Just felt a bit peckish so I made myself a treble salad butty. Cucumber, Lettuce, Tomato, onion, salad cream with black pepper sprinkled all over it.  A salad sandwich? That's not a sandwich. In fact that isn't even real food! Lol. It's food to me. I said too the wife I will make my eats tonight. Making myself some spaghetti on toast with 2 free range fried eggs in a moment, all runny eggs. The wife said "YUK". It's all this transfer speculation going around is driving me crazy.....just like Woody. |

Looks quite good, like a Mustard sauce when smoking pork butt, actually coat it, doesn't have mustard taste but it
seals in the juices and makes it tender as hell.
I like to make a lot of my own sauces just throw stuff together till it tastes the way you want it too

I bought the unholy and devils wings sauces, and they taste amazing. I knocked up some burgers and slaw then drizzled copious amounts on em!
Try fennel seeds in your burgers, surprisingly good.

Fennel works in a lot of things, very nice to have to hand. I'll look an see about getting some of those sauces, like the recipes you throw down, always good to try different things. Those that enjoy using hot chilis, check out ChiliPepperMadness.com, free newletter, and some very good recipes get passed along, using hot as fire chilis for flavor and not as WMD BBQ sauce recipe there this last newsletter looks quite nice |

Aye, and with a nice Mango salsa or perhaps some guacamole on side very very nice
Chorizo is a wonderful sausage can use it so many different ways
Got a very good Mexican grocery store about 8 miles from here that has some great homemade Chorizo and
very nice meat counter
An I can frequently get my very favorite Chiltepin, which I think is the "original" bird chili. Not much bigger than a small split shot or buckshot, and it has
instant fire, then fades out. love throwing them into salsas or any kind of dish for the burst they give

Man, you live in a great place. The UK is getting there food wise. I remember when a Vesta beef chow mein was exotic. If you're unsure what that is, have a Google! The big factor here is all the exotic stuff is imported. I remember having a pineapple straight from the bush whilst in Sri Lanka, I've never tasted better. It's funny really, all I used to think about was beer and getting pissed, but food has taken that mantle now! Especially chili related stuff.

It's funny really, all I used to think about was beer and getting pissed, but food has taken that mantle now! Especially chili related stuff. you can mix the beer/alcohol and food thing very nicely actually. with the bloody mary  myself and the fiancée look for the top bloody mary places wherever we travel (this is infinitely easier in the US) and the best ones usually come with half a meal attached as a "garnish". some personal favourites were a place in philadelphia where the BM came with a slider, place in seattle included a mini hotdog on a cocktail stick and a place in austin, texas where they shoved a load of bacon on top. it's also great to see how spicy they can make it! i was never a fan due to the tomato juice but she opened my eyes. also had the nicest cocktail ive ever had in san antonio, vodka, jalapeno brine, pickle brine, simple syrup with the glass rimmed with chilli salt and pepper and garnished with pickled jalapenos instead of olives. the pickle jalapini-tini. delicious! |

It's funny really, all I used to think about was beer and getting pissed, but food has taken that mantle now! Especially chili related stuff. I was stationed in Hawaii, surrounded by Pineapple fields. We used to buy one at a stand and then sit it out till completely golden then put it in the freezer. It was unbelievable, could literately get small blisters form the acid and sugar. Honestly, since I've been back living in US since 83 have not had pineapple but about 4 times, and it was brought back by brothers and also daughter when they went to Hawaii on vacation. Once you have it fresh like that anything else doesn't taste right. Love this time of year here in the midwest with the farmers markets all starting up and all the fresh stuff coming on. A great dish for summer is one we call "pot liquor" get 4 or 5 pounds green beans from garden, 2 decent sized onions, 4 or 5 nice thinly cut pork shoulder steaks bun of garlic from garden. wash and snap the beans into big pot, take the onions cut them in half and slice very thinly throw in pot, then peel garlic and crush with knife an throw in pot, salt, pepper, couple tablespoons sirracha, then put in water till just on top of beans and put on med low to start simmering. Use about half a stick of butter and brown the port steak, I use Cookies flavor enhancer and salt and pepper on the pork steak. put pork steak into kettle, bones and all, make sure to leave the fat on the meat, it will cook into the dish leaving just the meat and FLAVOR. Add a couple tablespoons of a good pork broth seasoning and just let it simmer till the beans are done, the pork falls off the bones leaving them bare, and then give them some more time. I'll get it on the simmer an let it go a good 6 hours or so before serving. Serve with some homemade corn bread or hushpuppies, and sliced fresh cucumbers and sliced tomatoes that are still warm from sun an just picked. Dozen ears of "incredible" yellow sweet corn and sticks of butter to roll it in. Lots of napkins or even bibs Simple, inexpensive and the flavors are out of this world, all perfect together and taste like home. An it is better each time you heat it up and serve it. |

Works for me, generally have at least a throwdown or 2 a month out at Sis an Bro-in-laws place, catch bunch of bluegills (Bream) put some meat on smoker everyone brings something as a side and we have a good old time. Kids/grandkids put on the life vests and go float around the pond, they have 3 labs, and their kids have a couple, so the kids and the Labs have a blast. Generally end the evening with bon fire |
