Would you eat human flesh?
I'd be tempted, I think, if it were cooked nicely. I wouldn't eat penis or arse like Armin Miewes or Albert Fish, mind you.

If you slow-cooked them for long enough they might be OK. Adults would have more flavour, like mutton over lamb.

I think he used topside or top rump

he didn't cut it thin enough either, but the end product was still delicious and worked very well.

think this is the recipe he used

sounds like a bunch of things I cook
presentation could use some work before you get on Masterchef though ;-)

can I recommend something to try?

buy some cheap beef, I recommend beef skirt. Slice it as thin as possible across the grain.

Thoroughly season some cornflour with chinese 5 spice, then toss the beef strips in it. shake off the excess and fry in small batches in hot oil to get crispy.

You want to get the oil hot as fuck and cook the beef for as short a time as possible to get it crispy, but still sort of medium rare in the middle.

serve with stir fried veg in some kind of honey and soy based sauce (which you seem to already have the hang of)
(, Mon 21 Dec 2009, 16:06, Reply)
That sounds really good, like Crispy Beef from the chinese.
I'm going to give that a go, deffinatly.
(, Mon 21 Dec 2009, 16:08, Reply)
that is almost exactly what it is like
basically, the more and the hotter the oil you use, the crispier it gets. I tend to not use loads, so it's like medium rare steak with a crispy tasty coating, but if you kind of deepish fry it you should be able to get it like the stuff from the takeaway
(, Mon 21 Dec 2009, 16:12, Reply)
I'll deffo enjoy that.
I might try doing something with rice next, I never use rice.
(, Mon 21 Dec 2009, 16:19, Reply)
if you are going to cook the rice with the intention of frying it
use basmati, don't cook it till it's ready to eat, cook it until it's a few minutes from done, and give it as much time as possible to drain. the drier the better when frying rice.

very easy for a beginner to cooking risotto (like me)

I tend to roast some chunks of butternut squash for 20 minutes with some oil and seasoning and then adding to this, and some peas.

if you are feeling fancy, season, then fry some scallops and scatter them over the top before serving

I can't think that I would describe any curry that I've had out as great
I've had plenty of good ones, but none that are great. The south west doesn't have the standard of curry and chinese that is available in that London, or places like Brum.

I've cooked a couple of pretty mean ones myself, but the best ones are more tagine like than curry I'd say.

my old music collaborator
used to do a mean chicken and apricot curry which was v tagine-y. Having been to Morocco (I wonder why I went there, eh?) I could happily go ten years without having another tagine. Not the most imaginative bunch I found- though I did have the most incredible seafood of my life, grilled on the quayside, fresh out of the sea.

Mind-bogglish hashish too. I had the closest to an out of body experience on it. Whilst having sex. Bizarrely it's possible this was my daughter's conception.

nice
the one I have in mind is a lamb one. really rich and thick and delicious, and then to make it extra awesome you melt a load of butter with cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks and dried apricots in it and pour it over the top before serving.

that sounds good. I haven't had any truly mind-bending gear for ages. I reckon I might make a bong over christmas. It's been too long since I had one, and I need to get that big bong smile.
