    Well I'm not selling them and I'm not in the jurisdiction of the EU so I'll call them whatever I like. They were homemade from homegrown potatoes, so what am I supposed to call them? The fish did not come from a store either.

    Was the fish battered?
  • edited April 2011
    Yes? Is that somehow important? I'm not sure what they used for it though. I was rather fond of the result when they used pancake mix.

    Did you wear a monocle while preparing them? Did the fish have a British accent? Did you offhandedly refer to actual chips as "crisps" while eating them? All of these are also legally required for the "fish and chips" title.

    Nah, you just need the right cards.

    Munchkin Booty is the best kind of Munchkin.

    Single serve apple crisps. Our house smelled like fish. This should help.

    I had so much crap for dinner. Holiday dinner, after all...

    Potato-Leek soup. I made it myself. It looks like slop

    Vienna makes a divine Leek and Tatty soup. She adds grilled bacon for extra flavour.

    If you haven't married her yet, Bruce, you should.

    I think my Oma puts cut up sausages in the potato-leek soup. For sure in the pea soup. Mmmmm.

    Personally, with my pea soup, as I'm boiling the dried peas, I add a gammon joint, which is then removed pre-blending, cut up and re-added post-blending.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, that is how you enter flavour country.

    Wait, you guys eat pea soup too? I've never actually met anyone (sans self) who actually liked the stuff!
  • edited April 2011
    Who doesn't like pea and/or leak and potato soup?

    I don't eat it.

    I made mayonnaise by hand.

    Protip for mayonnaise making which I'll give you guys for free: For the love of fuck, use an electric whisk or food processor or anything other than a goddamn fork to mix it. The effort required is incredible. This took me an hour of mixing to make and I was cramped up pretty bad about twenty minutes in.

    Yea, I know how you feel. Whenever I spent too much time "making mayonnaise" my hand starts cramping up.

    I made sloppy joes for dinner yesterday, for the first time in my life.

    Fuck you guys for hoarding such deliciousness.
  • edited October 2011
    Well we would have shared, but you probably would have Britished it up calling it Two-thirty Jarvises or something.
  • edited October 2011
    I'm rarely a big fan of sloppy joes but that's largely related to me not being particularly fond of beef, especially in ground up form.

    Looks delicious :) I haven't had sloppy joes in a while!
  • edited November 2011
    I'm not a fan, but they can be good.

    So, today I had a meal at a Michelin Starred restaurant with the boss. I was way out of my depth as it had stuff on the menu like hisby cabbage (I didn't know there was cabbage other than red and white).

    In the end I had Quail and Foie Gras for a starter and a rabbit pie for main with a raspberry souffle pudding.

    I had these simply because I have never had any of the meats in question and wanted to try them all. Foie Gras was delicious but I felt horribly guilty about eating it.
  • edited August 2013
    I had to look up Foie Gras to see why you'd feel guilty about eating it. I did and now I see.

    A restaurant like that would remind me of some bad nightmares. Too high class for me.
  • edited August 2013
    I'm totally afraid to try Foie Gras. My Father loves it and pushes it on me all the time but I can't deal with how I'd feel or how it looks. I bet it tastes great though.
  • edited August 2013
    I'm a fan of neither flavor, texture, nor ethics of foie gras.

    Hey Bruce, what's the recipe that you used for your sloppy joes? I've been thinking about making them for a while.

    Been making a lot of soups recently, always good for the rainy season.

    I'm liking where my minestrone is at these days. I use chorizo, bacon, carrot, onion, celery and broccoli stalk with some stock (chicken or vegetable). Then throw in a can of tomatoes and season with pepper and smoked paprika. Throw in a handful of soup pasta at the end for maximum fillability. Good stuff.
  • edited August 2013
    Bolognese sauce in a jar mixed with fried minced beef and onions. Yep.

    Also, soup is great, I'm also fond of making a quiche now and then,

    I made cheesecakes! They aren't terrible!
