Davkaus Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I've been getting in to some non-Indian asian cuisine for a change. Typically when I cook, it's some form of indian curry, pasta, or something mexican (ok, texmex). I've had a couple of stabs at stir fry this week though, including a pad thai last night, I had no idea how easy and quick it'd be. I went a bit overboard on the chilli though, I was sweating while I ate it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Tomorrow, I may stop off at my local fish & frites deli and procure a tray of pomme frites, topped with thin shreds of spiced lamb, drizzled with chilli jus. Sometimes I bump into an old friend, who usually buys the special with all the sauces! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Carolina reaper chicken curry with rice and naan bread Man alive... just about recovered. Pure heat! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Lamprais. It's sort of like a Sri Lankan take on the Scottish Munchy Box concept It's a couple of curries and a selection of fish and meats on a bed of rice. The rice is fried then boiled in beef stock, it arrives more Paella than Basmati. A curried egg is added and the whole thing is wrapped together in a banana leaf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Went to Hickorys at Wall Heath last night. Can’t fault anything about it at all. Food was excellent as was the service. Not to mention a high quota of country music being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Just had a bowl of yoghurt mixed with passionfruit curd. The dog was incessantly, but also politely, pawing my leg for some. And now the floor has a drool pool. Worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrrrr Don't get me wrong, I'm not some sort of an anti-vegi or anti-vegan bumder, but I think avocado and all its Stasi varients taste like phlegm and the juice of a Mormons mother distilled with hate. It's a weird vegetable. I much prefer sticking a cauliflower in a soup and calling myself a German chiropodist. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
