Food

Don't go to that guy (or girl)!

Buy a slow cooker and you will save a ton of cash on the energy your cooker uses.

Have private lessons with a teacher. I think we are her only students but her dad wrote lots of Spanish language textbooks so I think she likes to keep the teaching in the family. I can ask if she is looking for more students, she's based in Shoreditch and it's £20 for two of us for an hour.

thanks for that, have a word and see.

Damn, that's cheap! Jump on it, CornDog...

Food here is amazing and cheap. All this for £30 will last four days while we are in Cartagena.. The food was also amazing in Medellín, so many dishes..

I could get all that in Brixton Market for £30, no problem... Seriously...

Looks like you're having an ace time, enjoy!

Been to the race track?

Always found the food there awesome and cheap and fresh, even the smaller supermarkets.

The knife thread is dead/about shanking mandem so I'll ask in here

I've been hankering after a sweet kitchen knife for a few years, and with a lack of anything better to ask my girlfriend for this xmas, I decided this year is the year. I've been looking at Japanese steel, specifically entertaining the idea of the HD-3 5.9" Gyuto from Hattori, but then £100+ seems a lot for someone who is merely an amateur chef.

I've always made do with shit £5 knives from Ikea and the like, but my mum recently spent about £25 of Tesco vouchers on a knife from their new homeware range and I was impressed enough when I used it to start seriously considering buying a proper one. I could just buy the same knife she has but then that wouldn't be the LFGSS way.

Get a stealth fighter knife:

It's laser-bonded titanium-carbide which shouldn't need sharpening for over two decades.

Knife thread is alive and well.

Knife porn, I think.

Pretty much the same conversation in the last few pages of the knife porn thread. A few people recommended Victorinox kitchen knives as a good value, good quality option. Around the £25 price range.

Check out my links to Nisbetts, they have a shop near shoreditch so you can go a feel the knives to see how they feel in your hands.

Of you want to go a tad more spendy take a look at invisible edge. Tiny outfit based in malvern. Lovely stuff, awful website.

I'm buying one of these and getting it personalised with something ridic

My housemate put my Global knife in the dishwasher. Now she's banned from using that and my frying pan.

Last night I made paneer shallow fried with red onion, garlic, beetroot, green lentils, tomato purée and spices and plonked it on a shop bought naan. Well better than it sounds, and it sounds tasty.

Global knife in the dishwasher

gasp, i live in fear every day that this will happen, but bf is my "flatmate" and the consequences are greater than a banning from using knives and fry pan.

fried sweetbreads for supper?

um...not bad...revenge banking that one...

If he does, you know he's not a keeper.

Did she use the knife? Or did you leave it out?

Do love a well seasoned cast iron pan, once shouted at an ex for cleaning a cheapie non stick pan and then apologised as I have no idea why that was important.

I have a massive rack of beef ribs to cook for dinner tomorrow, does anyone have tips for cooking them I have to do them in the oven, and they've been marinating for 24hrs.

All advice welcome. Ta.
