God bless zoticus and his wanton use of Greek mythology references, and for that matter his child like grinning. Stock cubes are still shit though, and a million miles away from umami

Maybe your sausage meat was too dry?

The sausage meat doesn't need to stick to the egg, encase the egg in the meat, and then crumb it, no sticking required!

if you have access to pork and a sharp knife or mincer, then you have access to sausage meat! Half belly and half shoulder gives a good mix of lean/fat, then add whatever herbs you have available and think suitable, plus seasoning.

3.55 million watched last weeks show, which I'm guessing is more people than watch you at work

I used to regularly buy goat from a farm shop near Frome in Somerset when I lived down there, it's the only place I've ever found it, and they used to sell what ever they could get. Now I'm in Cheshire, I've found numerous goats milk and goats cheese suppliers, but when I ask about buying a half or even whole one for the freezer, they look at me like I'm stupid. What to cook with it? Well, curry goat is the obvious one (did a passable imitation with mutton the other night, but it's still not what it could be) I also slow roasted a leg (pretty fucking good actually) and made burgers, sausages etc with the trimmings. I usually came back to curry in the end though. i don't think the organic tag is necessary, as Tim says, people assume goat, mutton etc to be free range, and to be honest, part of it's appeal is the price, 6 or 7 quid for a leg, that's what I'm talking about. I hope you choose to do it, and if you do, let me know, I'll buy one

Atari-Ya have a van that travels the country supplying Japanese expat communities at car plants etc with amazing quality fish, so if it's that good out of a van, it's sure to be pretty good at their restaurant

Well, night one saw us in Geisen Haus, good food, particularly great sausages and the hottest buffalo wings known to man, good job the Warsteiner came in pitchers to take the heat away! One of our crew has his birthday on Saturday so I think it will be Ricky Lys then.

Well, I fly to Ohio first thing in the morning, and I can't wait to try all these places you've all been talking about. Thanks everyone for your help, I'll be sure to report back on my return! Jon.

I don't care, but I didn't realise it was because I'm too wise, I thought it was because I don't really give a fuck.

Girls, girls, calm down, it's only a list in a magazine for fucks sake!

Excellent Steven and Bob, thanks very much. Jon

Well what great responses! Thanks a lot guys, I love the idea of good fried chicken, something you can never ever get in the UK, and knowing my colleagues (We're a TV crew going out there to film at a magicians convention) A seriously good breakfast is the best way to impress them. The lack of fine dining isn't a problem, if it was there I guess we would have sampled it, but I can live without it, local specials is really what I'm after, and I think we have that covered! Thanks again, Jon.

Well I'll have the pleasure of reading your no doubt prompt, informative and entertaining review before I go then, thus saving me the job of writing up the same meal

When are you at Sats Bapi? not the 14th is it? I hate Sat too

I'd read some good stuff on here about him, but seeing on the show really made me want to make the journey.

Hello from a UK egulleter, I'm visiting Canton, Ohio in May for 10 days and need some good dining recommendation's, everything from casual lunch spots to top end restaurants, if it's good, and in Canton I want to know about it! Thanks to you all in advance. Jon.

I thought it was about time Sat had his own thread, just booked a table there (not until June unfortunately) and wondered what other people had eaten there, we'll be going for the surprise tasting menu..........

The Cotton House is awful, I've been there a couple of times, at other peoples behest and found it to be very very poor, certainly not somewhere where you'd go for good food. Stock is good, as are Palmiro and Piccolino. The Lime tree is excellent, but it's in Didsbury rather than Manchester itself, so that might put you off.

Scored some shit for Chappie today, bought myself a jar, I've never been a Marmite fan, in fact I always thought it was pretty vile, but this Guinness stuff is really quite good! I can see loads of ways I can use it in cooking too.

PM me, i'm sure we can get you your fix

You just need to believe Jay, you did it without even realising, that's true power.

No idea if they're open on a Monday but I'd return to Sevendials like a shot next time I'm in Brighton.

We went to Sams in the end, because they had calves liver on the menu, when we arrived the first thing we were told was 'No liver' Which irked Jo somewhat, but despite this, it was a very, very good meal, suet puddings were perfect, omelette Arnold Bennet almost perfect, a long lazy lunch was exactly what we got. The cheese was a bit of a let down though, straight out of the fridge and a very uninspiring choice. Thanks everyone for your help.
