fightoffyour Posted March 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Just made my best ever pizzas, using the @GarethRDR method (now the standard for me). Was supposed to have a few friends round on Friday so I made the dough on Thursday and let it prove in the fridge. They couldn't make it in the end but the pizzas were great and we had spare dough which proved for another 48 hours until this evening by which point it was even better, as was my cooking. Best was inspired by a Subway-style pizza chain here called Pizzatopia where they churn out your own chosen pizzas on a conveyor belt system, but they have some menu options including Na Pole - white garlic sauce base, soft boiled potatoes, bacon, blue cheese. Phenomenal. Only possible improvement would be making a sourdough, but I'd still be looking to do a 48 hour prove.

Xela Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Had a chicken tikka vindaloo at the Marmion in Tamworth yesterday evening. Jeez... it was a few notches hotter than other vindaloos I've had recently. It was lovely. Made my eyes water (kw) but very enjoyable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be one of the roughest pubs in Tamworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled the street and the first thing that came up was a machete attack there last year! (on the road, not in the venue!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 For lunch today, I had a sandwich made from fresh sourdough bread, sliced free-range venison, topped with creamy bernaise sauce and pickled red onion. It’s honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearnaise is criminally underrated My old work place pre covid had a canteen that did schnitzel every thursday, sauce on rotation, jager, ziguener, onion and then Bearnaise and it's the best one Never hawaii though which is schnitzel with bacon and pineapple in a cheese sauce, mother in law cooked it for me Sunday, beautiful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it’s because it became sort of a culinary cliché and the market is flooded with terrible ready-made variants, but a decent bearnaise is absolutely lovely.

Surprisingly up until around 3 months ago my in laws didn't know what it was, they only bought it as a pre made pack because they know I like it so much, its not that common on schnitzel here but my favourite local restaurant does a cracking pork medallion dish in it Hollandaise steals it's thunder a bit, not sure it's even a case of people disliking the tarragon which is usually strong, I'd guess most people don't even know what tarragon is, I wish I knew more ways to use it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted April 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2023 Turkish courtesy of Turk Nazz in Sutton Coldfield. Absolutely fantastic.
