Boudicca 702 Posted March 3, 2006 Worcestershire sauce and tabasco sauce, two essentials for any kitchen. Plus Branstons sandwich pickle. How could I have forgotten Branstons? And there's always the great Marmite debate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted March 3, 2006 I love to eat. All sorts of foods. I enjoy steak, italian, sandwhiches...And the list goes on. Although my woman doesn't know how to cook really. I'm afraid what dinner will be if we live together some day. Hell we'll probably go out to fancy restraunts 5 times a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,904 Posted March 4, 2006 I must be one of the few people who neither loves nor hates marmite. I think it's ok in small doses. I'll eat it but could happily live without it. How do people feel about honey? I love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Oates 21 Posted March 4, 2006 How do people feel about honey? I love it. Honey is just wonderful. Like with wine, there are so many different flavours; some from different plant varieties - lavender, rosemary, pine, acacia, clover, orange blossom, linden etc; some from more general classification - woodland, grassland, flowers, moorland, each giving the flavour of its particular countryside. In answer to your question, I get quite emotional about honey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted March 4, 2006 I must be one of the few people who neither loves nor hates marmite. I think it's ok in small doses. I'll eat it but could happily live without it. Marmite is OK in homoeopathic amounts. My brother-in-law once remarked, when sniffing at a jar of Marmite, that the smell reminded him of a mass grave. That image never left me. How do people feel about honey? I love it. I don't like sweet stuff, so I don't care about honey. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted March 4, 2006 How do people feel about honey? I love it. I love honey too, especially honeycomb, these people produce fabulous honey and their crunchy honey mustard is amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted March 4, 2006 . their crunchy honey mustard is amazing Gulden's spicy mustard seems to be my alltime favorite. Infact I just had it with my lunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Oates 21 Posted March 4, 2006 I don't like sweet stuff, so I don't care about honey. regards, Hein Strangely, I don't find honey particularly sweet (except some factory blended varieties, which can be pretty disgusting.) I love honey too, especially honeycomb, these people produce fabulous honey and their crunchy honey mustard is amazing. Heather honeycomb - sounds great. Heather is one of the great flavours. Another of my favourites is from the garrigue in southern France. This is a fairly strong flavour derived from the many aromatic plants growing in that landscape. Right, that's it - I'm off for a snack! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scsibear 4 Posted March 4, 2006 I love everything that is sweet, usually the sweeter the better, so naturally... I love Honey Just a shame I can't eat anything sweet anymore...Diabetes saw to that, so now I eat all the stuff that's good for you and tastes like cardboard ...YUCH.....So I'm easily Blackmailed..honest..try it, please..try it As for Marmite - it's good for greasing the wheel bearings on your car, but as a snack !!!

Lady Grendel 139 Posted March 5, 2006 Just made a life changing decision in the chat room - decided to give up gravy for lent. So any none gravy recipes would be appreciated. I've been wracking my brains trying to think of recipes that have no sauce or gravy Godot, short of grilling chicken pork etc and serving it with spuds/veg there aren't a lot, you could always have a salad (no dressing), pies and sausages. A very basic meal I make with no gravy is corned beef hash, I love it: Boil a pot of potatoes, fry 2 onions until they are soft, open a can of corned beef and dice the meat, when the potatoes are cooked mash them, add the corned beef and mash till well mixed, stir the fried onions through the potatoes and corned beef and serve, Delicious.

Cheers TF, I'm very glad you enjoyed it, a nice cheap and easy meal, you can vary it by adding chutney or tomatoes, anything you like really and the wine always helps Thanks Lady Gren, Corned Beef hash noted, was one of my favourites in the Boy Scouts. Gravy situation is getting quite dire. It's been almost a week. No gravy, of course, meant no roast beef and Yorkshire pud on Sunday, did a goulash instead that turned into a sort of curry, now punishing myself on salads but had a nice rump steak tonight (with salad). Mrs Godot let me do the shopping and it all turned out bad, managed to spend a fortune on lots of things that didn't go with each other, Godettes also complaining. To make matters worse I fed what was left of last week's lamb joint to the dog and he was squirting from both ends during the night. Fortunately Mrs G had cleared everything up by the time I appeared. Mrs G has given up Soduku for lent. Big deal, I say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's easy to make Godot, a dish from my childhood too, no doubt from my dad's wartime childhood as well! I love roast beef, I'm afraid I would have given in to temptation by now if I were you, the thought of six weeks on salad I hate lettuce so that's not a good start. Think I would rather give up alcohol or smoking than give up food, I don't need to do Lent as I was brought up Presbyterian/Episcopal so I can opt and be a Presbyterian during Lent . It doesn't look like you'll be allowed to do the shopping again, perhaps Mrs G. and the Godettes can have seperate meals from you so they don't need to suffer too? I sympathise with the dog Yogi has a habit of eating everything in sight and I left out some lamb& mint sausages last week that he snaffled with the same results.

Sorry to get on your case again Godot, but I think (and Mrs. N agrees) that Goulash counts as gravy. Another 10% all right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
