Title: Do NOT say BURNT!!
Post by: tim on March 14, 2009, 15:49:08
They were delicious.
Didn't have Tarragon, so used part Sherry & part Cider vinegar. Different but fine.

Ooooooh, Tim!  I didn't say a word!!!

That looks absolutely delishous, I'll give that a try.  One of the comments on the recipe mentioned that it tasted a bit too vinegary, so maybe your adaptation was the right one.

OK,OK, I won't write 'burnt', but....like your food well-cooked do you, Tim? ;)

Not to say that the dish isn't well cooked, tho...it looks v. toothsome 8)

It was a slip, Lishka!! The flip side was fine.

Just by the way - Mustard? We have plenty. Use masses in Devilled Chicken. Three tins in fact.

Oh dear, something's gone wrong with our prioritisation. BBE '84, '85 & '85!!! Well, they were in the back of the bottom cupboard & I find it difficult to get down there these days. So had to use made mustard.

The Ham cakes were the end of our Xmas Ham. Plus Potato, Onion, Egg, Worcestershire Sauce, Parsley.

I remembered the pic of the soss from before ::) ;)......

So...in summary, I think we can safely assume that at Casa Elkington you like your food crisp, with a bit of a crunch to it and well-coloured?

And tasty. Your recipes are always tasty 8)

Tim

Do you do all the cooking or your wife?

Whichever - I think that you seem to eat very well - your pictures of your meals always look fantastic - and yes sausages - when I used to eat meat were better blackened!

Whereas She did it for most of our lives, with 4 children, having been retired for 5 years I have to keep myself out of the Pub. And I have always loved it. Even cooking for the Army on exercises!! As said earlier, in the 20s we had a cook. She allowed me to experiment.
Father would have been as good a chef as he was a soldier & market gardener. American Grandmother brought innovation. Mother was talented.
I've been fortunate.

And I enjoy food!
