Re: English Food
 

We always have a roast on Sundays...beef, pork, lamb.....I do steamed veggies too...usually broccoli or Cauli.....carrots and sometimes swede.....roast and mashed spuds, Yorkie puds......stuffing and apple sauce if it is pork.....horseradish with beef.
Don't do mint sauce with lamb...no-one likes it.
Fresh strawbs for afters with ice cream......though this Sunday we had Rhubarb crumble instead.
I'm not one for foreign food...no curries, or the like.....I'd rather be shot than poisoned.

Re: English Food
 

Sounds about right to me Margaret, although I am partial, to an odd Indian, curry that is:D Chinese ain't bad either, and well pizza and a kebab go down well after a few pints of falling down water, :Banane35:but on Sunday good old English can't be beat

Re: English Food
 

my brother and brother in law are both chiefs on special occasions they cook every English dish they can think off,,,,it will be nice to give them more ideas on what to cook,,,like the rolly polly and custard and rhubarb crumble ,,,,

Re: English Food
 

I have my reservations about that.

Re: English Food
 

I wanna eat at your house ... I will bring my own lipitor, and help with the dishes ... I am also good at shovelling snow if there is any.:D Maybe if customs will allow it, I will bring some Candian beef ... the good stuff, Canada Grade A, red band. Or some Moose steaks if that isn't too foreign for your tastes:D

[quote=Tracy J;551798]There is only me and hubby now in the family, but I cook a meal for an elderly gentleman who lives on one side of our house and an elderly lady on the other side......I know that they would not cook a roast for themsleves......and it doesn't take much extra work.

Re: English Food
 

I would love to cook for everyone...but I am not sure I would get the timings right.
I was taught cookery at school and we had a big family so I have always cooked.
i think there is a picture of one of my bread and butter puddings in my gallery....have a look.

Re: English Food
 

Ah, the old Schooners on #2 highway ... now I know where it is. Thanx, I will give it a try.:)

Re: English Food
 

that would be great,,,,i hope you have a lovely meal:mosher:

Re: English Food
 

It's a great location ... I used to call in whenever I took a ride on the old Yamahammer out to Gananoque ... I always throw a fishing rod in my saddlebags and there is great bass fishing a short stroll away from the restaurant.:D

Re: English Food
 

Tracey I serve my bread and butter pudding hot with custard and vanilla ice cream.....but it can be served cold with cream if so desired......unfortunately there is never any left to go cold.

Re: English Food
 

Margaret , sorry to say but Bread and Butter pudding brings back memories of school dinners , its on my list of things (now I am a grown-up) of things I will never eat again ,
top of the list ...Tripe , followed by a close second , Sheeps Head broth ( pity it wasn't a crime in the 50s for Grandmothers to send an 8 yr old up to the Butchers for a Sheeps Head and have to carry it home wrapped in a newspaper, not to mention your Grandad telling you tell the butcher to leave the eyes in ....they will see us thru the week).
also what the heck was that stuff they dolloped up as another school dinner pudding ..Semolina ....sodding wall paper paste ........
But the rest of your Sunday dinner sounds great :D :D

Re: English Food
 

My bread and butter pudding doesn't resemble the stuff we were given at school...and if you don't believe me check out the pic...it isn't all stodge, but lovely vine fruit, cherries, apricots and delicious creamy baked custard.

Re: English Food
 

Now you are being cruel:( I must be getting real old, that picture turns me on more than a playboy centrefold:D:D:D

Re: English Food
 

I love bread 'n' butter pudding, and Marg's sounds delicious.

