mottaloo Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Had a German mixed doner kebab just now. Fries and chilli cheese bites too which were OK. The kebab was pretty decent to be fair and I was glad I had the curry sauce/mayo as it added a nice lil kick. I'd give it a solid 7/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 My wife is a great cook, as home cooks go, exceptional. She can turn her hand to anything and it always, almost always comes out really, really good. She has this one dish, seafood spaghetti, that put me off prawns for life. I said I dont really like prawns and that was it, assumed it was the prawn in it. Last night she did seafood spaghetti, with the seafood for her and my daughter, and a chicken version for me. Its **** rank, absolutely awful and it wasn't the seafood that was making it rank. I still have the taste in my mouth. She used to bill it as a puttanesca and that was the only dish of hers I had the balls to say I didnt like, she has basically changed the name and added chicken. I might tell her to banish this dish at a point where she is in good spirits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be an ingredient in it you don’t like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted June 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2023 Do you not like any of tomatoes, olive oil, olives, anchovies, chili peppers, capers, or garlic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like all of them, I think its the combination of olives and capers, I like them both in isolation but those are the flavours that are hitting harder than gravy on fish.

fightoffyour Posted June 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2023 It's really hard to overcook a poached egg. Once the white is cooked you're good to go. Just messier and creates more work than a fried egg, plus the risk of puddling water on whatever else you've cooked. Otherwise they are the pinnacle of eggery.

I do them in a pan of simmering water for exactly 4 minutes. On the mess thing, not really. I mean yes there can be a bit of stray cooked white left in the water, but there’s no oil. And having just cleaned a fatberg from the drain outside that’s a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've said I was assuming the fried egg is cooked in bacon fat or something already so it's not an extra pan. If not then yeah no difference.

sidcow Posted June 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Had friends round for a BBQ tonight. Mrs Sidcow had gone to a superb local butcher (best burgers I've ever bought) and bought some top quality steaks. Whilst cooking them I went round the table asking each how they liked all their steaks. When I got all the answers I informed them they will get their steaks as they are done Lionel Blair style Edited June 10, 2023 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
