sidcow Posted December 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2020 Onion salt is the absolute key to roast potatoes. Just had turkey/gammon and chips with gravy for lunch. Super stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other half said no, but I said yes, and as I was cooking I won. We had them this year, as we had rib of beef. If we'd have had turkey we wouldn't have. I was brought up on only having Yorkshire pud with beef, but living up North, I'm converted to the idea of having them with every roast. Only one I wouldn't is lamb, and that's because of the mint sauce. Edited December 26, 2020 by dAVe80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always deliberately make too many roasties, so I'll have some cold ones to snack on the following day. Definitely Mike. Had some today with some cold turkey (ie leftovers from yesterday, I haven't just stopped doing heroine), a truly amazing Melton Mowbray pork pie, English mustard, red onion chutney, and some Emmental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted December 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2020 I will almost never eat a pudding. If i've any room left I would far rather hoover up some more roasties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted December 29, 2020 Author Moderator Share Posted December 29, 2020 It’s been quite cold today so it seemed appropriate to carry out a calibration/ nostalgia visit (from the time before I was groomed by the pie eating folk round these parts). So I had this By the end I came to realise that gravy is better, but not by much 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 29, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 29, 2020 I feel you've been getting off lightly on the pickled onion. For me it's a completely unnecessary embellishment to a meal - I've got nothing against a pickled onion on its own at Christmas, but it's no more a part of fish and chips than half a pear. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I'm all for gravy and curry sauce on fish and chips, but not a pickled onion. Any acidity you need you get from the usual vinegar, and the crunchy texture would just be all wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a pickled egg? My Grandad would always bring one home from the chippy but other than when I was with him on chippy night as a kid I don't think I've eaten one since. But they are always there lurking on the back shelf at every chippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion, innit! It’s basically that nouvelle cuisine that’s all the rage*. (But without the tiny portions and with a gravy bonus). *we’re a micro-tad behind some places up here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Generally, around the country, do people get a bag to carry home their wrapped fried fish or is it the norm to have to kick it up the road? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I live in Yorkshire nowadays and around here it’s customary to have a team of whippets and ferrets to carry it home. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
