So the wife's away. which means I'm subsisting on hot meat sandwiches

[Burney]

Last night's was sirloin steak in ciabatta with English mustard, fried onions, deep-fried crispy onions and a sharp cheddar. Delicious, obviously, but a question hangs over tonight. I have the means to make the same again, but that would be rather a shame, I feel. However, the temptation is simply to go to the kebab shop.

So, AWIMB, can someone recommend me something to cook that tempts me more than a kebab? :rubchin:

I'm alone tonight and have a large rib-eye and a suitable bready accompaniment to hand :rubshands:

You could try the Moro belly; it's terribly good.

On the other hand, from time to time one must simply give in to temptation. The mixture of doner, shish, kofte and adana is clearly on your mind. Perhaps this is an itch which needs to be scratched.

You lucky, lucky *******. I'm going here. You can practically taste the faddish faff and fussiness over the internets :-(

Look at you, ciabatta, so *trendy.

Oh, I certainly shall try the Moro. However, only one pig belly per week - that's the rule.

May I recommend the addition of the cheddar to your steak sandwich? I did it last night on a piggy whim (and because I was viciously hungry) and I do honestly believe it elevated the thing somewhat. I like ciabatta with a steak sandwich, as it's just the right balance between chewy and yielding.

The kebab man is winning at the moment, it's true. However, the special mixed is too much meat for one sitting.

The chef's called 'Florian', r, which is not the name of a man likely to serve you manly, rugged food. :-(

[IUFG]

I shall not waste the energy on such a futile act.

Get yourself down to the kebab shop. You know you want to :kebab:

Cheddar, is it? Are we not in perilous danger of approaching what we know to be the Ultimate Dish, but are too scared to acknowledge as such? You know, a steak, covered in cheese, wrapped in bacon, deep-fired?

I have no excellent bread and am toying with the idea of the latkes.

:nono: While we know this to be true, we must never be tempted because to create such a thing because if it's as good as we imagine, all other meals will be rendered meaningless and if it doesn't live up to expectation, there will be nothing to aspire to. It must remain a platonic sandwich only.

Must admit, I've never made latkes. Whenever I've eaten them, they've been quite phenomenally greasy.

I'm thinking that the steak would be filled with garlic butter, á la chicken Kiev; indeed, the whole thing might well be pannéed. Obviously it would be served as a sandwich.

They don't usually come out greasy. Perhaps mine are more rosti-ish than latke-y really. I think it's frying them in clarified butter that keeps them nice and light.

[redgunamo]

Indeed. I've actually devised a most cunning escape plan involving my sons feigning illness and then we four hitting the old town breweries for beers, bread and Haxen.

Mrs C was out with her sisters after work last night Sir C
Being home alone my dinner consisted of a bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes,a toasted soda and a cone from the ice-cream van.All-in-all a dinner worthy of an athlete like myself.

Dear God, man! I've just realised what has to happen - a Veal Cordon Bleu Sandwich. How have I never thought of this before? It's so obvious!

Jaysus c. If b and I could get our hands on you for a weekend we'd have you wielding pans like a dervish, so we would.

I could teach you at least fifty ways to use eggs :cloud9:

Beautiful. Just... beautiful.

It would need a few finely sliced raw onion rings for crunch and definition.

I sympathise, I really do :-( My wife asked if I missed her when she called last night. I had eaten a fantastic sandwich, was burping contentedly in between guzzling claret and watching a Mel Gibson movie. The honest answer would have been 'No, not really'.

Fortunately, I'm not stupid. :nod:

Yes. You have to be very careful introducing vegetables, of course. The onion and the mushroom are fine, of course, but many's the sarnie that's been destroyed by too much foliage (the Banh Mi being the honourable exception, of course). It would need crunch, though you're right. And some bacon.

Have you gone vegetarian, c? :-(

And the football's on tonight as well.

Which MG movie was it?

[TheCurly]

tbh B,if I didn't HAVE to eat I wouldn't.
Sometimes at weekends I would eat virtually nothing and only through Mrs C's nagging might I have a round of toast.I just wish the Tefal heads could come up with a pill like what you see in the fillums

Latest one. Blood Father. Quite good, actually.

But food is a joyous thing, c. I feeds the body and soul. There are only so many good things in life and food is one of the biggies for me.

What the **** time do you people get home from work to be able to cook such elaborate meals and not be sitting down to eat after 10pm?

Cooking my dinner last night took me about 15 minutes, m :shrug: And I don't think Sir C is suggesting I make the Moro tonight.
