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

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?

it's just a brand, i've had it before, tastes like butter... because it is butter

I believe it.

Not just a brand, also a type. Its danish cultured butter. Very nice.

You can tell it's cultured because the mascot owns a trombone.

looool

You forgot to garnish that salad with cheesy footballs.

That salad is the sort of thing ppl sometimes do on come dine with me and they're really confident that it'll win them the competition, as theyre cooking they say to camera "I came up with it myself, the secret is to put pringles in the soup" and then later it cuts to one of the horrified guests going "it tasted a bit like he put...pringles...in the soup?"

"serve in a ceramic sombrero with loads of cheetos!"

i have noticed people trying to make hot dogs happen of late, it's true. maybe start off by not using those horrible inflatable sausages, i dunno

really hope at some point there's a faction insisting on "frankfurter" or maybe such "franks"

do Americans eat sausage rolls? How to make those trendy?

xp the big innovation over the previous 5 years has been the proliferation of Brats and Bocks, some of which i've actually found edible and similar to their German cousins

how do you make a sausage roll?

you push it down a hill

One reason for hot dogs’ surge may be that they are priced below other options. According to the Menurama research, hot dogs’ average price of £6.12 ($10.21) is lower than that for any other item in the Top 20 for restaurants. Across all segments, hot dogs average £7.14, compared with £9.42 for a burger, £10.02 for pizza, £9.66 for fish & chips and £8.26 for perennial favorite sausage & mash.

Who the fuck pays £6.12 for a hot dog?

where the fuck charges those prices? is that Loldon weighting?

i guess they're "restaurant" prices rather than takeaway but still

yeah US style diners are a thing in London, you can kid yourself you're not eating at a declasse fast food joint while gorging on fatty junk food.

everyone's a winner.

also: bottles of over-priced US "craft" beer

I really, really do wish that Not Dogs or Tofu Pups or whatever would become a thing in Britain, though.

Well, there's always the vegetarian hot dogs at Ikea...

That would involve going to Ikea. I am NEVER going within the biosphere of Croydon ever again.
