    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    Made this last night. Wasn't quite such a sucess as the goat curry recipe but I cut a few corners so maybe that's why. The lime juice at the end certainly lifts it into a new realm. The kids I was feeding made a pretty good effort with it though so that's a good sign in terms of general...

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    You'd have thought Glasgow could provide if Cambridge could but maybe not. I saw some suggestion on the net that Tescos do them, but you can definitely get them on Ebay! If you can be arsed with typing I'd probably have a go at that lamb curry...

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    Aw man, it was good. As a crap ex-chef I can vouch for this recipe because I didn't expect it to be quite so tasty, but it seems to have been pretty foolproof. It wasn't as punishingly hot as I'd feared, the meat was tender and when I went to season it I found it just didn't need anything. It...

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    It's on the stove! Takes a while, doesn't it? Think it might be fearsomely hot too. Thanks for the offer of allspice, that's very kind. I had to try a few places but I found some in the end. Had to use mutton too because the goat meat the butcher had was frozen, but I might make it again soon...

    Alcoholic hot drinks

    On the spiced cider tip, that stuff certainly helped on a slightly doomed camping trip with my ex this time about two years ago in the Wye Valley somewhere. I was a bit sceptical because it was just one of those glass jugs of tourist cider and a few bits and bobs (I'd guess at ginger, orange...

    You people are freaks! But, as a fussy carnivore, you have my respect.

    Not much love for Moir on Twitter today, as you may be aware. Stephen Fry tweets: "I gather a repulsive nobody writing in a paper no one of any decency would be seen dead with has written something loathesome and inhumane."

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    Just sourced some allspice berries, which I took to be the major obstacle to making this recipe here in East Anglia, so this is going to happen. I always wanted to cook a good goat curry since I was at Treeworgey Tree Fayre and saw a very tall, long-limbed, wild-eyed, black-clad man running from...

    Actually when I say excellent production standards I mean a greatly enhanced ability to hear the flaws in my music, and a patience to edit out and tinker with born of being too stoned to do anything else.

    The giggling lunacy is what I miss from my first days of smoking. Now all I get is the fear and excellent production standards.

    I'm not saying I look like Phil Collins, because I don't, right, but I do maybe ever so slightly look like my avatar. I did meet IdleRich the other week and he asked me quite cautiously (or so I thought) who it was...

    Well, obviously I like it a bit... My thing is beer+dope really. I should be posting in the addiction thread but I'm feeling like Bubbles in The Wire where he isn't quite ready to go to the meeting. :eek:

    Never could stand the stuff. Been smoking since '85. I'm an idiot.

    Hello. Was great to meet some Dissensians the other night and apologies for reading more than writing round here.

    Post me a song you like that's new to you...

    Was just thinking it would be weird to be Muddy Waters or Willie Dixon or someone and see The Stones or Led Zep selling the blues to white American kids, just cos a few times lately I keep feeling like twenty-odd Americans are trying to sell me something that's trying to be New Order or even...

    Post me a song you like that's new to you...

    Jeez. Now I know how Muddy Waters felt. I say that as a British 80s kid rather than ...uh... anything else. Think Ariel and that lass were a bit closer than Myspace friends.
