It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that sitting in the Ferry with bottles of Rose on your table brought all the gals to my yard and they were like, it's better than yaaars. “So in the closet he has found the magical land of Narnia” type post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Don't order anything in a restaurant that you couldn't cook better at home. I would include steaks and pizza in this. Fish and chips is a safe bet as I don't have a deep fat fryer because it stinks the house out...

You sound like a cultured fellow, well acquainted with haute cuisine. Better than eating it cold I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A medium-rare steak is pretty straightforward. Making the pizza dough from scratch is a bit of a pussy (Dundee term without an English translation) but worth the effort. The tomato sauce is dead easy... -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I was more being facetious about fish and chips being the best way to show a professional chef’s mastery because he has a fryer, rather than doubting your steak cooking and pizza making abilities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an example of something I would consider ordering. To be honest, restaurants are well capable of making a mess of a basic fried haddock by overcooking it or not allowing the batter to drain off the oil properly... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Red wine and lemonade is a superb summer drink; red wine and Irn Bru (or Coca Cola, which the Spanish actually do) is crossing the line into total fucking nonsense.. My mate worked in a bar and a guy came in and asked for a pint of half lager half Coca Cola. Something I’ve never heard of before or since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to cook a pizza properly requires a ridiculously hot pizza oven, which is both i) unlikely to be found in a home kitchen and ii) would be ridiculously inefficient to heat up to temperature for one-two batches, even if you owned one. So pizza actually falls into the 'can't (or would be idiotic to) replicate' camp if you're going to any proper establishment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about the pizza base being left to rise, kneaded properly and brushed with olive oil. Not complicated but time-consuming... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would include steaks and pizza in this. I'd exclude pizza as it's basically a toasted cheese sandwich and why people rave about it is mystifying. Other than that you are absolutely right. Steak is, by a country mile, the easiest thing to cook at home and requires no more expertise than having a pan hotter than you think and to cook the steak for less time than you think. It's an absolute piece of piss to cook 'restaurant quality' steak at home. Those two aside, your assertion, "Don't order anything in a restaurant that you couldn't cook better at home" is on the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Steak should be cooked on chargrill, which I doubt many people have in their homes. I occasionally have a steak at home, but it is not restaurant quality when cooked in a normal pan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Tesco Finest salami and artichoke pizza that I'll put in the oven in the morning and have it for breakfast after I shower: I paid £3 for it and any normal person going out for a meal and asking for pizza has no place discussing food. It's nothing more than toasted bread and a few toppings. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
