Do you do this in the UK?
Beer can chicken?
Ok, make a nice rub with olive oil,spices and beer.
Leave 8 oz. of beer in a 12 oz. can.
Stuff a small white onion in the neck to seal in the juces then fold the skin over the onion and use a small securer to pin it shut.
put the half a beer on the grill and put the chicken on it craming it up it's arss.
Get the grill up to 400+ and close the lid,let it go till it's 180+F inside,no more than 200F then let cool for ten minutes. and serve.
You can really see the white onion in pic 4 of 5.
The meat falls off the bones,skin is crisp and so juicy inside.
Recipe for Chris (and others)
Tortino di cavolo e patate.
Ingredients:
One large Savoy cabbage.
Taleggio cheese.
Potatoes (Desiree types are good).
Butter.
Salt and pepper.
Method:
Butter, all over thoroughly, the inside of an ovenproof dish, and peel and thinly slice the potatoes, using a potato mandolin. The latter is absolutely necessary, as otherwise you’ll never be able to slice the potatoes thinly enough.
Remove the hard centre-core (vein) from the cabbage leaves and chop up into roughly 2-inch square pieces. Then blanche them in boiling water for two or three minutes, and drain.
Now you’re ready to assemble the dish...
Start with two layers of potatoes, and then sprinkle some salt and pepper on top, to taste. Then, add a layer of cabbage and a cheese, and a few knobs of butter.
Repeat the above process again, creating another layer.
Finish with a final layer of potatoes, press down a little on the mixture to flatten it, and add a few more knobs of butter. Before putting in the oven, sprinkle a dessert spoon of water on top, just to generate some moisture, in order to aid the cooking process.
Use butter to grease some tinfoil, and place the tinfoil over the top of the dish, covering all the sides. Pop the dish into an oven, and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the tinfoil and cook for a further 20 minutes, in order to brown and crisp the top.
Cut into slices and serve (perhaps also with some slices of Parma Ham), a side salad and crusty bread! :)

So who fancies a lamb curry today then?
I was quite shocked to read that report that a high percentage of lamb curries contain little or no lamb:eek:. I reckon most of us knew that already. I once bought a lamb curry that had just four tiny pieces of meat. With the whole container soaked in curry thickened with loads of onions, it is no wonder that it is so hard to tell what's in that muck.
Recipes for scrumptious and reasonably healthy food
Ah Bakerie been there a few times. I work quite near it at City Tower on Piccadilly Plaza. Will check out Pie & Ale for main meals rather than bread and wine!
There are a lot of gourmet "beer 'n burger" joints opening these days hopefully in place of last year's pulled pork overload...
