Everyone loves food. So what are you eating today?

As some of you know I've been doing this overnight thing for Wal-mart. It's not something I am used to at all. One perk though is that Wal-Mart gives me a 14$ per diem for meals. It goes pretty far at the 3 places open at 2 am in Keaney,NE(Mcdonalds,Perkins,and Jimmy Johns)  I've really taken a liking to Jimmy John's because  for about 13.50 I can get two of these :


A cookie, chips, and a drink. It's awesome. 

So yea, what are you eating today?

The last time I went to visit the guys at Jack/Knife Outfitters (SOMA, San Francisco) we went next door for lunch at the Little Skillet. Damn, they make the most juicy and tasty fried chicken sandwiches. To top it off they have homemade pear lemonade, potato chips and cupcakes. Be ready to size up if you keep visiting them.

My daughter gave me a pizza stone for Christmas. I have a long way to go to match Napoli's finest but they are getting a bit better with each try. And, it sure makes the house smell good.

....Continued from the camping thread.

Story goes....It is claimed that the recipe was originally something of an accidental invention of the 1860s, the result of a misunderstanding between Mrs Graves, Mistress of the Inn, and her kitchen assistant. A noblemen visiting the White Horse Inn ordered a strawberry tart. Mrs Graves, asked an inexperienced kitchen assistant to make a strawberry tart. But the assistant, however, made a non sweet pastry.

The result was so successful with the guest that the recipe became recognised as the Bakewell Pudding. Mrs Wilson, wife of a Tallow Chandler who lived in the cottage now known as The Bakewell pudding Shop saw the possibility of making the puddings for sale and obtained the so-called recipe and commenced in a business of her own.

This claim is almost certainly spurious, as the pudding was by then already well-known, and its antecedents can be traced back to medieval times.

Home alone and thus with no small delight not resigned to low fat dinner, man attempts to make meatloaf.

Uninitiated, improvised and in total absence of a recipe.

This is not an instructional. This is man in kitchen.


Meat from the shop.



Biscuits from my cupboard.



Smash up biscuits. You can eat one or so if you can't wait.



...and season the stash.



Get some garlic.



About however much.



Unpack yer meat.



Loosely do something with it, whatever.



Season it. I'm just using some standard ready done steak seasoning.



Add some other stuff. I like sugar and I like mustard. These are probably a good idea.



Crumble it on.



Looks like this.



Sort of lump it together, don't want to squish it up too much.


Anyway dump it in the bowl with the other stuff.



...and 'incorporate'. Learnt that off the tele..



Have a forage see what else there is.

Make sure them eggs are free range. Be kind to chickens, it's all I ask.

Before you steal their unborn young 'uns.



Beat eggs.



Splosh in your sauce.

Us Brits sort of stick Worcester sauce on anything. I don't even like the stuff.

Dee-dars no doubt would use Hendersons. Wink



Mix it up!



Looks like brains but believe it or not it smells alright. Looks like brains though.

Roll it up.



Meanwhile... 

Lard. 

It's good for you and tastes nice.



Clever sod here heated his roasting dish. 

Not so sure that was so clever on balance.



Throw in your meat.



By shear hand eye co-ordination and manliness, it fits good.



Bung it in the oven and remember to take it out some point in the evening. Man get distracted by stuff.



Remembered to take it out which was surprising.



Root about for some sauces, anything red I suppose. We've usually always got bbq sauce.



Smother it up good. 



Throw it back in the oven.

No more pictures now, it's in the oven and I'm getting distracted.

I was given a box of beetroots at the weekend, i love a bit of beetroot but ive always used it as more of an accompaniment. A goats cheese beetroot salad hits the spot but i need more than a salad for an evening meal. Im going to pickle some at the weekend but in the meantime any suggestions for recipes where the beets are the main ingredient? I need to reduce my glut and possibly gut.

Blending is for making soup smoothies - a new invention for a very old recipe. Use good stock and don't blend for a better soup IMO.

I may be a bit late to this beetroot discussion, but...a surprisingly nice (at least to me) salad is lettuce, betroot, walnuts and Persian feta. Have been eating it quite a lot lately.


Posted By: Maynard Fried-San

These recipes are OK but a bit standard fayre. You should look for something a little different, off the beaten route.

Alternatively I would agree with pickle, pickle and thrice pickle, the only way to make beetroot remotely palatable.

Bootsen: the addition of beetroot is much better than the Australian take on making savoury stuff "Hawaiian" - that is, adding pineapple to hamburgers, pizza, and pretty much any other place it really doesn't belong.

Double O: nothing beats (!) a homemade tarte tatin but you can also just eat them raw in rice paper rolls etc.. Another option, wrap them in tin foil and roast them. When they are done, you can just pull the skin off, chop them up and you're ready to go.

Beet-burger is ok by me. My half Russian half Lithuanian brother-inlaw makes a trad Lithuanian beetroot salad (i don't know the name) eaten with every meal according to him and the salt content is simply insane it just makes it inedible to my palette but he insists on shoveling it in.

I think I may have exhausted my go-to beet recipes Double O. How many more little purple spheres do you have left? I might have to consult with some books to spice things up a bit. You could always add pineapple ... that's just off the top of my head ...

