I tickle them and say 'cheer up moody-chops' until I get punched.
Failing that, mushrooms and The Monkees DVD Box Set usually works.

I actually quite enjoy mushrooms but only enough for a mad giggle.

I recommend using some butter
and sprinkling with Shwartz BBQ seasoning then grilling

Chuck them upside down onto a tray
butter and garlic in, and a touch of Worcester sauce - amazing!

Depends on the size - I do about 20 mins
The Worceser sauce changes the taste loads, but in a good way. Nom with lots of crusty bread and a smug grin

EDIT:
Vipros mushroom method also sounds good! Do half and half!

bread?
I know you mean baconz and sausages and eggs and tomatoes and beans

You will need bread for the nyommy juices

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 14:44, Reply)

I don't have bread

( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 14:45, Reply)

I suggest adding chicken livers to this for a delicous and unctious snack
also sour dough bread and some fresh parsley

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 14:47, Reply)

your recipe sounds great
I've thought the same.

did I mention a roast pork risotto last week? my friend and I came up with the idea, of basically roast pork with a sage and butternut squash risotto with chunks of crackling in the risotto.

She made it on friday and it was exactly as I imagined and absolutely delicious. So good with some apple sauce and english mustard.

I had the chicken and chorizo risotto at the weekend
Excellent!
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 14:58, Reply)

This does sound good
I find the trick to really awsome crackling is four fold:

1: Pour boiling water over the skin,
2: Score and salt heavily
3: Remove skin and place on a raised rack
4: Roast at a relatively low heat
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 14:56, Reply)

it was better than you can possibly imagine
the pork element was a couple of tenderloins, marinated with garlic and olive oil, seared then roasted for 10 minutes.

The crackling element came from two big sheets of pork fat and skin for 74p. Cooked seperately.

The boiling water trick is a good one, I use that on duck, and sometimes chicken pieces if I want crispy skin.
