The " Honey I'm home and I'm bloody starving , what's for dinner " Thread.

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'.

DW i was never commenting on your right to disagree with recipes. far from it. What I am saying is there is a big difference between that sounds like shit to me, and i tried it and it's shit.

But i go back to my poor fingerprint comparison, what is it they say....one man's meat , is another man's poison.

I just think before anyone can say it is shit, and you are mad for liking it, they need to have tasted it.

There are two dishes here in the village that they all now make fun of me for not liking but i tried them both, and the one i hate most i tried seven times, because everyone kept insisting only they knew how to cook it. I tried them all and it still tasted like they got it out of the sick bag i was trying to put it in.

However the first time i was sat in front of a tray of live sea urchins (you know the spiky fuckers that stick in your feet in the sea) which although cut in half were still moving I thought fuck this for a game of soldiers.

However with a splash of lemon juice and a cypro they are the perfect mezze.

While making a film in Saudi i was presented with a plate of sheep eyeballs, and not siiting to far away from Feisel (the fucker kept looking at me) i tried the first and made the mistake of biting into it, UGGGHHHHHHH it was just full of snot. so when he looked again and i was advised not to offend him i swallowed the second one whole, the rest very subtley ended up in a basket hoop shaped flower pot not far from my seat.

Feisel or no Feisel, the monkey's brains were passed on , fuck that! they just looked like diaohorrea in a bucket.

I remember when I was at Uni and waiting for some money and stuck a few things in a pan and tried it. Resulting in producing an inedible mess which was binned and I dined on toast instead. If I had stuck with convention there would have been a couple of meals there.

I have refused some weird shit when I lived in the Middle East without offending pav. They were obviously taking the piss. However marinated blended raw liver is an excallent dip.

At least it isn't Marmalade and Mustard

Thai king prawn green curry with spiced Jasmine Pilaf.

A success and plates licked clean

The lamb passanda was absolutely lovely. And the better half enjoyed it more than I did!

Tonight I shall be attempting a slimming world Beef and Guinness pie. Mash top rather than a pastry crust but should still hopefully be rather nice.

Going to Zero Degrees for food (probably a pizza) and some beers tonight.

Looks cool, Jolemai. Let us know how the beers are.

 

[Jolemai]

Will do. They are usually pretty good but I haven't been there in over a year...

 

[Nando]

Not a big fan of their beer in Bristol to be honest!

 

[Jolemai]

Had the Gorgonzola and mushroom gnocchi starter, followed by the sea food pizza. Very satisfying.

Looks cool, Jolemai. Let us know how the beers are.

Had a pint if the wheat beer and sample the black lager. The former reminded me of a sweeter hoegaarden, the latter was fizzy and hoppy.

It's never anything amazing but I'm very happy with it.

An absolutely stunning lunch at the Bella Rosa which is situated in St Helier's fish market. Spiced gambas to start and grilled half sea bass for mains washed down with a bottle of Peroni. £21.40!!!!!!!

Lamb kofta curry tomorrow - just made the kofta mix - it smells lush combining all those spices. Got to wait for 24 hours to taste it though!
