HIT BY SPIKES Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Most British Cuisine (like Scottish Cuisine) is based on a dare. Nonetheless, we must defend our isle..no matter what the cause may be. I am a ManCity Fan so I have made traditional British Breakfasts in the past for my Citizenship. The internet recipes all yield results that my 3 hungry dogs will not eat. So I have brought my Northern Italian heritage to play and upgraded the recipe and end product. That Brown "Gravy" you see smothered over the food abortion in an unsuccessful attempt to hide/bury/make edible the s.....tuff under it is a basic Onion Gravy. What I do is caramelize sweet onions very very slowly for a couple of hours and use that in the recipe. Also double the amount of red wine the recipe calls for. Finally, use your own chicken stock rather than what comes out of a store bought can or carton. Yes, I will endeavour to make Bangers & Mash less of an assault on one's stomach for tomorrow morning. What is on your game day menu? Edited October 7, 2023 by HIT BY SPIKES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the United States, every state has its own cuisine, and there is delicious food specialties in every state, even though all 50 states are part of USA. Barbecue alone- Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Kansas all have different recipes and techniques. And they will all show you that their Barbecue is the best. Barbecue is an art.

She has amassed thousands of followers by pushing conspiracy theories and what she calls decrees through social media, particularly Telegram — a messaging app that has grown in popularity with the far right.
