Resting is what its all about for rareness in Lamb Edit..i read that wrong....rest before sounds good anyway, but i ment resting afterwards

Three Cheers for Malawry....HIP HIP!

Maybe they were Nickn's stamped ones? I would assume soaking washes away flavour , so yes, IMHO

Nickn, what did you use for fake roe?

I have been browsing Harden's and noticed that Chez Bruce scores well 3rd in the top gastronomic experience 3rd in the favourite section 8th in the romance section and 1st in the Modern British(+£40)

Thanks Dave.I thought i had heard of it before i was told by a yank, now i know where. Much prefer the book to the film , but that would be off topic

Only had ours i'm afraid,but i'm assuming there the same thing.Kings, Queens ,Diver ,Day boat, etc all ring bells here.An American told me that they stamp out Skate wings into discs and sell them as fake scallops on your side of the pond?

Thats thrown in the pan with the scallops.Smoked Back Bacon.....not a bacon and pistachio dressing

Got my copy this week.Gary, what does you copy say on page 22?

Pistachio Dressing Toasted Pistachio nuts about 4oz Blitzed with hand blender with spoon coarse grain mustard, good splash white wine vinegar, few Basil leaves,.when smooth, add EVOO untill the dessired consistancy.Oh salt and pepper to taste. This can split easily, so a dash of hot water whisked in will bring it back

I like it when Marcosan leaves the table...when else can we talk about him?????

Yes dear, i'm here My version is blanched in water, drained, coated with castor sugar(lots) dried overnight, then deep fried.A standard Petit Four for Margot's.

Duly noted

Thanks Bux. Yes , there are several spelling mistakes and other stuff i want to change.Not petty at all.I just need to learn how to make the changes, then i can tinker with the content.Th pictures don't show up for me either.This is a work in progress

Britcook, as i said its needs work, but its better then nowt.We run a simple bistro, so a simple website suits.We have been offline for months, so its just good to be back with some presence on the net.

Margot's New Site Finally, we are back on line! New site still needs some bits and bobs doing, but it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Thanks to Dad for his help, also need some lessons in changing the content now

Depends on your wine merchant.We work with our merchant writing our wine list, and also on Wines of the Month.We have had a relationship for the last 7 years, and i am happy to use there knowledge to our advantage. I wouldn't think our wine list was "easy to spot", just because it was written with a big input from the supplier.It is in his interest to make my customers and me happy with a well balanced, thought out list. Obviously, a shady wine merchant would write a list that suits him best, but thankfully not all wine people are the same

Just did a google search on tap water charging and found thisclick Small world huh?

I believe we are allowed to charge for tap water if we want to. Maybe one of you lawyer types can help ?
