I met Antique dealer i'm acquainted with yesterday "the Government did it y'know" Mind you, he also told me that, "there's a car made completely of hemp, hidden somewhere in a research lab" "apparently you just fill it with water" "Oh, so is that why weed is illegal ?" I offered "EXACTLY..."
  4. No p-boy I'd put the "Peasants (that) are for sale in Herne Hill on a Sunday, 4 for ?10 at the Farmers market" in a Pot Roast. Nigel Slater's recipe of "Peasant with Sage and celery" is very good. I add Chorizo and cayenne and a larger sloosh of Vermouth, plus 750 ml of organic chicken stock. After sweating off the veg in the Chorizo rendered oil/fat mix, add the stock & vermouth toward the end, prior to adding the bird/s. Brown the bird/s in butter & oil lightly all round, but be extra attentive on the legs and lighter on the breast area. The legs need more cooking than the breast, which is why some find the bird tough or dry. Cooking the legs prior to dropping into the hot veg and rolling stock balances up the cooking rates of each area. I'm also inclined to place the bird breast down into the stock, then cover loosley with a baking paper Cartouche. 30 minutes covered at 170c, then take the pot out, uncover the bird & turn over. A sharp knife eases the legs from the junction of the carcass, leaving the legs splayed slightly more. You'll notice the meat is still pink and running at this point, so place back in the HOT oven, breast up and uncovered for a further 7-10 mins. Rest with the lid half off-serve with Quince or Medlar Jelly. I'm more inclined to have a pinker-rare meat than over done and dry. The mistake with Game Birds is to treat them like Chicken, they just don't have the same properties. I fridge mature mine in a stainless bowl for up to a week, lightly rub with oil and loose covered with baking or silicon paper. Thanks for asking !

No it's quite clipped, maybe with a slight wiff of Edinburgh, with a little added "sleaze" to it. But without the obvious James Bond "Ch-went-aaaaay" So, one last time "Twent-aaaaaaaay, oh yesh, Twent-aaaaaaaay times a day baaaay-bbbbby "
  6. Technically-Beef cooked to an internal temp of 70c for two minutes is "well done" It's standard level 2 food preparation regs. Essentially the product has to probed in the centre (not externally) with a digital meat thermometer for 2 minutes and hold that heat level consistently. So no more rare or even pink burgers at that temp, in Westminister. Incidentally, Lamb & Venison are well done at the same 70c temp, though Pork is "well done" at 75c.

Well maybe we can both agree that: Peasants are for sale in Herne Hill on a Sunday, 4 for ?10 at the Farmers market. See, not so far apart after all.
  8. Sounds a bit like the old "hearts" women empowering women scam, from back in 2001.
  9. Yes Jimmy Back in the old days/daze I visited there once. You just ask for a Ribena I was told, so in I went. "I'd like a Ribena please" "80p please" and the lady handed me a Ribena. "NO, i'd like a R-I-B-E-N-A please" I said twitching and nodding, winking, hoping she'd understood. "Wassa matta wit you, you aks for a RIBENA, I give you a RIBENA, then you aks for RIBENA whilst you got one in y'hand" Luckily somebody saw my plight and pulled me in the right direction. I was glad when it closed, to good to be true back in those days, like a mirage of sorts.
  10. I updated and live to regret it. Kent Woolgrowers shop has (since my upgrade-ha ha) relocated to a car park in Ashford just of the station, complete with vert ramps and grind rails, not a rat-trap or Barbour in sight. Though i'm quite moronically taken with the sat-nav that talks bit. The way he says "at the roundabout take the second exit onto the A20eehhhhhhh" is fantastic "Twent-aaaaaaay" Also, I know London like the back of my hand, but i'm fekked if I recognise any of it on my maps now. Is this an Apple thang ? Lastly, why did my contacts go weird on my phone but stay as they should on my mac-Hmmmm, anyone ?
  11. Has Rylan released his album yet ?
  12. AQM You may have grown up in a Findus fueled food vacuum. But many people eat game because of its-very-much-aliveness prior to shooting, I work in the country half the time during the winter, seeing game birds everywhere. To eat them, knowing where and how they've lived is an absolute joy. It's up front, honest, visceral and very healthy.

  14. What didn't you like my one ?
  15. Maybe ask the guys at the carpet shop, or Hamptons International. I'm sure they're brimming with ripping anecdotes.
  16. The "Royal" brand needed a refresh. Names anybody? Prince Bradley-Joe Princess Tiffany-Louise Really, i've had a punt on both of them.
  17. I think they may be paying royalties to use the packaging/brand. Still stinks tho, so does Bono.
  18. I believe i'm suffering from a new condition, i-Finger ? I'm suffering (and it is suffering ) from an oversensitive index finger (you know the one you pick your nose with) I've jabbed and prodded my i-phone screen that much, that I can no longer use that finger tip. Is there a silicon accessory one available, like a strap-on dooh dah, but less clumsy. Help, I need help !
  19. Come on reeko, the thought of ted visiting you is motivation enough to write a post with your nose. http://flyingglory.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/old-man.jpg?w=490 "Only meee"

  21. Where can I see this "moon" thing Sounds great !
  22. Green Maybe tell us your ideal pub in the area ? I personally like the Gowlett, it's nicely rough around the edges but not dodgy. Maybe you prefer something a little more polished.
  23. 40's are most enjoyable. Jeeeeesus, being alive is great ! Mind you, never been dead for long enough to explore its niceties. *puts Leonard Cohen on*
  24. For sure *Bob* I wonder if St Bennison kneels on a LSL carpet tile, when fiddling with his pipes. And does Bennison generally do old boilers ? I mean, I know "whatshername" had him round, but maybe that's a one off service he gave her. She certainly seems happy. Edited for gramatical/spacing error.
