a) The young lady from the cafe seems not to be conversing with me anymore.
My free cooked delicacies appear to be at an end.
b) My next door neighbour and I dined on chip shop fish and chips with mushy peas and gravy Sunday teatime. Large fish and chips twice. 2 pots of mushy peas. 2 pots of gravy. 2 buttered breadcakes. Lashings of salt and vinegar.
Outstanding value at only £11.
c) I am considering a warming corned beef hash for tea on Monday evening.
It may combat the coming cold spell predicted.

Check out what Suntory (Japan) or Penderyn (Wales) make ... i.e. whisky.
There is also at least one English Whisky, e.g. made in Norfolk.

I'd say the rule is ...
Whisky - Made anywhere but not usually Ireland or USA
Whiskey - Made anywhere but usually Ireland or USA and not Scotland
Scotch whisky - ONLY produced in Scotland.

Before the Domino's thread morphs into another food thread, I'd like to bring tnings back on track and ask what others are planning for christmas lunch/dinner. This year I will be serving:

Roast monkfish in Parma ham

Roast rib of beef (on the bone obviously) with a mustard crust, served with marrowbone, roast spuds, parsnips, beetroot & shallots, mash and Yorkshire pudding

Haven't decided on dessert yet but will probably go with a raspberry/wine jelly or something similarly light

Me and my next door neighbour mate are going to see our landlord mate in our local establishment.
Opening hours are 10-30am until 4pm so we shall be in for the duration.
Our other mate is cooking for his good lady and two daughters and is insistent on plating up a meal for the pair of us and delivering it after our sesh.
We have not complained.

What is he cooking?
Oh, I don't know.

n.b.

The mate cooking for us is the ex-landlord of our local establishment and knowing his modus operandi his reason for cooking for us is that he can escape his family and sneak a couple of hours in his old pub with us.

Christmas dinner will probably be the usual:

Smoked salmon
Roast Turket, etc
Christmas Pudding

I'm hoping I can persuade Tayyabs to do takeaway.

Here, it will be:

Mushroom consommé to start.

Home-cured salmon (vodka, juniper, lemon zest and salt) with endive, orange segments and a classic vinegarette.

Slow-roasted chicken with a stuffing of boar paté, truffle, chestnut and grated Cox apple, and served with fondant potatoes, sprouts and serrano, a butternut purée and a chicken and thyme gravy (the latter prepped yesterday and now in the freezer).

Individual sachertortes (with orange jam rather than apricot), mandarin sorbet, mandarin dust and a biscuit or tuile of some sort to add texture and height.

Bought the Rover Cottage Meat book for £10 from TK Maxx the other day - got about a 5th of the way through it, very interesting. Also got a mincer with sausage meat stuffer attachment, going to try sausage over the weekend if the skins arrive in time and also potted dog.
