meatcake up your sleeve?

That sounds tempting.... up my sleeve.

Grelos are super seasonal over here, seems like it's a two week window or summat, I always miss them at the Portuguese shop... Caldo Galego isn't quite the same without them...

I got a stack of some amazing cookbooks from an old housemate. One only about rice, a really good one about Toscane and one about the original oldskool Surinam kitchen, amongst some others. I need money.

This guy knows his shit.^ Just sayin'.

got any other gems like your meatcake up your sleeve?

Why don't you call it the english name... - Rabe? Or the correct Italian - Rapini.
You can't get it London anyway, because you don't grow it here AFAIK.

It's call "Grelos" in Portuguese and you can get them in Britxon (just ask about, the Portuguese word, which BTW, is a synonymous for CNUT ;) ) in any veg stall.

Why don't you come off your high horse for **five minutes? **And stop highlighting words, coming off in a smug and irritating manner? I know what it tastes like, what its used for and that it's often called **Rabe **or **Rapini. **I've eaten it plenty of times overseas, just wanted to know where to get it in **London.

he's been around ..

I can't believe what this thread has become..... you people... srsly.

Shutup Nuno and take me for dinner.
I'll be your new Max

;)

p.s went to Oceano a month ago ordered waaaay too much.

That waitress wasn't there either.

Could go for a Portugal game...or not

Cooking for my parents, brother and half sister tonight. Preparing some dishes in smaller quantities so we can have a taste of it all, including: tiny meat balls without sauce because they taste good as they are, a moist Spanish rice with small pieces of chicken with bone, artishoks and other vegetables, gambas fried in good olive oil with shitloads of garlic, red pepper and koriander finished off with a splash of white wine. Got some decent but not special bread and made a simple aioli and bought (i know) hoummous to go with that. Also got a nice, not too spicy but very rich fuet. My brother is bringing the wine and he wouldn't take my advice so I hope it'll go with the food, which is gonna be difficult with the variety in tastes, especially the meatballs next to the other stuff.

1st of all son, I live on a horse.
2nd I wasn't trying to come off as smug, but If you find me irritating there's an ignore button.
3rd To me, you came off as smug by calling rabe - cime de rapa - but that's just me.
4th I actually used my reply to indicate where and how to get it. But hey...

Best xoxo

i like cheese.

me too but not when melted.

Nuno are you the Nuno from Chiltern Firehouse? I don't think you are, but someone on the forum had a connection to Viajante and I remember you do something foodie but I thought that was a cafe with pastels de nata or whatever they're called.

That place was in the Guardian today but however good it is, the fact that Bryan Ferry and the Camerons are regulars should warn people off ever going.

Don't think this meatcake fuck's good enough to cook in the Firehouse as my set's started calling it #prayformeatcake

O Viajante is owned by Chef Nuno Mendes. Not me.

My meatcake however, makes wonders.

I've been considering (a big fat maybe), attending some course at Le Cordon Bleu though.
Not sure it's worth le cash, but I'd love the experience.

Fuck this shit

Nuno are you the Nuno from Chiltern Firehouse?

Of course not, he's called nuknow, not Nuno.

Ta-daa

Chemo means I'm not allowed to eat anything fun for a while. No rare meat, no blue cheese, all egg must be thoroughly cooked with no runny bits. I've even been warned off making batches of stuff and keeping it in the fridge, in case I accidentally put myself in hospital with food poisoning.
I basically have no white cells in my blood until next week sometime, so no resistance to infection.
Suggestions for simple recipes to keep me sane over the weekend, subject to the rules given to me by my lovely dietician, would be most gratefully received.

or i might just live on bacon sarnies

Soba noodles with stir-fried kale, bacon, onion, garlic, chilli and ginger... Best meal ever, super healthy (apart from the bacon) and super delicious...

Just eat loads of Asian food... ;)
