Mahow's all new, all new, all new food thread

[Lewis]

A Scotch pie (which are crap and lack moisture) must be the worst pie to put in a sandwich, so that sounds like Scottish people being stupid.

[Giggles]

I'd never even heard of a scotch pie but I love the look of it.

I love a pie, sweet or savoury, that the shape stays in when you cut it.

[Ian]

Scotch pies are largely rubbish. Unless you have a particular fixation with mince there's no reason to recommend them over a steak pie.

[Baz]

I tried that with crumpets recently because that's all I had (Ian is right, my 'discoveries' are a result of not being arsed to go to the shop), it was a total disgrace and I was ashamed of myself. All the butter seeps through top and bottom and your hands become filth.

Who makes a burger with crumpets? Hahaha that’s awful.

AND BUTTERED THEM!

[Ian]

Sama's food adventures are quite the thing. Mixing all his Chinese into one pile of stuff is still the highlight.

[Disco]

Crumpets are one of those things were the cheaper they are the better. The different variations are also all vastly inferior, pikelets and those big square ones are ok in principle but actually they're just crap.

[Spikey M]

I’ve never seen a Scotch Pie before. It looks like a shit version of a Pork Pie. That said, even a shit attempt at a Pork Pie is better than no pie at all, so sign me up.

[Samadini]

As if you'd make crumpets without buttering them.

Scotch pies make me feel like I'm living in The Beano or The Dandy.

[Disco]

Yeah, once you've committed to the crumpet you have to butter them, I'm 100% with you there.

[Raoul Duke]

This Scotch Pie thing looks pikey as fuck.

[hfswjyr]

It's probably overkill, but putting a sausage roll into a well buttered roll is likely only going to elevate the experience. Although isn't a roll and sausage square slice in a roll? That might be through the looking glass to put things already in rolls into rolls.

Getting all pissy about carbs in carbs only leads you to that daft no vowel kiwi who questioned the idea of a chip buttie.

May as well have a rice sandwich while you're at it. Crazy.

[Boydy]

Burritos, mate.

[Kikó]

You'll love Dundee.

A rice sandwich wouldn't be epic like a chip sambo though, so there would be no point.

[Giggles]

Christmas shopping treat

Magnificent.

[Baz]

Calling it now lads, Wotsits are the best crisps.

[Giggles]

Calling it now lads, Wotsits are the best crisps.

They're not even crisps.

[SvN]

I feel like I need a shower after eating them.

[Disco]

I recently rediscovered salt and vinegar Squares, yet another crisp that would benefit from a bigger bag size. Mainly so I don't feel so ashamed when having to eat two bags.

[randomlegend]

Same. They are brilliant

[Spikey M]

The Shop up the road sells 99p ‘share bags’. You don’t share them, obvs, but they’re perfect. I have never seen them anywhere else BUT the flat above the shop is for sale so it really depends how invested you are in them.

[niko_cee]

Wotsits (or more specifically 'The Wotsit Trough') are/is one of the best things about (having) kids (parties).

[Lewis]

Chipsticks, bacon fries, them onion rings, Space Raiders... There is probably more consistency in non-potato crisps than there is in regular crisps.

[Spikey M]

Chipsticks, If we’re talking the powdery ones, are the don. Walkers fucking ruined them by buying Smiths out.

[Disco]

Monster Munch, although anything other than pickled onion marks you out as a deviant.

[Spikey M]

Pickled Onion Monster Munch are the work of the Devil. Space Raiders n’all.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pickled Onion Monster Munch are the work of the Devil. Space Raiders n’all.

One post for the theory to be proved.

[Spikey M]

I am not being called a deviant by fucking Mahow.

[Disco]

And he's absolutely right too.

[wullie]

I used to love Frazzles, but they messed around with the recipe and ruined everything. My best Christmas present would be a box of proper Frazzles and the old Irn-Bru chew bars where one side was so sour it'd drop a rhino.

