Marmalade with a crumbly cheese like a Wensleydale or a white stilton. You will thank me. Cheddar cheese with Christmas cake - off topic I know, but you will also thank me.

Was originally called Gartons, based on a tamarind sauce he had when posted in India and called HP as they used to serve it in the cafeteria in, as you said, the Houses of Parliament. All the MPs used to call it Snotrag as it is Gartons backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barons is the best hot pepper sauce for me - the West Indian hot sauce. The red one they do is a bit peppery for me (flavour not heat). But this one is the puppies privates.

BaaLocks Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 And every cupboard should have some of this. Yes, giggle at the name but treat it with respect - it bites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheddar cheese with Christmas cake - off topic I know, but you will also thank me. I can see how the first one works but not too sure about the Christmas cake one. However, I'll bow to your superior knowledge on that one as Christmas cake is difficult to get at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I made beefburgers tonight, so I copped out and had Tesco horseradish sauce. Not bad really, if a little mild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abertawe_ram Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 10 hours ago, Eddie said: My absolute favourite sauce (home made) is Zigeuner Sauce. We have this whenever we have Schnitzels (pork or chicken) but basically it works with just about anything... Zigeuner Sauce a la Eddie Ingredients · 1 or 2 small onion, sliced and slivered · 1 small carrot, Julienne · Half a red pepper, thinly sliced · 2 mushrooms, sliced · 1 teaspoon paprika, sweet · Pinch of hot cayenne or red chilli powder to taste · 1 dessert spoon flour · 75 ml red wine · 1 tablespoon tomato puree · 150 ml chicken stock · Salt and pepper to taste · 20 g butter or sunflower oil Method · Fry onions in butter or oil until starting to brown · Add mushrooms, fry for a further 2 minutes · Add pepper and carrot, fry for a further 2 minutes · Remove from heat temporarily · Add spices, tomato puree and flour · Add red wine · Stir until flour dispersed then replace on heat and bring to boil · Add chicken stock · Add salt and pepper to taste · Simmer until thickened · Serve immediately (or cool, then microwave or re-heat) Prima! I haven't thought about Schnitzel mit Zigeunersoße for a long time. Good memories of living in Germany ? Bookmarked and I'll definitely be giving it a go at some point. I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Has anyone read this book called Salt: (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Salt-World-History-Mark-Kurlansky/dp/0099281996) A fascinating book anyway, but also a fair bit on the origins of famous sauces too like Soy and Tabasco.

ariotofmyown Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 My taste is fairly weak (opposite of a super taster) and I used to overdo sauces. Cut down a lot recently to try and appreciate the food more. I think that sauces are often used to cover up average food. I've also cut back on meat, but if I have a bacon sandwich, I try to buy a decent bit rather than the cheapest. The ones I still have a lot of though as mustard (English and Djion), Tabasco and now Srichia (fairly recent discovery). The thing I miss most about less meat is lack of mustard opportunities! Falafel and Hummous is amongst my favourite foods, and Tabasco on that is wonderful. Srichia on noodles/rice dishes is sublime too. I've had Amba a few times too and is gorgeous. Think I'll have to make some as not seen it in the shops. https://whatjewwannaeat.com/quick-amba-sauce-recipe/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out I got the recipe from my best mate Rudolf (Ron) Klein (half German, half Dutch) many years ago. It's just the best sauce I've ever tasted.

Eddie Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Got a few chili plants growing now (most are still seedlings, but some have been potted on). Some under LED grow lamps, some still in a propagator. African Bird Eye Scotch Bonnet Armageddon and a couple of other milder varieties (e.g. Jalapeno). All indoors at the moment - the number of frosts we have had in April is just unreal, so I daren't move them outside yet. Going to try to germinate some Naga seeds over the next couple of weeks. These ones (Naga) are strictly house plants and will never be moved outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
