AKCJ Posted 16 December 2014 Posted 16 December 2014 Mmmm.. Do you toss the spaghetti in melted butter and black pepper? Butter, yes. But no pepper.
MC Prussian Posted 16 December 2014 Posted 16 December 2014 About to open up a lovely package of fresh pasta.
sphericalfox Posted 16 December 2014 Posted 16 December 2014 About to open up a lovely package of fresh pasta. surely if it's packaged then it's not fresh?
MC Prussian Posted 16 December 2014 Posted 16 December 2014 surely if it's packaged then it's not fresh? Freshly packaged. EDIT: No pics this time, my pasta-making abilities beat my toast-making ones by a new low.
Buce Posted 16 December 2014 Posted 16 December 2014 surely if it's packaged then it's not fresh? Fresh, as opposed to 'dry' pasta?
Unabomber Posted 16 December 2014 Posted 16 December 2014 Some oatcakes, mexican cheese, mature cheddar and homemade chilli jam, nice.
MooseBreath Posted 16 December 2014 Posted 16 December 2014 Sliced pork shoulder fried with onions, Romano peppers, garlic, black pepper, soy sauce, honey and Thai 7 spice. Side of jasmine rice.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 16 December 2014 Posted 16 December 2014 Dare anyone to tell me that TJ's on the High Street doesn't do the best chicken shish in the UK
Guest Col city fan Posted 16 December 2014 Posted 16 December 2014 For three months I've been on the Slimming World diet. I don't go to group, but Mrs Col does, so we've been doing the diet together. She's lost three stone and I've lost two.. So this evening, I went to Males, in Blaby, bought some duck and cover, and came out £400 less than when I went in. It's great. I feel very different and can now wear clothes, comfortably, that I haven't been able to get into for yonks. The best bit about it is being able to eat filling food, but cook it correctly and simply cut some bits out. Now the idea is to maintain it. On the downside, I've genuinely felt much colder since the weight loss. Less blubber going on, I guess.
Guest Col city fan Posted 16 December 2014 Posted 16 December 2014 Dare anyone to tell me that TJ's on the High Street doesn't do the best chicken shish in the UK Aquarius, in Glenfield, do a beautiful chicken shish. The best I've ever had I would say.
Soar Fox Posted 16 December 2014 Posted 16 December 2014 Dare anyone to tell me that TJ's on the High Street doesn't do the best chicken shish in the UK Istanbul restaurant on Narborough road. Or Blue peter bar & grill.
Webbo Posted 17 December 2014 Posted 17 December 2014 I bought some blue legs (a type of mushroom) because I'd been told what a delicacy they are. £4 a pound and tbh they don't taste much different to ordinary mushrooms.Very disappointing.

Apparently, they are quite common in Leicestershire, Webbo, if being free might improve the flavour... http://www.mushroomdiary.co.uk/tag/blue-leg/
Webbo Posted 17 December 2014 Posted 17 December 2014 I'd never risk picking wild mushrooms. I don't know enough about them not to end up eating something poisonous.
Nick Posted 17 December 2014 Posted 17 December 2014 I'd never risk picking wild mushrooms. I don't know enough about them not to end up eating something poisonous. Come on now, don't tell me you didn't spend your formative years on your hands and knees crawling through the grass, giggling whilst looking for the above......
Buce Posted 17 December 2014 Posted 17 December 2014 Come on now, don't tell me you didn't spend your formative years on your hands and knees crawling through the grass, giggling whilst looking for the above...... Ahhhhhh.... Psilocybin. Best mushroom omlette I ever made.
pSinatra Posted 17 December 2014 Posted 17 December 2014 Blue legs are quite easy to recognise. I've put up this picture, as it seems to be the most realistic I could find & the closest to what I've seen. The blue tint is only slight & the cap a grey beige & slimy as hell. I've picked hundreds but they look revolting & have never eaten any. I used to work with a bloke who would spend all day looking for blue legs & sold them down his local. There are loads of them everywhere - not just in forests, but pretty much anywhere. The largest haul I ever found was in a disused council garage site
MC Prussian Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 The girlfriend and I underestimated the time it takes to make a roast, so we've switched plans and are serving that roast tonight. Four hours of straight cooking, another half an hour in the oven. Broccoli and wild rice along with it - bliss.
Tincy Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 Istanbul restaurant on Narborough road. Or Blue peter bar & grill. I second Istanbul, fantastic food all round.

The largest haul I ever found was in a disused council garage site Blue legs are lovely - I find it bizarre that people tend to only eat the white common mushrooms (that I'm not even sure the name of) when there are so many edible varities. Beefsteak, oyster and puffballs (no jokes) are all nice too. Currently eating a vintage cheddar and branston pickle, brown bread sandwich.
Webbo Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 Just had a couple of home made kebabs made from the left overs of Sundays Lamb joint, salad and plenty of hot pepper sauce. delightful.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 Pizza - goats cheese, onion chutney and veg with garlic bread. Lovely stuff
ScouseFox Posted 7 January 2015 Posted 7 January 2015 making me a pizza bagel for tea. miss these things, they were a staple of the school canteen way back when. good times.
Unabomber Posted 11 January 2015 Posted 11 January 2015 I'm cooking roast chicken curry tonight. Get a chicken cover it in madras curry paste, stick in a tray with onions garlic, chillis, chopped tomatoes then roast and serve with basmati rice.
