name='samkydd']My favourite dish for relaxing and watching a good old black and white British film is fish finger sandwiches on crusty brown bread and a glass of ice cold Vimto (did you hear about the dyslexic rock star who choked on his own vimto?).



For a mass gathering at home to watch Spinal Tap or something you can't beat a mixed bag Indian takeway!

Thank You Sam, it`s good to know I`m not alone.... I thought it was just my guilty pleasure. Do you add anything..Brown sauce or Tomato Ketchup or maybe just a dash of Salt & Vinegar, mmmmmmmmmm



P.S. To the Fish Finger sandwiches of course, not the Vimto.

Sugar + condensed milk (full of sugar) + optional choc. + carbonated soft drink ...you'd have to have a death wish!!!!

[ShirlGirl]

name='Steve Crook']That's the Glasgow diet, the sweetest and richest and fattiest known to man (or woman). It's not just the sugar, they like a lot of fat as well. It was in Glasgow that they invented the deep fried Mars bar - and that's why Glasgow is known as the heart attack capital of Scotland

Smoking wouldn't help, either. I get the impression from Scottish TV shows that Scotland is chock-a-block full of nicotine addicts!





BUT... all that porridge must do them some good!

name='Dame Starry']Potato Wedges



Ingredients:



Potatoes

Vegetable Oil



Heat oven to 190°C with a dry roasting dish or baking tray in.



Use smallish potatoes; wash (don't peel) and cut each into 4 lengthways.



Bring to the boil in a pan of lightly-salted water and allow to boil for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and drain.

Shake about to ‘rough up’ the edges a little and then add enough vegetable oil to coat the potato wedges as you turn them over with a spoon.



When the oven reaches temperature put the potatoes, skin side down, onto the tray and then into the oven.



Cook for about 40-45 minutes, turning twice to make sure that they are browned on all three sides.



Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and coarsely-ground black pepper.



Serve with a creamy dip, favourite ketchup or curry sauce while you watch the footie.



(I haven't got a photo of these yet - but I'll post one later!)

Carmel - can I ask a question, please?



Do you put the salmon in the marinade while it's still hot, or do you let it cool down first?

I've this genius idea for a Crimbo bash, we all sit at the bar getting drunk (slagging off Ricky Gervais, the naffness of Battle of the River Plate, is Night of the Demon an occult film....) whilst you and Bats slave over a hot stove preparing the nosh.



Sounds ace to me... ahem...
