Re: The food thread!

We happened to be in Kent last year on vacation, and since the nearest supermarket was a Marks & Spencer we went in there and did the required shopping. What immediately struck me was the enormous choice of ham!!! We got some and I can tell you I've never tasted better hame than M&S' Smoked Wiltshire Ham. Sooo much better than anything in the Netherlands.

And I also really like the British obsession with lamb... Except somebody needs to go and tell those chaps in Launceston (Cornwall) to make sure there's less fat in it. Or is that a Cornish thing to do???

Ham? In England? I though they where more of a lamb country. If you want pork, go to Poland. Razz

Don't like pork, way too much fat. And I don't mean it like I'm some kind of dieting cholesterol-fearing freak, I just don't like big white edges of jellylike fat to be around my meat. Hence, I don't generally like bacon.

In ham in sausage it's usually cut out, but in pork bacon it isn't so I do it myself.

by **peugeot407** Sun 5 Jun 2011 - 6:19

I know. Ham sometimes has fat edges which I cut off, but fortunately my dog loves them. As for bacon though, the amount of fat is generally so large and also so much spread about the slice of bacon that when all fat edges are removed, all you're left with are small bits of meat that happened to be in between the fat.

Oh, correction: In Scotland, porridge, haggis and whiskey. Anyone know about their cheese? Friends of The Dude

And in Wales, leek and potato soup.

Some of the best of us are:
1. Nasi Goreng (influenced by Chinese)
2. Satay
3. Soto (something alike soup)
4. Rawon

The worst
1. Jengkol
2. Petai
3. Cacing goreng (fried nematoda) :eyesrolling:

by Paco the Great Sun 5 Jun 2011 - 22:49

Seriously? Fried nematodes? I feel nauseous.

by **peugeot407** Sun 5 Jun 2011 - 23:33

Those Indonesians fry everything... In fact, the only Indonesian word I know is 'goreng', which means 'fried'. Razz

Bloody hell! Fried coffee? What on earth does that look like?

And if I'm not mistaken you also fry bananas, right?

peugeot407

by **Pepp** Mon 6 Jun 2011 - 1:20

No, those beverages are not fried, the only one that fried is them who under fry category.

About banana, yes. It is good. Also with toffu.

by Paco the Great Tue 7 Jun 2011 - 3:44

by **peugeot407** Tue 7 Jun 2011 - 22:58
