What's for dinner? (Again)

[Marvin]

No need, nonceface, quorn is better.

This is the most wrong thing you have ever said.

[Jemble Fred]

Well I was going to go with something stronger than 'nonceface', but I just wasn't in the mood to escalate the exchange of abuse, it's a busy day.

If only tofu was like eggs! It's too weak and spongy in my experience, a very different consistency. Plus there's just that tofu *taste*...

Odd, I'd always describe fried tofu as being not terribly distinguishable from an egg white heavy omelette. Quorn tastes a bit marmitey to my palate and I don't much like the texture.

Um, also some swearing.

[Jemble Fred]

I don't much like the texture.

Well it's all in the mouth of the beholder maybe, but I roasted a dozen quorn fillets yesterday and there's absolutely no way of distinguishing them from chicken, texture-wise. In looks and feel, they are identical.

Piss ankles.

If you've been eating some really fucking shit chicken perhaps. Different bits of a chicken don't even have the same texture as each other. The only thing that quorn approximates is those horrible reconstituted, water-filled chicken 'fillets' made from the worst battery hens.

I mean sometimes that's actually what you want to eat, when you crave something cheap and nasty like chicken nuggets or whatever, quorn would fit the bill just fine, but otherwise.

Balls, chicken Balls. Last night I took the bones out of a chicken, flattened it with a rolling pin and cut it into 4 pieces, then floured, egged, breadcrumbed and then deep fried it, sliced up and ate it with spicy noodle and prawn soup.  nomnomnom

[Toad in the Hole]

I think we're talking about Sarsons on Mother's Pride here though.

I used to do the same when I was a kid, salt pepper and vinegar on bread.

I'd like to talk about my latest quorn discovery but mention of the heavenly fungal substance just leads to holy war on this forum...

Definitely talking about the malt vinegar and white sliced.  Jamie Oliver only invented balsamic vinegar in about 2000, didn't he?

I remember a mate convincing another mate that the name 'Gary Lineker'was rhyming slang for balsamic vinegar. It doesn't even rhyme!

The firmer tofu is awesome in a proper Laksa

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laksa

because its bubbly porous nature soaks up the delicious coconutty spicey broth and dispenses it in your mouth in a big splurgey spongey squish - with the bonus that the flavour of the tofu is fundamentally, transformatively altered by the sauce and rendered quite delicious, and the texture is actually quite appropriate, like a firm omelette. And then you have a cockle or two, slurp up some noodles, and drink the rest of the soup. It's like three meals in one and it's great and it's not the same without tofu. So there.

bubbly porous squishy soup splosh stuff

That's what I'm talking about, brother. Have you got a good recipe? I made something similar last week with the leftover 'soup' from a Sichuan 'shui zhu yu' (water boiled fish):



I can only drink oil once a week, though, no matter how tasty it is.

[Ronnie the Raincoat]

I have a real craving for a veggie burger.  Not a McDonalds type one, but those ones filled with peas and potatoes and shit.  Are they called vegetable burgers or do they have a fancier/wankier name?

What the fuck is the deal with politician's ordering pizza? I have heard this a dozen times in last few days like it is some working-class solidarity gesture. Fucking ponces.

Gwacamole?

What ever floats your boat you fucking deviant.

BUMP! I know I shouldn't, but there's no harm really.

I am continuing my trend of cooking something proper every week. I just cooked these fuckers:



Steak and ale pies. Bloody delicious. Rump steak which I got cheap from the butcher at the end of yesterday and Brains Dark ale. Cooked the filling last night and left it to settle in the fridge overnight to mingle together. Mmmmm. What did you have?

[TIAL]

Just about to make some Toad In The Hole, but wondering whether to do it all in one big tin or bite sized individual puds with sausage halves in each one.

I just ruined a perfectly good silk tie by drooling all over it you bastard. Fortunately my girlfriend makes a totally wicked steak and Guinness pie; now I just have to convince her that summer is the ideal time of year for her to cook one.

Oh, it's always time for pies. I can't see any particular need to wait for winter.

Venison stew, with juniper berries and rosemary.

And it's still got two hours on the stove before it'll be ready :-(
