Good Food

[Roy Twing]

Wouldn't normally have steak and gravy, but have other meats with mash and peas and gravy so why not. Never had chips and gravy till moved to Nottm, bewtiful, Mike.

Though if any of you northerners above and Landlord darn sarf, like steak, when in that London going to Flat Iron Steakhouse: https://flatironsteak.co.uk/

Mostly go to the Shoreditch one as near Liverpool St. No booking, if no table free will take your number so can wander off and text you when table free. Bewtiful steaks, though medium rare may not be for some, other special meats cooked over a fire and proper chips cooked in dripping.* Delicious and cheap for that London:



*Love when going back to mamas, she still has an old chip pan and cooks then in lard. Proper, beautiful chips and a couple of fried eggs for her favourite son.

Talking of chips & gravy - anyone tried poutine?

[Basualdo]

Isn't that cheesey chips from Quebec?

[Carlos J]

But with gravy, Bas. No I haven't, Roy, looks a bit hmm, cheese curds and gravy. Have you tried?

[Basualdo]

Fucking frog moosegobblers! First Celine Dion and now this!

First came across cheesy chips in Blackpool. Seems to be popular amongst the young but never tried it. Not my cup of tea.

Never tried poutine. Have you tried it Roy and was it in Canada?

Tried the Hawksmoor version - not bad, the kind of thing you shovel down your throat after a few pints

Yes, - had some at a street vendor In B'Ham in the Summer - surprisingly good.

It’s hard work finding the proper cheese curds to make it but a few specialist cheese shops do it and I finally found it at Neil’s cheese yard in borough market ,“squeaky cheese” I call it as it makes a squeaky sound when you chew it, the proper Quebec gravy is a bit more like chicken gravy but Bisto chicken gravy is good enough on some decent chip shop chips, a delicious dish.

I liked it when I tried it, so I found a recipe for it - the gravy consists of beef stock, flour, garlic, shallot, ketchup, cider vinegar & worcester sauce, - it tasted very much like the one I'd tried.
Couldn't get any cheese curd though so I figured a mild cheddar would do, - it worked better than I expected.

Does sound interesting but still slightly queer.

Not here, Higgins.

Sounds simple enough to make.

Possible to get cheese curd from farm shops?

You could try but I doubt it, I searched google for ages a few years back and just couldn’t find it, much easier now if you really want to try and you really need that specific cheese to get the experience, works out at £7.65 delivered for 500g which is enough for 4 I’d say, worth a go if you’ve never tried it.

They even call it squeaky

Looking at Jamie’s version he says the original real M’coy is a mixture of beef and chicken stock to make the gravy, I was taken to “the best” Poutine diner in Montreal by relatives (they even do it in McDonald’s) and certainly thought it was erring more in the chicken side but I guess it doesn’t matter too much, it’s all about the cheese though.

Thanks for that.

Id rather make dishes absolutely perfect with the actual proper ingredients rather than not make it
