English Cooking

[morqthana]

Sorry, duck egg and lovely don't work in the same sentence, or paragraph or even page for that matter.

No, you really don't.

Bombay Duck is actually a fish.

Are there other misleading food names.

Guinea Pig.

Two-for-one - it's not from Guinea and it is not a pig.

No, you really don't.

Erm Morqthana, the above member is not a member any longer, hence why it says 'deleted member', so by all means dig his old posts out and reply to them but you'll not get a lot of chat back from him.

Much better is a huge fluffy single YP made in a large tray. Cut into slices. Eaten as a starter with gravy, then with the main course, and finally for afters with golden syrup.

One wonders how long it will take before some people would allow them to call it 'traditional Indian cooking'?

Dunno.

Is Indian food traditionally hot? They didn't have chillies until the Portuguese introduced them in the 16th century.

 

[morqthana]

Yes life was different then. My Gran had 3 brothers and did as they did, they lived in the countryside too which I suspect had some bearing on their rabbit hunting.

Yeah - they don't like you taking a shotgun to the petting zoo....

 

[morqthana]

No. Try serving your dinners on a warm plate.

I do. Still goes cold too quickly.

 

[securespark]

Then make the platters hotter?

 

[securespark]

Spicy food is common in very hot countries as it encourages sweating and thus cooling of the body.

I was always under the impression that they like it fairly hot, but not pi55 head hot.

Anyone tired a Phal

 

[morqthana]

This thread is a **** take

I don't drink ****. It makes my asparagus taste funny.

 

[morqthana]

... dig his old posts out ...

Not really - I was just reading through the pages since last week to see if I'd had any tips on breaking duck eggs, https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/english-cooking.642704/post-5947606 and answered a few as I went.

Don't think I am.

Unless I'm leading a secret double life, so secret even I don't know about it.

Hmmm - might explain a few things.

A question was asked "what constitutes 'English cooking', which led to a discussion on the various foods brought back from the Americas at the beginning of the 16th century which have contributed to the variety of diet we all enjoy today.

I've concluded that there's only one definition which works:

Food that's cooked in England.
