Food glorious food (The cooking thread)

Mine slightly thicker then a Saveloy!

I hear you bro. It's all about girth.

I hear you bro. It's all about girth.

The thing is most on this website have never put there Saveloy in anything other then there right palm

[DJ Barry Hammond]

I forgot about this thread I started!

Anyway, seeing as it raised itself to the top, mlght as well add some pictures of the Coq au vin I made last week - it was most beautiful, if you've never had it before I suggest you have a go and ensure you leave some left overs in the fridge for a couple of days - it's even better reheated.

I also had a bash at some Sable biscuits, having been inspired by after the "posh Bake Off "show.

Made some tandoori chicken which had been marinating for 4 days in the fridge. Tossed it on the barbeque then made a nice butter chicken sauce for it with basmati rice. Forgot to take pics .

Singh, tamarind chutney is one of my fav with samosas. Grannie used to make it with grated carrots back in the day and homemade keema or vege samosas. Sooooo good.

cheers man means a lot coming from you

[ScouseFox]

pickling your own jalapenos sounds DECE and certainly a little bit sexy

I can see how some people may find pictures of what others have cooked to be appetising. However, you seem to be missing the most important aspects of a meal. The taste and whether it fills you up. I think that this thread could be far superior to what it is now if we introduced a rating system on the taste of the food cooked. I would appreciate it if everyone that mentions a meal would rate the taste between 1 and 10 in the same post. I would find it most helpful.

 

For example, I had some scrambled eggs, chips and beans for dinner this evening. 6/10

[Unabomber]

My burger was 10 on the taste test cheese

[Durnerz]

My websites under construction at the moment, exciting times and more importantly free recipes for whoever wants them.

[Cheese]

Decided to let myself go a little this evening so I have just ordered a Hawaiian pizza and something called twisty fries from my local takeaway. I will update you all on the taste when I have finished it. 

[Cheese]

I have now finished my meal and overall I give it a 7/10. The pizza was average however these 'twisty fries' are very tasty and creative.

[Sharpe's Fox]

Made a chicken, leek and mushroom pie today. Had it with new potatoes and veg. Was delish like

For @@Cheese 8/10

[separator]

Spag Bol, CBA to make my own sauce so a jar of Ragu did the job...  7/10

[Cheese]

This evening I felt a little lazy so decided to make myself some beans on toast with a generous helping of cheese and a single hash brown. It was very satisfying.

 

8/10

Found it. Looks pretty straightforward.

It looks like they focus on, really good, pub grub.

Bump.

Just cooked Chicken & chorizo jambalaya, never had it before but popped onto BBC Good Food, it looked appealing on the search result so thought I'd try it. Looking forward to tasting it. 

 

It's very very nice. Spicy but not over the top, of course depending on your spice level of taste.
