Re: What is your favourite meal.
 
Favorite meal for me is home made cauliflower cheese with lots of extra strong cheese, dijon and english mustard, nutmeg and black pepper in the sauce, with a breaded Parmesan crust. Streaky bacon cooked with garlic, rosemary and thyme till crispy, with a nice big juicy steak. With a side of rocket with balsamic and garlic (honey, grain mustard etc) dressing. Washed down with a good bottle of red.

The joys of an allotment, the abundance of fresh herbs. I very rarely use the dried stuff if I can help it. I have to be very careful with spices, they tend to kill me (Crohn's).

English food can be very bland so I try to use what I can to make things more palatable and a bit more different (anything to help with a non existent appetite) as I don't get to eat much normally due to the Crohns.

No my friend has Crohns and it is very difficult for sufferers of it and what they can eat.

Steak for me too, but surely all those takeaway favourites should be in the list? Fish & chips, burger, pizza, kebab?

You've just spoiled a cut of meat. If a steak doesn't bray when I stick the fork in it's overdone.

tweetiepooh 09-06-2011 13:00
Re: What is your favourite meal.
 
Favourite food depends on the mood, I like lots of those choices.

Curry - proper home style not the greasy ghee rich stuff too common in restaurants. Boiled rice or roti, dhal, onion and tomato salad. (Goat curry -- mmmm!)
Roasts - beef and lamb (and duck) nice and rare, hasselback cut roasties, veg with some squeeck not boiled into submission.
Steak - very blue, some thick cut chips and salad.
Noodle soups - lovely
Game - pheasant, partridge, rabbit, grouse, venison, boar it's all good. Cooked to suit the cut, had nice muntjac saddle roasted wrapped in bacon.
Pasta - use good quality pasta with enough rich sauce to coat and flavour, 750g of mince should make enough bolgenaise for 10 or more people easily.
Jerked food is nice.
Salad can be good too.
Sos and mash but again need good quality sos. Boerwors with pap is the South African version. Need a rich tomato sauce to go with.

I don't think there is any type of food I'd want all the time. I like variety but would tend to more seasoned foods.

Re: What is your favourite meal.
 
A medium-rare fillet steak, sauteed field mushrooms, grilled tomato and 2x cooked fries.
Or... a close second is a Full English (with no beans, hash browns or sauasage of any kind), grapefruit, orange juice, cereal, toast, tea and more more toast and tea.
And good company. Oh and a nice view.
