A mediocre Waitrose cheese-and-onion-unidentifiable-gunk sandwich and a packet of Twiglets.
Tonight I'll be making cheese and bacon puff pastry... things. What shall I add to make them zing?

Hi Noel
Try some wholegrain mustard.....

alright purpledoris
I have three mustard jars right next to the cooker and wholegrain is one of them. I'd considered dijon but wholegrain might be the choice.

I second this

Yes, I couldn't agree more.
And maybe possibly some sort of bacon? Something crispy too, not sure what, but it needs a crunch.

What sort of cheese Noel?

the puff pastry would have enough crunch

That and the little corners of bacon.
God damn, I'm hungry again and I've just eaten.

It's extra-strong Cheddar
which, at best, I'd call "almost-strong". Some ground black pepper will be joining it.

If you have a marks'n'sparks near you, they do something called Cornish Crunch, it's the stronggest cheddar you can get in mainstream shops (I think).
How are you going to do it? Make a white sauce stuffed with the cheese and run a whole bunch of onions through it? It sounds like a good idea (hint hint: coll3ctive blog), sprinkle the top with cheese as I love crispy cheese.

I'm experimenting to be honest.
The butcher does some cheese-bacon-turnover things and I got some bacon cheap-like yesterday, so I thought I'd have a bit of culinary fun when I got home.

Mushroom duxelles
I have overpurchased mushrooms so I'm probably going to make some tonight and freeze it (after using some to stuff a chicken breast).

I totally hate mushrooms, they're like the food that used to bully me at school.

stir some hot horseradish sauce into that
and it goes amazingly with a burger or a steak

I was thinking chilis actually
but that is a thought.
