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

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jalapeno and cheese ones are some of the best crisps ever made.

[Lewis]

I had some of the medium ones and they were too hot.

[Boydy]

'Mayonnaise is too spicy'

[Pepe]

I had some of the medium ones and they were too hot.

:harold:

[Jimmy Floyd]

The jalapeño and cheese ones are also great, and once again their genius is that they actually taste like jalapeño and cheese.

Haven't seen any others but then I shop in fucking Chertsey so there is no doubt a wider world out there.

[Ian]

I appear to have entirely misremembered the conversation about the chicken ones, was it in fact only me who doesn't care for them?

[Disco]

No, I thought they were crap as well.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've never tried them.

[Boydy]

They're okay but they've got nothing on the jalapeno and cheese ones.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I was more comparing them to every other chicken crisp ever made.

[Giggles]

They're the best ones. Which is quite a feat considering the jalapeno ones are so nice.

Are there multi packs of these? I need to stock up for Christmas by the end of the month.

Duck, chicory, dauphinoise and red wine sauce :)

Come back when it's in crisp form.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It looks lovely but surely all the liquid's going to run off the edge of that discus off which you are eating it.

[Giggles]

Poor choice of plate.

[randomlegend]

I don't know why the photo makes the plate look completely flat, it isn't:

https://i.imgur.com/OMRt7r2.jpg?1

Same plate (different colour).

[Giggles]

It's the colour I meant.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's the colour I meant.
Pastels are all the rage.

[Baz]

Anything wasabi-flavoured should be put straight in the bin, for risk of your nose being blown off. Those wasabi covered nut things are the worst culprit for that.

[randomlegend]

Almost all 'wasabi' in this country is just horseradish dyed green.

[Giggles]

Tastes fuck all like the real stuff too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Almost all 'wasabi' in this country is just horseradish dyed green.

I was telling people this on Saturday.

What lives we lead.

[Boydy]

It looks lovely but surely all the liquid's going to run off the edge of that discus off which you are eating it.

This does my head in. I bought a crockery set from ikea a little while ago and the plates are completely flat. Absolutely useless for anything with any sort of sauce.

[Spikey M]

I was telling people this on Saturday.

What lives we lead.

Well, they're your therapy sessions I guess.

[Baz]

This just came through the door:

Thoughts?

[Giggles]

All in on that. Much better than the one my local does with a mini pizza thing as the top bun of the burger.

EDIT: Like how the fuck are you meant to eat that?

https://i.imgur.com/LjymmOn.jpg

[Ian]

I might be being an idiot but I'm not sure what that "burgerizza" actually is.

[niko_cee]

It looks like some sort of abominable calzone.

[Pepe]

All in on that. Much better than the one my local does with a mini pizza thing as the top bun of the burger.

:lol:

[Lewis]

I would go for what Baz posted, but that other thing is horrific.

[mugbull]

Got the Last Dab hot sauce a couple weeks ago and have been dabbing it on my dinners every third or fourth day. It's fire and I noticed myself building up a tolerance. Tastes like curry.

[phonics]

Bought a couple of these bad boys today:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Atriau.JPG/1200px-Atriau.JPG

No idea how to cook them yet but the description of them as a form of pork wrapped in pork was too good to ignore.

[Boydy]

What are they?

[Giggles]

I thought hearts when I first looked.

[phonics]

After googling they're something specific to Geneva apparently. They're called 'Atriaux' (which I think is something like an Aorta or however you spell it so Giggles might be right). I'd say whats in them but I'm awful at translating food.


Les atriaux sont composés de viande hachée (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viande_hach%C3%A9e) de porc (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porc) frais, de foie (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie) de porc haché, de persil (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persil) et d'épices (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89pice), le tout façonné en boulettes et emballé dans une crépine (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr%C3%A9pine_(cuisine)) de porc

I think that's saying it's mince pork (well technically viande hachee is like hamburger meat so I'm not sure if that's different), 'foie' which I think just means fat (purely a guess based off foie gras) and I think a crepine is some sort of organ? I'm not sure.

edit: Turns out foie = liver and crepine = strainer so I'm still not sure.

[niko_cee]

Looks like a faggot.

Foie is liver.

:cab:

[Giggles]

Looks like a faggot.



That'll be the space trainers.

[phonics]

Looks like a faggot.

Foie is liver.

:cab:

Yeah my French is weird, I can speak reasonably fluently but my vocabulary is abysmal as I've learnt it all through conversation so when anything technical/specific turns up I'm fucked.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's just a meatball (with offal) wrapped in caul fat.

Cook it, the caul fat will disappear but help to keep the whole thing nice and moist.

