The really low-end restaurant thread

Hursty

Millsy Exactly, get it right and nothing comes close.

The cooked breakfast.

Grant eating all that fancy foreign food not realising the good stuff is all around him.

Prawns on a spoon.

Turkey twizzlers must be an english invention, or should i say gift to the culinary world. Bernard what the fuck you call him?

bosstrabs

Yes, turkey twizzlers, definitely a British thing. Served on an old Beastie Boys vinyl or the keystone from a 17th century stone bridge for a contemporary spin.

Hursty . Is the sausage roll a traditional British food item? Not sure about that one.

Hursty

seanc80 Well there aren’t many other countries that produce traditional sausages and I would hazard a guess it was also us who decided to wrap one up in pastry like many other savoury items!

The sausage and bean bake from Gregs. The of food champions, perfect to line the stomach on the way to sign on for another week.

bosstrabs

-si- Greggs is an institution, I like how they’ve regionalised their menu (e.g. you get Bakewell Tarts in the North West, but they’re replaced by Tottenham Cake down south) to show the true diversity of our island’s cuisine.

Bangers and mash.

Which is also cockney rhyming slang for cash.

I’m fed up with the nonsense around food. That somehow British food is inferior to that which is consumed on the continent.

Bedfordshire Clanger (suet crust dumpling) with a slice of Battenberg to finish. Yes. Please don’t forget we single handily won multiple wars eating starch in this country.

Most of you foreigners wouldn’t have any of the benefits of the industrial revolution if it wasn’t for foods like bacon 🥓 (discovered by Sir Francis Drake while he was ransacking Kenya)

Plates of meat.

Did anyone ever just eat a plate of meat? Savages if they did.

Isn’t that a German thing. A plate of cold meats for breakfast. I’m just coming round after G-man put chips as the No1 potato dish. Definitely roasted for me or a really good smooth mash made with loads butter.

bosstrabs A mixed grill?

mono-stereo

It was only whence we placed the first rasher into two slices of medium sliced white bread, the tribesmen realised two things - You could eat it and it was tasty.

bosstrabs

seanc80 Contains hash brows, mushrooms and grilled tomatoes surely?

seanc80

bosstrabs and an egg or two! But still at keast 4 to 5 variations of meat!
Actually that reminds me does any member of the board buy or cook lamb kidneys and/or liver?

mono-stereo

seanc80 I use liver as an ingredient for Spag Bol. Only a bit like - mushed up for an umami background flavour.

Problem is you can only buy it in giant packs, so end up given the rest of it to the cat.

Dubman

seanc80
Yes. I make my own steak & kidney pies & have liver once it twice a month.

Smallman1

There’s a terrific liver place in Corfu.

It’s called Veccios and it is absolutely sensational.

bosstrabs

The Lebanese and that area - they know how to do chicken liver well.

Apart from that, and the odd steak and kidney pie, I can take it or leave it.
