Poppy Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Perhaps they should simply say 'chips with toppings'. That way everyone would understand, notv just the trendy, hipster Range Rover driving mob they seem to be setting out thir stall for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Steak and ale pie; decent, beer battered cod & chips;' proper' ploughmans without meaningless trimmings; proper bangers and mash (not creamed or pulverised); top notch hot dogs and clean chips; Caribbean style jerk beef or whatever; beef wellington followed by a decent apple pie and custard, that makes me a happy chappy! Top of the list, a decent pint and a decent ploughmans, not too much to ask, is it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cook it rare so a good vet could bring it back to life,finely chopped mushrooms fine dice shallots cooked salt black pepper.set aside with the fillet allow to cool.a good homemade pate puff pastry. Best homemade,or a good all butter puff pastry. Chive pancakes.wrap the fillet using the pancakes coat the fillet in the mushroom mix and pate use egg to act as glue and colour. Make sure the beef is wrapped allow to cool and set in the fridge for at least half an hour.Cook.in a hot oven 180/200c check after about 10 minutes reduced the temp to 160-170.Make sure pastry is crisp,total cooking about 30 40 mins.allow to rest,serve with seasonal veg and roast spuds,and a rich red wine sauce.Not for the faint hearted but a true classic. A tip before you start with the beef take from.the fridge about half an hour (room temp). 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll need to find a wine that’ll match the dominant flavour, although the best pairing will vary, look for wines with medium body—Côtes du Rhône, Barbera, Merlot, Chardonnay—because they stand up to bold flavours without overpowering the potatoes.... why not try this merlot???
