[mockney piers]

curiosity led me (unlike a cat) to this

I'm guessing The Emirates wins out because it's new and hence still clean?

I usually eat in the Centenary Club at White Hart Lane before a match. Tastes even better when someone else is paying.

Scouse pie >:D

Scouse pie?! Shepherd pie?!

Good Lord!

Most bizaree football food I've had was when watching Russia v Italy WC qualifyers ('97) at the Dynamo Stadium in Moscow. Minus 5c and you couldn't see the pitch for the snow, let alone your seats. A group of Russians in front of us started handing out sausage and bread and neat Vodka which they'd sneaked in by simply emptying into a plastic bag and then cutting the corner to pour. Crap game but great atmosphere.

I had a very very bizarre chicken curry pie at Bristol City a few years ago.... It made me feel very ill!

I love scousers for the fact they have to call everything scouse... Around this time of year, there will be firework parties, and people will be cooking up big pans of scouse, which is effectively exactly the same as any other pan of hot stew from anywhere in the world! Bloody nice though!

i like the idea of scouse pie,apparantly if you start choking on it you tell yourself "eeh dont panic,dont panic".;-)

[Michael Palaeologus]

Liver and onions tonight.

[Annasfield]

I was always lead to believe that Scouse stew is where the term Scouse/r came from.

The Scouse/R name did originate with the dish but the dish itself has a longer history. Lobscouse is / was a sailors dish. Alternate layers of potato and mutton cooked very slowly in stock over a long period. Originaly a Scandinavian dish (and still popular in Norway) it became a Liverpool dish when Liverpool was a great sea port.

Interesting stuff, cheers for that.

These days they just call any old stew scouse though.

Tonight - Steak, spinach, pepper and rocket salad, fruit and yoghurt. No booze. Nero

[Keef]

Can I have the booze you would have had?

[Nero]

Ha! It's virtual as it was never there in the first place as I never bought it. Piled on the pounds and ditching the booze is the best way to go. Empty calories, you know! Nero

[Keef]

I know, but fun all the same, it's one of life's biggest cruelties!

I've got some soul food. Pork ribs with bbq sauce and sweet potatoes.

Soul in a bowl! :))

Last night - Shugborough Hash. I can minced beef, one can tinned peas - heat together in a saucepan, add dried potato powder until very stiff. Sounds disgusting but is a comfort meal from childhood outward bound weekends.

Tonight I will be mostly roasting a chicken.

[Bellenden Belle]

Beef bourguignon - basically beef stew made with red wine - slow cooked for ten hours since this morning. When my key turns in the front door, the aroma will hit me - the best welcome home in the world!

A slow cooker recipe book was this year's best purchase for me. Is that a sign of old age?

[spadetownboy]

far from it bb i got my slow cooker 2 years ago and while it can be a pain in the back side doing the preparation once its in its in and thats it,6-7 hrs later, boil a few spuds and dinners ready.

[SeanMacGabhann]

now way Bellenden Belle - that's what i was going to make!

I shall instead be making it tomorrow now ( coz the butcher's isn't open on a Monday - bah!)

Tonight shall be some combo of chicken slow cooked in a painfully hot sauce and crisped up at the end

[Michael Palaeologus]

Yes, now that winter is drawing its time to dust down the slow-cooker again. Turns tough-as-old-boots beef steak and knotty old carrots into a dream meal.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Pasta and cheese. Three days before pay day. What else is v.v. cheap and doesn't consist of jacket potatoes and beans which I'm sick of?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Par boil potatoes

Then peel the, after cooling down

Stir fry with garlic, paprika, chilis, pepper, salt and green beans

delish....

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Yum - sounds good. Thanks