[phonics]

I'm doing it in Bratensauce with mushrooms and then some mash potato and broccoli on the side.

[Spikey M]

Yeah my French is weird, I can speak reasonably fluently but my vocabulary is abysmal as I've learnt it all through conversation so when anything technical/specific turns up I'm fucked.

Foie Gras is pretty fucking international.

[randomlegend]

Yeah but foie gras is essentially a fatty liver, so it would be easy to think foie meant fat and gras meant liver or something if you didn't know.

[phonics]

Foie Gras is pretty fucking international.

What's the English word for Foie Gras so I'd have a translation to rely on?

[Lewis]

Fag got.

[Jimmy Floyd]

One of the chapters in the Alan Partridge book begins 'I'm sat in the Gatwick branch of Ready To Munch', proper tea-spitter of a line.

[Spikey M]

What's the English word for Foie Gras so I'd have a translation to rely on?

What's the translation for Pizza?

[phonics]

What's the translation for Pizza?

Pie.

[Lewis]

They wish.

[Spikey M]

Love a bit of steak and ale pizza. Good job I know the translation so I know what to expect.

[Disco]

Whatever the true meaning I think we can all agree they're better with gravy.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This could be a heretical thing to say, but I quite like the look of battered sprouts, and before I resume my annual campaign against pigs in blankets, the battered version of those look better as well.

[phonics]

Who can be anti pigs in blankets?

[Disco]

Muslims.

And Jews for that matter, perhaps that can finally bring them together.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm not doing the full argument again, but PiBs a) have a shit name and b) are too much of a good thing and unbalance the plate.

On their own I can just about accept them.

[Ian]

Leftover 'PIBs' are one of the best things about Christmas.

[Pepe]

*Figs in a blanket.

[Giggles]

*Figs in a blanket.

:D

[Spikey M]

I honestly want to fight Jim right now.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Jim you knob. You could always call them Kilted sausages, whether that makes you feel better or worse about them though, who's to say.

[Jimmy Floyd]

OK, I'll suggest this compromise: let's ditch the turkey, and just have six massive pigs in blankets as the main meat element of the Christmas dinner. That way you have a proper balanced plate but you people also get your pork-on-pork perversions sated.

[Lewis]

In my house they were always called 'bacon rolls', and made with sausage meat and thick bacon rather than sausages and shit. I thought 'pigs in blankets' was an Americanism for sausage rolls until somebody offered me a wanky sausage coated in shit bacon. Anyway, you get some right shit ones out there, so maybe the 'bacon rolls' set an unfair standard for me in life.

[Spikey M]

What a couple of cunts.

[Disco]

Pigs in blankets is marginally less shitty than devil's on horseback but both are shit names for wankers (and oysters are a bit crap all round). They were always just sausages in bacon in our house.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

How original.

[Boydy]

Some of you are verging on bacon as a personality territory.

[Pepe]

I don't think that I've ever had pigs in a blanket.

[Giggles]

https://pics.me.me/to-tastefully-offensive-pig-in-a-blanket-6109555.png

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pigs :wub:

I'd love to have a small one as a pet.

[Baz]

Some pubs do cows in quilts. I’ll let you decide what they may be amongst yourselves.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Is it something you find in an unflushed toilet bowl?

[Dark Soldier]

I made this last night and it's absolutely banging (leftovers even moreso today).

I used the recipe from his book which is the same but calls for double the amount of shallots, and I'd recommend doing the same; halved and cooked for a while. The whole thing takes forever tbh but it's worth it.

[Boydy]

That sounds good. Might give it a go.

I bought the Bosh (https://www.bosh.tv/) cookbook with the aim of doing Veganuary this year.

[Spikey M]

Veganuary. Fucking hell.

Anyway, we bought this (http://www.argos.co.uk/product/6866578) yesterday and it seems pretty great. It can cook a whole chicken In about half an hour.

We made Chicken Shish Kebabs in it last night and they were superb. Going to make yoghurt tomorrow.

[Manc]

Caramelized bananas atop of bourbon soaked French toast. Can't breathe.

I'll have to eat extra meat in January to make up for the hashtaggers.

Making a curry as a single man is so tedious. Absolutely loads of preparation and cooking for one meal and some leftovers. Nah.

I’ve never defrosted a curry and had it be similar. Also I’d have to buy Tupperware and in a single male.

I tend to drink half a bottle of wine and listen to some podcasts. It's not so bad. And you just make a fuckton and eat if over the course of the weekend.

[Offshore Toon]

That PIB discussion was so shit. It's just a name and they're incredibly difficult to fuck up. They're obviously great.

