TitianWarrior Hursty One of my fave potato dishes is Dauphinoise, I must say I prefer the similar, but less heavy boulangere.🙂
seanc80 Along_the_Wire You have chips above Fondant, Gratin (or Dauphinoise), Lyonnaise, Pommes Anna?
Along_the_Wire bosstrabs You’re absolutely correct, of course, I do prefer a thicker chip, but was just giving the French a tiny bit of credit.
Along_the_Wire seanc80 Yup. Fondant is just posh mashed potato. I don’t like all the butter, cream and general sloppiness
Along_the_Wire seanc80 Also, I don’t really like French food in general, so it’s not often a choice I have to make.
LT42 rhouses Yeah that’s Kumpir, although they add all kinds of toppings like pickles, sweetcorn etc.
seanc80 Grant doesnt like garlic or butter or any of that yucky stuff. He likes a well done breaded chicken breast with some ketchup. And fair play to him.
Smallman1 Ireland’s haute cuisine backbone was built on Michelin starred French cooking. It’s a funny old game.
Along_the_Wire Smallman1 We had the British empire for almost 300 years and controlled 24% of the earth’s land. What did we come up with in that time, outside of meat and two veg? Yorkshire fucking puddings. Britain would be a culinary vacuum but for the continent and in large parts of our country, it still is.
