so i was at dinner with a britisher. she ordered a prawn and rocket pizza. when it came, she put ketchup on it. I have pics

anything you can accurately simulate by mixing ketchup and mayo is leaning on the sickly side imo

it's not simulation, that's the thing, k&m actually is the recipe

i made cocktail sauce from scratch once (one of the ingredients was ketchup) and it was pretty indistinguishable from store bought stuff

yeah and it's not leaning either, it fully inhabits the fucking sickly side xp

xp with alcohol?

the sauce is finessable imo

nah not with alcohol, and the pot of horseradish i had on hand was a bit old too. might give it a go w/ fresher ingredients next

yeah u fucked up dun

the fuck is this 'za' ting

stop trying to make za stop happening

rtc doesn't regret za

like Piaf, no regrets

za: nu-Piaf

MUGABE

Its a fuckin disgrace, but cf trainspotting im in no place to complain, the fuckers conquered us for centuries on that diet

You're in no place to complain because the Irish diet is arguably worse.

this person seems not so much a "Britisher" as a "disgusting savage" ime

fuckin prawns on pizza jfc

You wouldn't catch an Irishman putting prawn and rocket on a spud.

maybe cocktail sauce is different in the states but here it's basically ghastly pinkish tangy mayonnaise = gross

proper cocktail sauce has no trace of mayonnaise, or even oil. it's just ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, worcestershire, vinegar-based hot sauce of some sort. plus whatever else you might want. minced scallion or onion can be nice. some people like a little sugar (savages). good w shrimp.

no version is "proper", don't lower the tone

Is there a thread for foods savages eat?

Paleo

go the whole hog, nouveau prawn cocktail, steak and chips and Black Forest gateau menu

I had a Black Forest gateau for my birthday cake, it was delicious. Bring on the revival. (Needs lots of Kirschwasser though, none of that wimpy alcohol-free Sara Lee stuff.)

Not really against prawns on pizza (can't imagine ordering it though) but shells/tails on is a weird choice. But, where was this restaurant? Not fair to blame Britishers if it's on an American menu, as presumably some of the locals would need to eat it for it to be viable to keep the prawns in stock.

Black Forest gateau is one of my favourite desserts full stop but i don't think i've ever been lucky enough to try a boozy one

yeah me neither. let's go to Germany!

currywurst & Black Forest gateau sounds like a proper meal

otm

gah 10am and I'm salivating

pizza is just cheese on toast - not something to police.

otm obv

Theres a gourmet pizza chain here that does dessert pizzas (obv they dont have cheese and tomato on them) that do a black forest one, as it happens.

I mean, add some more crust and it could be like cheesecake, no?

(But it sounds more gimmicky, to be honest.)

Sounds fitting. :D

Sometimes I like to read these threads out to my (American) wife and it's a really great way to pass an evening.

Would be interesting to see what these 'pizzas' have, considering some people call pizzas 'pies'. I guess it's not too far-fetched.

glad you're back, buddy!

My personal recipe for a great summer salad:

Mix together in bowl, not on plate

1. salad leaves: fresh spinach, lamb's lettuce, watercress with stalks cut off
2. melt a table-spoon of lurpak butter into the salad leaves
3. add a squeeze of lime juice
4. grate plenty of extra mature cheddar on top
5. layer on thin slices of sweet emerald green tomatoes
6. plus sugar-drop tomatoes, these cut into 4, length & crossways
7. drizzle on some Harissa dressing (best not to overdo it,
I prefer Sainsburys taste the difference, but if you like it really hot: use Belazu Rose Harissa)
8. mix in a little extra virgin olive oil
9. and some sainsburys tomato puree with hint of garlic
10. and a scoop of pequillo pepper dip
11. and an smaller scoop of beetroot tzatziki
12. then add one packet of Marks & Spencers classic beef jerky
(this is the soft kind anyway, but to prevent any excess chewiness, should be cut into small pieces first)
13. cut up a few sugarsnap peas and toss 'em in too
14. sprinkle some chilli flakes, and grind plenty of salt & pepper, over everything.
15. toss together

lurpak

`\o_O/`

seriously that salad sounds terrifying

and I *like* the recognizable ingredients!

mystified by the oscillations from enticing to bleagh and back again. you start out all, "fresh spinach, lamb's lettuce," yeah that sounds good, i bet lambs know what's up with lettuce. and suddenly you're awash in drizzled lurpak. "thin slices of sweet emerald green tomatoes" makes me want to eat it NOW, but they only occurs between waves of cheese, harissa and beetroot tatziki. and beef jerky.

(with affection, campari. i'm sure it's delicious, that we are uncomprehending apes before your wisdom-bearing salad monolith.)

seriously it's like something out of a lovecraft story. the horrible accumulation of ingredients! xp

wait, I assumed that post was a comedy recipe

pretty sure campari g&t is crazy and from great britain.

oh i hope it is a comedy recipe!!

please let it be comedy. who puts tomato puree in salad

i have been not-really-vegetarian-because-i-still-eat-fish (NRVBISEF) for a while now, but i still occasionally experience a faint twinge of jerky lust. then i am ashamed.

I have just farted, I'm really sorry.

were some people confused what Lurpak is, or.

is it butter?
