Food

I went to Bone Daddies last night what with the ramen boat having been n all. It's a nice place, not too crammed, little pricey for what you get but good tasty food. I find pho a bit boring these days so I will probably head back soon.

Need a good beef joint for a Sunday roast. Any suggested butchers in West London?

Re: Chorizo question.

I don't know if its a proper chorizo sausage or a regular sausage that has just got a bit too much smoked paprika in, but if I was you, I'd fry em up, let the fat render out, add some chicken thighs to the pan and brown them, then chuck in garlic, white beans of some description and chicken stock. Let it reduce a bit then put in some greens (i use kale usually) and have it all with some delicious bread and delicious wine.

^ Won't work with 'choritso (sic) sausages' tho'... ;]

BTW If you want some really good Galician chorizo go to the little Spanish deli/grocers a couple of doors down from Honest Jon's on the Portobello Road... Almost as good as the stuff I bring back from Spain...

Is the butcher in Kew Village not any good? (Are they even still there, its been a while since I've been)

Colleague had a nice lunch yesterday with Chorizo sausage that I'd recommend. Bed of rocket, chopped chorizo sausage, little roast potatoes, and a poached duck egg on top.

Pethers in Kew are good, but I have found their steaks a little too lean. They are also a little nice but pricey. Probably looking for cote de boeuf as I want lots of meaty beef flavour.

Going to Benidorm in Summer, going to bring back a case full of 1 euro sausages and sell them on Broadway Market for a fiver a pop.

PROFIT

You know what? I think the chorizo on Portobello might be cheaper than the stuff I get in Spain...

Slightly late to the game I know, but I'm going to either Bodeans or Pitt Cue (depending on queues etc) on Thursday.... which is better? Is Pitt Cue all hype, or worthy of the rave reviews?

Ginger Pig for CDB

Next issue, conventional roast or slow cook as per Heston Blumenthal

http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/dec/14/slow-roasted-rib-of-beef-with-bone-marrow-sauce-recipe

but probably my lack of second oven will preclude this (would be needed for roast spuds, parsnips and yorkshire pudding)

I have done the Heston slooowwwww cook beef rib and chicken and although a massive faff the results, particularly the chicken, are worth it IMO.

Quick Question...

Who here works in the food industry? Anyone? I need a gad-damn career change...

Had em with griddled, with smashed chilli and parsley butterbeans lifted with a little lemon juice and olive oil, and kurly kale.

Verdict - not bad. Quite robust and more 'Choritso' than banger. Morrison's signature smoky mini chorizo cooking susages BTW. Laters.

Another here. Whussup?

Oh, and a possible pre-empt; don't be a chef.

went to wahaca for din dins last night. enjoyed it more than I did last time I went

Made a successful Tarka Dal last night, with aubergine, chickpea and coconut curry, served on pearled barley. Was nice.

^ Will someone think of the otters!!!!

LHL / Eamesy - PM'ing you now.

^ Will someone think of the otters!!!!

Reminds me of that joke

'Ever had a Chicken Tarka?'

'No, what's that?'

'It's like a Chicken Tika but a little 'otter!'
