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

Message 9/43 06-Aug-11 @ 11:38 AM - RE: I made a curry
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*

i love falafels but i dare not eat one again. 4 years ago i had some dental work done. i was told not to eat for a couple of hours but i hadn't eaten all day so on my way home i bought a falafel figuring i'd chew on one side of my mouth. as i was eating it outside i saw blood on the falafel. long story short, next thing i know i'm walking into an emergency room having trouble breathing, with a rash, and feeling like shit. a woman takes my blood pressure, says "don't go anywhere. i'll be right back" and i hear her yelling "i need a cart! we have a 70 over 20". at the same time the world began getting all blurry. epinephrin saved the day. i think an ingredient from the falafel in direct touch with my blood caused an allergic reaction. now i'm afraid of being hyper sensitive to those.

if so, i know the fish sticks i buy are fresh. :P
guffaw!

Message 13/43 07-Aug-11 @ 09:00 AM - RE: I made a curry
We dont have the poncy deli or butchers where I live, I'm in deepest Kent, so the people who drive the range rovers are usually either drug dealers or farmers. Not many poncy pretentious twats twatting around in their Chelsea tractors here. I once asked my butcher where he got his chickens from and he replied "Norfolk"... and I'm like "yeah but fucking Bernard Manning is based in Norfolk, cant you be more specific ?".... "No" LOL still, he does some quality joints, of the meat variety.
Facking ell Sitar, nearly taken out by falafel. That must of been real brown trouser time. My mate had an allergic reaction to Red Bull, his mouth, lips and throat swelled right up to the point where he couldnt breathe. We just pointed and laughed, eventually someone sobered up enough to take him to hospital.
I'm now going to bore you all with some more photos of some dishes I knocked out, because I'm sad like that.

I do love to cook, but I have a limited reportoire, and I'm sure if you put me up against a real chef, I'd fall quite some way behind.
ahem, now normal Jock service will be resumed.....
I'm busting for a shit, I was too busy earlier because I was teabagging the wife.

Message 24/43 08-Aug-11 @ 02:15 PM - RE: I made a curry
hehe. well next step has to be, build a wood oven in t'garden i guess.
i went to me cousins wedding recently near Lucca, and next day we went to the grooms fathers house for pizza, and they had a wood oven built in the basement of the house. The first batch tbh came out undercookec center and overcooked edges - too hot i guess, but once they got it settled down the pizzas were excellent
oh well i'm off up to tottenham ... i need a new flatscreen tv nyuk nyuk|!

Damn, I want pizza now. Proper authentic italian pizza, not that shit american heart attack on a plate pizza hut bollocks.

aye, I love Waitrose, you just know that all their stuff, even the essentials range is going to be sourced responsibly and of a good quality. Im very lucky that the local supermarket is a Waitrose. Its also very quiet compared to other stores, Ive never ever queued at the checkouts ever more than 1 trolley deep, even at Christmas.

wow. yeah i knew a guy that happened to when he didn't know some cookies had ground peanuts and the person who baked them didn't know he had a peanut allergy.
i wasn't nervous at all. it was more interesting than anything else. i knew i had to get myself to an emergency room though. i asked someone where the nearest ER was and as i walked the few blocks i kept saying to myself, not here. not here, meaning i didn't want to drop right there on the sidewalk.

falafel/feltaweful is all i can come up with. i wasn't scared at all. like i told jock it was more interesting than anything else even when the world got blurry. the doctor told me i would have bought the farm if i hadn't gotten epinephrine right then and there. a funny followup to the story was i spent a couple of hours in the ER recovering and on oxygen. they released me and i made it home just in time to do an instance with my World of Warcraft guild that i'd signed up for. priorities.

Finally the hangover disappeared, but only because i began to drink again, ending the evening on 12 year old Glenlivet (i know its not the best but its all i had left).
Sort of worked out quite well all in all.
It also seems we have come full cirlce, started the meal with a Thai soup of prawns simmered in caramel, followed by homemade deep fried Thai fishcakes accompanied by an ajat (cucumber relish .... cucumbers dressed with a sweet and sour syrup combined with julienned ginger, shallots, chilli and corriander leaf). With a Geng panaeng gai for the main (Red curry of chicken with peanuts).
Pleasant evening all in.
PS sorry for the previous rant, it appears i could barely read let alone type. Must remember to use the USB breathalyzer.

I've been busy as hell these past few months, changed jobs about 18 month ago and things have progressed at light speed. Despite current economic climate i appear to have been knocked from pillar to post and back again. Probably been as busy this year as I have been in the past.
Hopefully will get chance to call round here a bit more often this year.
All the best Martyn

i'll check your tune soon, busy finishing a job. i also checked that guys tune 'dirty new electro bendy track', and have some comments but aint had time to add 'em.
this year got kinda hijacked tbh for me. i was in the process of creating a sort of "noobs definitive compression tutorial"; full-on, in depth but 4 noobs, but had to leave off it due to all sorts... been a year of much change methinks. ah well, next year...
what job y doing anyways (after the change)?
