Beefsteak 305 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Just had some Salmon and Cucumber butties for my lunch. Proud to report there's still over half the mixture left for another day, not so proud to report that I'm all bunged up at the moment (Man Flu) and can't taste a flaming thing, including that rather fine Beef Wellington I made us for dinner yesterday. 20 quids worth of fillet steak down the swanney there !!

.... 23 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 On of my favourite sandwiches ever was the prawn and cream cheese ones they used to serve in the Lion Hotel on Clumber Street, fantastic. Love crab also - both white and brown meat Sausage and egg with 'broon' sauce - delicious Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I wish my dinner would hurry up and come, reading this thread's making me famished. Prawn and cream cheese sounds tasty, Stu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,326 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Ok Michael - I admit to putting tomato sauce on it too It was yesterday's leftovers. I don't believe in throwing good food away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,326 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I used to put cucumber and onion into vinegar to soak for a few hours and then make a cheese sandwich with on/cu as a topping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I don't believe in throwing good food away A light-hearted remark perhaps but I've always been of the same mind. Sure it was the way I was brought up, 'Waste not, want not'. I can be less than thrifty with some things but still, to this day, find that attitude difficult with food. Back strictly on topic. A favourite 'sandwich' of mine is an Italian-style large ciabatta roll with mozzarella cheese and tomato. Add good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar, fresh basil and salt and pepper. Like to buy the ciabatta rolls ready to bake and eat them whilst still warm if possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was a very regular custom in our house, Compo. Must have been a local Arnold thing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,326 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I really DON'T believe in throwing food away. I make use of everything wherever possible. Any "Waste" is put into compost to feed the ground to grow more food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,326 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Maybe Stu. My gran used to do it and she was born in Arnold in Victorian times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Onion and cucumber in a bowl of brown vinegar (with a dash of sugar?) was also a regular on our table on a Sunday night...cold meat, salad, celery sticks etc. My folks were Sneinton, Lacemarket and West Bridgeford background with Sheffield imports so Arnold can't claim the rights on this one. Parents continued the tradition at RoT and Aunts and Uncles likewise in Bilborough and Beeston. Also fruit for desert, tinned pears, peaches etc with bread and butter. Saw a bumped post recently re bread and butter with desserts and it brought back the memories! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor S 2,003 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 It was said in fun as well. Arnold had the ACHS........the greatest seat of learning that the United Kingdom has ever known and I had the privilege to enjoy as one of the first pupils through it's portals.

jackson 301 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Cucumber and onion, soaked in vinegar, salt and pepper, was definately not just an Arnold delicacy - as Trevor has shown. My grandma who lived (in a double ) on Aspley Lane, must have qualified for making the best dish of cucumber and onion ever. She'd make the concoction after Sunday dinner, then place the dish in her vast walk-in pantry, ready for afternoon tea. I recall popping in at the pantry door just to catch the smell of the simple concoction. I'm telling you, its fragrance was such a beautiful experience that it's stayed with me up until today.
