I have a friend who shall remain nameless who invited me round for roast chicken. Put a huge raw chicken in his gas oven at full blast and decided it would be ready when it was brown. I had to almost wrestle him away from the oven as I turned the dial down. Then he opened a large can of carrots and boiled it for two hours untill the chicken was done. Ten minutes before the chicken came out of the oven he deiced to boil some potatoes. The result... Just cooked chicken (Very close to the bone but ok) Carrots dissolved in can brine. Potatoes raw most of the way through. Then to top it all off the gravey was simply the fat poured over everything. Now this guys quite sensitive so there was no way I could not eat the meal. What I couldn't understand was how he ate the meal with such relish! Helping himself to seconds and commenting on how good it was! That meal was a true test of friendship.