My mum has gone veggie so we had nut roast on the table this year and it went really well with everything. It may have even been my favourite thing on the plate after pork and apple sauce.

[Lewis]

My cousin asked me if I wanted to sponsor her for 'Dry January'. Putting aside the money going to a worthy cause, as I heroically did when saying no, you fucking what love?

[Boydy]

What was the money meant to be going towards?

Never heard of people being sponsored for Dry January before. I thought it was just a way of trying to be a bit healthier after the excesses of December. That's all I'm gonna be doing Veganuary for, really. Hopefully lose a bit of weight too.

[Lewis]

I don't actually know. I just figured it would have to be something good to balance the absolute front of the scam.

[Spikey M]

Wasn't that bird with one eye a Vegan, Boyd?

[Pepe]

Veganuary. :harold:

[Ian]

KFC's new fries are, if nothing else, better than their old fries.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I actually really like them.

They're a huge step up from the cardboard ones.

[Giggles]

They haven't got rid of the curly fries have they? They were always the better of the two anyway.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They've never had curly fries over here.

[Ian]

Hold the fuck on, KFC elsewhere have curly fries?

[Spikey M]

You get Curly Fries in Irish KFC's? You were fucking right to fight for independence based on that alone.

When I went to Prague (2006) we had a McDonald's a few times and they treat(ed) their main meals like Happy Meals, but instead of a shitty toy, you got a surprise side. These included Mozzarella bites on one occasion and nuggets on another. Curly fries pisses all over that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Google isn't throwing up anything regarding curly fries.

I have just spotted that KFC in America sell this:

https://www.kfc.com/menu/classics/pot-pie

Who the fuck would go to KFC and order a pie? Other than people from Wigan ofc.

[Baz]

McDonalds need to bring back their hot dogs. It might be the nostalgia more than anything, but my god they were unreal. :drool:

[Ian]

Meat pies are a bit of a novelty in Murica, no?

[Ian]

Also if McDonalds needs to do anything it's to make the McRib a more regular guest.

What's with all the Waffle shite?

[Giggles]

It's been a while since I was in one but I definitely got curly fries in KFC before.

The biggest lol was ones in Texas not having chips of any description.

"Mashed potato or biscuit?"

Fuck off. And it's a scone too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What's with all the Waffle shite?

They go mad for Chicken and waffles over there.

Not sure why.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Also if McDonalds needs to do anything it's to make the McRib a more regular guest.

I had one in Germany not too long ago and I just didn't get it.

Found it to be too sweet and way too sticky, although those are probably it's main selling point.

[Spikey M]

Also if McDonalds needs to do anything it's to make the McRib a more regular guest.

I am basically McDonald's in this respect. When I was a (poor) kid, we used to have some frozen rib burger things and they were glorious. I'm sure you can still get them in Iceland - if Jamie Oliver hasn't seen them - but I have yet to go and get some. I might do so.

Did you just invite me to your house for a McRib? And if so, is that a euphemism for something?

Either way, it's a yes.

[John]

Those Cadbury dessert 'Pots of Joy' are great so I've been getting them for a while now, but I've just read the lid of the Creme Egg variety. The bottom, white fondant bit is described thereupon as 'a layer of gooey playfulness.'

I've been sick on it and myself, and I may never eat again.

[randomlegend]

It's called a "Pot of Joy" mate, what did you expect?

[-james-]

Had a Chinese take-away last night and woke up with my bowels in a very bad way this morning as a result.

Smashed the leftovers for lunch anyway. I'm an idiot.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

400 grams is too much for one human.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

For one as petite as you, perhaps.

[Kikó]

Alright fatty wind it in.

[Adamski]

How good were they? I had a mate who went once who said the steaks are so tender you can cut them with a spoon.

[Spikey M]

Why was he eating steak with a spoon?

This is why we won the Falklands.

Excellent - maybe not to the spoon type but it was juicy and perfectly cooked on the grill.

[igor_balis]

Sorry to be mean to you Mahow but I do always laugh at the common trope of overweight people getting outraged at food portions being "too small", usually with some sorta pseudo-macho thing about it being for GIRLS. No mate, it's how much food you should be eating, your proper MAN SIZED dinners are LITERALLY the reason you haven't got that #beachready bod.

First vivid memory of this is when I went round my really scummy primary school mate's house for fish and chips when I was like 7 and his dad called me a FAIRY for only wanting one piece of fish.

[Giggles]

You've a beach ready bod?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I don't get outraged at food portions.

Stating that 400g of steak is too much for a human though, nah.

[igor_balis]

[Ian]

Yeah but two bits of fish is clearly better than one. You've put him in a bit of a bind there. Fairy.

