When were you last fucked over?
ALT: I bought a fillet of beef to make beef wellington tomorrow, fuck me it was expensive. What expensive foodstuffs do you love or when is the cheapy option best.

the last one I used of cow. though, because I bought a large amount of cow.
It was fucking good too.
I also love scallops, and lobster and things like that.

However for a wellington, you need a fillet.

Risotto Milanese covers most of the important bits like adding hot stock a bit at a time - that's the key thing. (Use unsalted butter though, the stock will probably be fairly salty.) I'd let the rice fry a bit before starting with the rest, you want to get the grains to go transparent, but, like the onion/garlic, uncoloured. You also don't really have to use risotto rice, I'm quite fond of the slightly nutty taste of basmati, though that'd probably get the purists raving.
I'd tend to cut down on the rice a little and lob a bit more fat and cheese at it personally. Subbing in some shallots instead of onion will make it a little sweeter, giving a more restauranty touch maybe. Letting it rest, covered, for a couple of minutes at the end after you've stirred the cheese and butter in will also pay dividends.
Once you've got the texture cracked you can then throw in pretty much any ingredients that go together!

I'll buy some risotto rice in for the first time. Might try making pea risotto since it was delicious last time I had it. Thanks for the tips

I'm not a wine snob by any stretch, I don't spend hours sniffing them, but a nice wine really is rather good.
(, Thu 4 Aug 2011, 17:50, Reply)
If you spend money on the right wine, you will be OK, I find.
£20 on a decent french wine, but maybe £12-13 on a good spanish one. Never over a tenner for anything new world though. I reckon its the law of diminishing returns. French wines can always give a bit more taste as the money goes up, others, less so.

I do love a nice bit of fillet steak. I'm a bit spoiled that way - won't bother my arse with any other kind.
I get fucked over all the time. Mostly because I put myself out for other people, and no-one ever does the same for me.

I find that most cheap things are just as good as expensive things, but then again I'm a redneck and haven't had well and proper expensive things. I feel like I enjoy drinking a $6 bottle of Cooks champagne rather than a $40 bottle of Moet. It's tastier, easier to drink and doesn't slay my wallet.
