Kangeroo,kimchi and asparagus for dinner at work tonight

[G Richards]

That’s kangaroo meat? Didn’t know they ate that - repped. What does it taste like?

 

(I’ll resist a joke about it putting a spring in your step, etc.)

[Lee909]

Tastes similar to venison.

[TheHowieLama]

Its got a kick to it

[Trumo]

Yer ma (supial).

[General Dryness]

What's that Skippy? You need more salt?

[Jim Lahey]

Looking online can't see that they do them anymore.

It really was. Every aspect was perfectly cooked and with the less refined waffle fries it was up there with the best means I've ever eaten.

Average then?

[Fowler1972]

I’m taking the gardener to a Greek restaurant tonight. I’ve perused the menu and I can’t see further than the Lamb Kleftico. Am I being short sighted?

[Rico1304]

Rene Redzepi and his wife on BBC now. What a nice bloke, went on a foodie tour of the world so took his family, and everyone who worked for him and their families. Has 2 chefs at the restaurant who cook solely for the staff as when he was a young chef the main meal of the day was the free meal he was entitied to. Contrast that to that cunt Ramsey.

I’ve been trying and failing miserably to try and recreate my Nans onion salt.

 

For a recipe so basic there must have been something else she added.

 

Does anyone make their own? Add any ‘secret’ ingredients?

Onion gravy,made correctly,is gorgeous. Gravy flavoured with Chili Powder is also ace.

[PestiRed]

Finally mastered quinoa salad and decided I like cold rather than warm. Just made one with red cabbage, edamame, carrot, spring onion and coriander. Topped off with ginger-sesame dressing. It was very good and very easy. Recommend the dressing, gives a lovely Asian flavour to salad

BLT with avocado and halloumi.

 

 

[Tony Moanero]

BLT (bacon straight from the pan, fresh lettuce and tomato) is boss. I have avocado on the side, not in the butty. Halloumi gets left in the supermarket.

[Karl_b]

Not sure there, Lifey. I love a BLT, I love avocadoes and I love halloumi, but all together seems too much. I'd lose the halloumi in this instance.

[Remmie]

Halloumi is life. Throw it away at your absolute PERIL

[General Dryness]

Remmie knows.

[Karl_b]

I'm not throwing it away, I don't want it on a BLT. I need about a gallon of water to cope with the saltiness.

[Paulie Dangerously]

I love halloumi but I think putting it on the same sandwich as salty bacon is an error.

 

A halloumi, lettuce and sweet chilli chutney however...

[Remmie]

I can't think of any situation where removing Halloumi makes things better.

 

Sick individuals.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Made a linguine carbonara last night for Lady D and I.  I'd never made a "traditional" one with the egg yolks before, it was fantastic.  She's on the weight watchers so we had to use ham and some left over chicken in place of pancetta but the result really was delicious. 

[Anubis]

Like a BLT, but not the avocado or halloumi.

[VladimirIlyich]

I can't eat anything with bacon on a butty other than some smeared English or Dijon Mustard.

[Paulie Dangerously]

 

As a pro-beaner even I am upset by this
