Pancakes are all well and good, but what else needs a day of its own?

(And tell us what your plans for tomorrow are)

BADGERS

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 3 March 2003 15:50 (twenty-three years ago)

haha a question came up about "haslet" at my mum and dad's (like what exactly *is* it and can you still buy it, at a supermarket deli? we used to have it for lunch as a cold meat thing, w.ham and salami and stuff)

anyway we looked it up and the dictionary said "pork roasted on a spit/pork ABOUT to be roasted on a spit/pig fry"

apparently it derives from hasta = latin for a spear = a spit!!

anyway haha "pigfry"

I keep forgetting what day it is. I am feeling incredibly MOROSE at the moment (I think it is CHEMICALLY INDUCED so don't worry there is no need for real actual sympathy *sobs*) so I will probably get home, realise I can't remember the ingredients, realise how worthless this makes me and CRY.

You can't eat badgers and besides june 21st is national badger day.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 3 March 2003 15:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Ooh, I meant to say which foodstuff, though I guess that could still be what you meant.

(I could click the admin button and make RickyT look like a cannibal fule)

I am also the best gollum on ILE.

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:01 (twenty-three years ago)

4 tablespoons self raising flour: 1 tablespoon suet: water till doughy: kneed lots of air into the dough. leave to rest before rolling and throwing in stew.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:04 (twenty-three years ago)

I bought aunt bessie's microwaveable ones. I am v.lazy and afraid of frying pans and especially eggs.

― Graham (graham), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:05 (twenty-three years ago)

there is no hope for a man who can't make pan cakes from scratch using a winnie the pooh recipe.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:06 (twenty-three years ago)

those aunt bessies ones look grim - kinda like peelings of judith chalmers's skin. do let us know how they turn out though

― j0e (j0e), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm all for dumpling day btw

― j0e (j0e), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Red Shoe Day would be nice. We could also watch the Wizard of Oz/Red Shoes/Red Shoe Diaries all night on telly.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Maybe I shall have pancakes tomorrow in celebration.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:17 (twenty-three years ago)

make sure you make them english style in our honour.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:24 (twenty-three years ago)

English-style = naked.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:27 (twenty-three years ago)

use the winnie the pooh recipe

4 tablespoons of flour:1 egg:1/2 UK pint milk

whisk together. Leave batter to stand for a little before using.

Put some butter in the frying pan and take it to the point of browning. Coat the bottom of the fryingpan in a thin layer of batter. after its cooke for a bit you'll be able to slide the pancake about the pan. ones its properly loose from the bottom of the pan. Flip cook the other side. Serve with dark muscavado sugar and fresh lemon juice. Roll up the pancake. Lick the dribbly sugar lemon juice from the plate before continuing.

Also dark and light treacle, jam, chesnut puree are sweet good fillings.

I made a great pancetta, shallot and tomato filling the other week. spiced with smoked hot paprika and parmesan grated on top of the rolled up pancake. I shoved it under the grill to melt the cheese.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Ed, are those tablespoons heaped, rounded or level?

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:37 (twenty-three years ago)

or pointy?

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Is it cold in your kitchen, Mark?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:45 (twenty-three years ago)

it is just right

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:46 (twenty-three years ago)

heaped

1 heaped tablespoon is approximately 1 ounce, for most flours and sugars sugar won't heap as high but is denser. I have a nice old silver tablespoon which is quite a deep one which holds almost exactly an ounce, (i've actually measured it on a lab scales, I'm so sad).

― Ed (dali), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:47 (twenty-three years ago)

oh o just remembered when we were clearing out at mum and dad's we found an old cooking thermometer which had temperatures of various items marked (jam, doughnuts, fishfry etc)

anyway, it had a gradation for the temperature to make CRACK!!

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:50 (twenty-three years ago)

mark's mum and dad = secret drug barons

― Ed (dali), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Not so secret now! (NICE GOING MARK, RATTING OUT THE FOLX)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Mark is cruel.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 March 2003 16:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Is there a Fig Newton's day yet?

― David Beckhouse (David Beckhouse), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 00:30 (twenty-three years ago)

There should be a GYOZA DAY because I can eat gyoza til it oozes out of my pores. Well not literally, that would be gross.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 00:41 (twenty-three years ago)

As far as I'm concerned, every day could be gyoza day.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 00:47 (twenty-three years ago)

To each their own...I think I'll whip up some apple cobbler, maybe top that with a little ice cream.

― j.lu (j.lu), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 00:51 (twenty-three years ago)

trayce have you had the gyoza at ito?

Can I just say that the quality of recipies on ILE is its most underrated feature? I want to compile them all, and make a cookbook that will make us all millionaires.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 10:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Mmm, gyoza cobbler....

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 15:17 (twenty-three years ago)

The cookbook could be called I Lard Everything.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 15:26 (twenty-three years ago)

I Eat Everything seems more in line with the implicit perviness of the place.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 16:16 (twenty-three years ago)

I've studied Ed's Winnie The Pooh recipe for pancake batter very carefully and I am disappointed that there is not one single "tiddly-pom" in it.

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 16:35 (twenty-three years ago)

What does "mechanically-reclaimed" mean, anyway? It sounds like a spectacularly American term, but I have no clue, despite being a spectacular American. (I mean, reclaimed from what? There was a big news story about a kielbasa theft once, but no one sent robots to its rescue ...)

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 16:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I Eat Everything seems more in line with the implicit perviness of the place.

Met hugh fearnley-whittingstall's agent at a party a few weeks back, who knows? Ed flipped.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 17:03 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm sorry just for you, C J.

I'll add a line

Eat with Hunny, Tiddly pom

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 17:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Eat with Hunny, Tiddly pom

Okay, I know ILE is a pervy place, but did anyone else read those last two words as "Tiddly porn"?

Dang Perry to thread!
