Think I'm one of a handful of people that's never set foot in or ordered from Nandos. 

 

Bought the sauces but they are bang average to be honest. 

If you like chicken thighs I'd suggest giving it a try.

Visited a lot of chicken farms in my job, didn't eat that shit for years. Finally relented when the kids got older as it was making the shopping bill go up too much by always have to buy beef or lamb. Always buy the best chicken you can, those £2.99 birds you see in Aldi or Lidl are reared in places that you would not believe. 

 

And most of them ate their parents

Vegetarians bury some of their food alive.  Evil.

I don't mind them with the skin on but it isn't the only way to get crispy, flavoursome roasties. Par-boil, rough them up with salt and semolina, throw in to hot oil, high heat for 20 minutes then a lower temperature for 40 minutes or so. 

 

It's all a bit Nigella Lawson, but it works!

Or you could leave the skin on! With either method, I like to take them out 15 minutes before they are done and squish them slightly to increase crispy surface area

Proper chorizo

Tinned cherry tomatoes 

Pepper

Bit of mozzarella

Your garden?

[TheHowieLama]

Looks like it is coming together there.

What is it, a small mausoleum?

[Paulie Dangerously]

Not willing to let my quality holiday food go now I'm home, tonight we half salmon in anchovy and garlic butter and mint and lime taboulè.  Just also made a nice pissaladiere with the remaining anchovies too. 

[Anubis]

Looks more like an illegal Israeli settlement in the West Bank than a garden.

[Bjornebye]

When did you have Crouchie round? 

[easytoslip]

Goat curry rocks. 

[Lee909]

Cooked a bit to much. 

Next time I'll follow the korean/japanese method of cooking veg first plating it and reheating with the broth. But a vegan soda noodle raman style dish

 

 

[Anubis]

Marks & Spencer pork and chorizo meatballs in tomato and mozzarella sauce. On a sub or baguette with some of the sauce spooned over them.

 

Angelo Pappas would order three of them.

Toad in the hole for the guys at work today. 
 

 

[Paulie Dangerously]

I've had a smashing day today.  Down the marine with the kid and dog between 12.30 and 2.30 and then whipped up the same coriander chicken dish I had last week. Fantastic.

Man, I hope our Co-op sells them.

Having an impromptu picnic with the kids up on Epsom downs. These are very tasty. 

They look amazing. Middle class co-op shopping cunt

These are all also very pleasant if you are trying to stay off the booze. They are also a good barometer of whether you are being ripped off. They are 75p a can if you buy the coop multi pack compared to £2.50 a can on the concourse at Waterloo station. Thieving cunts. 

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, sugar tax has absolutely ruined San Pellegrino Limonata.

I absolutely love lemonade but thy are far too lemony for me. Their blood orange and orange cans are divine though.

Garlic, honey and lemon chicken.

 

Was lovely.

I saw that plate in an episode of The Likely Lads.

Just got the missus on to Two Greedy Italians. 
 

I’d forgotten how brilliant it is.
