What are you cooking during lockdown?

[Bazzzer]

Vesta used to do packet spag bol - that must have been in the 60s. I think Parmesan cheese was included.

I don't remember that. I used to have lots of Vestas in my bedsit days. The Chow Mein had soft noodles and clispy noodles.

Combining the cooking & music thread, doing a cottage pie with a Sweet Potato / Potato mash topping, turned on the radio first song I hear is Life’s been good by Joe Walsh. Some kind of omen I reckon

Then how do you cook them - shallow or deep fry?

In oil in a chip pan. Years ago I used to use lard but my vegetarian wife won't allow that.

The only chips we tend to have these days are from the local chippy (which is very good). Probably eat 1/2 bags of oven chips a year.

M&S and Lidl both do chunky oven chips that are nice. Probably made by the same company Eweimps has from Tesco. They're all nice.

Gutted when Burton Road Chippy shut... Be glad when it opens again.

Next time we play Toxic Town, Chippy Booth's at Fenay Bridge is worth a visit.

Very nice joint effort tonight....well I prepared the veg and carved the chicken bottle of Pinot Grigio blush (Tesco finest) with

My mum used to shallow fry in a frying pan using dripping. And we use an airfryer!!

Vesta also did Paella and I think three varieties of curry with rice. I'm not sure if you can't still get the curries.

Thanks for reminding me! Paella was my favourite.

Just ordered the ingredients for bratkartoffel today, a favourite way of doing fried potatoes of Mrs N.'s from her time in Germany.

Essentially: dried onion flakes mixed with caraway seeds and marjoram.
