Cook me one and I shall certainly agree

I think I'm going to need to drag several people down to South London and show them how it's done properly.
Those who choose to believe will be vaccinated afterwards over coffee and brandy.

I expect an invite
and in return will cook... toast
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:28, Reply)

Is your toast of particularly exceptional quality?

(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:31, Reply)

it comes with pate
delicious pate

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:34, Reply)

I never said you weren't!
I'm just a bit intrigued by your offer of toast with delicious paté - it could make a good entrée, thinking about it.

Should I have a goose slaughtered in advance?
_{Put 'eacute' or 'egrave' in between an ampersand and a semicolon}
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:39, Reply)

Yes slaughter the goose
and proper roast potatoes please
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:45, Reply)

In keeping with
(a) my general tightfistedness and
(b) Kitty's insistence on adding a "Northerness" to the roast dinner,
I shall be using beef dripping instead of goose fat for the roast potatoes.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:48, Reply)

I normally side with the Southerners
but Northerners have it down when making roast dinners, especially when it comes to the gravy.

Southerners try and make it all poncy with fancy shit, that's not what a roast is all about.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:56, Reply)

Rest assured
I do not believe in paying more for the fat than I have for the roasting joint, and the most exotic vegetable in the roasting tin will be a parsnip.

At the risk of reviving an earlier conversation
When I can convince my housemates that it would not be "weird" to have "the internet" round for dinner of a Sunday...

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 15:08, Reply)

Very pretty
but does it taste nice? There are a good number of people on here who've eaten cake I made and proclaimed it awesome and -that- is the ultimate test.
(berk, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 15:08, Reply)

Of course it tastes
nice. Gingerbread was a speciality of mine.

Hmm....I do also have a friend who repeatedly says that I must visit her and her flatmates for dinner
_{(Which will probably be a bit vegan in nature)} but never actually gets round to organising it. Perhaps I should strike first and risk the cultural shock of having the internet and the real world round the same table (but naturally at opposite ends, giving each other shifty looks).

is your vaccine also referred to as giving a meat injection?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:31, Reply)

Depends. Some may prefer for it to be administered orally.

(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:33, Reply)

Or by meat suppository.

(Cave Duck, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:43, Reply)

I'm sure Lampito has made an instructional video on that method

(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:44, Reply)

I'm pretty sure Southerners aren't renowned for their roast dinners.

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:44, Reply)

No, but I learnt from a Northerner.
Well, an East Midlander, but he spent a few years in Manchester, so I'm sure the correct information filtered through somehow.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:45, Reply)

as far as I'm aware Northerners aren't either
and they have warped ideas about gravy.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:47, Reply)

You mean having it with chips?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:52, Reply)

Obviously the information has filtered through
Because despite being terribly, terribly Southern I do believe chips and gravy to be an excellent combination.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:54, Reply)

Chips and gravy is magnificent
Had it with sausage from the chippy last night.

Short of adding "whilst taking t' whippet for a walk"
you couldn't have made that sound much more Northern.

I don't like the thin southern gravy, it's horrible.
You shouldn't be able to see through gravy.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:57, Reply)

I concur
And yet past flatmates have always chided me for throwing cornflour into it. (edit: Yes, I know it solidified into a slab towards the end of the meal, but that's just because the buggers didn't eat it fast enough)
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 14:59, Reply)

I once made sweet and sour chicken from scratch
and I put too much cornflour in it because by the time we were half way through the meal it had kind of turned into a chicken jelly.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 15:15, Reply)

I have never made thin gravy in my life
gravy is one of my specialities
