Home-cooking

RE: Home-cooking

Ok wysiwyg,I will tell the truth,I have had the ormers but didn’t enjoy it that much,infact I didn’t really eat them only tasted…just makes it sound a bit better for anyone wanting to cook them! I guess the recipe is nice for anyone who likes ormers :9
I don’t really like Bean jar,only on parties is it really cooked in my family because it makes a good hot meal along with things such as Chili or spaghetti. Anyway,here is the recipe:
Ingredients

1 Pigs trotter, shin of beef,half a pound of Haricot Beans, half a pound of Butter beans, 2 Large Onions chopped, seasoning, 2 pints beef stock or water.

Method

Soak the beans overnight and drain.
Place the soaked beans in a large ovenproof casserole or bean jar along with the meat, onions and stock, then season.
Cover and cook in a low oven ( 100C) for 6 to 8 hours or overnight. Top with extra water or stock if necessary, season to taste and serve with fresh bread.

RE: Home-cooking

Saab – I didn’t think that anyone actually likes ormers! How about telling people what’s in a bean jar!

RE: Home-cooking

About Tandoori Chicken …. its made by different tastes, recipies etc… its called Tandoori Chicken because its made in a Tandoor … a kind of a stove you can say made of mud and clay. So it differs from place to place and chef to chef. But the REAL taste you can only find in Indian local small resturants, the resturants which are near the road side (they are called ‘Dhabas’, just seating for you can say 6-8 people). But these Dhabas have the most authentic Indian food.

RE: Home-cooking

Kabir, do you got the original recipy for Tandory chickin!
I just love it, but I think the food manufacturs in the netherlands modifyd the taste to the Dutch standard. I want to taste the real Tandori chicken!

Marmite Sandwich

“You either love it or you hate it” – Marmite a.k.a. Yeast Extract.

Here’s how to make a MARMITE SANDWICH

Ingredients

2 x Slices of Bread
1 x Pot of Butter (thats if you like butter. I don’t, so I enjoy my sandwich without it)
1 x Pot of marmite/yeast extract – depends what they call it in your country.

What to do

Lay out your two slices of bread on the table and spread butter over each slice. Then spread some marmite over the top of the butter. Place one of the slices on top of the other and cut. It is now ready to serve.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 05-09-02 AT 02:00 PM (GMT)]RECIPE FOR HOLY WATER:

1.Take 1 cup of ordinary water and boil the hell out of it. 😀

Here’s what real home cooking is about,

Smoke Bombs

4 parts sugar

6 parts potassium nitrate (Salt Petre)

Heat this mixture over a LOW flame until it melts, stirring well. Pour it into a future container and, before it solidifies, imbed a few matches into the mixture to use as fuses. One pound of this stuff will fill up a whole block with thick, white smoke

Napalm

Mix styrofoam into gasoline until you have a sticky paste.

[b]Calcium Carbide Bomb[/b]

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.Obtain some calcium carbide. This is the stuff (can be found at nearly any hardware store)Take a few pieces of this stuff (it looks like gravel) and put it in a glass jar with some water. Put a lid on tightly. The carbide will react with the water to produce acetylene carbonate which is similar to the gas used in cutting torches. Eventually the glass with explode from internal pressure. If you leave a burning rag nearby, you will get a nice fireball!

Touch Explosives

This is sort of a mild explosive, but it can be quite dangerous in large quantities. To make touch explosive (such as that found in a snap-n-pop, but more powerful), use this recipe:

Mix iodine crystals into ammonia until the iodine crystals will not dissolve into the ammonia anymore. Pour off the excess ammonia and dry out the crystals on a baking sheet the same way as you dried the thermite (in other words, just let it sit overnight!).
Be careful now because these crystals are now your touch explosive. Carefully wrap a bunch in paper (I mean carefully! Friction sets ’em off!) and throw them around.. pretty loud, huh? They are fun to put on someone’s chair. Add a small fish sinker to them and they can be thrown a long distance (good for crowds, football games, concerts, etc.)

[u]Paint Bombs [/u]

To make a pain bomb you simply need a metal pain can with a refastenable lid, a nice bright color paint (green, pink, purple, or some gross color is perfect!), and a quantity of dry ice. Place the paint in the can and then drop the dry ice in. Quickly place the top on and then run like hell! With some testing you can time this to a science. It depends on the ratio of dry ice to paint to the size of the can to how full it is. If you are really pissed off at someone, you could place it on their doorstep, knock on the door, and then run!! Paint will fly all over the place!!

Plastic Explosives

Common household bleach contains a small amount of potassium chlorate, which can be extracted by the procedure that follows.

