I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

I love hot currys. I love eating them and making them. I'm going through a thai influenced phase at the moment.
This is something I knocked up recently

I love the whole process of making a dish, especially the shopping for ingredients. I find it very satisfying to go to a butchers or a fishmongers and chatting to them, talking about what I'm gonna cook and listening to their advice, and respecting the meat or fish, knowing where it comes from, appreciating its quality and how best to treat it to make sure I give it the best send off possible. Same with all ingredients.
I get so f*cking sad and frustrated at the fat c*nts in the cheapo supermarkets like Tescos who live on a constant diet of crap and nasty convenience foods. Or like my parents will buy a chicken from Tesco because it only cost 4p, and I'm like "but what about the taste, the quality, how it was farmed ? doesnt that matter to you ? do all you care about is the fucking price ?" it really annoys me.
I dont completely boycott supermarkets, I do about 70% of my shopping in my local Waitrose, but for meat, veg and fish I try and get that from the local shops to support them as much as I can. We've already lost our local fishmonger, which is gutting because he was brilliant, the fish at the supermarket is nowhere near as good.
Anyway, as for the Kaffir Lime Leaves, I use these, which are the next best thing I suppose...

nah that finished curry looks bloody awesome!! Just haven't seen much of this 'domesticated kitchen Jock' before, lol ;)
Btw waitrose meat is damned good for a supermarket tho. i buy waitrose organic meat IF i eat meat (which is rarely). Their organic meatballs are super value and quality. Knock those up in a tomatoe sauce, chuck in a 1/2k packet of petit pois and serve with pasta! yummy! their free-range organic sausages rule too
also waitrose own brand veggie moussaka is excellent too for a packet food. Mind you, there's no local butchers, greengrocers etc in chelsea unless u wanna pay 25 quid for a slice of bacon from some posh butchers in chelsea village. But i dont think you are allowed to purchase from them unless you arrive in a Range-Rover Vogue or Disco 3 with an asian nanny in tow... so waitrose it is.
i been so busy recently desperately trying to finish this next round of logic tutorial videos that i'm livin on falafel wraps lately. There's a load of arabic shops round the corner so i get the flat bread, falafel, yogurt, corriander leaves and some cucumber etc and make veggie wraps, tasty!! for a side dish i get humous and pour tahini into it & mix it all together for that extra seseme hit ;)
i swear tho, when this videos is done i'm gonna have a bloody great 16oz fillet steak!
ooh i tell you what i had the other day - fresh grilled mackerel. I'd forgotten how good a simple grilled mackerel tastes, bloody delicious AND cheap as chips!
so i'm in the supermarket and i say to the fish assistant "Mate, grab that mackerel there and hold it upright by the tail", and he's like "what"? It took me like a minute & a half to explain & get him to do it.
That's how you tell how fresh a mackerel is - hold the bugger by the tail-end so it's head points upwards vertically - the more it droops over the less fresh it is. it should be stiff & firm (oo-er missus!) tip! ...yes i used to work on a fish counter as a saturday job when i was a kiddie *sigh*
