We have this friend you see…. He has this thing about posting picture of the most appalling food. If you see a Wetherspoons plate you know he’s gone executive. If he’s on holiday in Eastern Europe you can pretty much expect to see live toads and entrails on his plate……
So just for you Hugh:-
½ a Giant Yorkshire Pudding ( Seems reasonable so far )
Parsnip crisps ( Also reasonable )
Boiled Carrots ( Still sounds OK? )
Deep fryed Lecto-Fremented Garlic Mushroom in a Gram Flour batter with Chilli seeds ( Getting a bit harsh now )
Pork Loin steak griddled with whole grain Mustard ( No bad but a bit dry and the griddle will need a proper clear! )
Onion Gravy
Fresh Parsley from the planter box outside the make it all ‘Pretty’
Addition extras for Hugh
(1) One shaved raw Pigs scrotum.
(2) Vanilla Ice cream.
(3) A live Toad.
(4) Sawdust from a large west facing Sycamore tree.
Actually without the “Hugh Additions” it was quite tasty!
These were intended to be more of a Potato Rosti but our grater wasn't up to the job so I improvised! They were actually more like an Onion Bhaji. Certainly not a disaster, but I'm good to admit an error once in a while!
They are there on the plates, just dwarfed by Sue's monster pasties.......
We served them with Sue's giant home made Cornish Pasties – Recipe here
Home made pickled Cauliflower and chilli – Recipe here
Cherry Tomatoes and red Onions dressed with a little oil and Parsley
Ingredients:-
3 large Potatoes, parboiled and sliced very thinly
2 Onions, sliced finely
3 tbls plain flour (Gluten free works fine)
2 tsp Chilli flakes
2 tsp Garlic salt
2 tsp Onion salt
2 Eggs
Oil for frying
Method:-
(1) Once the sliced Potatoes have cooled mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
(2) Form into fritters.
(3) Fry in a little oil turning once, until golden brown on both sides.
There is a 'Continental' shop not far from us. Next time we have a little spare cash we'll probably get a bag on Gram flour and try a proper Onion Bhaji recipe.
