Food

Ah I found the post. The formatting is a little bit off because of the switch in forum software but it doesn't make it sound any less rad.

UPDATE: I had the wrong link

Everyone seems settled on burgers now, I'll reserve brisket for next year.

It's St. Barnabus in Dalston/Stokey, I don't know how many in total there are but I know this church does it every Friday in Nov - Dec, then another church takes over Fridays in Jan - Mar. I don't think any church does a night Nov - Mar so I'm assuming there's 14 in total.

Thanks for the link!

Aw I remember that day...

Why don't you do some brisket? Could slow cook a couple batches and then reheat with some mash.

edit: too slow.

you'll need to get a closh to melt dat cheez

Some of you have been to, or are from, Portugal right? Family issues have prevented us from being able to make xmas vacation plans until right now. Thinking of a last minute* trip to Lisbon. I have never been there, but love what I have had of Portuguese food.

My question: If I am there from like the 24th to the 1st will restaurants be open? I assume some will be closed, but even here in Germany I feel like the country closes up after xmas. It would be a bummer to show up in Lisbon and eat Mcdo for all meals.

Today I have been spreading butter on cereal bars.

Been eating maroilles. Fuck me it stinks.

And I've been pronouncing it wrong.

ha, it hums, and not in a pleasant way

Thoughts on pairing Christmas cake with a hard cheese, preferably Wensyledale?

With sherry or port or brandy or whisky (to your preference) , why not?

My thoughts are - do it

I've been using Cantal and lincolnshire poacher

I've always done it, just that my gf's parent's were a bit revolted. Yorkshire think I think.

Has anyone in London got a sour dough culture they wouldn't mind sharing? I've tried three times to make a starter and it just won't go, sob sniff.

went down well for an afternoon's beer drinking

Honey Loops were on offer in my local supermarket so I thought I'd purchase a bit of nostalgia. I may be somewhat out of the loop (sorry), but what the fuck did they do to a once great cereal? Grim.

After a family get together i was left with 3 foreribs and trimmings, what to do?

Put them in the oven at 140 while: sliced 4 large onions, added them, a tablespoon of brown sugar, some oil and salt and pepper into a soup cauldron, and produced a french onion soup base. Added a remaining half of a bottle of mulled wine, the left over gravy (rinsing the pan out with hot water into the pot), 2 chillis, 4 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 star anise, handful peppercorns and juniper berries, half a jar of pickled onions, and simmered.
After 2 hours, brought beef bones out of oven and tipped into the pot and scraped out/rinsed the pan, added another 3 pints of water, to cover everything (appx 8 pints in the pan now) and simmered for 4 hours, then turned off and left overnight.
This morning, scraped the fat off (dogs very thankful), pulled meat from bones removed large bits of spices, and set it simmering again, adding some more salt to taste.
Got back in from a windy bike ride and just blitzed it all up in the pot.
The most delicious spiced beef soup :)

Sous vide rump steak tonight!

Rump from the local butcher

Vac packed with salt, butter and thyme

Finished cooking 53C for 2 hours

Looks a bit pale...

Lets colour it up a bit!

Medium rare.

Some potato and sweet potato wedges to accompany it.

I must admit that the texture is superb, much better than pan fry! Yum.

You an heat up a bar to give char lines, still looks a little pale for me

Strong work nevertheless

I've got a ridged, cast iron fry pan so I'm going to sear it on that next time to see if there is an appreciable difference.

Run there if you can, currently he's got some top class buffalo mozzarella (on the edge of it use by date) going for £2.50 and pasta's £1.
Parma ham is amazing too. Cheapest Parmigiano-Reggiano in town.
Such an amazing store and lovely man.
