own motivations when it comes to bigging up a year. They may need a boost in money/owe someone a favour/ have a lot of stock to shift. Buggers.

Exactly why I'd rather listen to you instead, Chef. Tried a 2010 tonight and it was absolutely lush. The Garstang Blue's actually so non-committal in terms of its blue-ness that it's sickly. I have some rosemary biscuits which I'll try it with tomorrow but otherwise it's going in the bin!
