That's what I usually buy but the stuff at that Superstar BBQ was absolutely spot on.
cheers. I was trying to acquire the ingredients for this korean recipe the other day, and i had to use about 8 different websites, it came to about 30 quid and half the stuff was sold out. got annoyed and made a curry instead.
They've got the women to cook it for them, duh.Originally Posted by Lewis
Promoting a woman to the top like Mrs Park was always going to end in tears, their society isn't ready for it.
In all honesty, deep fried chicken balls are probably the most un-Chinese thing I've ever heard of.
According to this board, if you go north of Watford, 'Chinese' just turns into an all purpose greasy fast food emporium. I'm as mystified as you.
Love Korean food. Gochujang
They're a staple though and the best thing in it. About the only main that isn't full of raw vegetables and a watery sauce.
The Gig'miester is bang on. Chicken ball and chinese chips are the best.
The soggy batter inside is the best bit of it as well.
My staples from the Chinese takeaway are Salt and Chilli or Honey chicken Wings, Crispy chilli chicken/chicken balls with fried rice, chips and curry sauce.
No authenticity no fucks given.
Talk to me about a spice bag @Giggles. What goes on there?
God yeah I forgot about all the salt and chilli stuff too that's arrived over the last few years. A spice bag is probably the best seller from any Chinese takeaway over here (not sure on naming there but it's salt and chilli chicken, chicken balls, and chips mixed together).
Love that chicken ball batter
Lol well that's a bit of timing right there.
You get variations on what i said above too. Sometimes no chicken balls or sometimes shredded beef instead of chicken. Normally red chillies and onions in the mix too.
Salty as fuck, it's awesome.
Chicken balls and sweet and sour sauce is great indulgent food, but I think kung pao is my favourite chinese dish.
Ah I didn't realise a spice bag was Chinese specific.
We get pizza boxesfull of salt and chilli everything. Chips, chicken wings, spring rolls, ribs, chicken balls and a portion of sauce.
They call that one a munchie box here. I think the last one I had was identical to that but with some shredded chicken in it too.Ah I didn't realise a spice bag was Chinese specific.
We get pizza boxes
Spicy bag at ours doesn't include chicken balls but it has the chips and chicken and it's absolutely fucking glorious.
Sweet and sour chicken balls.
No need to get insulting, Magic. As soon as I'm back from my folk's this week, I'll start on the 'I need to cook more stuff' wagon. Curry looks easy to knock up whilst the mince and dumplings seems to be a case of "Put almost all of the things in the recipe in a bowl and mix."
The level I like to live on, basically.
I'm back in the habit of filling my freezer with bulk-cooked stuff and loving life. Making gumbo tomorrow.
Shredded anything in batter.

Here tonight and despite the fairly shoddy website it was quite good.
The service wasn't the best though, I got a chicken Royal Bangalore having asked for a lamb one. It was tasty though so I didn't care too much.
Turkish tomorrow and then Japanese on Monday.
@Sir Andy Mahowry You'll know this quicker than I can google it. Who is it that hates each other the most out of Greeks Cypriots and Turks?
Sounds like my kind of woman. Can we swap.
I'd say that there's a lot less hatred with the newer generations but I'd say that there is more hatred with the Greek Cypriots purely because the Turks are still in the north and many see that as them in 'our houses illegally'.
Personally I don't think that anything can really change, they've occupied the North for far too long now and it would be such a clusterfuck to sort out.
Onion rings. Breaded or battered?
I enjoy both, but breaded is my preferred choice of ring.
Neither. How to ruin onions 101.
Mentalist. So you like them warm and soggy...like snot.
Cajun breaded onion rings are delicious when done right. Onion rings are in that category of food that I know are shit, but I love anyway.
I'd go battered, although if the breading were done right (ie very lightly) I suppose that could work.
Breaded, and those massive sloppy battered ones you get in pubs are the pits.
Agreeing with Magic. Shocker.
Battered ones from the chipper are the best. Shit from a Chinese though.
I went to a pub a few months ago that had them stacked from big to small in a fucking mini frying pan. The one at the bottom must've been about 2 inches tall, it was fucking revolting.
They looked something like this:
I remember going into a place once and ordering what clearly said 'onion rings' on the menu and ending up with one half inch whole slice of onion battered.
Yeah, those ones (those are unusually thick though). You should also have made a point of removing everything from that box and handing it back to them.
The chips in a bucket and whole thing in the box should have been enough to flip the table and walk out anyway.
fucking baked beans in little mugs what's the deal with that huh
battered sloppy spoons onion rings are something i crave when i'm hungover but i hate myself afterwards
I'm sure we've discussed this website before:

Burger Meats Bun in Glasgow used to give you a paper place mat, the paper the burger was wrapped in and that was it. Which I now realised isn't nearly as offensive as some of the other shit restaurants are doing.
Fucking desserts in ashtrays and on sanitary towels. Jesus Christ. Some things are just annoying like those little chopping boards they use but those two would put me right off my food.
Yeah, those two are taking things way too far.
What the fuck even is that on the fanny pad? Even if it was on a plate it's a disgrace of a dessert.

Went here today.
Tried won ton fried dumplings, tempura oysters, a duck sushi thing, raw prawns, raw tuna, raw octopus, raw surf clam, garlic fried rice and sizzling steak.
Was really tasty but a bit expensive and small servings.

Made that tonight, it was nice. First ever baking experience as well. Gonna enter bake off just to passive aggressively mock Noel Fielding.
Lidl's inferno pizza, while disappointing overall, definitely isn't a let-down in the heat department.
Tonight I ate 16 chicken dippers. I'm not happy about it on reflection.
I made kofta balls tonight. Mushed chickpeas, flour, cornflour, bicarb of soda, various spices, oil and some other shit i've probably forgotten, in the oven for 20 minutes. Was alright. Had it with a cauliflower and tomato curry, which was also decent.
ALSO, got some more plantain crisps. I don't like non-potato crisps generally (the co-op's sweet potato and parsnip (or some shit) offerings were fucking gross), but these are amazing.
I wouldn't be either. Easily could do the 24.
I made some accidentally good mash last night. Throwing some cheese into it worked out. Had a moment early one when I thought it would turn into slop but it wound up being nice and creamy.
