Thanks Clive.

Is that an iPhone pic. Your photos are always excellent. Point noted About 15 seconds :-)

Currently I have a F2.8 19mm Sigma for E mount Sony A5100 ( a small and cheap 24MP APS-C you can fit in your pocket ) used for landscapes mainly and food photography. It's pretty good sharpness wise but no image stabilisation and not that fast. Was a toss up for OSS with Sony lenses or none with Sigma and go to F1.4. I do have a small tripod though ( as the Mrs will confirm
) so lets see how the Sigma goes.For food photography colour balance is always my big issue. Never can get it right to what my eyes see. More practice needed.
As in cooking it is not the equipment that turns out the fine meal, it is the person using the equipment I fear. As long as having fun though....

As it was Friday decided to do a fish and chip supper. Tesco's doing a deal on 5 small frozen bits of cod. So I got those. Tin of 40p mushy peas. added.
Deep fat fryer and cheapest batter mix ever to hand .....
We had some chips in the freezer called Harvest Crunch, or Harvest Brunch. Crisps. Chips. Harvest Chunky Monkeys?????. You know when you see something like that it must have come from Lidl
For Lidl if it comes from the land then HARVEST. It comes from the sea, OCEAN.
A chicken dish is probably called Stratosphere. Such as Stratosphere Chicken Dippers...... Note you can get a chicken into the stratosphere if you shoot it out of a large canon, so they are technically correct.
So I have my cheap slap up fish and chip supper for two for less than a fiver and actually eaten just by me. You can't beat seconds/thirds.
I felt a real fat basterred afterwards but it was bloody yummy

Recipe please!
Tikka Kellybab:I didn’t want the chicken to be hot, the Indian’slaw had the heat. The following was mixed in a bowl with chicken thighs for a good few hours so the chicken took on a nice red colour.
1.5kg of thigh fillets
1 tbs garlic powder
1 ½ tbs smoked paprika
1 tbs garam masala
1 tbs salt
½ tbs of ground cumin
1” ginger grated
1 tbs of red food colouring
Juice of two lemons
2 tbs honey
2 tbs plain yogurt
All threaded on the rotisserie and cooked for an hour and a half, basting with lemon, salt and honey.
Indian’slaw:
2 tbs mustard seeds
½ tbs of turmeric
Red chili’s
Purple cabbage
8 >10 spring onions
2 carrots
Dry roasted peanuts
1 Pomegranate
Coriander
Chop the peanuts so a bit bigger than bread crumbs (I used a couple of pulses in the spice grinder)
Cook the mustard seeds in veg oil until they pop, then add the nuts and turmeric, mix a bit more oil and set to one side.
Chop the veg for a typical coleslaw and mix with the nut/mustard oil and put in the fridge until ready to eat, I added more chilli at the end for more heat.
Bombay Wedges:
Large baking potatoes (I picked the biggest I could get)
2 tbs Fenugreek leaves (crushed up)
½ tbs Smoked Paprika
1 tbs Nigella seeds
Turmeric
1tbs salt
Olive oil
These were done by twice-baking, so baked in foil for an hour (individually) then unwrapped and left to cool. I did these in the morning.
Once cool, cut into quarters and placed on lightly oiled baking paper (I used frylight as it gave a light coating) so none are touching (skin down)
The spices were mixed with enough oil to make to a consistency that it was ‘brushable’ to the potatoes.
Brush the potatoes and put in the oven (180>200) until crisped-up, remember they are already cooked so the last bit it purely for crisping and adding salty, spicy flavours too.
Dress the lot with a few more pomegranate seeds and coriander.
Hope that reads ok, just on my lunch eating something quite a bit blander than what I am describing!

Tikka kellybab with bombay wedges and and 'Indian'slaw'
Just showed this one to the whole family (we love this thread) this is our favourite so far, especially served with a good dollop of natural yogurt
Thanks and yes we had minted yogurt blobbed on our plates when served. It went down well, our three year old got stuck in too after she 'helped' me make it.Just showed this one to the whole family (we love this thread) this is our favourite so far, especially served with a good dollop of natural yogurt
