perfect limey food

[semenza]

Water doesn't work very well. Milk and yogurt are better at putting the fire out.
"Help! Where is the nearest yogurt fountain?!"

Hi,

    Well, anything in a pinch.  I suppose he could have raided someones lunch for yogurt.    Now wouldn't that be a sight to top it off...  smearing yogurt on his face

Well this limey is looking forward, in about 6 weeks time to sampling once again the following (in no particular order)

Steak and Kidney pudding

Fresh raspberries and  clotted cream

Kippers

Sunday roast (Roast leg of lamb, roast potatoes, baked suet pudding, baked parsnips, peas, carrots, mint jelly and bisto gravy)

Bacon Roly-Poly

and a few 'jars' of Caffreys or Boddingtons to wash it down

Guess I should get my cholesterol checked before embarking on the above rather than after  ;D

I'd rather have a Deep Dish Pizza any day. Invented in Chicago, USA in the 1940's. Not Italian like people think.

Gino's, Lou Malnati's or even Uno's, but Kidney pudding, yuck!  Go back to England and eat that crap yourself!

 

[neoshed]

I'd rather have the pizza as well.....kidney and liver wharrrf.

Roast lamb on the other hand.....yummmy

 

[dirtydeeds]

the biggest problem with liver and also with kidney is the way you cook it

it should always be cooked at high heat for a short while and should be ever so SLIGHTLY undercooked

any more and it resembles, tastes and cuts like 100 year old shoe leather

wasabi, killer taste, love it to death

steak and kidney pud, wonderful IF cooked right, terrible if not

 

[dirtydeeds]

if you like kippers, try arbroth smokies

if you want perfection eat arbroth smokies hot straight out of the smoke house

i went to the isle of mann one time, they have a similar smoked fish, id driven 8 hours to wales, on the ferry for 3 hours and arrived at 6 in the morning

i demolished 18 for breakfast and still wanted more

another similar smoked fish is still smoked at robin hoods bay in yorkshire

it really is food to kill for with hot bread and lashings of butter

What does that mean, exactly?

 

[dirtydeeds]

butter is exactly what it means

mantequilla as i understand it is the correct spanish, not a spread, not miricale whip or anything else (like butter with some vegatable oi)

lashings ( a slightly old fashioned term) for a lot

One big problem with eating liver in the States is its beef liver, I go to a local slaughter house and get lambs liver a lot more tender than beef liver and the most often type eaten in the UK.. liver onions and bisto gravy with a spoonful of marmite added to it . yum yum

Hi,

Hi, I love bacon, what are bacon roly polys? Seth

Take from this website:

Bacon Roly-Poly

This is another traditional dish and is made with a suet pastry. Suet pastry is made in the same way as shortcrust pastry, but using beef suet which can be bought in packets.

To 12 ounces of flour (320 g), add half its weight (6 ounces, 160 g) of suet, and rub the fat into the flour until it takes the appearance of breadcrumbs. Add a seasoning of pepper and herbs (parsley, thyme and/or sage, if liked) to the mixture and mix in a little cold water to form a stiff dough. Do not over-knead the pastry or it will be hardened- handle it as little as can be managed. Roll the dough out on floury board into a long oval, and sprinkle with 6 ounces of bacon pieces and a whole onion chopped (raw). Roll up the pastry to form a roly-poly. Suet pastry can be baked or steamed. Bake in slow (medium to low) oven for two hours. Serve as slices with green vegetables and a sauce to moisten the dish.

if you like kippers, try arbroth smokies . . . .

Thanks for that tip - will have to look out for them.

Re. steak and kidney pud - I make my own with a gravy made from guinness - yum yum

forgot to say

lashings has evolved but retains the basics of the old meaning

"lashed" or "on the lash"

That helped a lot (not).

Now you have to explain "on the lash". 

 

[joraft]

Now you have to explain "on the lash". 

Well, here in America I would think it might have something to do with "S and M".

Now you have to explain "on the lash". 

: 'On the lash' or 'to go and get lashed up' are synonymous with  'getting pissed up', 'getting rat-arsed' or 'getting hammered'. Perhaps for members of the FOG 'getting dominoed' might be more appropriate than getting hammered  ;D If you haven't worked it out yet, all are euphemisms for going out, normally in a group, and imbibing several drinks of an alcoholic nature. Done properly, at some point in the evening you will also consume one of the following: a kebab, a Chinky, or an Indian. If it is an all nighter maybe all three!

I think I'm getting this. 'On the lash' would be the equivalent of our getting sh#t-faced.

And a lash of butter would be the same as slathered with butter.

I get the kebab, but what is a Chinky? An Indian? I have an idea, but what I'm thinking is extremely politically incorrect over here.

Both Chinky and Indian in this context refer to Chinese and Indian restaurants - usually but not always takeaways (take out?)  that can be found in most towns in the UK and seem to stay open late to cater for people 'on the lash'. The quality of the food served is variable, but often the customers are beyond caring. When I lived in the UK my local Chinky did something called Jo-Jo potatoes which are large pieces of potato covered in something similar to a KFC coating - very nice and the only place I've ever seen them served.

HTH,

Steve

Thanks, Steve, that is helpful.

Here, "Chinky" is considered an ethnic slur, so it's a word that is seldom used. And the Chinese and Indian restaurants usually close early.

I know there are lots of folks here out partying all night (wrecked cars are a common sight on most mornings), but I don't know where they eat because I'm at home tucked safely in bed.

Hi,

      There is an italian restuarant in Auburn NY that serves jo jo potatoes. Yes they are actually called that too. And they are the same as you describe..  a large thick wedge,, slices with a seasoned coating.    I have never seen them anywhere else. The place is Curley's  and it is an independent establishment (not a chain). been in business for decades.
