Dodgyknees Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Tofurky sausages are amazing. Iceland No Bull stuff is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 'Tofurky' I don't know why, but it just sounds so hilariously awful, Like some reclaimed meat made from furry toes. It also reminds me of a mate of mine from way back. He had a beautiful Indian girlfriend called 'Neelam' and his younger brother always called her 'Toepork' to wind him up. Creased me every time.

Stevo985 Posted October 22, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted October 22, 2018 Was away with some mates on the weekend. When they were having their full english or bacon sandwiches yesterday I had pan fried halloumi on toast with field mushrooms and 2 poached eggs for breakfast. It was lovely. But I'm mainly posting it here in the hope that it triggers Bicks. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than pulled pork/chilli etc. I love halloumi cheese, I dig that rubbery texture and bitter taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have it more but I find you have to cut the slices quite thick to get it perfect and that means you can get through a block of it in no time. So for the sake of my heart I leave it as a treat. Battered halloumi and chips is a great alternative to fish and chips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only eat it when it's on a meal out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started using "Gousto". One of those services that delivers a box to you and it has a load of meals in there. Gives you the exact ingredients and the recipes to make it. Stupidly easy. It's way too expensive to use normally really, but we had some discount codes so it's costing peanuts at the moment. We mainly wanted the recipes so we could use them ourselves with normal shopping. Aaaaaaaanyway, one of the meals last week was homemade hummus (houmous, humus, hoummus... how the **** do you spell that?) with halloumi and salad in pittas. They were **** incredible. But yeah we got through a whole block of halloumi and it only made 4 pittas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually eat that, not for breakfast, more of a lunch in my book, might skip the toast at lunchtime though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 A grilled halloumi salad is bang tidy. One of my favourite cheeses to have in a meal. I'm spoilt for choice as far as cheeses go in this part of the world so you can have incredible meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 30, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2018 I went to Itihaas in Birmingham for a curry on Friday. Had a Soya Tikka Massala. It was incredible! I had to ask the waiter if he'd given me chicken as it looked so much like chicken. Definitely tasted different, but still incredibly good. I'll be going back for sure.

I would be willing to try that just for the difference. You don't realise sometimes how much the meat flavours the curry, I tend to order chicken by default a lot of the time but when I remember and mix it up with lamb sometimes it really changes the dish.
