It was supposed to be Buttermilk boneless roast chicken.

I think they forgot the roasting part.

That's crispy skin and slimey semi cooked chicken.

Yes I did chop it up to see how bad it actually was.

Unfortunately not before I had given the misses a taste and as she hasn't got a tummy hardened by day old donner kebabs after a night on the booze like me she was sick for a few days after so defo never again.

Didn't pay, they didn't seem remotely interested in the state of it but then again service is normally st in there so I expected nothing less.

I'd be doing more than not paying, I'd be emailing that to their customer services and asking why their staff feel it is okay to be serving seriously undercooked chicken. If its as pink as it looks on my screen and I'm right in thinking those are tendons in a joint in the top right corner then that's a serious problem.

If that got brushed off then I'd have no hesitation in emailing to the local Environmental Health.

Cripes, that was disgusting. Agreed with above re Env Health, esp if his wife was ill, no question.

I've read about buttermilk chicken at other places. Some say it's pink because of the buttermilk and all is good. I think I'll have to try it to make my mind up.

Don't try pink chicken LOL! I've cooked enough buttermilk chicken to say pink is not how it should be.

Cheers Tony.

Hot, just let it rest before pushing it out the tin for 15 mins. I left it on a window ledge, bit of a cliché!

+1. There is no way that should leave the kitchen in that state. If their staff are really inept enough to under cook chicken and serve it that raw, they shouldn't be serving food. Environmental health would be interested in this.

As above, great pie. May I ask the type/size of pie dish. I assume you made a batch. Cheers

Thanks, no, just a one off.

I was home alone so I took the opportunity to use black pudding, my wife doesn't like it. I only found this out late in our relationship, I wish she would of been upfront when we first met!

Pie dish was the one linked below, plenty big enough for a two person pie. Took the rest in work on Monday.

That’s my solo pie dish

[FiF]

Amazing looking pie, got to try that.

Assume hot water crust. Some pork sausage meat in the mix too?

[Burwood]

Ditch the black pudding and it’s perfect.

Overnight in Brighton, and found this lovely steak place 'The coal shed'. Very good fillet, the ribeye was less so. Also ordered the burnt ends, wow!




And dinner last night on the promenade (place called Lucky Beach), probably the best burger I've ever had and she said the best F&C's she's had. Watching the sea roll in with the sunset probably helped though!

[Burwood]

The burger and fish look great.

Looks fab but I can just hear Gregg & John saying "perfect, needs a sauce"....

[Burwood]

I’ve really gone off those two amateurs.

The filling was:

Finely chopped shallots browned off, then chorizo and smoked lardons added to release the oil/fat. Chicken thighs cut up, browned in the chorizo oil. Chicken stock and fresh thyme added then cooked/reduced for 40 mins. Finally double cream and extra seasoning. This was left to cool.

The pastry was short crust with a bit more butter and a spoon of caster sugar.

I layered the dish with chicken/chorizo mixture then black pudding and parsley and so on. The thinking behind this was not to lose the black pudding in the sauce, I wanted it to stay together.

Egg wash to finish.

As for Gregg and John, don’t mind Gregg coming round…. John would get shooed off the drive like next-doors cat.

Yes, edited to add chicken thighs.
