Thanks for the recipe... Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theTragicRich Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I LOVE food, though I'm a very picky eater. My mom would be the first to tell you I don't like anything, but when I find something I do like, look out! No: seafood, pork, and most veggies Yes: steak, chicken, turkey, some veggies I still can't decide whether italian or mexican is my all time favorite food... or maybe hot dogs.

theTragicRich Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 oh, and since beverages were brought up, it's usually coke for me during meals. Not big on coffee, though I can drink it when I need to.

Damien Mandola is Johnny Carraba's uncle; the show is taped in Austin. They are opening a winery and restaurant as well. Wow! I forgot to call!

jlrush Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I've lurked on this thread several times and have yet to contribute. Mostly I just get hungry and head for the 'fridge right after reading, but I thought I'd share a little potatoes and sausage recipe I picked up several years ago. Use your favorite type of link sausage; hot links, polish, or whatever. You could probably use ground sausage if you'd like. As for the potatoes, you can fry them like regular fried taters if you're good at it. But if you're like me and not very good at fried taters, then you can cut them into 2 inch cubes and blanch them for 5 minutes first. You can use a wok if you like, or your favorite frying pan. What I do is: Start some water boiling and cube the potatoes to 2' and blanch for 5 mins. Cut up onion, garlic, red and green peppers, or hot peppers if you prefer. Cut the sausage links into 1/2" size. Saute all the veggies in butter and add the sausage right after they start to get soft. Cook all this slowly until the potatoes are done. Drain potatoes and add to pan. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook until potatoes brown slightly. Sometimes I add a little mayo on my plate to mix in, maybe ketchup. One day I'll make a gravy with this, too. I just made myself hungry! Visit my band's new web site. www.themojoroots.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky McDougall Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 OK Phil, Some on this Forum have never had the pleasure of spending time in London. Tell us about the local food. Things that have not be Westernized. No Big Macs. Stews? Soups? If I wanted to order something very British what would I start with?

JonathanD Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 So many good ideas are here. I also love sausage. Spicy sausage patties with maple syrup. I gave up pork though Really pork is the best tasting meat I have ever tried. Other favorite things to eat. Salmon soup with cocanut milk, spinach, ginger and shalots. A touch of honey and cayane. Apple cider vinager Chicken with slices of suncrisp apples cooked on top. carmalized to a wonderful dark redish brown. Served with Green beans (from the can or fresh) Garlic mashed Potatos (mashed potatos may be the perfect side dish) and water to drink As a side note, Water really is the best drink with dinner as far as I am concerned. I love water, its my favorite liquid. OH, my oven is ready for lasagna, spinach, cottage cheese, ricota cheese, home made 3 cheese sauce, Zuccini, Seared beef finly crumbled and goat cheese and mozzerella on top.

tnb Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Best. Thread. Ever. All Hail Sweet Willie!!! Since this thread started, I have had the pleasure of having my own garden. There is no substitute for tomato right off the vine. By itself, on a burger, in a salsa - delicious. For some reason I thought I knew this, but I didn't really know. I have talked a little trash about red sauce, my wife, for some reason known only to her (probably my trash talking) picked, blanched, diced and made a sauce that absolutely crushed my desire to ever make a red sauce again. Hopefully by the time the next tomato harvest happens, I will have regained enough funk to try and out do her. Wish me luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMPires Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Portuguese food is the thing my friends. Did anyone had the pleasure of going to Portugal and try some tradicional food, like Cozido, or Bacalhau (salted codfish) or any of the tradicional sweets we have there. How I miss my lovely portuguese food. Not that I dislike Britain, I just think you eat far too much fast food and fried stuff, with loads of fat and grease. www.myspace.com/davidbassportugal "And then the magical unicorn will come prancing down the rainbow and we'll all join hands for a rousing chorus of Kumbaya." - by davio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as UK food goes, even us colonials have heard of pork pie, and I've even had some. It comes in cans here. Aussie food I really enjoy is the good old Sunday roast - roast lamb, roast vegies, pea, beans, gravy and mint sauce, washed down with a couple of glasses of cab sav or a good shiraz. Bar-b-cued lamb chops would be high on my list too. Apart from that, my all time favourite would have to be pizza - something with hot sausage/salami, olives, mushrooms and anchovies.

Personally we don't eat much fried food at home. Lots of pasta and rice and baked potatoes. Lots of fruit and veg. From what I understand the Portugese diet is Medeteranian, although Portugal is not actually on the Mediteranian. The British winter does lend itself well to stodge though.

You right Tim apologies, I think I did generalized, but the thing is that at home I eat Portuguese cuisine as far as possible, and when I go out I see loads of young mums with kids just eating fast food and that concerns me a bit. I have to say the best food in Britain is, (no not the curry) a good Sunday roast beef with loads of vegetables and gravy on top. mmmmm I might go carvery later today. www.myspace.com/davidbassportugal "And then the magical unicorn will come prancing down the rainbow and we'll all join hands for a rousing chorus of Kumbaya." - by davio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil W Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 David, I love Portuguese food too. In London it's mostly guys from Madeira and their cuisine. I've only been to Madeira so far, not the mainland. Is the food the same, are there any big differences. Except I noticed that the Madeirans were heavy drinkers! http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMPires Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 My other half is from Madeira Phil and last new years eve I was there, it's beautiful, I spend there a week and eat so many lovely things. Portuguese people are heavy drinkers by nature Yeah I go very often to Stockwell to eat portuguese cuisine. It's lovely and not expensive at all. www.myspace.com/davidbassportugal "And then the magical unicorn will come prancing down the rainbow and we'll all join hands for a rousing chorus of Kumbaya." - by davio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky McDougall Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 It has always been my understanding that British food did not contanin the heavy use of Spices as American, Mexican, Italian and even Mediterrian.

TimR Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Traditional English food contains more herbs than spices, sage, rosmarry, parsley, thyme, nettle, horseraddish, tarragon, chives and dill. Sweet chestnut grows on the trees and is very common. Spices like cinamon are occasionally used. Ginger is very common. Lots of foods are cooked in sauces made from wine, beer, cream or cider. Batter features prominently. Yorkshire puddings or fish in batter. Feel the groove internally within your own creativity. - fingertalkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