First off, you must obtain:

1. A heat source (hot plate, stove, etc.)

2. A hydrometer, or battery hydrometer

3. A large Pyrex, or enameled steel container (to weigh chemicals)

4. Potassium chloride

Take one gallon of bleach, place it in the container, and begin heating it. While this solution heats, weigh out 63 grams of potassium chloride and add this to the bleach being heated. Constantly check the solution being heated with the hydrometer, and boil until you get a reading of 1.3. If using a battery hydrometer, boil until you read a FULL charge.

Take the solution and allow it to cool in a refrigerator until it is between room temperature and 0°C. Filter out the crystals that have formed and save them. Boil this solution again and cool as before. Filter and save the crystals.

Take the crystals that have been saved, and mix them with distilled water in the following proportions: 56 grams per 100 milliliters distilled water. Heat this solution until it boils and allow to cool. Filter the solution and save the crystals that form upon cooling. This process of purification is called “fractional crystallization”. These crystals should be relatively pure potassium chlorate.

Powder these to the consistency of face powder, and heat gently to drive off all moisture.

Now, melt five parts Vaseline with five parts wax. Dissolve this in white gasoline (camp stove gasoline), and pour this liquid on 90 parts potassium chlorate (the powdered crystals from above) into a plastic bowl. Knead this liquid into the potassium chlorate until intimately mixed. Allow all gasoline to evaporate.

Finally, place this explosive into a cool, dry place. Avoid friction, sulfur, sulfides, and phosphorous compounds. This explosive is best molded to the desired shape and density of 1.3 grams in a cube and dipped in wax until water proof. These block type charges guarantee the highest detonation velocity. Also, a blasting cap of at least a 3 grade must be used.

RE: Home-cooking

My best simple dish is fresh pasta (something simple, like fusili) served with chopped up bacon and a tomato-based vegetable stir-in sauce.

If I’ve got time, I like shepherds pie. Beef mince, cooked in beef stock cubes and tomato puree. Put in a caserole dish and cover with mashed potato (mashed with olive oil, not milk). Fork over the mash to make ridges over it. Place under the grill until the potato becomes crips. Then serve with gravy or baked beans!

Restaurant wise, I’m partial to a tender swordfish served with vegetabled and a lemon sauce.

RE: Home-cooking

Geforce i make the best scrambled eggs on the planet.

break eggs in a non-stick pan, add salt, little milk, bit of oil and stir continiously over a fire till it starts getting a texture. Remove it from the fire depending on whether you want it light or thick. Get some toasts ready, nice smattering of butter or cheese spread, nice salami and cold cuts and you have yourself a squasher special.

Remember – non-stick utensils otherwise scrambled egg pans are real tough to clean.

Bet nobody knew this :+

Kabir if I ever meet you, I’m going to take you up on the Fish Pulow.

RE: Home-cooking

This is going to sound rediculasly simple as KabirT cooked water, but it really is unknown, pan fried chicken. Yes, thats it, just chicken, nothing else, no oil, butter, spices, nothing. People dont realize chicken has a very oily meat. If you fry it, all that oil comes out and makes a very rich flavored frying oil. When people try it, I swear theyll ask what herbs you used to cook it.

RE: Home-cooking

You would be surprised about how great could the Traditional English cooking be. Fantastic toast, delicious puddings and desserts, prime cuts and wonderful country kitchen. About Spanish cooking there are too many things. Galician cooking tend to be natural. Seafood, beef, and nice stews. No paella, no tortilla, no sangria. And almond cake

RE: Home-cooking

I would think the UK would be more curry than pizza!!

Here are two traditional Guernsey recipies.Being surrounded by water,the main dish has to be fish.
Ingredients:
Four Ormers,Flour,Butter,Fish Stock Cube,one Onion,one slice of bacon ,Water,Seasoning.

Method:
*Remove Ormers from their shells and scrub thoroughly
Wrap in baking parchment, cover with a dry cloth and beat until tender.

*Soak the Ormers for several hours

*Remove Ormers from soaking, retaining the water for use as stock.

*Season the flour then sprinkle over the Ormers and fry in the butter until lightly brown (approx 2 mins each side).

*Place the browned Ormers in a casserole dish with some finely chopped onion and chopped bacon. Pour over the the soaking stock and crumble a fish stock cube into the juice.

*Place the casserole in a very low oven (100C) for 4 hours.
Thicken the gravy if necessary and serve with mashed potatoes and green vegetables.

I’ve had it a few times and its delicious!The trouble is that it takes so long to make.Not many restraunts actually serve this anymore.
*******************
This bread is so tasty!!You can buy it in packs over here.Its our very own fruite bread called Guernsey Gâche.

Ingredients:
1lb plain flour, half pound butter, 12 oz Sultanas, 2 oz mixed peel, 1oz fresh yeast, 1tsp Sugar, 1 tsp Salt, Half Pint Warm Water.
