Title: Your favourite meal...?
Post by: Master Ray on July 25, 2014, 11:24:39 PM
Have any of us talked about food yet?  If not... what would your favourite meal be?

For me, it'd have to be a full English breakfast... not fancy, I know, but so bloody lovely...

Two sausages, two fried eggs (with runny yolks), two slices of bacon, baked beans, black pudding, mushrooms, a fried slice and as much toast as you can manage... possibly some bubble 'n' squeak if I happen to be down south...

Yourselves..?   ???

I'm vegan but a vegan version of the full English is one of my faves. They do it at a great cafe I go to in town. Other than that, vegan lasagne, 'proper' chips and loads of beans. Oh and a couple of slices of white bread. Refined? You bet!  8)

Ive got to recommend A Killie Pie to everyone Killie is the nickname for Kilmarnock in case your wondering Aldi have started selling them
Food is a bit like music for me depends on your mood
Chinese - chicken satay chow Mein
Breakfast Bacon rolls, Rolls on square sausage, Alpen
Indian Korma or rogan josh lamb with nan bread,chicken pakora
Chippy Fish n chips (haddock) Haggis, Fritters (kinda big chip in batter)
Healthy Chicken and bacon salad or prawn Pasta salads
Special mention Home made soup lentil or potato
Title: Re: Your favourite meal...?
Post by: Master Ray on July 29, 2014, 07:34:00 PM
my second fave meal (after the full English that I mentioned originally...) ?

Gotta be a chippie tea.  Could be the standard fish and chips (personally, I'd go for haddock rather than cod, but whatever...) but tonight it was a steak pie, chips and mushy peas with lots of gravy poured on top... ******* beautiful...

 :D

yeah, but you can be healthy up to that point instead of ill from the shit their feeding us. like if i went mad on chippie tea and cans of devils bit at the rate i know i am capable of then reality is in five years time i'll hardly be able to walk, breath or talk. i don't fancy that. that said, i'll go out in a blaze when the time is right rather than hang around.

we'll see anyway mate. we'll hopefully be posting here for many years to come.

I'm a big fan of a massive steak (sorry Barty!) but probably my favourite meal would have to be a really good curry, and if I had to pick a favourite curry it'd be Lamb Rogan Josh. YUUUUUUM.

Anyhoo. Black pepper Tikka massala made by my fair hand from a curry cook book. Its fab!

Difficult one but Full English, Curry and Steak and Chips are probably the three meals I would have to list as favourites.

Got to give a shout out to the Tunnocks biscuits range especially the tea cakes although the caramel wafers n logs are both excellent (if your reading this post boyd send us a box lol) Ok there a snack n not a meal but i thought they definitely deserve a mention
Title: Re: Your favourite meal...?
Post by: Wessexy Witch on July 31, 2014, 11:29:08 AM
Fave food ?
Anything I don't have to make myself !
 :)
Not saying I'm a bad cook, because I'm quite good, even if I do say myself and I've had no complaints over the years and I run the cooking club at school, but it's nice to go out or have a takey way.
 :)
The thing that does my head in at the moment though is pubs that don't do plates and serve food on chopping boards. Wooden chopping boards. Wooden chopping boards shouldn't be used in commercial kitchens because they're a germ/bacteria play ground and I have to see food served on them unless it's a ploughman's lunch (which is my lunch of choice at the moment).
 >:(
When Mark suggests we go for a meal in a pub the first questing after "Are you serving food ?" is "Do you have plates?" I once ordered soup just to see how it was served in a non plate pub ! For the record it was in a soup bowl but the bread came baked in a flower pot, I kid you not !
 ;D

Sooooo, fave food at the moment..good old Ploughman's Lunch.
*slurp*

Teacakes? What`s that? Very british me thinks

I prefer jacket potatoes with butter (or fried potatoes with onions and beacon), matjes of the new matjes season, curd, cucumber  8)

Sod it, can't be arsed to cook tonight, so it's over to my local takeaway for a big pizza... a simple pepperoni and mushrooms with a couple of slices left over for breakfast!   ;)

Title: Re: Your favourite meal...?
Post by: jc on August 01, 2014, 08:52:54 PM
Curry is always post gig as, from past experience, it is no fun bouncing on a full stomach; don't worry you can eat and do the after-gig.

Well, tonight for me it's a Wrights meat and potato pie with a bunch of roast potatoes and utterly drowned in thick Bisto gravy... debating whether to throw on a big dollop of mushy peas on the side...

Yup, I'm obviously from the North of England...   :D
Title: Re: Your favourite meal...?
Post by: Master Ray on January 11, 2015, 06:52:19 PM
OK, I wouldn't say it's a 'favourite' meal, but just got a pizza from my favourite dodgy takeaway just around the corner from my flat... pepperoni and mushroom laid on a weird orange cheese base that I suspect might be slightly radioactive...

Oh what the hell, it's bloody tasty, especially when dipped in mayonnaise...

 ;)

Title: Re: Your favourite meal...?
Post by: Amandistan on January 14, 2015, 03:17:59 AM
At the moment Mushroom risotto with Parmesan  cheese shredded on top.
or any type of risotto for that matter. I make it myself, it takes 20 minutes of constant stirring but is as addictive as crack.

Pol, I have only been to Scotland a couple of times (I know, for shame etc...  ???) but what are those square sausages called that they serve you for breakfast?  Bloody lovely!
Title: Re: Your favourite meal...?

There just called sliced or square sausage ray sometimes they call be called lorne sausage and your right they are excellent and very much a part of the Scottish diet
Title: Re: Your favourite meal...?
Post by: sozbot on January 15, 2015, 10:22:14 AM
Turns out we went for a curry instead of cooking bangers, mash and gravy.

Can't complain. Don't reckon a curry can be beaten, when it's as good as our local!

I don't have one but am craving a good Turkish kabab and the vine leaves stuffed with whatever that amazing filling is.
Also Bitterballen. One of the best things the Dutch has given the world! 

I also have chicken Kiev on my mind.
The worst thing about traveling is getting to taste such foods, becoming addicted and not having them readily available everywhere.

BUMP, it's been a while... and everyone loves food, right?

Where do you lot stand on Toad In The Hole?  Especially with thick onion gravy poured over the top?

New rule.  No mention of that awful thing called 'salad'.  Yes, it's healthy and stuff, but it's also mostly tasteless and has a texture I despise.  Nobody really likes salad.  Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Pizza and pasta always work for me, my favourite pizza is with tuna, shrimp, spinach, fresh tomatoes and mozarella cheese.

I also like a good curry

Ice cream...and anything with caramel, toffee and/or cinnamon ;-) Well, not in combination with pizza or pasta.

Anything by my landlords wife. Beef olives or steak with the trimmings. At the Chinese it's been special fried rice with curry sauce mainly as it's tasty n not too much.  Toad in the hole is ok ,think you would need a good home made one

My salad today was spinach,rocket,basil,baby tomatoes,sun dried tomatoes,olives,cumcumber and goats cheese. A bag of red grapes for pudding.
