Artichokes.
I'm having a post awesome weekend come-down made worse by the fact my mum is away and my sister has flu.

I always get artichokes and anchovies mixed up
anchovies are nice in moderation, but I've never had an artichoke. Aren't they the big things that you need to get rid of 90% of it before you get to the edible bit?

No, well, yes and no, there the big green things that most people don't actually know how to to eat.
How you should eat them, or at least, how I find them most enjoyable, is to boil up the head until you can pick an outter leaf off easerly. Get a big bowl of mayo/aloli. You then pick off a leef and hold it by the tip, then dip the base of the leef in the mayo, just a smidgin, and put it in your mouth [the inside side of the leef against the bottom teeth, so your scrape out the white stuff]... then when you get to the end or you get bored, you take out the 'choke' with a spoon, spread mayo over the top of it, and enjoy (that's the best bit).

Most people eat them raw and only eat the heart, which is a real waste of time.

It made me guff like a fucking navvy.

I had a scotch egg the other day
that had gone off in such a weird way that the white had split into thick papery sheets that looked like when you cut into an artichoke.

I feel a bit sick just thinking of it actually.

it came from Cafe Quattro on York Road opposite the Shell Building. So don't ever eat there.

I saw a recipe for a black pudding scotch egg the other day, I'm very tempted to make it...

They are incredible.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 11:23, Reply)

Well, if I do make it, pictures of the results shall be posted on here.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 11:25, Reply)

That does sound good, I have to say.

( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 11:32, Reply)

There is a bloke on FoodNetwork that showed me the recipy for that, on one of those little "inbetween shows" shows.
Looks good.

Oh grim oh grim oh grim.
This is why I don't trust buying anything egg-based in a garage or even worst, corner shop.
