Food Hacks / Pimps

[foxy]

My third batch of black pudding loaves, I have tweaked the second and this batch and I am just about home and hosed I reckon another couple of pinches of salt will do it. I read nutmeg is a substitute for mace, but it isn't I now have extra mace in the recipe and pepper. The firmness of the black pudding is a lot better, I can carve it as thick or thin as I like and it stays firm.

Where do you get Holy Basil from, or do you grow your own?

Sainsbury's sell it. Tesco do have it in over the summer as well. Also, my local oriental supermarket gets it in. It's not the easiest thing to find.

The single best piece of equipment you can buy to make better food at home is an immersion circulator.

I do that in the AIO

Best piece of equipment I good knifes. Oops its this another thread....

Also worth a read :-)

When you have to eat food on an airplane, take the pat of butter they give you with the “bread roll” and dissolve it into the food… it does help

You literally just stole what I was thinking the whole time I read page 1.

Add butter.

Food hacked

Almost all food tastes better with a big blob of lighty salted butter in the mix

I know you prefer the cheap blunt ikea type knives cos they are safer?

Pineapple with ginger and garlic

Pineapple roasted whole on the BBQ, served with rum - absolutely amazing

 

[Sadfield]

Pineapple on pizza is a great hack for when you haven't got any pepperoni, tastebuds or respect. Capisce!

take the skin off the pineapple, roll in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar and then barbecue it. Delicious

Never knock anything until you have tried it

All vegetables ferment. At least all the ones I've tried so far have. The surprise winner at the moment is sliced leek, lovely. Current batch is Okra/ladies fingers. Gone off like a train, it looks like I've made it with lemonade.

I might grow some okra. Had a bit of success in the past with it.
Very nice cooked Indian style.
