J9withdogs Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'm tucking into a huge plate of colcannon, liberally laced with butter, and smokey bacon. The ultimate comfort food! What food keeps you warm in this cold weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think back many years and what, I wonder was the first person who ever eat broccoli thinking at the time - he/she must have been very hungry!

LordThornber Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 JudgeMental - 2009-01-06 5:19 PM I made a beef casserole with red wine last night....... Me too Judge but with chicken, fab, and for tonight a minced turkey, (poultry again!!), curry. Boy it tasted good on its last lap of cooking, it's just thrutching now for an hour or so on our Welsh quarry tiled floor. I swear it makes it taste better.

davenewellhome Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Broccoli is gorgeous, especially the purple sprouting variety! Warming foods, hmmmm, today we had a home made leek and potato soup for lunch, absolutely fabulous. Yesterday lunch was home made pepper and bean soup, lovely and thick and chunky and hot and filling ;-) . D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapido-lass Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 J9withdogs - 2009-01-07 10:36 AM Rapido-lass - 2009-01-07 8:20 AM This has got to be stew and dumpling weather. My other favourite is beef batter pud which my gran use to cook and I love. What's beef batter pud? Have you got the recipe? I've no real recipe as it's just been handed down but here goes.... Slowly stew beef until very tender, drain off most juices and save as gravy for serving. Mix together suet, flour and add a beaten egg and milk until the mix is slightly runny not stiff (like dumplings). Pour suet mix over drained beef, it'll run between the meat and pop back into oven until risen and crispy brown on top (I don't adjust the low heat from cooking the beef). I hope this is ok, as I said it is passed down so I learnt by watching it being made. I never measure any of the ingredients. You could add other ingredients I guess if you wished, but it's simplicity is so tasty. Hope you enjoy as much as I do!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightrider Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Apart from stews and dumplings etc, this surely has got to be the weather for roly poly jam pudding and steaming custard. Any more suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J9withdogs Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 You shouldn't drink water after eating hot chilli or curry. Have a spoonful of sugar and work it round your mouth to put out the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
