Cutting edge, experimental cooking

[brum]

Dinner this evening, prepared by yours truly... and this is one you won't find in a recipe book. Take grilled lamb cut into tiny slithers mixed with steamed grated potato, Parmesan and carrot with butter. Served in corn tortilas dressed with mint sauce. Result? Disgusting!!

Come Dine With Me, anyone?

[Lord Sornoff]

Pot Noodle fajitas.

[brum]

Crikey. That's risky! I like it.

[Lord Sornoff]

Not "risky", Brum. Risque.

[Lord Sornoff]

Anyhow, it wasn't my creation. It was offered up by a young serving boy called 'Jason' my staff at Sornoff Castle hired without my knowledge. He's currently languishing in my dungeons awaiting his punishment. Which will be most wrathful, I assure you.

[brum]

I am just glad, then, that I am not a servant at Sornof. My days would surely have been numbered.

The wife of a friend of mine once cooked me roast duck with blackberry sauce, olive and goat's cheese salad on the side.

It wasn't nice.

A friend of yours Brum?!

[Lord Sornoff]

Your "days" would be long and hard. Your meals would be the luxury that is numbered. All one of them.

Possibly! Such is my ignorance of all things culinary, that dinner actually seems quite nice!

Brum its just a bit too fussy, keep it simple - ditch the corn tortillas and parmesan and you'd have been fine ;-)

[kpc]

So that would be lamb, potato and carrot with mint sauce then.

[Lord Sornoff]

Plebian fare exposed, eh kpc, old scout.

[kpc]

Marsh lamb, heritage potatoes, chantenay carrots and sauce made from three different varieties of mint. Plebian?

[Lord Sornoff]

Middle class, at best.

Brum, experiment by going up to the marshes and hunting yourself some wolf. i hear it's tasty.

[brum]

Oh, but I heard wolf is so last year..! Thanks for the tips all. And I agree Katie, the Parmesan should never have gone in there. Kpc makes the dish sound quite posh too. Hmmm maybe it's worth another go, methinks...!

OMG. I never thought there could be a worse cook than me, but I have met my match.

Respect.

My Pakistani cousins were exasperated when I trumped their mushroom pakora with BANANA pakora.

Bizarrely they liked it and cook it now themselves !

[Jeremy]

Chilli pie. Chilli con carne topped with mash, smashed up nachos, and cheese - then baked until crispy. Completely filthy, but it hits the spot.

[Brendan]

I once made chip pasties. Hot chips with cheese and gravy encased in pastry and baked.

It were top.

[RosieH]

Oh sweet jesus, that sounds amazing. Wrong, so very very wrong, but amazing - all of my favourite things in one delicious package (now if only it had been served in a shoe...)

[Ladymuck]

When I first met hubby all those years ago, his favourite snack was...urrghhh (*shudders*)...

...a mug of Earl Grey tea (made with condensed milk!)...and to accompany this concoction, a digestive biscuit (the man was indeed discerning: had to be a genuine digestive as opposed to a supermarket brand e.g.) broken in half with a slice of cheddar cheese carefully sandwiched between the two biscuit halves. The biscuit was then dunked into the "tea". Apparently there was a skill attached to getting it spot on: one had to time dunking time to within split-second precision...one milli-second too long an immersion resulted in not only the biscuit collapsing into the liquid but in also causing that liquid to resemble (and presumably taste like) an oil slick. Too short an immersion and the biscuit was too crunchy and the cheese insufficiently warmed.

Tea anyone?