I'd even eat it out of the cat's dish.:D

Re: English Food
 

Marg that looks delicious:)

Re: English Food
 

You know Eric, I hate to say it but I agree with you:s_cry::s_cry:

Re: English Food
 

Margaret - you must pass the recipe on to Katex ;)

Re: English Food
 

Is there some sort of innuendo here Margaret ? .. if so, has gone completely over me head .. love bread and butter pudding ... :confused::D

Re: English Food
 

It seems the way to get men.
I used to make bread and butter pudding for mine
... but there is no guarantee that they won't find someone who has a better recipe :rolleyes: - perhaps the apricots are the magic ingredient

Re: English Food
 

I actually don't have a recipe......I never weigh anything......I use fruited non spiced bread, add some extra golden sultanas. chopped dried apricots. cherries......whip up some eggs and sugar in some fresh milk and add an extra yolk to give it more colour and flavour.......let the buttered fruit bread stand in the custard for a while before I put it into the oven....... a sprinkle of nutmeg and then bake in a moderate oven until it feels 'springy'. serve hot with custard or ice cream...and don't be stingy with the servings.

Re: English Food
 

Oh .. so you think I am looking for a man eh ? :p
Don't think to get one is particularly through his stomach.

Would probably serve him strawberries and oysters anyway, as heard they are great aphrodisiacs. Bread and Butter pudding will only create fat bellies which slows 'em down a bit .. :D:D

Re: English Food
 

I like a man who takes his time.......(tantric thingy and all that) :D

Re: English Food
 

Me too Margaret......the longer the better:)

Re: English Food
 

Yeh, but a fat belly slows 'em down for the wrong reasons .. have to find it first .. :D

Re: English Food
 

me too i was thinking about it cold served with cream,,before i fell asleep last night :)

Re: English Food
 

Orange Marmalade is the only way:mosher:

Re: English Food
 

Quite right.-The way to a mans heart is through the handkerchief pocket ,_with a bread knife:hidewall:

Re: English Food
 

But be sure to wash the bread knife before making some more bread pudding:rolleyes:

Re: English Food
 

That's not hard ... show him a picture of the bread pudding and it will perk right up:D

Re: English Food
 

Cool ... never tried that one hope ok with Margaret P ..not copyright or owt .... :D

Re: English Food
 

No Katex...if it works then all well and good. Let me know how you get on :D

Re: English Food
 

[[email protected];552769]Margaret what did you make for supper this Sunday:) and can you take pictures:)

Re: English Food
 

Oh Tracy...we have eaten every bit.....we had roast beef, yorkshire pudding, steamed carrots and sprouts, a nice helping of garden peas, Roast and mashed spuds.....with a little trickle of the meat juices made into gravy.
Hubby had Strawberries and ice cream.......I was too stuffed to have a pud.....though I do have a Rhubarb crumble in the freezer.
There were five for Dinner today so there wasn't a crumb left over....normally if there is any of the joint left, I dice it and put it into a casserole for later in the week.

Re: English Food
 

it all sounds sooooo good,,,thankyou for telling me about it,,do you think next week you can take pictures of your dinner before your family gets to it:) or a pic of the crumble would be very cool
thanks from your fan in canada:D

Re: English Food
 

One of the easiest things i have cooked recently is Beef wellington, it looks like you slaved over a cooker for hours but only takes about 40 mins

Pre heat the oven to around 190 degrees (noit sure of the gas mark)

Get a six or severn ounce Lump of Fillet steak, season it with salt and pepper (and ASDA do something called Spice It Up which is great too) Cover it with a thickish layer of Pate. then put sliced mushrooms on top of that. Take some pre rolled puff pastry and place the steak in the middle of it then wrap it up with the pastry and seal all the edges down. brush it with egg yoke or milk and put it in the oven for 25 - 30 mins,
it goes lovely with another easy thing to make carmalized carrots, get a tray of baby carrotts cut the tops off, place flat in a frying pan and put COLD water in so it is about half way up the sides of the carrotts put in two large lumps of butter and cover in brown suger the cook on a medium to high heat for about 15 mins or until all the liquid has desolved and you're left with lovely glazed carrotts.

Re: English Food
 

hmm........ might have that for my tea on sunday :)

Re: English Food
 

carmellized baby carrots - can do that when i forget ive got them on the top of the oven ... ok the pans black and you have to soak it with a drop of vinegar in to get it clean again but it works!!!! :p
