RMweb Gold PupCam Posted July 6 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 6 2 hours ago, TheQ said: Removals / additions from food are acceptable I think, if they are separately cooked items, but not if it's a constituent of an assembly cooked together.. Precisely. No one would consider telling the Chef to add x or subtract y as a constituent to their normal recipe for, for example, their signature Dormouse and Crayfish Pie that would be completely wrong but a request to omit the side of Acorn Bhaji entirely reasonable. Many years ago at one of the CMRA exhibitions at St Albans there was a choice of options for the exhibitors lunches. To give the catering team a clue as to demand I was scooting round to all the exhibitors to tally up the requests for each. One of the options was lemon chicken and one particular, well known, young (at the time) exhibitor requested the lemon chicken but asked if he could have it without the lemon. I said I'd see what I could do. I may have lied ...... 🤣 2 hours ago, polybear said: **Would Sir like Custard on his Baked Beans? Sure, why not......

As in, if it's present OR not! 🤞 @polybear I've been trying to support your foody perversions but I have to draw the line at custard AND baked beans. I'm a true believer in a time and a place for everything and so there is for both custard and good old fashioned (not ponced up) baked beans BUT NOT TOGETHER. Why only this evening the Puppers enjoyed a dinner of Disques plats de boeuf served with buttered & minted new potatoes, Haricot beans in a tomato coulis and a tomato & cucumber salsa. Seemed alright to us all though at no point did I consider the addition of custard would enhance it ..... If you want to push the boundaries of food pairing? Well of course I can heartily recommend the well known (in parts) Stilton and fruit cake where the sum is most definitely greater than the parts however good the Stilton and/or the fruit cake is. 2 hours ago, Tony_S said: The original lemon drizzle didn’t have a cream layer .

However at the moment we aren’t eating cake at teatime anyway. No cream layer of any form in Mrs Puppers often requested LDC. Just lemon sponge cake with as much sugary lemon juice injected and drizzled over it as it can take, with the ratio of sugar to lemon juice just so that the solution crystalizes on contact with the air to provide a very slight crunch on the surface. Ummm, I'm starting to feel peckish. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course by next year they might have dropped that burger and replaced it with something (to me) inedible. *Before one of the big TV networks gets an exclusive coverage deal and ruins it. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post BR60103 Posted July 7 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted July 7 One of the restaurants at Disney World is the '50s Prime Time Cafe. It's overseen by "Mother". One person reported that someone didn't eat the peas with their dinner. The peas re-appeared on top of the dessert. SWMBO is not in good shape. Her back hurts which seems to be something strained and then aggravated when she twisted to pick something up. She's been to doctor, massage and a couple of pharmacies for pain killers. 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tut, tut, tut. What kind of friend are you, Puppers? I have been quite vocal about @polybear’s addiction to UPF, but even I have regarded his more misguided culinary combinations as mere eccentricities.. Perversions? Well, really. 9 hours ago, PupCam said: I'm a true believer in a time and a place for everything and so there is for both custard and good old fashioned (not ponced up) baked beans Not ponced up? Not ponced up? Oh, you mean from a tin with plenty of added flavour enhancers, colours, emulsifiers, emulsifying salts, sweeteners, thickeners, and anti-foaming, bulking, carbonating, foaming, gelling and glazing agents. Why didn’t you say so? i loved the quote in this article: (https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/sep/06/ultra-processed-foods-the-19-things-everyone-needs-to-know) which went “Most UPF is not food. It’s an industrially produced edible substance.” 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel her pain. Twist and lift is definitely not a good idea but so easily done without a thought. Some years ago we had a short break in Pisa ( not pizza as some of my fellow British travellers called it when buying a bus ticket). Our hotel was about 20 mins walk from the wonky tower and restuarants were the usual jack the price up near the tourist spot fare. Just round the corner from our hotel, we found a back street pizza place. Two tables outside barely clear of the road and two bench tables and benches inside that you could just about squeeze in to sit. The pizza was excellent, as was the calzone, the entertainment during dinner was watching pizzas and a mountain of pizza boxes being made for the endless procession of scooter riders to deliver Fantastic atmosphere, fantastic, reasonably priced food and very friendly but busy staff. We went back 4 nights out of the five we were there. Andy 13 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted July 7 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7 I recall a foodie fad, back in he last century, possibly the 70s, where cold baked beans (straight from the tin) were served with fresh salad.

Why is Flavio retching into that bucket?? It’ll take more than cold baked beans to make me nauseous. Once you’ve hooked a floater out of a river or been at an autopsy of a “crispy critter”, then cold baked beans don’t even register on the “yuck” scale. Mind you cold beans can be excellent; as the Italian dish of “tonno e fagioli” proves (and they use white Borlotti beans, not haricots [baked beans]) 3 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
