What's for dinner, Josephine?

[Sverige]

Oh, beef dripping; I never cook in anything else when I am cooking English food.  Except pancakes -- I cook those in lard.

Reassuringly un-PC. Like it Phil

[Peripatetic Phil]

I am afraid my diet would drive most nutritionists to drink.  Strong real coffee with two brown sugars and full-fat Jersey cream (two or more cups a day); 4% BF milk; cook in dripping and lard; fry chips, not oven bake; eat white bread; add salt to everything; etc.  But I'm still alive (I think).

Unlike the spuds, Phil.....here's what to aim for

Aunt Bessie's -- I'd know that photograph anywhere

I am afraid my lifestyle is enough to drive a nutritionist to drink.  Strong real coffee with two brown sugars and full-fat Jersey cream (two or more cups a day); 4% BF milk; cook in dripping and lard; fry chips, not oven bake; eat white bread; add salt to everything; etc.  But I'm still alive (I think).

You're not alive Phil you're just well preserved by all that salt and fat and sugar.   ;D

Looking good Phil. But why would you want to ruin good food by dredging it in Knorr powder? Salt isn't an exotic herb you know..

[Peripatetic Phil]

A little Knorr oriental chicken stock powder sprinkled onto par-boiled potatoes before roasting can lift them to a whole new level, in my (humble) opinion ... and desert (which I've just eaten, after stuffing the dish washer) was ice-cold Victoria plum compote :

Maybe.  I forgot to add "all soft drinks (e.g., Mr Waitrose's Cloudy Lemonade) sweetened with real sugar, not ghastly synthetic sweeteners ...".

Had a little play with my My Vindaloo last night.
I used 3 dried superhots (half of each) instead of normal dried chillies
In place of chilli paste I used LC's habanero chilli powder with garlic
And in place of the vinegar I used tamarind.

Worked a treat proper lip burning heaven, tasty as, and moreish as hell.
The heat was a slow building one but once peaked was amazingly hot, but never burnt too much because of the slow build up you adjusted to the heat as you ate.
Id give it a 9.5/10

Quality gear!
