Rare frantic36 Posted June 26, 2014 #1226 Share Posted June 26, 2014 You all make me smile :) specialcruisegirl and Mr L I must admit I was a bit worried about poppy seeds with a chip bitty but I think I could see how it would work with a bacon & chip butty. I will have to have a mirror on hand though. Hmmm fish finger butty, I had forgotten about those!! Darn, I don't think I will be off the treadmill for the next five weeks before I leave. Ravenscroft I like the breadcrumbs it seems to add an extra nutty tasting element. Or maybe that is just the butter I cook it in :). Mr L believe me when I tell you I am messy!! Even Keith hides :D. We just had Hungarian Goulash with steamed vegetables served with a lovely Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon for dinner. Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialcruisegirl Posted June 26, 2014 #1227 Share Posted June 26, 2014 That toasted bread dooh dah sounds spot on. Red onion though. I make the odd croque which is lovely. Blitz up and egg with some grated Red Leicester, small dollop of Dijon and a couple of drops of Worcester and some cooked diced bacon thrown in and spoon onto toast and grill, perhaps with some thinly red onion on top . It soufles and browns lovely. Getting quite hungry now. .....:) Great supper ideas Jeff.....I'll try that, sounds like a take on welsh rarebit. Another dish l like is what l call a prawn ramekin....basic cheese sauce, add cooked prawns and hard boiled chopped eggs, mix together, season and place in a ramekin.. top with grated cheese and grill until bubbling. They can be prepped in advance. Now I'm hungry:rolleyes: S :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKCruiseJeff Posted June 26, 2014 Author #1229 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I know you haven't asked ... but I'm saying anyway. Just basted the chimichurri for a final 10 minutes and we're having them with chips and sauce but no peas. And Pecheur. Obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenscroft Posted June 26, 2014 #1230 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Your lunch sounds good! We arrived back at 4am this morning ..... I suggest very thin bacon because you have to chew it. Back rather than crispy streaky. They must be whole haddock pieces in crunchy batter! http://www.waitrose.com/shop/ProductView-10317-10001-33348-Waitrose+6+batt+chunky+haddockfingers.html?storeId=10317 Added to my weekend Ocado order :D I'm supposed to be on a diet....:rolleyes: Noted about the bacon.

Ravenscroft Posted June 26, 2014 #1231 Share Posted June 26, 2014 [quote name=specialcruisegirl;43206636 One of my favourite butty's is what the crew galley chef used to produce when l was at sea. Toasted bread with bacon' date=' raw onion and cheese, not grated but placed on top in slices, then blast under the grill...no sauce! [/quote] That's it! My diet is ruined! That sounds absolutely delicious. I shall be trying this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tothesunset Posted June 26, 2014 #1236 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) The basic ingredients for an authentic chip butty: 1. Large cut, deep-fried, soggy chips fried in beef dripping (left to cool and very slightly congeal). 2. White sliced bread smeared with margarine (or butter in upper middle-class households - that is, those with indoor plumbing). Place 1. above onto one half of a slice of 2. and fold the bread over and squash with palm of hand. This next stage is optional but failure to complete will reduce credibility: 3. Reopen bread and apply tomato ketchup liberally to chips' surface (HP sauce may be substituted for, or even applied alongside, the ketchup). Fold over and compress until sauce oozes freely from the margins of the butty. Mayo has no place in a chip butty and is actually an arrestable offence in most of Northern Engand Note: It is considered bad form to nibble at this confection; masters of the chip butty will consume in 4 or fewer bites their performance judged by the quantity of ketchup caught by the shirt front. The approved method of cleaning the hands after eating is to vigourously rub them down the front of the trousers. Washing is considered a little pretentious. It is rare, even in Huddersfield, for chip butties to be offered on formal occasions but their use is expected, sometimes even required, if one wishes not to offend the natives in informal settings (weddings, 100th birthday parties - that sort of thing).

Rare frantic36 Posted June 26, 2014 #1237 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ravenscroft I know what you mean reading this thread while trying to diet is torture!!! The weather is looking pretty good for early August so I plan to do lots of walking rather then catching the tube when I can. That may help keep balance the great food & wine...I hope. Tothesunset this sounds perfect! If I can't find a good chip butty in London when I get home I will use these instructions to construct one.......even to the sauce on the shirtfront.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact they can't even say ''butty'' which comes out more as ''battay''.

Don't worry I make my own breadcrumbs, much nicer that way. I have to admit for all my desire to try a chip butty in London I eat my fish grilled and with various yummy salads the majority of the time. Like England we have some wonderful seafood from our coast.......expensive but beautiful.