[Disco]

The Sainsburys version of frazzles are great, they come in a bag big enough to make you ill if you eat them all at once and at least half of them are covered in a sickening amount of flavoury dusty stuff.

[Spikey M]

I went in the Butchers earlier to order Turkey, Ham and Beef for Christmas (not even home on the day, but I ain’t missing out) and grabbed a big Pork Pie and a bag of Pork Scratchings whilst I was in there. What a night I have in store.

[Ian]

Snaffling Pig pork scratchings are where it's at.

[igor_balis]

Working my way through a Rick Stein South East Asian book, did this the other day:

https://thehappyfoodie.co.uk/recipes...aves-amok-trey

Fucking quality, quite unlike anything i've had before. Never really thought much of SEAsian food until recently, but it's class. My first ever pad thai was a success, too.

[igor_balis]

The only thing I really use specialist butchers for is black pudding, the bury black company stuff that's so ubiquitous in supermarkets is proper rubbish.

[Mike]

Feeling rubbish so I’ve made a Shepard’s pie for tea. Smells amazing

[Samadini]

Chipsticks, If we’re talking the powdery ones, are the don. Walkers fucking ruined them by buying Smiths out.

Supermarket brand ones are still class. Just been to the shop and didn't pick up any crisps. Just read this page and I am now seething.

[Pleb]

I just had lamb meatballs with stir fry veg

[Samadini]

Just seen that real man's Toblerone in Morrison's (not for sale, just in a raffle). If that's really just one giant Toblerone and not a fucking scam like the huge galaxy and dairy milk things that just contain 8 normal pathetic size bars then I want one

I don't understand how you're supposed to eat it, or finish it, or anything about it really. Looks amazing.

[Giggles]

I vote leave.

So I was involved in an online secret santa and today received my present from someone in Switzerland. The box was all wet and I could tell something inside had leaked so I had to open it early. Now I’ve got all this weird stuff:



Thankfully it came with instructions.

Züri Tirggel (hard biscuits made with honey)
Bündner Nusstorte (walnut cake)
Birnbrot (bread made with pears)
Basler Läckerli (traditional Swiss pastries)
Ovomaltine (crunch cream spread and biscuits)
Aromat Knorr Streuwürze (all purpose savoury seasoning which apparently no Swiss person can go without, aka THE drug for Swiss people)
Swiss chocolate (chocolate from Switzerland)

Any of this good stuff, @phonics?

[SvN]

What leaked?

[Baz]

What leaked?

A bottle of beer.

[Offshore Toon]

Male a coronation chicken sandwich with that pear bread.

Züri Tirggel (hard biscuits made with honey) German, no idea probably shit.
Bündner Nusstorte (walnut cake) German but I know what this one is. Disgusting.
Birnbrot (bread made with pears) Gross
Basler Läckerli (traditional Swiss pastries) - Dry as fuck
Ovomaltine (crunch cream spread and biscuits) - This stuffs like Nutella if you replaced Hazelnut with more Cocoa power.
Aromat Knorr Streuwürze (all purpose savoury seasoning which apparently no Swiss person can go without, aka THE drug for Swiss people) - This is good
Swiss chocolate (chocolate from Switzerland) - meh

Any of this good stuff, @phonics?

My review

[Baz]

My review

Way to spoil Christmas.

Next you’ll be telling me Romansh hip-hop outfit Liricas Analas are rubbish and I won’t enjoy the album he got me.

[phonics]

I'll stay quiet then.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Christ just had flashbacks to when I got into MC Solaar for a week about 12 years ago. What a time to be alive.

French hip-hop probably isn't as bad as French other things.

[phonics]

Late 90s - Early 00s French Hip-Hop is better than most stuff tbh.

'Solaar Pleure'

[Jimmy Floyd]

Directement, j'suis allé chez Lucie
Qui aime les chiens, les chats et Trente Millions d'Amis
Elle me dit : "T'aimes les animaux, toi mon super M.C. ?"
J'ai dit: "Oui j'adore, avec du sel et bien cuits!"

Ah, more innocent times.
