Salad cream ??? Marmite ??? What's your foodie weird things

[ZRX61]

Apparantly: having beans on toast is weird.....


I thought it was a true british staple!

The ex-pats over here are obsessed with the Heinz variety, & pointing out that Bushes brand are FAR superior is regarded as treason.

I add tinned pineapple chunks to my Chilli in the slow cooker. About 30 mins before serving.

Everyone says it sounds rubbish. But it all gets eaten !?

Chocolate grated into chili, lush

I can’t cope with mixing main course and pudding on the same plate eg gammon/pineapple, pork/apple sauce, turkey/cranberry.

On a similar theme, people who visit the buffet and put both their dinner and dessert on the same plate. Without meaning to stereotype, it's mainly overweight Americans who do this, I suppose to avoid the exertions of heaving their obese bodies off the chair once again.

Eat the dessert first, then go back for the main course. Why would anyone fill up on taters instead of puddin'?

Before or after the Old El Paso shaker mix goes in?

Do they?
My experience of authentic Mexican food wasn't great, it was a bland mess of beans with a tiny bit of meat.

Pah, worked in the industry to know how to make up a chilli mix from scratch

They can/do use cocoa mass - so bitter dark pre chocolate

I like fruit in curry, a bit of peach or pineapple, maybe some raisins. Lush.

I think the Kashmiris (and poss Gujaratis) do the fruity curry thing. (IIRC Vesta chicken curry had raisins in).

As an aside, the owner of a place we used to use in Bradford always laughed merrily at the popularity of the 'chicken Madras'. 'Ho ho ho! They're all vegetarians in Madras!'.

Chocolate isn't sweet after all. Chocolate bars are, but Cocoa itself is bitter isn't it? Well its actually a lot of things...

Somewhere at the back of the cupboard I've got the Green & Black's Chocolate cookbook, there's a whole section on savoury Chocolate recipes.

The missus likes the Lindt 90% and Chococo 100% stuff. It's not chocolate as we know it and anyone that's tried eating cooking chocolate expecting it to be like Cadburies is in for a shock.

[Mr. Dazzle]

If you're cooking I find this stuff great.

AFAIK though 'traditional' cooking chocolate has a different ratio of carb/fat/protein to 100% cocoa eating chocolate.

[Screwdriver]

Never liked Mayo until I tried the Polish stuff below. I dislike tomato ketchup, but would have the Polish one as it's got a hint of spice about it.

Wow! Ok you're not wrong. Just tried some and it is in fact awesome.

Thanks!

Guess I'll give the ketchup a try too...

[Taipan]

This is the one I got before. I.m not a fan of tomato s@uce normally as it’s so sweet but I did use this one a couple of times.

[Mr. Dazzle]

The sweetness thing is 'cause Ketchup has been adulterated into a shadow of what it should be, chiefly by adding sugar.

If you buy fancy pretentious stuff from Farmers Markets etc it's way better

[Taipan]

For me it’s more that I can never think of anything that tomato sauce would be better on than a brown sauce?

I don't often agree with you, but in this instance you are absolutely correct

[Mr. Dazzle]

Meh, most brown sauce falls into the same "adulterated pish" category anyway. It's supposed to be tamarind date sauce, most of it is caramel vinegar sauce.

[Didge]

Toast, or freshly baked bread, with a generous amount of butter, and topped off with a thick layer of Bovril. Farkin' lovely.
