Re: What's Cooking?

We've got a good wok and a terrible hob that takes a long time to heat up. We do alright, but I reckon it's my fiance's technique that gets a good stir fry. Real Stir Fry is truly an art that I think you will only ever get at a restaurant.

Yep.  Only eat vegetarian nowadays, Prof, and that rarely.

I meant Bangladeshi, Woof.  Vegetable biryana at £5.50 a time.  Feeds three easily.  The lamb and certainly the chicken are to be avoided.  Unless, of course, the chicken's breast equals one of Margaret Nolan's.

Re: What's Cooking?

L.O.L. !

You're quite right. Overall we eat far less meat than we used to, more on health grounds than moral/ethical. It also lowers your shopping bills, dramatically.

When we do buy meat we tend to go for better quality stuff or organic.

Re: What's Cooking?

Thing I've noticed about eating non-meat meals (as opposed to becoming a vegetarian, like my wife - the first one was, too, co-incidentally - and emo daughter) is the lack of choice and imagination here as opposed to, say, Italy (or even France, to a degree).  You can have delicious vegetables and pasta in one, great cheeses and creamy vegetable soups in the other.  Eating out here in, say, a pub can be frankly exasperating:  "Oh, Stilton and broccoli bake again - wonderful!"  Good quality stuff or organic from the butcher is by far the best choice.  My elder daughter thinks nothing of driving miles to some farm shop or another (then bleats about her 'carbon footprint').  Two kids with a shedload of money to spend.

Just put one of those Flemish beef and beer stews in the oven.  Already smells delicious.

Re: What's Cooking?

Years ago, the Muslim guy who took my call asked me if I wanted something medium or hot.  I said "fairly hot".  The sweat ran off me as I ate.

Re: What's Cooking?

It's for the wife, George.  Friday I had steak, a fried egg and about two dozen hash browns.  Tomorrow, lamb cooked in Guinness.
