If English cuisine did 'Brexit'

Treating myself for completing my Christmas shopping with the perfect beef and horseradish sandwich today

Plus five points for nice looking beef. Plus fifteen points for the nicest looking bread I’ve seen in a long time. Minus five for not wiping under the toaster.

 

A solid fifteen points.

The goddess Anna Jones is on Saturday kitchen this morning

Not foodie as such.

 

After my mum being dead for 13 years this year I got nostalgic over the Christmas period and just really fancied one of her cheese pies. So made one today and introduced the Boy to one of my staples growing up.

 

So had a go, looked good but didn’t have my Ma’s old tin, about 85% as tasty

 

I’m gonna work on it

 

[Bjornebye]

Looks lovely that

Looks lovely that

Bless my Ma, she had many many great qualities, a more hardworking and honest woman you could not meet, but with the exception of her cheese pie and roast potatoes she was a fucking terrible cook.

 

If she was alive she’d have already been peeling the veg and putting the pressure cooker for next Christmas dinner. I genuinely didn’t know veg was supposed to have crunch till I left home.

 

But cheese pie was the fucking business

Yer ma sounds boss, mate.

Yer ma sounds boss, mate.

She was a class act.

 

On a Sunday after lunch over a bit of Bully we’d have a tin of fruit cocktail and evap, followed by a pack of family circle.

 

She’d leave the Custard Creams and Wafers for me.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Yer ma sounds boss, mate.

Indeed she does. Having lost my own mum 3 years ago, food is one of the ways we keep connected with her.

[lifetime fan]

Recipe please!

Second - looks quite right.

And to think all the time I've wasted reading about making the GF great again.

 

When I could have been here reading, salivating over the (grate, again) cheese pie recipe of RJs.

 

Over and over and over again.

I used to love school dinners' cheese pie. I dont know why but I'd never thought of making it. I might now

Went here https://www.hotelduvin.com/locations/bristol/bistro/sunday-lunch/ for My birthday on Sunday.

 

Pricey but the food was great and I ended up in a food coma Sunday evening.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Seconded for cheese pie here

[neko]

made a very simple indian dish (don't want to call it a curry) with 100 cloves of garlic the other night.

 

it was a life altering event.

 

i don't have the recipe handy, but fry the garlic in a few teaspoons of rapeseed oil (we call canola)....tablespoon of mustard seeds as well. careful not to burn the garlic.

 

turn down the heat and add a teaspoon of coriander powder, 1/2 chilli powder and 1/4 tumeric (i substituted my homemade curry powder instead) and let simmer for 15 of your earth minutes. if the garlic looks dry, you can add a little water. cover the pan too.

 

at the end, add approx. 100ml of coconut milk and simmer for five more minutes. a little salt is okay as well.

 

eat with naan.....very mild garlicy goodness.

 

clears you right up.

 

edit: don't stir the garlic too much, as you don't want to break it up
