Not much help when you want the Rick Stein one Livewire. Thanks Scarlet Witch

That seems more like a toad in the hole grannyboo

I would say a rectangle of shortcrust pastry, topped with tuna, onions, peppers and sweetcorn. Cheese sauce. Then cover in puff pastry lattice and seal well at the edges.

Be wary of Fairtrade goods as the system does not work as well as it is made out to. Really doesn't do as much as it would have people believe.

Don't those old fashioned sweet shop online places do them? they do most things.

If genuine means rude then you are right. That post is rude and offensive and should be removed.

Read what I have said. It is widely known that there are many problems within the Fairtrade system, my post is a warning that it does not do as much as people are led to believe. It did not warrant a personal attack from someone.

What is your problem Nick?

Apart from the sheer audacity you have to point an acusing finger at me by assuming I do nothing. Which is very much wide of the beam. You are talking a general angle now whereas before you instructed everyone to buy Fairtrade as if it would save the millions.
What you say generally is true and Live8 will once again make a difference.
I gave a little insight into something I know a lot about because I have been part of it. Fairtrade has problems.

So why insult me for saying what I know? Shall I assume it is only a few entitled to post here? I have made an offering in response to the original post about Fairtrade and have been crucified for it. I have not given an opinion on anything except something I know about. I have not insulted anyone nor tried to upset anyone or spouted about something I do not know the facts of.
I have not said there aren't major problems in the world, I have simply said that there are problems with Fairtrade.
I am not saying Nick isn't a good guy, I am not telling him to get off his butt and do something, I am not having a go at him or anyone else. Simply defending the point I made, which I know is true.

So am I Nick, and thank you apology accepted, and I see you are genuine.

Shortbread or brandy snaps or any other crisp little biccies and maybe a bitter chocolate sauce

Beurre fondu is light but quite rich, Allemande is fairly straight forward and can be adapted in many ways. Salsa Verde is simple to make, or if serving cold cucumber, with equal amounts of yogurt or sour cream and mayonaise with chopped dill is very good.

I am positive that scores of recipes and food ideas have been considered gimmicks over the years. Surely that doesn't make them pointless. I read a wonderful article a while ago where other chefs gave their views on Heston's food and most of the top chefs in the country loved the ideas, as did many of the celebrity and TV ones.
Are you going through a pointless phase relishmama?

That is strange, I put almost identical details here about an hour ago they they were removed.

Carrot and parsnip chips are a nice accompaniments and sweetcorn fritters. A nice vegetable ragout.

I wouldn't even think about whether it was real or not, nor would I vote. For someone to post on one site begging for votes to win something on another, is to my mind cheating.

You will find most of the words you example in the Oxford dictionay as words adopted into the English language. Even so, the others are all culinary terms or ingredients etc., so what exactly is your point?
Spangler, are you confused by the post and what it means? I certainly am.
Maybe to much emphasis on champagne, Fino, Amontillado, Retsina, Reisling, Bordeausx, Burgandy,Alsace and not enough on the true purpose of the site. Why such a hostile nature towards the site and other members, if you don't like it here why keep posting

Agreed todai, but as not everyone has an Asian store nearby and some people really will not be able to get the required ingredients. It is good that people can suggest an alternative that may not give the same result, but a nice one all the same. Has to be better than leaving it out altogether.

For the fresh keep it simple, either grill or wrap in foil and cook in the oven. Put some butter, parsley, lemon and chopped onion in the cavities, or on top of fillets. Serve with new potatoes, and vegetables or salad, with extra lemon wedges or orange if you prefer.

Chicken a la king, curry, jambalaya, paella or risotto, chicken and ham pie, croquettes, brochettes, or on a plate with ham and pickles.

Chicken chow mein could help the search facility find it sooner.

Never use bleach on wood, it will kill the natural guard against bateria that wood has. Bicarb is the best idea.

Look out for botulism though. The jar must be sterlized and the oil heated or there is quite a large risk.

They are small lobster normally from Norway, are you looking at a "surf and turf" recipe?

Where can one complain about the moderation of this site? It seems pointless to complain to the moderators themselves about this matter and from what I have read they do not often reply to emails anyway. Who is the higher body of this site the moderators report to and are answerable to?

That is a high ammount of stock to use in a pie with a bottom as well as top crust. I would make sure it is really reduced to a very dry state before putting in the pastry or not line the dish and have a lovely crisp top crust and lots of tasty gravy.

This is a good recipe and I would also think about doing a suet crust rather than shortcrust.

adding mushrooms is good too and mushroom ketchup instead of worcestershire sauce.
