I was working in Preston a couple of years ago. The locals were raving about meat and potato pies from a local bakery. I tried them and they were shite. Horrible short crust pastry, slimy mashed potatoes and a tiny sliver of meat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonHMFC Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 5 hours ago, Paul Kersey said: I'm on holiday in London right now. Wherever I go I always try the local cuisine. So I went for some Pie, Mash and Liquor with a side order of Jellied Eels. I went to F Cooke, a proper old school place with white tiles on the walls and sawdust on the floor. The pies were alright, though not as good as a pie from most butchers or bakeries in Scotland. The eels weren't as rank as I thought they would be. Really just fish, but with a slightly tough texture. Never taken to eels, find you spend ages chewing on them. Pie and mash however is great, was that the one in Hoxton. The Manze in Tower Bridge is very good, probably my favourite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never have it again but I'm glad that I tried it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Had an unexpectedly excellent dinner lastnight. Raked out out 3 wee tubs of frozen leftover curry sauce from the Gulnar, and found some frozen naan bread dough.... Wee curry buffet, homemade naans and pilau rice. Excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be controversial, but I think sous vide meat is absolutely shite. Consistent internal cooking yes, but flavour absolutely nowhere near good enough, unless it’s been cooked prior in some other way or finished in a pan after the sous vide is finished, and even then I’d prefer it wasn’t in the sous vide at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it needs to be pan or grill finished for sure and probably for the likes of a steak its pointless. For being able to do stuff for like 36 hours though its the only option. Likes of brisket fir example IMO its the best way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Haggis, neeps and tatties again for tea tonight. Just over a week after the last serving. Not waiting a year before plating up this magnificent dish again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Went to Christies in Falkirk tonight. Scottish tapas. No idea why I havent been before, think I had lazily looked at the menu and found it uninspiring. The place is superb. Food is excellent. A good idea very well executed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to hope our posts don’t attract the scum/vermin that inhabit this online holding pen of reprobates to our Christies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Tried goat for the first time last night. Like a more intense lamb, less fatty mutton with the texture of braised steak. Will have again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) I’m lucky enough to be spending 4 nights in Falkirk courtesy of work soon. Where am I eating on the company expenses? suggestions most welcome. 1 night will likely be the teahouse, 3 more nights to fill. Would like a decent Indian one night.

Aye, Christies, Sanam for yer Indian. The Gulnar is good but the Sanam takes it by a whisker for me. 1 day left...... Have a look at Croft and Creel, i've no been yet but heard good things. If you prefer something a bit less heavy one night Sumo is excellent too. ETA just minded Ciro's Italian at Glenbervie Golf Course is very good also.
