*eeks* where did he manage to get nerds and dweebs from?!?! someone tell me please!!

hello!
does anyone know where you can get dried maftoul, or israeli couscous? Its like a big, fat, pearl sized couscous/pasta type thing...

i watched one show and did not approve! they were too xxxxxy, imagine how bad the people are gonna feel when they sit down to watch themselves on tv being a 'food hero' only to hear gary rhodes xxxxging them off! also, i cannot watch anything with rosmary shregar (sp?) in. she is THE most irritating woman on tv!

ok.... sustitute xxxxxy with 'nasty' & xxxxging with 'slateing'. i didnt realise the messageboard was so sensitive!!

my cousin who is a vegan will be coming for lunch on christmas eve. the rest of the family will be having fish pie & i am desperate for a seasonal vegan option for him!

any vegans out there got a favourite recipie they'd like to share?

anyone got a good christmassy vegan recipe to share?

the thing with vodka jellies is you have to be careful not to put too much vodka in or they dont set! I think about half vodka & half water works a treat.

i dont know much about flavoured vodkas. absolut make vanilla, lemon, orange, raspberry, currant...

you could try some cocktails - cosmopolitains are quite seasonal as they're made with cranberry juice.

a good alternative is macadamias as far as i'm aware

i dont know how she got her own show. her food is so mediocre

nigel slater
what a legend
also, rick stien
delia is a given!

i survived in a studio flat with a microwave for a few months
i know it's not brilliant food but microwave rice/pasta & sauces, pesto etc, all keeps in the cupboard & fills you up
instant mash using hot water, microwave some beans, yum!
haha
it's tacky stuff but you've gotta eat!

how about a nice green salad, seasonal, with a few herbs, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes etc, good french dressing
light but tasty

me thinks it is borough market in london

what is with that aaron craze guy???
so, he ran a pub for jamie oliver [which has now closed]
how comes he's on market kitchen every blinkin' day!
his food is nothing out of the ordinary
he's nothing much to look at
i just dont get it!!

grapefruit
i defy anyone to do anything tasty with a grapefruit

the amount of 'hate' posts MK gets on these threads i wonder who the hell actually watches it!
yeah i miss GFL too :( it was the best show on UKTV by far!

Rosti - tbh i didnt mean to insinuate that it was aarons 'fault' that the cock closed - i have worked as the assistant manager of a pub for a year & i know how tough it can be... the point i was trying to make is..... i just hate how they're trying to sell him as 'jamie olivers prodogy' when in my opinion he's nowhere near as talented. I have respect for the guy having written a cookery book with 'severe dyslexia' tho, i wrote my dissertation about dyslexia so it is a subject close to my heart so fair play to the guy

who knows, perhaps i'm just jealous he's a tv chef & i'm not. ha!

i went for my 21st birthday, it was amazing! BRILLIANT service with the waiting staff always seeming to be right there when you needed them without 'hovering' about.

i had the fishermans stew, it was various fish, mussels, razor clams etc with saffron potatoes. totally lush, one of the best things i've ever eaten!! my sister had chicken with creamy white beans, that was another favourite of mine.

wish i could attach a photo because i've got a great one of my pudding - once they found out it was my birthday they wrote 'happy birthday'in chocolate on the dish & stuck a candle in the top!

i cant actually fault anything about the place. it's all good local fresh produce, not overpriced, good service, good selection of wines.

you'll have to update the thread & let us know what you chose

interesting suggestion mrs woof woof
i do like 'two fat ladies' so might have to give it a try!!

hang on mods - so its ok for someone to accuse me of 'looking down my nose' at people & not being clever enough to write a cook book & i'm not allowed to defend myself?

i thought the point of these forums is for people to air their opinions about all things food related. for someone to retaliate with a totally uneducated irrelevent load of insults is just pointless & pathetic.

what a way to welcome someone to the boards

can you not spend waitrose vouchers online with ocado?

i wasnt getting at you at all rosti.... i agree it's good of the mods to just remove the bit of my post they disaproved of, i just resented them leaving the comments where i was being attacked & personally judged for starting this thread!! (granted a controversial one, but hey, thats my style!)

i've just figued out how to report someone so i have done so

i think that an 80's style party piece is definatly the best thing to do with a grapefruit

Olive11 - well, whatever floats your boat i guess i'd rather have a bit of..... the guy who does the cocktails sometime? cant remember his name now....

this thread is brilliant! unfortunatly i didnt start school until the 90s so many things are before my time, including the 'cornflake tart' which sounds ACE!
i do have fond memories of ice cream scooped mash potatoes, & the big tray bake of chocolate sponge with custard.....
making me hungry just thinking about it!
by the time i went to secondry school all there was to choose from was burgers, chips & pizza, so nothing to reminise about there unfortunatly....

i LOVE come dine with me!!! it's brilliant. it's hillarious how competative people are sometimes,watching people mess up, watching people try to entertain a group of strangers. it's very interesting they show it back to back for hours on more4 on the weekends. proper addictive! i'd love to go on the show myself!