[Spikey M]

Igor has had a mare here.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Igor goes to a buffet and only has one plate. Fairy.

[Baz]

FFS even I’d have two pieces of fish and I’m me.

Yeah I'm gonna admit defeat here, especially as it's massively hypocritical considering I'll put away a 14'' dominoes in one sitting. Was gonna fight back with the tenuous argument that I'd at least acknowledge it as dysfunctional over-eating, but i mean ffs you're not divs, you know that anyway. God bless.

I remember actually having a spaz out very early on in my TTH career over something really innocuous when I was a bit pissed, then woke up really embarrassed and didn't post for another 6 months. Luckily I had about 50 posts at this point so nobody really noticed. Actually, I'm pretty sure Lewis did, and it was part of me being assigned to "TEAM SENSITIVE" with Hammer (RIP), but he doesn't count with his terrifying memory.

I've done 1kg of chicken before. I'd fancy my chances against 2kg of steak given favourable conditions. 400g would be so easy.

[Giggles]

You're everything wrong with the world mokbull.

[Lewis]

I got a whole chicken recently when I went out with my mate and their family, and they were all lolling and carrying on like I was Mr Creosote. Half of it is bones you knobs.

[Offshore Toon]

Yeah, you don't actually get that much off a whole chicken, but you do get all the amazing bits on the underside that you otherwise can't get. Aldi do 1kg of frozen chicken breasts for £3.50, though, which is usually preferable.

Also, I went to the Afghan joint round the corner to buy their 3ft naan bread and then I was having a look at all the weird stuff and found banana crisps. Bought and bag and they're pretty great. They do shelled pistachios too which I don't recall seeing in any of the big UK supermarkets.

[Giggles]

I had some crackers and cheese. I'm not letting go of Christmas just yet.

Did Turkish eggs for breakfast today. What a glorious mess.

[Adamski]

Just made a Jamie’s 5 ingredients thing. Obviously he’s a cunt but this was great.

Mango chicken.

Chicken, mango chutney, garlic, chilli powder, lime juice. Fried up some onions and peppers and had it with rice.

[Giggles]

That's 8.

[Adamski]

I thought the last sentence indicated I added those 3. SOZ

[Giggles]

In fairness though you'd need onions in it and something like rice with it. He's a complete chancer.

[Pen]

I still haven’t gotten why everyone seems to dislike him in the UK. I think he’s alright.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's because he's a complete fake and the vacuous bollocks that comes out of his mouth is laughable.

I find his recipes overly complex for what they are. Nigel Slater is the king of home cooking.

[Boydy]

I read rumours recently that Nigel Slater is a nonce.

[Giggles]

He's a big annoying fanny if nothing else.

[Jimmy Floyd]

He's awful on TV, but his books are amazing.

[Giggles]

He's awful on TV, but his books are amazing.

Yeah I'd have to agree there. Can't watch him at all but I've a couple of the books and they are very good.

[randomlegend]

Nigel Slater's chocolate brownie recipe on the guardian website is majestic.

[Jimmy Floyd]

He's the master of taking relatively few ingredients and turning them into something brilliant without needing a great deal (or any) technical skill. Perfect for someone like me who wants to eat proper food but can't be doing with all the faffing on a daily basis.

[Adamski]

The shows are appalling but I like the recipes I’ve made of his on BBC. Haven’t had one of his cookbooks though.

[phonics]

This week I've made: creamy tagliatelle with smoked salmon and caviar, cheesy gnocchi with broccoli and ham and a beef stroganoff. It's the most I've properly cooked during the week in ages. I'd claim I'm going foodie but I got hammered on Wednesday which meant I just had hungover pizza yesterday.

[Spikey M]

And it's by far your best dish.

[John]

Today I've discovered there's a specialty mac and cheese restaurant close to me, and that they deliver.

Just had their 'Sloppy Joe', which consists of macaroni and cheese covered with beef bolognese, and it was remarkable. It's hangover food, but high quality, very good hangover food.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Probably my pettiest gripe in life is the modern prevalence in the UK of 'mac and cheese' over the traditional formation of 'macaroni cheese'. It is of course because people hear the former in American shows.

[John]

Yeah, that was supposed to be in quotes, because they describe themselves as a 'specialty mac and cheese' place.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Our oven seems to have shit itself (turning the whole thing off and on again seems to have worked) and turned off about halfway into my 3 and a half hour brisket.

Coke is good.

Cook it in milk.

[Lewis]

I'm not wasting good milk on shitty gammon.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Chicken in milk is pretty tasty tbh.

