Tegis Posted December 3, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 3, 2023 Either Bison is the best meat ever or Teds Montana grill in Charlotte does an exceptional filet of it. Up there with the best piece of meat I've ever had 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Wife got me some flying goose sauces for Christmas That's the one that I asked for which started it all, scotch flavour presented by RZA... It's nothing special, if you didn't know what it was then you wouldn't know what it was This one is the opposite, loads of tikka flavour, its beautiful, if you like your hot sauces or even just Indian sauces then I can't recommend it enough Really disappointing, had tamarind duck a few times from my local Vietnamese and love it, this is my first tamarind table sauce and it's got barely any flavour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted January 31 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31 (edited) The Mrs started ordering those gusto boxes at the start of January. Got to say, I’m quite impressed as it takes the thought out of sourcing a meal each day a lot of quality, concoctions and recipes. No idea how it compares to actually sourcing the same at the supermarket price wise but seems a much easier way to go about things and healthier.

Only for a few days a week and the thought was to wean us off of having takeaways when it was really just we couldn't be arsed with deciding what to have and make it. Having a few meals a week that are ready in 20-30mins and pretty easy to do meant we'd be eating before we'd have decided on where and what and phoned the order in. More expensive than bulk buying at a supermarket but cheaper than the curry house etc. and loads healthier. The other unintended upside was making a few dishes using techniques or recipes not in my repetoir so it was stealth learning stuff too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each meal = one more recipe card to replicate in future if required, we have started using an old file a fax to store them. Some of the dishes are really top quality and very tasty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Ocasionally the father in law drops bits of food off at ours. Stuff he doesn't really want but bought on a whim or something he's changed his mind about. He's quite faddy with his eating, what he fancied one week he might not fancy the next week, and so occasionally we end up with his 'gifts'. This is how I ended up with something called Brooklea SKYR yoghurt in my fridge. A passion fruit flavoured one and a strawberry flavoured one. We tried them yesterday. It had the consistency of foamy plastic and a taste which I could only try and describe as what I imagine every carcinogenic artificial sweetener mixed up together must taste like. Utter rancid shite. 2 spoons and in the bin. File under 'legally food' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good pea and ham soup would be another. If I'm drunk I might crave one of the weird sausage and mash potato kebabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Lamb koftas, yogurt, pitta, couscous at Cafe Piano in Worcester. Really good food, and a spectacularly rare event, more food than I could finish. If I had one tiny criticism, the piano was really loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
