Re: British food
What I can't stand is when you go out for a meal and they do this hoi' cuisine or whatever it's called! All you get on a plate is a dot of this and a splodge of something else all nicely placed on the plate so they think! Well there's not enough to feed a bird never mind a human being!! I have to go out and have another meal after it to fill me up!! Bring back the good old British dishes where you get a proper plate full of food and none of this other silly way of presenting food.Re: British food
Agree with you too Alicat. Don't go out for a meal very often, but did go one dinner time, just before Christmas with my friend to celebrate her 60th. Decided to have lamb chops with chips and side veggies-we just sat and looked at our plates when the food arrived.....three small chops sat on few carrots, few peas and couple bits of broccolli with about 8 chunky chips at the side-didn't even fill the middle of the plate, never mind us.Re: British food
Re: British food
I don't watch many "food programme", but I do lke the witty reparte the Hairy Bikers have between them and they make their cooking look so easy. Fish is top of my list of favourites (all kinds) and I like to try it done in as many ways as anyone can invent. I really don't mind whether it is traditionally British or not - the more variety the better for me.Re: British food
One has to choose a restaurant carefully. I like Indian, I like Chinese, but I also like Bangers & Mash, steak & Kidney pie, Bacon pudding etc, etc. I shall be heartily glad when I can dispense with the elbow crutches I'm being forced to use at the moment and can actually stand in my kitchen and cook my own food again. Am looking forward to cooking a 'good' curry again. Last November I found a 'new' Scandanavian restaurant that served Reindeer steaks. Unfortunately on the night I went there they'd actually run out, so had a ham hock instead - the food was magnificent and more than enough to do justice to my appetite (which you all know is enormous).Re: British food
Re: British food
Mollie, yes I know what goes into a good sausage and it is not what some devious butchers put in them to make them fatter, also not as much water is used these days hence the less spitting that they do in the pan.
