Favorite food?Well at the mo, it HAS to be mother's home made Lincolnshire Plum Bread. It's mum's mum's recipe, and she might well have got it from further back the family line. So it's a traditional family recipe!!It's bloody gorgeous! Cut a slice off, whack a great knob of butter on it, and a bloody gret lump of cheese, and it's pure bliss! Should I bother taking some to STIA?

I get pieces of this every saturday night where I work. I love it but not my favorite. Liver and onions with bacon is my favorite food. Favorite drink is a root beer float.
|
||||
| Les |
Liver is one of my worst foods.

Jimbo, I'll try your plum bread if there's any going mate - sounds great.
I LOVE a good full English cooked breakfast.....I sometimes think it's the reason I moved over here....(well, me missus had something to do with it as well  )
I also love good fresh sea fish, especially the big predators.....swordfish, tuna, shark....I'm Italian on my dad's side, and my family comes from a tiny fishing village in Liguria. Went there last summer and basically ate fish for two weeks. The thing about the real Italian restaurants is that they feed you exactly what it says on the menu....if it says "grilled swordfish" then that is what you get....to perfection. None of this "anthracite-grilled nugget of swordfish served with a coulis of bullshit"
The rest of me is Dutch, and you don't want to know about Dutch food.....having said that, green pea soup, yum yum. |

| Atticman |
The only Plum bread round here is Soreen stuff, its OK but nothing like the real mccoy.
If you bring some to STIA Jimbo then the crowds will flock in
|
||||
| johnreid |
I have to ask, so many are saying they love parsnips, the only I have tasted were like bland turnips, how do you fix them so they taste good? | ||||
| Les |
I part boil and then roast them.
|
||||
| bessytractor |
donuts..... | ||||

... dried widlup snash with baked quashi-quashi. On Sundays, deep fried sorggi lard with bacon fried in bacon lard.
|
||||
| johnreid |
Is that more like donuts or parsnips Toxx? | ||||
| MooseMan |
Mmmmmmm....parsnips......

My absolute favourite is my home made pizza.
I'm making them tonight in fact. A thin crispy base (made up from packet mix is fine), rolled as thin as possible, one per person about 12" across. Then covered with a generous dollop of pasta sauce. Then what ever toppings you fancy. Tonight's toppings will be cherry tomatoes, yellow and red peppers, mushrooms, bacon, grated mozzarella and sliced mozzarella. Drizzle a little olive oil and oregano on top perhaps. Cook in a hot oven for 12 minutes ish. If I'm quick enough I'll try and take a photo this evening.
|
||||
| Les |
We'll all be round for tea.

Those home-made pizzas make me feel wolfish! Tom need food, Tom need food!!! |

Sheeeeesssh...
I'm now weighing in at 195 pounds, down from 235 since october. I'm shooting for 185 by return of warm weather. I'm sitting here with a stomach that sounds like the local zoo's big cat compound and MC has to go and post homemade pizza. To his great fortune, there are many miles between my hands and his throat....LOL MC... you're a sadist...(grin) |

Ooh a lovely hot meat pie. Beef and ale is a favourite
The best pork pie I ever had was from a butchers shop 'Up North' somewhere - hhmm
James's Mum's Plum Loaf sounds great - two slices please. My roasts are very popular here too. Just did a nice piece of lamb
|

||||
| James |

What that needs is some kidneys and black pudding.
|
||||
| johnreid |
Just got home, I will not have to eat till tomorrow
|
||||
| James |
LMFAO That's what I like to hear!
When I see a sign for free food I eat as much as I can and make myself feel sick
|
||||
| Les |
You don't take some home for later then.
|
||||
| James |

| Les |
A man after me own heart!! |

... try this: Crumble some rosemary in to 1cup good honey. Add some olive oil (extra virgine!), salt and pepper. A tiny trace of vinegar! Spred this onto pork or lamb chops. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Now fry! Both sides golden brown. Into the oven at 175° for about 20 minutes. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then serve with potatoes, oven baked, the topped with sour cream, or mashed, or however you like 'em. String beans go nicely.
Some good wine (or beer for me) to wash the merry pork down ... Aaaah! To die for, lads!

Haggis - and seeing as that day is approaching - throw in the neeps and tatties!
By the way James - Haggis have a lot to do with sheep! |
||||
| James |
Aye they do Barry!
I've read several articles where they have been spotted grazing next to sheep
|
||||
| toxx |
... aaah, the Common Haggis (lat. haggisium vulgarae). Left to its own devices a very gentle and understanding animal that can be taught minor tricks such as stock broking.
But when cornered, a ferocious and dangerous specimen. Oi!

| rangerssteamtoys |
Just found this thread, thanks James
My farorite foods are separated into catagorys Breakfast: fried onions and potatos, scrambled eggs, susage, brown gravy, biscuits. Lunch: Dominos Pizza Dinner: pan fried steak and onions with brown gravy, biscuits, and french fries. Thats probably my ultimate food day
|
||||
| Mamodman123 |
How much for that cake???
Ranger, biscuits the ones you dunk in your tea? 
Full English Breakfast now thats where its at.
|
||||
| johnreid |
Biscuits in the US are not biscuits in the UK
I believe that what you call biscuits, we call crackers here. Do they call fries chips at a McDonalds in the UK? Are cookies snaps? |
||||
| logoman |
Pickles; onions, gherkins, beetroot, artichokes, infact most foods preserved in vinegar....except eggs. | ||||
| johnreid |
I have a weakness for Prime Rib, maybe washed down with a Single Malt. | ||||
| logoman |
what we call biscuits, you call cookies. perhaps.
and Mcdonalds call fries fries. |
||||
| bessytractor |
beer | ||||

Breakfast: Something stodgey that you can do a hard days graft on
Dinner: Haslet and stuffed chine butties with Lincs poacher cheese, and plum bread Tea: A great plate full of taties, Lincolnshire Sausages, nice bit of steak, gravy, basically a sunday dinner like. With Plum Bread! All washed down (apart from breakfast) with either Bateman's or Tom Wood's Lincolnshire ale.
Now can you see why I'm a girthy lad? |

These are the best crisps in the world! Hand cooked in Brigg (Lincolnshire) by Lincolnshire farmers!
