Meath_Villan Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I dont really use it the teeth are to long on it for both meat and bread only cost me a few quid ....might give it to the wife as a Christmas present the one to the right of it is my day to day knife ....does just about everything ...its nicely sloped so it gives you a rocking chopping motion ....has nice teeth on the blade so I can carve meat or cut bread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother likes to think of himself as a chef and he has a full set of chef's knives (not actually his) and one of the knives is quite like that one. The blade is quite thick and the teeth are quite rounded and far apart which makes me think it's for meat but he says it's a bread knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 We call it the Waitrose Challenge. She goes down to Waitrose at the time when they mark down what they want to get rid of, buys random foodstuffs, comes back and says "There you go. Do something with that". Today she got mackerel, noodles, and a 10p bag of rocket. I already had a sweet potato, so we had Ottolenghi's mackerel with spicy sweet potato pickle and mint and paprika yogurt sauce, with, er, stir-fried noodles and rocket for dressing. The sweet potato is a bed for the mackerel: and this is the finished dish: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who will get the blame when the 'ECC' doesn't work and he ends up with just a crouton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he would suggest you should shove your baguette ou le soleil ne brille pas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he would suggest you should shove your baguette ou le soleil ne brille pas. I'm not one for french food, but I know fancy cuisine when I hear it, and this baguette ou le soleil ne brille pas sounds lovely. I'll have two, and some chips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hes right to be fair ....a "carving knife" was traditionally a a thinner chefs knife "chopping" but over time different knives with different blades/longer teeth etc have come about ....in the heat of battle if it feels good use it ...
