Not sure how I feel about that

Anchovies, garlic and rosemary go amazing with roast lamb I promise you.

They do indeed, but it might be better to make little incisions in the lamb and push little slices of the garlic, rosemary and anchovy into them. The flavour will permeate the meat subtly and they won't burn.*

 

* Before you lot say anything, I know who's doing the cooking!

A fried egg is incredible on a burger

Defintiely. The hole in the wall burger place (can't remember if that is what it was called), near the bombed out church, used to do a 2lb burger with fried egg on top. Just what was needed after kicking out time at the Blue Angel. Incredible indeed!

Anybody used Nakiri knives? Got any recommedations? Probably Lifey has.

I've cultivated a starter and made my own sourdough for the first time. Currently baking, updates to follow.

Never used them mate, I have global so can’t really comment on them. 
 

All I would say is if you’re spending serious money on knives go Japanese or German.

My 10 year old has taken a massive interest in cooking during lockdown. He's obsessed with making pasta from scratch at the moment, so today we made cheese and chorizo ravioli - his own recipe. I was expecting to taste it and nod politely but it was actually really fucking good! Presentation not a strong point though.

Cheers, mate. I've got Wusthof and Global, but for the Nakiri wanted a proper Japanese type. It's just a case of finding out which ones are actually made in Japan, rather than outsourced to a factory in China.

If you’ve spent that much money on knives mate you’ll know far more than me!

If @Cath is still knocking about she'll be able to point you in the right direction.

Its hard to get an idea of scale there, but they're each more like burrito size rather than traditional sausage roll size. One is a meal.

No, mate. It was near Zorbas, on the corner of Renshaw St and Leece St. It's probably a mobile phone shop now.

Now that’s what I’m talking about.

 

You could sell those. Top class.

Sausage rolls can be very deceiving. They can look great but taste like shit. You have to sample them before you can pass judgement.

Agreed. 
 

Being socially conscious gents you and I can test them. 

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Flights to Northern Ireland are probably not advisable in this lockdown (if ever, to be honest), and unfortunately the pastry was so perfectly flaky, they wouldn't survive a journey in a parcel.

 

But they were the nicest sausage roll I've ever eaten.

 

The sausage meat ingredients may divide opinion:

 

Steak mince

Stuffing

Onion

Carrot

Egg

Salt

Pepper

Milk
