StephenFord 866 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Nah , not like the olden days, doesn't stop me eating them though. I hope this doesn't get me banned from the site for heresy, but I believe there are some places in the West Midlands (Cradley Heath sort of area) where they still make proper faggots. And if anybody wants a day out to get some decent meat from a proper old- fashioned butcher, go to Ryans in Much Wenlock - not particularly expensive either. Their meat pies are to die for.

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Stu, never in a million years would I have thought that anyone ate a mushy pea sandwich (#50)...lol. I can remember years ago when I went to a company in Yorkshire and as I was there during the lunch break they invited me to their canteen. I had a nice meal and fancied some rice pudding. The lady put my rice pudding in a dish and asked me if I'd like some custard over it. I was amazed but she said that it was normal for Yorkshire people to have rice pudding and custard. Has anyone else heard of this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Paulus, I love beetroot. I could eat it with anything...except rice and custard, that is (#52)....lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Re Beetroot, I got a bit carried away when Morrisons had a Bog off on large jars going a year or two back. I bought 5 so ended up with 10 large jars !! It wasn't till I proudly got it home that I discovered that SWMBO and the kids didn't like it ............AAAAGH ! (Any body want 8 large jars of Beetroot ??) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 How come it is with pickled beetroot that the crinkle cut stuff tastes better (well it does to my taste buds anyway)? Once grew my own beets and pickled them - fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Can't stand beetroot, has an "earthy" taste to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I remember the big bread strike of the late 70's and had to buy Ryebread for my snap, although tasty it was like cardboard, and very limiting to what you can slap between two "boards" I ended up with cheese spreads of meat spreads on it. Wished I'd known how easy it was to make bread back then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Limey 242 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yep, beetroot sandwiches for me too! Last spring I pickled some red cabbage - it works really well on cheddar cheese in a sandwich. "Proper" pickled beets and cabbage are hard to find here - they add sugar to the vinegar to make a sweet syrup - yuck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 What about Stilton & mango chutney? or Salami & Brie? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I had a Philly cheese and roast chicken flavoured crisp buttie for my lunch today Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I don't like salami but I Have a nice big piece of Stilton in the fridge. I grew some very mild salad onions (Bonus F1) this year and I shall be treating myself to Stilton and onion butties over the next few weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Tin of Salmon, mix it with some vinagar salad cream and mayo, slices of cucumber. Now that's living.!! PS am I the only one that prefers tinned Salmon to fresh ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I got a nice big piece of Stilton at Costco this week! Haven't broken into it yet - but Stilton is fab for stuffing olives for Martinis (real ones, lots of gin and a look at the Vermouth bottle, make mine dirty) - it also works really well on grilled salmon!

mick2me 3,033 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I prefer fresh salmon Hot. Microwaves in minutes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Tinned salmon for sandwiches, otherwise fresh. I love grilled salmon but the other week I made a salmon stir-fry that was delicious! Never thought of putting it in the microwave! Strange unnoticed that as a kid we never had salmon - I don't think we could afford it. Even the canned stuff was expensive! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 We had tinned Pink Salmon mixed with fresh breadcrumbs to make it go further. A small tin would do the whole family, if we were lucky, on each festive occasion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
