DieselDaisy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Because of yesterday's food disaster - which I feel thoroughly embarrassed about, and have since apologized to my innards, torturing them with Asda's Rogan Josh - I made and ate a traditional Northumbrian Pan haggerty: hearty winter goodness.

wasted Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 I made a Penang white curry noodle. Think it was thai or malay. Rich and spicy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I rarely have one but I had an absolute cooking disaster making burgers just now. Burgers broke apart in pan (I don't think the mince I used was fine enough) and I burnt my finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 English pub style breaded haddock with horseradish-mayo mixed with ketchup as a faux seafood sauce. With a side of spinach and mushrooms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust then that you possess the good sense to arrive with a charcuterie board? Or at least some baklava.

Something to do with cheese innit? Yeah, charcuterie is a specialization in meat prep but I think most people mean a meat and cheese platter with nuts, pickles, mustard and other dips. Just bring some Stilton, then. Beer, skunk Stilton and evangelism. We'd be legends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I passed a Vegan fast food place in the Toon tonight. That'll twist some Geordie stereotypes among the British members here. And no, I didn't go in. Had beef, ginger and spring onions from the (to use the colloquial) chinky's waiting at home. 21 minutes ago, Lio said: Oh, is that a ploughman's lunch maybe? I've come across it in books and I never really knew what it was. They'd probably be cheese. A Ploughman's is basically a selection of cured meats (as in picture), cheese, and usually some grapes and olives, all laid on a platter and served with bread. I suspect it is one of those rustic farmer's dishes that the middle classes appropriated and Frenchified for wife swapping parties haha.

We use charcuterie too as in what we put on a sandwich. So you could go to a deli or grocery store and get charcuterie, which is meat we'd put on bread. So it's not always a platter of it. It's just the word we use for any meat you put on bread. I thought the English expression for that was cold cuts. Charcuterie is a word that is only used in Flemish though, not in Holland. We have lots of French words obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For cured meats, mainly just bacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be very disappointed in those dips and sides at a proper joint like The Feathers. Pie N Chips at The Feather is on the to do list! I try and eat spinach and mushrooms at least once a day. But no, its not great pairing with breaded fish. 1 minute ago, SoulMonster said: Eh, okay, thanks for telling me what cheeses you eat.