Gammon is ham.

Probably my pettiest gripe in life is the modern prevalence in the UK of 'mac and cheese' over the traditional formation of 'macaroni cheese'. It is of course because people hear the former in American shows.

Hold on you guys call mac and cheese "macaroni cheese" lmfao what

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Gammon is ham.

Apologies, Doc.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Yep, and what's more it's ours so back the fuck off.


Macaroni and cheese—also called mac and cheese or mac n cheese in American and Canadian English, can sometimes be called macaroni pie in Caribbean English,[1] and macaroni cheese in the United Kingdom[2]—is a dish of English origin, consisting of cooked macaroni pasta and a cheese sauce, most commonly cheddar. It can also incorporate other ingredients, such as breadcrumbs, meat and vegetables.[3][4]

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yep, and what's more it's ours so back the fuck off.

Get fucked you American wankers.

[Spikey M]

All it took to make Mahow proud to be British again was Macaroni Cheese. :cool:

It's more Anti-American than British.

Read a recipe earlier that said "if you don't have access to a tandoor you can make do with a hot grill". Who the fuck has a tandoor?

[Lewis]

Me.

Just finished our first week using Gousto, in an attempt to stop eating chicken nuggets and chips every night. Anyone else ever bothered with it? It's been pretty decent so far, but the thing we ate yesterday - some weird sausage, potato and apple bake - wasn't great. Still, I wolfed it down anyway because it's about £3 per meal.

Next week's recipes look better. Once it goes up to full price (in a couple of weeks), we'll cancel it and probably give HelloFresh a go instead.

[Kikó]

I use and have used hello fresh for about 2 years. Great selection and you don't need to worry about a weekly shop.

[Giggles]

I like doing the weekly shop.

[Kikó]

I just found we wasted loads of food.

[niko_cee]

The alternative being wasting loads of money.

[mikem]

Yep, and what's more it's ours so back the fuck off.

You are asking us to trust a source that indicates that you can put meat, vegetables, or breadcrumbs in it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bacon macaroni cheese, mate.

Breadcrumb topped, mate.

[mikem]

Bacon macaroni cheese, mate.

Breadcrumb topped, mate.

I’m confused because you are saying these like they are good.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah, cat shit from a box is much better.

[phonics]

What we refer to as Macaroni Cheese is what I guess you'd call a pasta bake where as Mac and Cheese is just making macaroni and mixing it with a foul tasting powder formula.

£5 a dinner Is something I'm ok with.

[bruhnaldo]

Yep, and what's more it's ours so back the fuck off.

You also invented football and we see how well that's worked out for your lot for the last 50 years as far as tribal nationalism is concerned. :henn0rz:

[Disco]

It's the most popular sport on the planet, I'd say it's going ok.

[bruhnaldo]

It's almost as if you skipped the entire point of the joke just to see yourself type. Is this what it's like reading my posts? I apologize in advance.

[Disco]

I can add an insult if you think it would help.

[randomlegend]

What kind of brain damage do you have to have to think bacon in macaroni cheese would be bad?

[phonics]

I’m finally having a five guys as they opened one here. Ordering is a nightmare. I was told to just go for everything which involved ketchup mustard and mayonnaise. What the fuck.

[Lewis]

Overloading sandwiches and that is the biggest mong move in the world.

Why would you go for everything? They have a list of things you can have on your burger and you choose the ones you want.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's just going to be a sloppy mess.

[SvN]

I had five guys a few months ago for the first time and I enjoyed it. As far as a takeaway burger goes, it was up there.

[phonics]

I just went with cheese, onions, pickles and mustard/ketchup. It tastes like a whopper really. Chips are pretty good though.

If you ask for it with everything then they give you a certain selection as outlined on the menu.

I checked the american prices and it's $4 for a milkshake. It's $11 for one here.

[bruhnaldo]

If you just tell them all the way they'll give you the standard condiments tho

I've recently discovered biltong. My god it's so fucking good, and about 40g of protein per packet which is easy to smash through in one sitting.

Might have a go at making some biltong. The jerky I made was great.

That's me replying to a comment on the first page there. From 2015. Enjoy.

With taking such a long time thinking about it, I'd have expected something a little more clever.

I don't even get the joke.

[Spikey M]

The smiley is in an odd place. It's pretty clever.

Oh yeah I see it now. You've taken out the 'O' and replaced it with a emoji.

It's a little bit clever yeah. I'd have done it in like 2 years though, loser.

[Spikey M]

In 18 months time I'm going to make you look a right cunt.

[Mazuuurk]

I'll be ready.

Spikey will wreck you, he's been practising on himself for years.
