Gotta watch yer cholesterol levels...

Never managed a really good fried chicken. Do you have a recipe and tips ?

Yeah sure, no worries, I'll ask Del to type out something when she gets a chance:)

I'm intrigued... Why? What is it, the flavour, the texture or both?:)

Marco.

Looks nice though, mate. From the appearance anyway, it looks like you've done a good job with the sauce!:cool:

Marco.

Not my finest work, but after some afternoon drinking i tried a four strand challah, but with organic seeded flour from Shipton mill, which is by far the best i’ve ever used and some.

It was brushed with egg wash before baking and doused in butter afterwards.
You can see that the butter has soaked through the crust to create…
Jeez, i’m starting to sound like Marco now, someone shoot me please.
It’s bread and was nice, thats it.
Thank you :)

In all seriousness though, its a lot harder than it looks on Youtube to make a perfect challah, but as i've got yet another month off work i'll try and get it right.

Looks OK to me, not that I've ever heard of one.. But I'd enjoy eating it.

Don't fight it, sweetheart, just embrace it!:kiss::D

In any case, your bread looks pretty decent, although possibly a little dry? Dunno though what it's supposed to be like...

Nope.
Anything but dry, but i fcuked up the egg wash by not adding some water, hence why it looks like one could throw it at a horse and render it unconscious.
Practise makes perfect and all that.
