The Larder

[woofmarkthedog]

Oh not posh, just about quality classics that's all

Read into that what you will

And as......

Jeremy says ( & remember this is a wet behind the ears Mummies boy, who burns "cheese on toast" in his cardboard lined conversion flat,setting of the smoke alarm while stabbing his "mardy" hands with a "newbie pack" of IKEA kitchen knives )

>Woof, just admit that your cupboard is full of baked beans, "Mr Kipling" cakes, and festering leftover curry."and festering leftover curry" All this talk of "Black & Bristol" peppercorns, and "good" ketchup... what a load of rotYou should be on Come Dine With Me - you'd be the person who drives everyone mad and comes last<

And you'd win right, remember the contestants are all " plebs" just like you

If my senses get me square, it sounds like inverted snobbery , pray tell "Jez" exactly what is wrong with the items you outlined ?

Interesting though....

Pah! Any cooking is as you describe... Assembling component parts to create a 'dish'... Pot noodle comes ready prepared and so doesn't count. I make enchiladas from basic ingredients and I even use the oven. That is cooking in my book.

Giggirl... Let me treat you to my enchiladas. Don't ask me to do anything else, mind. My Kitchen skills are limited. X

This got me thinking - is there a word for the opposite of inverse/inverted?

[woofmarkthedog]

Yes

It's in my larder.....somewhere, buried under the puy lentils

A string of French onions and a string of shallots from the French onion seller.

Pearled spelt from Sharpham Park. Makes delicious risottos and is low GI.

Woof you promised after the last visit not to divulge the contents of my boudoir. I'm hurt. You'd better make it up to me or your weekly sessions will be over. For good.

Giggirl. My enchiladas are very healthy. Low fat too. Promise.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Dried potato powder, tins of mixed veg, tins of minced beef in gravy - ingredients for Shugborough Hash. In case, well, if the balloon were ever to go up.

A fine list

May we have " Preferred suppliers " to assist us

I feel together we are building "The Ark"

Some rice.

Several cookbooks, PHD thesis and international treaties dedicated to cooking same.

Catering sized bag of crisps with only Cheeze and Onion flavour bags left in it.

[Applespider]

I've tried the loaves from Lucas but found them good but not as good as I was expecting given the price.

Now I bake my own sourdough bread every other weekend - so you can add a good organic bread flour to my kitchen staples and my sourdough starter. Once you have the starter going, it's surprisingly easy to make the actual bread and maintain the starter between uses.

Orange-infused olive oil for salads also sits there although it's darned hard to find!

Wanna swap with mine, which has only salt and vinegar flavour?

[charliecharlie]

pomegranate molasses (add a bit to salad dressings, sauces, etc... lovely sweet sharpness that brings out the flavour in almost anything

ditto... the very thick almost treacly balsamic I get from EDD (cost a fortune - ?7.50 for 100mm) but it goes a really long way as it is so condensed and packed with flavour

it's got "la vechia dispensia, il balsamico ricco" on the lable

toasted sesame oil... (great on any green veg with a squeeze of lime juice and some taosted sesame seedsj

fresh limes... always useful http://imagecache5.art.com/p/MED/26/2634/IMCMD00Z/jana-liebenstein-fresh-limes.jpg

japanese pickled ginger (addictive)

[woofmarkthedog]

Ohhh

Share the sourdough starter ect tips & recipes

(Blimey , listen to me......)

Lahhhh

W**F

[Applespider]

You're very welcome to some sourdough starter - and my handy instruction sheet. It's got a white sourdough and a sourdough pizza recipe on there too - complete with all the tips that I learned the hard way! You can make all sorts with it - I did sourdough pancakes a few weekends ago for breakfast.

Seriously, if you want some, let me know - I'm around for at least part of most weekends so could just put some of my extra in a pot for you. Not having a real larder, I keep mine in the fridge between bakings and then feed it on the Friday night for us on the Saturday morning so weekends are a good time to pick some up.