Now that delicious picture is just cruel after reading Maynard's post ... Hmmm, if the mozzarella is good, like a nice buffalo mozzarella, a caprese salad. If the mozzarella is ordinary, def don't make a salad. If these are your only ingredients, make pasta or gnocchi (ask you neighbour for some potatoes). Have an egg? Omelete. Have a phone? Pizza.

Been walking in Yorkshire Dales today, i know Yorkshire folk are deeply proud of their puddings but after a fantastic rabbit pie with (you guessed it) puddings abound i ordered apple crumble for dessert, it was served with a dollop of ice cream in, guess what?... another Yorkshire pudding? Not sure this delicacy exists outside the county?
It was a new one for me and being in Yorkshire i thought "Gerrit Etten"

Messrs Mayno et Black,

Got any recommendations for a good ruby in the smoke?
Preferably not Shoreditch, nor Brick Lane, it doesn't appeal (tourist touting shop keeps), zones 1 & 2 or even better if Sarf London.

I've only found takeaway quality so far (admittedly not put in much effort) but I have a bit of a palate so my expectations are quite high. Yes I could do trip advisor but that'd be too predictable.

Much obliged to you.

http://www.tayyabs.co.uk" rel="nofollow - Tayyabs in Fieldgate St, E1 - Whitechapel/Aldgate area, very relaxed and informal, BYOB too. Highly recommended.

Close by but very different is http://www.cafespice.co.uk/#!homepage/mainPage" rel="nofollow - Cafe Spice Namaste , Prescott Street, E1, kind of a modern, almost fusion Indian vibe but very good too. Has a nice Victorian Shepherd Neame pub next door - The Princess of Prussia.

Sorry- missed this post. Will second Tayabs. If you've not already been, make sure you try their lamb chops. I've only been there twice and both times it was rammed with a large queue.

Also equally good is Lahore off Lisson Grove in Marylebone. Much emptier but very very good food.

There's a great place near me in East Finchley/Muswell hill that I can highly recommend called Indian Rasoi but i suspect that's a bit too out of your way.

Mr Black, they were not too bad at all. Perhaps a bit over salted but pretty good. They met my customer expectation for crispness and soft fat with generally proper bite size attribute.

I do like it though when there is that one abnormally large piece in a bag, requiring a chomp in half, with a larger fat to crisp rind ratio. In this case, none were found.

Ranonranonarat, they are essentially pork rind - rather like the crackling from a piece of roast pork. However in this case they are made from the shank. Something of an English stereotype - in truth though not actually that commonly seen - but absolutely best eaten with a pint of beer.

Caveat - they can vary in quality!

I think the quality of scratchings has reduced in recent years- certainly the supermarket variety. The fat to skin ratio seems to have tipped in the favour of fat.

Country pubs always sell the best ones. When I visit my parents in law in Cornwall, I always try to make a little stop off at a place in Launceston which sells sheets of crackling very cheaply. pig skin heaven.

Tempted to get myself a sneaky bag at lunchtime.

I recall watching some food show* a while back and they visited a place making them. I've always eaten them but tried not to think too much about it, anyway as it turned out this place on the telly who I now cannot remember who it was at all, made it looked quite acceptable.

So carry on and indulge!

Ah. Thank you CSL. I looked it up. Makes sense to me. I am a big proper breakfast fan myself and I want to try it



Of course this is in stark contrast to the american style breakfast which is usually about a pound of scrambled eggs, 2 pounds of buttered potatoes (home fries), ketchup, hot sauce, coffee, followed by sitting on our couch, loosening our belts, and blaming it all on Obama. 

Actually both options appeal to me equally Tongue

Yup. Def worth a try, Spork. A simple boiled egg can be surprisingly good. Add some salt of course.

We British do have our version of the large breakfast, what they call 'The Full English' these days. Fried eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans, fried bread...other random things from the frying pan...tomatoes, mushrooms & (if you are a Northerner) the infamous Black Pudding. There's also a concoction of potatoes & cabbage called 'bubble & squeak'...

Yup. I am familiar with the full "English / Irish Breakfasts" and I am a fan (always loved the idea of the tomatoes and beans and never daring enough to go for the black pudding). I gotta stop with this talk though. Only another day until 2017 and im back on nothing but rabbit food for a few weeks at least!

Thanks spork, i think the cacti are a relic from my Tequila binging days, they remind me never to do it again.

CSL has summed it up perfectly, Try a sprinkling of salt on your buttered toast before cutting it into soldiers rather than continuously seasoning your egg.
White Pudding could be a variation on the theme if blood doesn't appeal but your chances of finding it in the States are slim.

Is black pudding solely a British thing? the Vietnamese joint we go to serves it but they call it 'blood curds' sounds even less appealing! the Szechuan joint across road serves honeycomb (which is tripe) quite an accurate description when you think about it.

Tarte Tatin is one of my favourites! served warm with a little vanilla ice cream, that looks as good or maybe even better than anything you can buy in the cake shop. Good job!

Cheers Neal - both the Duchess and I enjoy cooking and baking (she cooks for a living and I cook to keep us alive because after a day in a commercial kitchen the last thing you want to do is cook). The pie is easy really, I actually find baking easy, and you’re spot on with the (real) vanilla ice cream.

My brother is visiting this week, and a tarte tatin is coincidentally in the oven as he's a bit obsessed with them. Photo when it comes out.


Don’t want to be hearing excuses about it being eaten before photo ...
