Curry and Chips reminds me of this:

And living in Sheffield for a while, Curry and Chips from the Chippy was very popular in the 70's
I'm sure the chips were authentic :DQuote:

Will be doing a bake with chicken, brocolli, cauliflower, pasta, mushrooms and other various veg. Using a white sauce with loads of butter and a cheese crust on top.
That looks ace! Perhaps a little swirl of cream on top, just for extra decadence? ;)Quote:

Had sweet n sour chicken. Needed eating date wise. I quite like it. From Lidl cheap and cheerful
Lidl's one is actually ok. So you like Chines food but not Indian? :)
Marco.
Like sweet n sour chicken, Lemon chicken too if out of a good restaurant. Good spare ribs although when I made y own they were much better. Not got the teeth for them now lol. Yes I like a few chinese dishes, a few Italian as well. Good British fayre gets unfair :eyebrows: criticism. Cooked right it can be very good too. Nowt wrong with mince and tatty:D I ight add the mince should be minced beef not ground beef as is the penchant of current butchers. Got somwe nice rough stuff today.Quote:

Fresh filleted sardines fried in chilli infused olive oil with aubergine, tomato and mozzarella dipping sauce. Fabulous.
Antipasto Misto to start, followed by Turnedos Rossini with green salad. Tiramisu for dessert.
Washed down with a 2014 Chateau Penin, Bordeaux Supérieur
Just making some lentil soup for tonight, don't know what is the second course, that's being brought by a lady friend. I suspect it will be rice and something, perhaps chicken. We'll see.
had steamed pots and Beef olives. gave half of it to my neighbour as he washed my car:eyebrows: would have anyway mind lol
That's rather impressive, Barry! Did you make the Tournedos [note the spelling, lol;)] Rossini yourself? It's one of my favourite dishes... A true classic. What about the Tiramisu, was that home-made? :)Quote:

Yeah, I got that feeling, even though you didn't say... ;)
Italian restaurant, was it? Or perhaps not, as TR is classically French. Hope the fillet tenderloin was cooked to perfection, with a nice rich demi-glace sauce :)
Did they serve it with black truffles or pâté? The accompanying potatoes were hopefully either pommes fondant or dauphinoise.
Marco.
Yes it was perfect. Pâté, rather than truffles with pommes dauphinoise, so could have been a bit rich for my tastes. But as it's something only I eat occasionally, and as you don't often see it on the menu, I thought I would give it a go.Quote:

Tournedos Rossini is also something I only enjoy occasionally (haven't had it for years). In fact, I think the last time was when Del made it when you were visiting. Do you remember?
Perhaps we'll do it again, ably assisted this time by the gadgets in our new kitchen? :)
As you say, it's not something you see often because it's somewhat 'retro' (a 70s/80s classic), but I love some of that stuff, including a good Prawn Cocktail, Chicken Kiev or Steak Diane, particularly in restaurants when the latter is flambéed at the table, by the waiter! I really enjoyed it when good restaurants practiced proper Silver service. Remember that?
The same applies, in terms of flambé, with one of my favourite desserts, Crêpes Suzette:

Yum, yum!
Marco.
Pommes fondant My mum made great ones but called them fried tatties
Lol - not quite the same thing... The former is rather more indulgent, involving the liberal use of butter and chicken stock! ;)
Marco.
Yup. Ive made them like that although not all butter. Mixed it with olive oil I love them
Yeah, a veritable 'heart attack on a plate', but undeniably tasty! :)
Marco.
lol.... yes and for all of my works and tender ministries, I still preferred my mums ones done with beef lard:lol: She could really get the taste great. Good and adventurous cook she was at times and for the times.Quote:

Unhealthy, but I enjoyed it, bacon, egg, mashed potato, baked beans. Some fruit after though.
