That's a pic I really want to see. Preferably not with toenail clippings or cheese though.

Rick Stein covered it last week in his "Secret France" re-run. It's basically a Chitterlings sausage. Used to have Chitterlings as a kid, cold with loads of vinegar and white pepper yum

take something unpalatable. Chop it up. Season it. Cook it. Season it. Season it again. Season it with overpowering flavours. Season it again.

Now eat.

wink


That reminds me of tripe... had it on the specials menu at St John thinking that they'd do something special with it... not only was it ste it was expensive...

I don't think I'm going to do any research at all into how one might make faggots; there are some things a man doesn't want to know.

My local butcher makes the most amazing faggots. I'm now salivating over some with mash, peas and red cabbage.
Agreed, home made or even a pub lunch where the chef knows how to make them, caul n all, can be great.
Had some for the first time from a pub near Coalville in Leicestershire. They where gorgeous!! lick
Got some brains faggots from my local Sainsburys, Threw them out after the first mouthful! hurl

No offal here. A 28 degree day calls for salad.

I can cook rice, but when ever there is anything else but rice and water I fk it up.

Anyway, this popped into my head so worth a try, followed recipes online but should stick with my gut, needs much more flavour!

Lettuce tomato make little boats of food. Yum

How on earth anyone can get pissed off with Richie's posting is utterly beyond me - He may be having fun, he is not off-topic, & should be taken light-heartedly in the same manner that he is posting.

Some people are too serious for their own good! smile

that all depends as to whether it was intended as joke and whether you think it's funny.
Imagine being annoyed by a photo of some food and a pair of nailclippers.

I wish I had that much spare time and energy in my life. laugh

I was reading an article recently about some kind of horrific French sausage, anyone know what that was likely to be?

Andouille / Andouillette

I like haggis, etc but this is the limit. I rate it worse than surstr mming...
By contrast, the French really know their way around a black pudding.

I ate this at a tiny (10 covers) restaurant in St Germain while I was over for Le Crunch a couple of months back. The American tourists sitting next to us (regular visitors to 'Europe') looked like they were going to pass out when I explained what it was. The slices must have been a good 4-5" diameter, served with buttery mash and poached apples (tart as hell). Divine.

I'm just impressed with the consistency with which you manage to get peas into your meals.

Was this your work?

Worth it, and remarkably accessible. The broad bean starter there was among the best 'simple' dishes I've ever eaten.

Those m25er’s needed to know!

Peas are a vegetable, so why not throw them in with other veg. I do have limits to where they can go, but I’ve not discovered them yet…

Two slices about an inch thick each had me reaching for a Gaviscon digestif!

Just woofed this down..........



Cajun spiced bass and chive dressing on a bed of roast potato and sweet potato and Cavolo Nero





Wifey is an excellent cook in her own right but due to heavy workload we've been using Hello Fresh - 3 meals a week for two of us 30 quid. Really is good stuff. Everything in the box, all fresh and no waste.
