Can you get Jamon de Serrano or Iberico to go with the Manchego? Love the stuff. We just started getting it in the US but it's horrendously expensive.

I admit Tinker i have never tried this. I often have pancetta but i will seek some of this Iberico out. I know where i will be able to get some. Decent pancetta here is $70 kg + so imagine this will be a similar price maybe?
 
Dry cured ham, foreign or domestic, is really expensive here. Like $70 US a pound for Iberico but less if you want to go the Italian route and try Serrano di Parma. Truly, it's best just shaved paper thin and cold or room temp. There's one company that does a USa dry cure with a hickory smoking that's excellent, but since it takes 2 years to produce one, I kind of see the problem. That's less, maybe $40 an LB. All the producers really want tyou to buy the whol e ham, and who's got that type of cashh? Plus you'd be eating it forever.
 
Prosciutto is always worth a go. I eat pancetta raw ( thinly sliced ) even though most people will say it needs cooking. Italians eat it raw so i do too. I am going to go seek out this iberico tomorrow now. I have an awesome deli near my place. It will have it for sure.

For Koneko: I use the NYT recipe with some changes-this is for loves: I prefer individual round balls topperd with a smaller ball-brush with egg and watch closely in the oven.


Rising time depends on inside temp and humidity. If it's hot and humid, the dough rises like an alien being. I also knead after the first rising-it makes the dough easier to handle.

If you want to add chocolate chips, find the smallest size chip possible and stir them in before the first rising or knead them in carefully after.

If you prefer the traditional rolls, divide the dough in quarters. Each quarter should be divided into 4 balls and put on a cookie sheet or in cupcake cups. The last quarter should be divided into 12 small balls and used to top the larger one-make an indentation.

Baking time for the rolls is about 25 minutes-watch carefully-you may need a few minutes more or less.

Thank you Tinker :)

I have everything in to make that though will need to convert "cups etc" into grams lol. Do you use a dough hook or hand to make it. I do bread by hand. Loved when you say if it's "hot and humid" 8o We don't have this problem in Scotland :D

Tbh I'd not put choc chips in it. I seldom get a craving for sugary things unless I have a bad attack of the munchies (which nowadays is seldom...) With that much butter who needs choc chips! I prefer the butteryness.

Bread is very easy to make at home but it's nothing like shop bought, I guess homemade brioche is a bit the same. I'd definitely like to give it a whirl though when I'm hankering after some delicious carbs. My normal diet is very low carb these days but I do have cravings and there's nothing like proper cooked from scratch goodies to fulfil that.

Alas I've not had much success with sweet yeast bakes. My last goes at cinnamon rolls was atrocious! :!

Many thanks *hugs* <3 I'll let you know how it goes. Any chance of a pic from you of your normal bake to see what I'm aspiring to!


We are very fortunate to be able to buy all sorts of delicatessen goodies here including Jamon de Serrano or Iberico cured meats. Our local Lidl even has a whole joint for you to cut as you desire. Mortadella and Bresaola are always on the shelf, so rich but so lovely presented as an antipasti platter. One of my favourites.

That one is £29.99

Very popular for xmas / new year.

If it's cured Consumer it's not raw! It's the same with smoked salmon.

Are you folks from overseas able to buy Scottish cured produce easily?

Consumer we've not seen one of your foodie plates for a while and I do love a piccie - what about posting as pic of these famous bacon and egg rolls please X

Mushroom soup on the menu for tonight. People tell me I don't eat enough - they're wrong.

I don't eat at all. Fucking methadone.

:D

I'm planting a mind worm in you so that your trip tonight is consumed by you producing an endless amount of methadone jokes ;)

Hope that is not actually the case and you have a good night!
 
If only wit was shit, then you would know the methadone is always in full effect due to my constipated attempts at humour.

Hopefully there should still be a decent tummy bug on the shrooms I've picked - may get things moving in more ways than you can (or would want) to imagine.

You checked out that lecture yet Don?
 
Heh, I remember coming up on a shroom trip and having the runs and having to vomit at the same time. The toilet bowl didn't make for a pretty sight.

I'm going to give it a watch tonight, man :)

I'll share my notes in the Astronomy thread ;)
 
Recently finished munching mac 'n' cheese wiv chillies 'n' chorizo - must confess it was acquired from the reduced section - and was initially put off by the wee-urd Scotchitch obsession wiv neon-orange cheese - but was actually really tasty... wiv multiple additions.

In vaguely related news, Ms K's profiterole pud (feat. multiple mousses) was beyond delish... but her cheeseboard addition may well have won the Most Delish Possible Thing trophy hands down - cheezum christicles that stuff is amazing 8o8(8o

I'm glad you enjoyed the profiterole pud from Markie - alas not homemade, but it is pretty damn moreish. I wondered if that cheese would be any good, pleased to hear it was a decent addition to your cheeseboard %)

I thought that was a dessert exclusive to Canary Wharf and City Of London in these isles.

Are those places even a part of the British Isles 8o I suppose you as international man of fruit oh-yeh loom god know these things :p Anyhoo sounds like you had a tasty tea, needed bacon with it - see Consumer.

Makes me ashamed to even admit I'd been into M&S.



I had leftover smoked gammon that I'd slow cooked and frozen. Really yummy and moist :sus:. Loads steamed kale, broccoli and courgettes with white pepper and chilli flakes as the side. Man has as yet not eaten but there is a "local" steak pie for him and beans if he is a good with his name on it for later ;)

No puds, no sugar, wee minuscule carbs :|

That one of those local steak pies sold at local Co-Ops, Ms K? Lawdy are those things fekkin' insanely good. Tenner apiece for the full-size ones here but they seem to be fazing them out due to low sales. We picked up one of the "family size" ones for a fiver a while back and two "...broken family size?" ones even more recently for <£3 - all from the reduced section. Good gawd those fekkers are delish though <3

I know the ones you mean but it's not one of those, it's our "town" pie haha. Hot water crust bottom, steak and gravy filling and puff pastry top. I'll get you some for the next time we see you. They do a steak and haggis one too, that's popular.

A decent butchers big steak pie with sausages in it is traditional for new year around these parts - a must for your first Scottish hogmanay dinner I reckon!
 
Drug pigs cannot survive alone on PUNS Mr Moderator :p On topic or we'll report yeh =D


Profiteroles indeed...
