Bone Marrow salad people.. you will be trying it

As long as there is in fact no salad despoiling the marrow.

there's a little, but it's got good stuff in it and it really works



mmmmm

Edit DDD you might want to check out the website... I don't think you're ready

Are you supposed to stick the bones in yer mouth & suck out the contents?

S'pose it could make for an entertaining first date venue.

Any vegetarian food made to look like meat.

If vegetables are so amazing stop trying to make them look like bacon or sausages or anything else decent and right!

I think that might be what that very long, thin knife is for...

All manifestations of green crunchy water

Picallilli - looks and smells like satans nasal clearings, tastes foul as well.

I have eaten that bone marrow and calves brains. All as kid. I think they tasted great to be honest but I wasn't so aware of what they were - I probably have more prejudices now that I know what they are.

yeah that site has some horrific/interesting ideas Penfold

lost_in_thought

Looking at that site I'm thinking everything on it should be in room 101.

What is wrong with people? I blame america. What the hell is a corndog anyway?

EDIT: AND ANOTHER THING... bacon with sweet stuff? For god's sake...

What's the point of courgettes?

Tuna. It should stay in the sea.

Ditto anchovies.

I've just seen the menu, amazing a restaurant with exactly nothing that I would or even could eat.

One group I'm glad to leave to its exclusivity.

Come on DDD, broaden those horizons.

+1. Meat TFU! Lots of stuff I wouldn't eat on there (eels, tripe....eeech), but plenty I would....lamb, skate....and 'exactly nothing I would eat'? Not even apple crumble or bread & butter pudding (I'd have anything off the dessert menu!)?

Oh, COME ON!

Buffalo Chicken Cheese Fries looked to die for, Dahling. And Poutine is a genuine gift from God (even if He is a figment of the collective imagination of the psychologically inadequate).

And until you've had pancakes with streaky bacon and maple syrup, you ain't lived, baby.

Whoops. Did I just say the bacon and maple syrup thing out loud?

I'll get me coat.

Tuna? Have you gone a bit mental in the head?

Tuna sashimi ... ummmmm ... if I had a choice between that and donuts, I'd be in trouble.

I'll give you anchovies though. They're rank.

You are legally allowed to commit herbicide on any member of the marrow family found outside of a field. Something to do with justifaible self-defence.

Subway - one of the worst abominations ever invented. Pre formed and shaped meat things, meatballs with whatever in them, pre prepared salad and sauces. And they have the cheek to advertise it as eat Fresh!!

Are you deliberately trying to piss me off?

1. Offering an alternative to doughnuts (note the fecking spelling)
2. Suggesting that the alternative is sashimi (note the correct use of "foreign food" identifier - I bet you say Barttttthhhhhelona instead of Bar-cell-on-er for Barcelona)

Now I'm ghey enough to enjoy sushi but in a knowing 21st century plural way - but I wouldn't put it above deep fried confection.

You are in trouble.

+1 In fact I made that for brekkie on Saturday. Fricking delicious. When i was in Canada I'd pop a large American pancake on my plate, top it with a full English (beans no sausage) garnish it with a liberal amount of maple syrup and then pop another pancake on top. Now that was a breakfast. Had that every day for 3 months, but when your skiing in those temps you need all the calories you can get.

Mmmmmm

Any food shop that advertises its wares with a backlit price board, above the counter, with photos of the food on it without exception sells nothing but crap. This law is inviolate.

I ate some fairly fresh Tuna this autumn! We sliced it up and made sushi five mins after this pic was taken.

Unless drunk.

Then mechanically recovered and shaped bone strippings are Godly

Whoever said Kebabs are 101 has allowed themselves to sober up and needs to get back on the sauce or they'll get left behind when the hugging / fighting starts

Risotto. Especially Blueberry Rissotto.

What is the point in sticky rice? was this a proper rice dish that just went a wee bit wrong and someone decided to call it Rissotto?

And Blueberries - why in the name of all that is right, would you want to put a perfectly good desert fruit into rissotto?

Please, can we uninvent Rissotto?

Not only does someone hate you for putting blueberries in, as suggested by Greg T - but they really hate you for making it sticky. A good risotto is creamy with very slightly al dente rice - a really simple dish, but beautiful when done well - needs the right rice to release the starch that makes it creamy. having said that, I was at the good food show once, watching antonio carlucci make risotto, and he added about a kilo of butter at the end. i can feel my arteries furring up just thinking about it.....

Mind you, the entire population of thailand probably has no problem with sticky rice......

Fresh Tuna is delicious. Tinned tuna is an abomination.

Very big +1
Mushrooms are a fungus
So is Athlete's foot.

That said I am quite happy eating them in stew casserole or even (say it quietly) risotto.
