We should do a Wolves Forum recipe book...I'm sure it'd go down well (unlike most of the recipes).

the bacon must be hot, must have loads of mayo

Which is basically bacon + salad cream.

Coke and peanuts - WTF? Why? Both are perfectly fine on their own

I guess because I'm having them at the same time anyway. Packet of peanuts, which makes you very thirsty, and a glass of coke on the go at the same time. I just happened to take a drink while I was crunching away.

It's no different to people who take a bite of their sandwich and then mid-chew they take a swig of their cup of tea. Which I have occasionally done and it's fine.

It's really, really not. A lack of open mindedness would be refusing to try say, Thai food, just on principle or for some weird convoluted reason. Looking at a combination and refusing to countenance it as it quite bloody obviously doesn't go...is common sense. I don't have the time or energy to try a million appalling weird combinations in the hope that a tiny fraction might somehow come off, not when there's a world of perfectly palatable food out there.

If you like cooking DW, you will very often (given the ingredients available) try something from left field. The word is try, if you just think about it, and think no, before you even take one ingredient in hand, then sorry you will always be a conservative foodie and miss out on a whole host of great taste.

Type as loud as you like, but if you've never tried it, you have no idea (apart from your imagination) what it really tastes like, and thus, you don't really have a viable opinion.

It's not that though, is it. Say I go and buy an eight rasher pack of bacon. Do I think a) Magic, that's four bacon sandwiches this week or b) I know what I'll do with this, experiment wildly, wang all kinds of crazy stuff around and see how it goes. Pretty much everyone is going to go for option A.

I'll try stuff that makes sense. Stuff that is completely off the wall, I can't go wasting money on making sure it doesn't work.

 

[The Bear]

Given that a BLT is very common and well liked, putting a couple of slices of cucumber on bacon instead of tomato is hardly a crazy or off the wall combination.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

But cucumber is nothing like tomato, and salad cream is nothing like mayonnaise.

Try marketing that sandwich to restaurants, I'm pretty confident in the response you'll get. Cold bacon, cucumber and salad cream FFS. Yum.

Get out! It's nothing even close!

Salad Cream has a horrible texture, and a weird vinegary taste that you don't get with Mayo

It's more likely to come back up badly...

assuming you A) know what to do with them, and B) dare to do it.

But what i am saying is it only makes sense if when you put it in your own mouth you like what you taste, what someone else things is so totally irrelevant. I would guess food tastes are like fingerprints, everyone 's are unique.

Don't fancy it, because althouigh i have never tried it, it sounds shit in my head, is a lot different from tried it, actually had it in my mouth for the taste buds to go at it, and reached for the sick bag.

If you are only cooking it to prove it doesn't work, leave it in the tin.

The sharpness is from mustard not vinegar. I don't like mayo, it tastes like there's lots of fat in it and it's too thick and stodgy for me.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Some of the recepies on here, in fact most of them, are brilliant, and so diverse it's almost culinary magic. Let's do the cookbook, especially the coming home from the pub chapter.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Given the choice , I'm a sald cream man, preferably Heinz, but when it comes to mayo it has to be Hellmans, most of the initations are just shit with olive oil in it.

I don't judge anyone, I'm not sure I've ever said I do. But if someone comes up with what I consider to be lunatic ideas then they're up for discussion, surely. Just as if I said we should play Afobe at left back, I couldn't defend it by saying 'well that's my opinion, everyone has one'.
