Lenny's Heading for Germany

[Lenny HB]

Stew is cooked in a saucepan and a casserole is cooked in an oven!

Beat me too it and a stew is always served with dumplings.

What! stew without dumplings is inedible.
I do make one concession vegetable suet get more reliable results.

How about thin sliced buttered potatoes and cheese ?

I nearly swallowed my tongue when he told me €18 per night

Lost all street cred on this trip he has

Obviously Lenny's still coming down off the drugs I'm sure normal service will be resumed soon

Where I did my flying training there was also an engineering school incorporated with a lot of Asian students.

The kitchen tried to keep everyone happy, so used to serve dishes like 'Curried Lancashire Hot Pot' which was swimming in grease.

That was Yuck!

Well there's a lot to learn from Lenny's medical emergency! The other half is in panic mode in case something similar happened to us! I am looking forward to teaching her how to empty the cassette, fill the water, empty the grey. fill up with LPG, deal with EHU, how to operate the Thule hot water and heating and CBE control panel and in turn she wants me to list all the names of phone numbers of whom she can ask for help to get the van home if necessary!

I am not holding out much hope as she has a mental block about these man tasks. She hates driving my Audi A4 and can't remember how to start it or stop it and not a lot in between apart from steering every time she gets behind the wheel! She is very competent in her Mini however!

Up here in East Yorkshire we call it a stew rather than give it a fancy mamby-pamby name!

and we call it " Cawl"!

Up here we call it lookshery! You guys only leave us with the bits you don't want.

Stew is cooked in a saucepan and a casserole is cooked in an oven!

A casserole is a cooking receptacle or if used to describe a type of cooked dish a 'casserole of .......', which would be cooked in an oven.

Beat me too it and a stew is always served with dumplings.

Wow, it's now a culinary thread

 

[Robert Clark]

Yuck.

How about a flakey pastry crust on top like you get in a pub?

 

[Abacist]

When I had my gall bladder trouble I had been to the Doc for something else and got the pills. The next day felt awful and went back thinking that the pills disagreed with me. He just looked up as I entered the room and said you need to go to hospital! No examination or anything - one look was enough! I had a stone stuck in my bile duct somewhere and was in agony by the time I got to hospital. A couple of good doses of Morphine later I was able to watch somewhat bemused as a houseman tried to get a canular into me It was like he was digging the garden with the needle and kept hitting bone in the back of my hand! I had an endoscopy to get rid of the blockage and some weeks later had the gall bladder out. The surgeon said he was going to do keyhole but the lying toad told me afterwards, after failing to do keyhole, that he knew he wouldn't be able to do keyhole as I'm a fatty! He gave he a container full of gall stones which were a complex geodesic ball shape about the size of slightly small maltesers. No doubting the the pain they caused! I can eat anything now without heartburn etc but the wife had the same op some years later and still gets heartburn!

Then its a pie!

My favourite is snake and pygmy pudding - done in the pressure cooker - we have it about once a year as its a calorific overload!

Now you’re talking. Babies head and mushy peas.

Just to continue the regional division rivalry Liverpool scouse is very like Irish stew. The only difference I can see is Irish stew is made with lamb but it seems scouse can be made with lamb or beef? Given the connection between Ireland and Liverpool I thought this must have been where it came from but apparently it comes from lobscouse which was a dish popular with sailors and was eaten around the Baltic.

Correct. My mum made it with minced beef but I make it with stewing steak.

Our family used to have a penchant for Welsh stew which was cooked in a huge saucepan with breast and neck of lamb cheap cuts and every root vegetable you could get your hands on - lovely but haven't had it for years as the wife hates lamb!

 

[Abacist]

PS - I will desist when Lenny has recuperated!

Mine were about that size but triangular looked like mini mountains.

What is it with heathen northerners, curry sauce or gravy on chips and mushy peas, yuck, yuck & yuck.

And a proper curry is made with mutton.

Proper curry is made with goat. And you think we’re heathens.
