What the f uck are you having for Dinner thread..

Get them pics up next time you got the Pot on

 

Pretty straightforward, tomatoes, onions (lots) carrot, red pepper. Coriander, garam masala, cumin and a small amount of chilli powder. I cook all veg long and slow, skimming off the crap about three or four times, add spices when gravy has thickened, I then blend it all. Keep back what I need, freeze the rest.

 

Will do mate no probs. Probably sometime next week.

 

Started off with a similar deal but have altered it a lot to suit my taste. It’s something that’s always evolving. Atm I start with 5kilos of onions, half a cabbage, two small potatoes, half a red pepper, one carrot, half a small Thai pumpkin, a bunch of fresh coriander leaf roots n all, ginger garlic paste, tin of tomatoes 5 dried red chilli’s, cinnamon stick, star anise, curry powder, half a small tin of carnation milk, Tumeric, salt, black peppercorns.

 

Yeah, sometimes it's a case of experimenting. Sometimes I'll use curry leaf, sometimes bay. Never used star anise, but I'll be trying that, as that flavour should be an excellent accompaniment in the gravy.

 

Not a great photo and I didn't cook it but, kudos to my ball and chain as this was delicious.

Beef in Guinness pie, with green stuff.

 

Love green beans, plus cover any food with pastry and I am sold.

But whay do you have a dog bead blanket on your lap?

 

My daughter's blankey. I moved it before I sat down.

There were mini roast new spuds too, could easily have eaten it again. The Cotes Du Rhone didn't last long either!

 

Made a beef and guiness one once, pie day at work. You put grated cheddar under crust before baking - copied a friends recipe.


Sounds bonkers, but it works.

'Like' also for wine choice

 

Believe it or not mate, €2.89 in a Biarritz Lidl in summer! Bought three boxes, it's very good.

You got to drink it though, doesn't taste that good following evening or if you leave it a day or so.

 

Was expecting it to be a blue cheese, not cheddar.

 

Looks good, lovely comfort food for this time of year. I'm the same as PJS sold on the pastry.

 

great colour to it too, love a pie.

 

sounds bonkers. But it is amazing.

 

Everything is just so 70's about it.

The plate, the table, the wine...superbly glazed pastry.

10/10 perfection

 

Was asparagus a thing in the 70's?

Anyway, you're right in that it was almost perfect but I'd never give her a 10 so I'd say it was 8/10.

Counterpoint tonight, am staying away and, being in firebreak land, there are no pubs to go and have some decent food at.

Options for takeaway are; KFC, Burger King, McShit, Pizza Hut and Nando's. All five minutes away.

Leaning towards Nandos.

 

Surely Nandos is the clear winner here?

 

You can get an actual meal that fills you up for more than an hour in Nando’s so I’d go with them.

 

Can't stand Nandos.
