So if you were asked to start with a 'ham' based dish, followed by a lamb dish and then a fruit pudding...
What would you make?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:10, 2 replies, latest was 14 years ago)

Chorizo (yeah, I'm counting that as ham) in red wine to start
followed by, ooh, I dunno, moussaka, then you could have crumble for dessert. Or use your ice cream maker and have cherry and Kirsch ice cream.

There is no excuse for not trying
you ought to give it a go, it really isn't hard.

except it's dull and boring
and my brain won't work in a way which helps assemble food into meals.

also, fuck it, I live on my own

Well I suppose if you don't enjoy it...
personally I find it very relaxing and enjoyable. But there we go. And also, I live on my own, that's not an excuse either!

I can't cook and don't want to cook.
I can't swim either.

Sometimes I have fleeting pangs of inadequacy about these shortcomings but not so that I lose any sleep.

If you get hungry on a sinking boat you're fucked.

It'd be a bugger trying to keep the oven going.

Chorizo would be perfectly acceptable berk.
I don't have an ice cream maker though.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:18, Reply)

I do.
it's ace. I made brown bread ice cream the other day; it's lush.

You said, and I can't imagine what it would taste like.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:20, Reply)

Right, if you lightly toasted a piece of brown bread
with a little sugar on it, and then put a slice of decent vanilla ice cream in the middle... a bit like that. It's really really nice.
(berk, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:21, Reply)

Sounds interesting.
I've never put sugar on bread, but brown bread ice-cream sounds like he sort of thing you'd get in the sort of restaurant you'd go to on special occasion.

That's where I first had it
a marvellous restaurant in Birmingham that the ex and I went to for an anniversary. Theirs was better than mine, I must admit, but mine wasn't bad...

HUMMM.... *thinks*, I think I'll make it greek, and this is initial thoughts without to much thinking.
Starter would be a fig filled with blue cheese and wrapped parma ham and baked with a watered-down honey dressing. Or maybe going for a bit of a classic, honeydew melon wrapped in parma ham. Or, or, maybe, aspagous wrapped in parmaham with a holendayz dressing.

Mains I'd do lamb chops under a really intense grill so the fat crisps up, about two minutes before they're ready, I'd put a really good sweet-chilli sauce, or maybe mint-jelly (note: not 'mint sauce') over them so it bubbles up a bit. I'd do with that minted crushed potatos and petti-pois pees.

For desert, as we have very rich mains which involves quite a bit of cooking, I'll do something I can prepare in advance. I'm not big on fruit-based deserts, so maybe a Eaton Mess?

I saw a recipy on the telly the other day that I would like to try.
Cholla french toast, with cinimon and nutmeg in the egg-mix (x 2)
Cream cheese, honey and mashed bannana mixed up.
Put the cream cheese between the bread and then fry up.

Oh, Gonz. I heard something on the radio the other day that I thought would be right up your street.
You need to get yourself a (hot) sweet Blegian waffle, put a 'fresh out of the freeze' Magnum ice-cream on it and then whack the lot in the microwave for 10 seconds.

Apparently it melts into the amazing pudding.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:26, Reply)

Sweeeeeet.
I bet that would be especially nice if you used the caramel magnum.
(berk, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 21:26, Reply)

Well the possibilities are endless*
*Limited to the different varieties of Magnum that are available.
