What are you munching on? v. gimmie toblerone n' beetroot

[ColtDan]

you people eat some fucking nice food

 

[Mailmonkey]

I was temped to try monkfish today as it was on special offer at the fish mongers but I was a bit put off by how ugly the fuckers are, maybe next time as i've heard they are tasty

you don't buy the whole fish, the monger will cut and skin you a bit of the tail...

is boneless, firm textured, mild flavour, very popular...bit overrated IMO...

good for curries/thai etc , as is firm so holds together well through cooking.

That chicken casserole I had was bogging. Usually when meat is falling off the bone, as it was today, that's a good thing but this just tasted soggy and drenched plus it was tasteless at best.

 

[Mailmonkey]

fucking breakfast! Scallops and coffee!

Making me crab sandwiches for lunch.

Got a big crab soup for tea later.

Now that sounds like my kinda food MM, Mrs atm is in this morning, maybe she will pop down the shops and get me some, or maybe I could just ask her to tell me to piss off.

Toast and Marmite is on the cards, I reckon, might get to go out for lunch if I'm a good boy :D

 

[ColtDan]

Toast, ham, beetroot, green peppers, red peppers

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Falafel.

In a doomed-to-failure attempt to outdo MailMonkey's shark fritters which he'll no doubt post about later.

 

[Mailmonkey]

never made falafels, nae meat in them fuckers ya ken?

no, we crab and sweetcorn soup, with scallops chucked in just after turning the heat off...

I've eaten about 30 scallops a day for last 3 days

Tomorrow am doing them in tempura batter, is surprisingly good way to cook scallops....

Then we can have a break,got shitloads more scallops, but had to freeze them in packs of 48

Crab all gone now doesn't feeze well anyway, so had to eat it , constantly, boy been taking crab sandwiches to school last couple of days even.

EDIT>>>>>don't eat shark, not sustainable, and I've never liked it when I've eaten it. We sometimes catch smoothhounds, but always return them, and fucking dogfish, I've eaten a few if they're too injured, poorly, swallowed the hook etc to go back alive, but they not the nicest fish....

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Crab is g/f's favourite. You could have posted me some mr postman. I've been keeping her up to date with this thread. Now she thinks I'm a cunt. She's not sure about scallops so don't go trying to make it better by forwarding them. You've ruined everything.

Kail, ricecakes with chili sauce, crackers with chili sauce, tuna

I've been entering a daily comp to win various festival tickets via pepsi. one of them posts stupid 'embarrassing' posts on your facebook* wall after you've entered (and not won) ...

the last one they posted made me think of you & this thread, Dan:

OMG, just discovered best food combination ever: crab paste on rich tea biscuits

------

obviously they forgot to microwave it. stupid fuckers ;p



* I have a fake FB acc to use for comps, I don't use it per se *spits*

 

[koneko]

I really should have a proper dinner but it's now probably too late and the binge monster has me in her grip

Its quite easy to cook too, not so easily overcooked like a lot of white fish.

for you Mr MM

 

[Mailmonkey]

Dan, you live and work near enough to somewhere that has plenty of crab boats, just go down the quay and buy a couple of live ones. Nice project for you cooking and picking a crab.....better than tinned too, promise ya.

Exmouth would be a good bet for you, or teignmouth, load of crab boats along that whole coast...

Thats an interesting thread there bogman, cheers! :D

you ever made it? I not tried.. made standard sausages, they were fucking great, only did it once though.

didn't know you could get dried blood....might look into it, nice little project

 

[bogman]

never made them myself, you could get talking to your local butcher and see what he says.

 

[Mailmonkey]

mate keeps pigs, not sure what happens to the blood, he gave me a head a couple of years ago....he doesn't kill them, he takes them to abbatoir....I'm sure he could bring me a few buckets of blood......

game on bogman, ta man , i got day off tomorrow so might take mate for a pint
