Dinner of the Day.

[pattycakes_]

I could cook you a roast beef dinner so good you'll cry tears of joy.

Hit me up next time you're in Devon.

Sunday roast is a crowing achievement of man. Roast spuds, Yorkshire puds and stuffing covered in gravy. All the rest, too. Tough choice between that and crispy aromatic duck with pancakes as my favourite meal ever.

You've fallen for the propaganda... that's exactly what they want you to think.

But he's a Dutchman that lives in Germany!

I'm very suspicious of people who like roasts. I consider it on a par with spousal abuse. Rings alarm bells.

 

[IdleRich]

hold on: I'm Portuguese and grew up with linguiça and chouriço in nearly every dish! what's not to love about a linguiça pizza, chouriço sandwich, pieces thrown into any soup, etc.?

These are all great things but they are a different type of thing to a British (or German) sausage. I enjoy them as different things but they can't replace bangers.

before my wife went pescatarian, we used to do the occasional Sunday roast and I beyond the food itself, I loved the whole ordeal. plenty of time to cook on Sunday, use every pot and pan in the house, enjoy a glass of wine or two while cooking, make a total mess in the kitchen, and then sit down for a huge tasty feast and more wine. then often an afternoon nap. the perfect cold-weather Sunday.

true.

It's very powerful propaganda

Carniphobe!

Says the guy who puts grated cheese on everything

 

[luka]

It tastes nice. Bet it's good with gravy too.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Cheese and gravy are like sex and comedy - two things that are both great, when they're done right at least, but which don't necessarily go well together.

Tonight I just reheated some of the mushroom and veg curry from the other day. If anything it was even better. I've found this strongly aromatic or spiced dishes in the past, that they sometimes improve with a couple of days sat in the fridge. Anyone else found this?

 

[IdleRich]

It tastes nice. Bet it's good with gravy too.

True. In my local restaurant they do a pica pau with cheese on top which can't be traditional but works.

 

[IdleRich]

Yeah, stews or anything with stuff steeped in tasty liquid tends to improve with time I think.

 

[luka]

Curry things always taste better the day after. Other things too sometimes. Maybe flavours mellow and meld more I dunno

 

[Mr. Tea]

I like the idea that it takes time for the flavours to 'marry up', as they say. An (al)chemical wedding.

 

[IdleRich]

Here is the curry as we ate it

 

[luka]

What happened with the photography? You used to be famous for those out of focus shots

 

[IdleRich]

Some days the sun shines on a dog's arse...

 

[Leo]

absolutely, soups and stews or any sauces are always better the next day. I guess it gives time for the flavors to meld and get richer.
