Beef jalfrezi tonight (the traditional kind made out of yesterdays left over roast beef, mashed potato, chillies, a good dash ground cumin, coriander and mustard seeds all topped of with a fried egg).

Home made turkey burgers tonight, having got 500g of fresh turkey mince for £1.25 on the yellow label!

They turned out to be quite tasty, but I'd be tempted to spice them up with a pinch of curry powder next time.

Speaking of curry... Had Pad Prik King tonight, homemade. Beef, green beans, bamboo shoots and red curry, soy sauce and chili mixed together over rice. Totally delicious, though next time I need higher quality beef. It wasn't as tender as I'd like...

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

My girl made breakfast egg rolls. Slice of american cheese, scrambled eggs, potato, and bacon. I'd have used the shredded cheddar instead of the american, but she was apparently amused by putting the squares of cheese onto the square of egg roll .... lining? shell? exoskeleton?

last night I had left over corned beef, cinnamon raisin toast as a stand in for my soda bread, and I mashed up the left over potatoes, carrots, and sliced the cabbage. added some bread crumbs for filler and a little cheese... does that make me British?

Made a little chicken stir-fry last night, and I'll probably have the left-over for tonight also. Probably going to one of the local bars for 25 cent tacos on Wednesday

My wife and I stopped by the hotel that we're using for our out of town guests for the reception after our second wedding (on our first anniversary - immigration and personal circumstances) and had dinner there.
She got some very nice fish & chips (and brought half it home), while I had a New York steak with a baked potato. Both washed ours down with an Amaretto sour

It was quite tasty, now if only I could find proper black pudding, it was the one thing missing from an English breakfast...

Would Scrapple count as a substitute?

I reckon you're near enough

Black pudding is made with blood - scrapple seems to be more like white pudding - but both are definitely tasty.

Scrapple has a weird texture, but I blame that on the cornmeal in it. Also it's hard to find here in North East Ohio, but if you get to more of the Pennsylvania Dutch, or the Amish around Ohio, you'll probably find scrapple...

I gotta figure out dinner tonight, any suggestions? Generally quick and easy...

Ramen might be it depends on what is in the freezer, and what's planned for future meals. It's the rare occasion that my family is not all at the dinner table, so while I know how to cook, I like to plan things out. My mom sent me a text this morning saying I'm on my own lol

I might make pasta... I wonder if we've got chicken sausage left...

Hmmm, I keep seeing you guys mentioning black pudding, and I really want to try it. Hard to find in the States, however.

Edit - Closest thing I've seen is blutwurst in German part of St. Louis, but I didn't get to try any.

This thread inspired me to make Toad in the Hole the other night; it was the first time I've ever tried making a English dish of any kind.

It tasted OK, but my sausages floated up to the top and kind of sat atop it, instead of being properly embedded within. Not sure what I did wrong, I preheated the greased pan prior to adding the sausages and then the batter. It tastes fine but it didn't look as it should have.

The snags don't HAVE to be embedded in the Yorkshire pudding. Having them floating on top is perfectly reasonable.

The real trick to making TITH however is use dripping as oppsed to greese or oil. The dripping has to be hot too. Not just hot, but HOT. Like really HOT. Flesh meltingly HOT.

That's not what it says on the first page of my passport, Bruce. It says 'Her Britannic Majesty Requests that the Sausage Be Encased Within the Pudding, without Fear or Favour'.

I greased the pan (with canola oil) and then placed it into a cold oven and once it hit 425 F, added the sausages and then poured the batter atop it. So maybe it's just bad luck. and not technique? Or is there something else?

By drippings, does the grease from browning the sausages count, btw?

Sincerest apologies mi'lord. I must be eating the bastadised Australian convict version of Toad in the hole. I'll cease these heretical practices at once.

Unfortunately the sausage greese ain't gonna cut it, this is an accept no substitute kind of reicpe. You may also greatly benefit from pre-heating your oven as well.

Anyway this is Dripping. Or "Mucky fat" at the Yorks (Yorkies? Yorkshiremen?) call it.

I think the outcome of this thread, is that we need to start a charitable organisation to enlighten our poor american friends on the wonders of black pudding.

We'll need a boat and several hundred tonnes of good-quality scab-sausage (as I affectionately call it in front of my vegetarian, quite squeamish, fiancee)
