    Bbq pork and rice with lashings of chilli from Wong Kei in China town. 
    Used to be in there a lot. Love the place. Especially being treated like shit and told to sit down with other people. Top stuff. Food was good as well. 

    My favorite was two blokes ordered the same meal, one turned up much smaller than the other, he complained and the waiter picked up the plate and told him, you fcuk off, you no eat here again 🤣
    My brother and a mate had coffee after their meal in Won Kei’s and when they asked for another two cups the waiter said to them “No, no! You fcuk off now we need table!”.
    Loved eating there!

    Liver. The wife or daughters won’t touch it and I very rarely cook. 

    Kippers or mackerel. I’m not allowed it as it stinks the house out. I love kippers for breakfast. 

    Chicken Chassuer. I love it. No one else does. 

    Cheese and potato pie. My favourite dinner in the world. Death row meal. I get it about twice a year and it still ain’t as good as my dad’s. 

    I could go on. A house full of yo yo dieting women. Who seem to think that eating spaghetti fucking bolognese twice a week is ok. That or bastard chicken fajitas. 

    I feel better now. Thanks. 
    Oh my God. My dear old Mum 98 today used to make those for me 30/40 years ago. I'd forgotten all about them, absolutely delicious !
    it was a staple in my house in the 70s. How my dad got the cheese that stringy or the top burnt just enough I’ll never know. My daughters made me it on Fathers Day. I love it. With streaky bacon and grilled tomatoes. 

    Happy birthday to your mum. Enjoy every minute with her. 
    Thanks mate, I go & see her every day  :) Sadly she's not so good but she's a tough old lady.

    Yes we had it in the 70s (must have been a thing) I often had it with a fried egg on top. After I left home she used to make me individual tin foil packages to take home & stick in the oven. Blimey I'm going to have to have a go myself now  :D

    My mum, passed away over 20 years ago, would call me and say she'd made a bread pudding for me. Straight round to pick it up, size of a house brick but gone in a couple of days.
    My mum makes bread pudding - like a lump of concrete in your gut for the first hours or so after eating
    Has she substituted the bread for cement?

    Used to love a Spanish favourite Chorichos en Manteca, spicy salami sausage islands surrounded by congealed paprika butter. Used to be brought over from Spain by my aunt in bright yellow and red cans. Tried some a while back, could barely keep it down- which is just as well with the cholesterol count.

    Other Spanish favourites Churros y Chocolate and Boquerones (fresh fried Anchovies).

    Tips

    On cooking the best steak (haven't had one for a while to be fair)

    KISS - "keep it simple, stupid"

    Medium rare is probably the best option. Rare is too chewy.

    Only season with salt & pepper. Tomato ketchup is the safest sauce.

    Highest heat on the hob

    Keep turning it...maybe put additional olive oil or butter on the surface of it.

    Hear the sizzling sound. Roughly 8 minutes later....let it cool down for 5 minutes....and then ready to eat.

    This is ground breaking stuff dave. I know it is dave. I should be a chef

    Rissoles and Tapioca and Jam Rolly Polly ( not together ) . Haven’t had them since primary school dinners but used to love all three .

    Decent cheese. Can buy Crackerbarrel but at an insane price.

    Does the Happy Bottom Riding Club still meet Thursday night at Nell’s ?
