Experiments With Food

[Jigot]

I'm going to rustle up something out of the only ingredients that is in Jigot's larder. Which comprises of the following items.

 

7 tin o Tyskie

6 bottles of Bud (fuckin room temperature)

1/2 a slate o DF's

And what appears to be a brick of Sultanas or it could be Raisins, fuck knows?

 

[dervish]

What are DFs?

 

Get in about the Tyskie, when thats done I'd have a go at fermenting the raisins. Tank the DF things in you... the bud... if your getting that far be as well smash the bottle on just end it.

Dervish, what's your avatar, I can't decide between a small purse and a clean drain, probably neither.

Looks like a pisher wi fitba goals to me.

I think yer spot on pipes. You've tae try and get the ba in the goals hence nae splashin' the flair. Or it could be Dervish's birthday cake. A helluva icing though if it is!

Correct answer. The germans don't do many things well but pishers with football goals in them is one of them.

[dervish]

Preferable to the dutch variety.

worked a treat! i didn't have any nut butter about (other than peanut butter, and i'm pretty sure that's not what they intended), so i made it with just olive oil. snackable. and relatively good for you.

Yorkshire pubs.

 

Who can make those?

 

I can do a mean yorkshire.

Anyways maybe bacon and cheese kale would be ok? Might need to tweak the recipe a bit. Drop the kale perhaps?

 

Dunno why but I've not bothered doing any fancy cooking lately. Too busy DIYing and gardening I think. Though worked out some decent burgers. Basically few mushrooms (really only a few) load of onions and pepper and salt, blitzed, streaky bacon in as well, blitzed, cheapest fattest mince (2/3rds total), blitzed. Mix in the rest by hand. Make a roll of it on clingfilm pretty tight(maybe half the dia of final burgers). Leave it for as long as you can. Over night is good. Then slice out each burger twice as thick as you want then pat out to final thickness. Make sure there is plenty pepper on it too. Then just the usual. Prob best with streaky bacon (more yeah..) and cheese maybe mushrooms.

 

These days tend to make a much sharper sauce to go with it though. Mayo + Piccalilli + horseradish + dijon + maybe a small bit of ketchup just to cut through the all the fat.

Food is ace.

 

Got no time for ready meal slobs or The nightly chip supper crew.

are you a food-snob, Bluto?

[Bluto10]

Yeah, definitely.

 

Don't get me wrong I can trough a kebab and chip with the best of them but folk whodont or won't appreciate fine food and drink are obviously not worth my time.

And my times fuckin valuable you know.

 

Sheltered insular folk can GTF.

[Bluto10]

Its like folk who don't holiday.

Or go anywhere at the weekends.

 

Its unbelievable the amount of people where ever they are who don't explore their own doorstep.

 

Lifeless slugs.

[dervish]

Well in a way don't disagree. We're lucky these days in our freedom and ability to eat near enough anything we want or go anywhere we want. Some folk, especially with kids, don't have that luxury. Can tell you if I was home at 6pm after setting off at 6am having to cook for 5 other people I'd not be fucking about with food much (still would be good but not prep intensive!) and when it came to holidays paying 4 or 5 times more for it I'd be much more restricted too.

 

Like I say do agree in general but is easy to be judgemental.

For lovers of peanut butter and chocolate..

 

Chocolate peanut biscuit brownies!

[looksgoodinred]

That your own efforts??

Aye. All of about 10 minutes of effort they bake. The kids eat.

[looksgoodinred]

There isn't one. Just take biscuits -- fitever kind you like best that you think goes with peanut butter -- if they're big maybe just one per muffin tin. If thinner, use two (I used two plain chocolate biscuits that had chopped peanuts on them in each). Smear with a generous dollop of peanut butter. Put in muffin cup. If using a second, repeat and pop on top.

 

Use a box chewy brownie mix. Prepare according to instructions. Put a spoonful (you should have just enough brownie batter for 12 of these). Smoosh around cookies a bit (it melts down around as it cooks so don't worry too much about filling around all the cookie). Bake for about 25 minutes. Job done.

Look scrumptious, pity i`m on a diet .

[alscotoz]

Sorry look shite to me. Does it make a difference if you deep fry them?

[dervish]

Not a huge sweet fan but peanut can take it back far enough towards savory to like so I'm a fan.

 

See below for DIY cold smoked salmon (thought put up before but canna see), I do it way sweeter with ginger than normal plus less time to keep it lighter. These were el cheapo on offer from Tesco. Anyways did mackerel tonight had a dunt then making pate tomorrow.

 

Cured but not smoked.

 

 

Salmon al la Dervish.

 

 

[looksgoodinred]

I give you peanut butter bars not like I've made them before. Peanut butter cookie base. Layer of sweet fluffy peanut butter stuff. Chocolate icing and then a couple handfuls of mini peanut butter cups. Peanut butter overkill.

[dervish]

Big fan of the ol' nut butter eh? Looks good what was the fluffy stuff?

 

Had a first go at making and using a starter for bread/dough can confirm is the dogs baws. First use was ciabatta but pizza dough for the first time tastes like proper dough.

i love nut butters. and they're great for you. the fluffy stuff was peanut butter whipped with icing sugar and a bit of cream.

 

by a starter, do you mean a poolish? (i've used that in making baguettes, but never thought to do it with pizza dough.) i would love to get my hands on a proven sour dough starter some day.

[dervish]

Same thing as far as I can tell. Same here about sour dough though I'm sure I'd kill it. Being a lazy shite I've left it in the bowl of the mixer and seems to be going ok. When for pizza can really beast it for gluten and still rise.

I have my own starter he's called dave and lives next to the aga

 

had him for about a year now the wife feeds him when I'm away and make batches of sour dough when I am home

 

I actually thought this thread was going to be about shoving food stuffs in erotic places.

 

Ach well

hanging out beside the Aga sounds cozy

since Dervish is looking for a proven starter, might you be able to spare a little of dave?

[looksgoodinred]

 

Korean scallion pancakes.

with a tangy spicy dipping sauce.

quick to make. and surprisingly very filling.

 

next time i'd cut the scallions even smaller; the pancakes were a bit thick for my liking. but phenomenal!

[dave_min]

Far too Southern IMO my opinion.
