Kitchen roll or napkins, I'm a kitchen roll guy and its bloody expensive I can tell ya, I'm a messy S.O.B when cookin and when it's something that's a messy eat I'm really struggling what experience advice do the gang have? Kitchen roll so you can throw it away after. Napkins have to be washed and it’s really not worth it just for the sake of wiping a bit of sauce off your chops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every bite has to contain some of each element, or what's the point? And before someone invokes 'worst first, best last', it doesn't apply here. All parts are good, and the bar is built that way for a reason. I deconstruct parts of it. So I have some bites of each individual element and some bites of everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchen roll for me but I do have a packet of paper napkins in reserve In an emergency I'll just use a tea towel to wipe the curry sauce off my mush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely. Batternberg cake - have to eat the marzipan first, then separate the squares into their colours of yellow and pink. Yellow to be eaten first and then pink last. Couldn't eat it any other way! Totally normal right? I've done a lot if experimentation with the good old twix.... Maddest ever was to eat bottom ends and sides then lay the toffee choc bit length ways on top of a twirl, I liked it 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do more with them, involve them in more recipes and do them different ways, they are more stiff with theirs, Munich white sausage is eaten a certain way, nuremberger is used for this, bratwurst for this etc If you want a sausage sandwich then you are almost certainly getting a fried pork frankische bratwurst in a small crusty roll, don't think I've ever seen a sausage served in bread here (sliced white isn't really a thing - they call it toast bread and don't make sandwiches with it they just toast it) that all said I think slightly and only slightly and probably biased cos I live here...

Curry wurst mit pommes is better than bangers and mash... Thanks, I was probably only just thinking of the frankfurter or whatever is usually considered to be a "typical" German sausage. Happy to be put in my place after making a terrible generalisation! Something similar could be said as for Polish sausages and Kielbasa. I love their white sausage for example, and they're pretty into blood sausage (black pudding!) too. And yes the best black pudding can be and is sometimes even better eaten cold, since it's already cooked, but I wouldn't want to do that with the crap that comes sliced in a packet from Tesco.

villa4europe Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 The hard Rock Cafe local burger in krakow was a black pudding burger and it was stunning, they seemed to get it, its not just about the spice blend that makes good BP so good (only one I've had that came close to being as good was the Munich one which was 3 sliders on pretzel bread which is a personal favourite of mine) German white sausage is the munich one, they boil it and then peel the casing off before eating, that's a shit one that I don't like 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All parts are good, and the bar is built that way for a reason. There's certainly a case for this with some bars. But, consider the Toffee Crisp - the 'toffee' on top is bang average, but the 'crisp' on the bottom is delicious, and better on it's own.

All flavours work, but the pinnacle is ready salted on thick white, with proper butter. 2nd place goes to Beef Monster Munch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 On crisps, I like the Smiths ones with the salt sachet inside. I eat most of the crisps, then put all the salt on the last 5/6 in the bag. if I’m feeling really decadent, I eat 2 packs with no salt, then put all 3 sachets in the 3rd bag. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
