Ermmm What is Mac and Cheese. Well I know what cheese is...
I am deeply honoured and mightily happy, dear Aden.Originally Posted by the Black Prince
On style: Traditional English cooking can be delicious-despite what all naysayers think, provided you have the right materials. In the Tesco world this seems impossible, since you'll have to spend lots of efforts and upwards of 30 GBP per person to get proper shellfish, or edible meat or saussages. Therefore opting for style it's a necessity that I learned to love in my 6 years back home in Blighty.
Even a mediocre dish can be saved and raised to unexpected heights, with the right serving but mostly by putting your guests in the right mood. I promise you the next time I visit the UK we will have a one meal stand in your kitchen.
You will have to control any bedroom-cooking tendencies though...
I strongly support you try Just's recipe:It's exactly what I mean. Cheap materials, lots of flair, good disguise:perfect!
@imb39. One people divided by the same language?
P.S.Give your recipe to the masses.Now!
My Lord Rahl
I promise in the next 12h I will come up with a Mac and cheese recipe, that no french will be able to scourge or lament about.
Garb.
Hm, I think I'll try this soon. Wednesday really, so Ill tell you the results on Wednesday evening. Thank you for making my life easier but my cooking harder.Originally Posted by imb39

Good luck, not that you'll need it...
As I promised to my Lord Rahl...
Tha GARBURGER
1.Sauce (instead of A1's BBQ or ketchup)
Carton (can?) of pured tomatoes
tbs sugar
mushroom stock cube
2 tbs wine vinegar
tbs Worchester sauce
Mix, bring to boil and let simmer until it reaches the desired consistency.
When it cools down feel free to add youghourt (instead of mayo) to your taste, and mustard. (pickled gherkins chopped in thin slices may come handy too).
2.Burger (serves 6)
1lb minced beef+1lb minced lamb
egg yolk
1 teacup of ale (beer-lagger-guiness even better)
2 tbs oat flakes or breadcrumbs.
fresh basil and
fresh rosemary leaves
salt and pepper to taste
3.Buns
1 1/8 cups water
2 tablespoons butter
3 1/4 cups bread flour
3 teaspoons gluten (optional)
3 tablespoons dry milk powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons dry active yeast
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. Add yeast to the water heated to about 110şF. Allow to activate. Add foamy yeast solution to other ingredients and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, adjust water or flour to suit. Punch down and let rise covered for 20 minutes Divide dough into 8 equal sections, make each section into a ball and place on lightly greased large baking sheet. Flatten each with palm of hand. Cover with cloth and let rise in warm place until doubled (about 1 to 1-1/2 hours). Bake in preheated 375şF oven for 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from baking sheet and let cool on cake rack. Makes 8.
4.Cheese
While cheddar seems the obvious solution, I would like to reccomend a Californian cheese:Monterey Jack.(not the marbled variety);it melts more evenly than cheddar and has a delicate, buttery flavor.
5.Finally
Mix the rosemary ale, oat egg yolk and basil into the hamburger meat, distributing evenly. Add salt and fresh ground pepper. Form out the hamburger patties. If the meat is low-fat, you may want to add some grapeseed oil or olive oil to the mixture, or after the patties are made (but before cooked), rub some oil over them.Refrigerate for 1h. Place on a hot grill or grill pan. If you are indoors with a grill pan, be sure to use your stove fan. If on grill pan, lower the heat to medium high. Grill on one side until you can see the juice begin to run at the surface. Flip over and grill on the other side, again until you can see some juice coming through.Place the cheese on top of the burgers until melted. If you wish (you do), grill the buns on remaining grill surface. Onions can be either served fresh with the hamburger or sautéed a little in olive oil.
Serve burgers with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and the Sauce.

And I am actually drolling (I am at work and I can't cook right now...)
I'm European too, but it was a matter of style, and also repect to Rahl...

My stomach and I are pleased to report that Adana kebab was a glorious success. Hooray! The spiciness collides with the cool flavours of the tzatziki to produce a most stimulating education for my palate. Instead of onions and parsley, I served it with a mix of peas, sweetcorn, peppers, carrots and onion all fried briefly together in soy sauce, and it worked rather nicely.
I wonder what delicacy from the cookbook I should conjure up next weekend?

I can't really cook to save my life (in fact I can, but I really don't have the time) but I have done a bit of beverage mixing in my life. I did not do it aer recipes but rather freelancing and seeing what goes with what. My friends like what I make them drink. So, would Garb let me have the honour to supllement with a few drinks receipes his delicious meals?

@Nihil:good job! we should use the ingredients at our disposal, as often as possible. There are no certainities in cooking as opposed to politics...
Give me 24h and I'll come up with a guiness rarity. Are you in Dublin?
OK! Nice and simple for starters...
A Beer Cannon
Any blond beer will do, better to have a strong one (250 ml)
A sort of Coke related beverage (Coca Cola is best)
A little sugar and maybe a bit of lemon (higly optional)
You take a high class, put the beer in, then add the Coke to fill it up. Get a bit of sugar on the sides of the glass and maybe a few drops of lemon juice in it. After the first few sips one should add more Coke to the mix, which will slowly become a long drink.
Care should be exercized when drinking it, as it has been known to put people under the table quite fast.
I sure am. I am no great friend of guinness (sacrilege, I know), but I'll try anything once.Originally Posted by Garbarsardar

Believe it or not, I hate beer. The only pint I had in 6 years in the UK was...not in the UK but in Dublin. I had to try Guiness, and I have to say it was not bad.
But now when it comes to cooking with Guiness, well it can be surprisingly errr...surprising.
OTOH I'm going to try MoromeTe's idea immediately, since it streches credibility to the point of being interesting...
