Recently learned 2 new (to me) kitchen hacks that were both put to use today with great success.
1/ Cut garlic bulbs in half then microwave them for 10 seconds to make peeling a breeze, they pop right out.
2/ Put onions in the fridge for a few hours before dicing them for no more tears or stinging eyes.

I could never find them in Patts.
Dilly and Mao own TD. They immediately deleted my post.
They are best friends.

No idea, I wouldn't buy frozen sausage rolls down there when when you're never far from a bakery doing fresh baked pies and sausage rolls. Having said that, if I had to guess there's no way I would say the sausage rolls in Armstrong's pic were ever frozen. That pastry and the overall product looks really good.Quote:

It shows how long I've been away from the UK (and how many Greggs I've had) because I had no idea they now do frozen stuff!Quote:

^Who doesn't love a good sausage roll, any side-effects are totally worth it :)
The contentious issue with them of course is sauce or no sauce, and if we're going to open that can of worms what sauce is best.

No worms, canned or otherwise.
^Oh there's worms alright. Who in their right mind would put English mustard on a sausage roll? And what sort of a lunatic would eat one cold???! :)
'It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll'
Armstrong's sausage rolls look good... but for me a proper sausage roll has to be made from short crust pastry, not puff pastry (same for pies).
Eaten hot with tomato sauce, or even better some baked beans!
In fact I may even make some today.
I never found one anywhere near Gregg's calibre in Asia.Quote:

Well... once you buggers sowed the seed...
While I'm stuck in Korat and want sausage rolls... as I find with a lot of other things... I have to do it meself!
Main thing... remember to take the skins off the sausages.

Baste with egg and milk. I had a bit of pastry left over so made a ham and cheese pasty. Who needs Gregs?!!
https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...0&d=1591078565
All ready, and in the oven they go...
https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...1&d=1591078605
... and out the come!
https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...2&d=1591078617
And the money shot!

And could ya bladdy believe it... we've run out of Tomato Sauce. It seems stocktaking is yet another thing I'll have to do myself.
But anyway, with some homemade cream of chicken soup made using the roast chicken carcass from a couple of nights ago... lunch for two!

^About 1000 times better than any pastry baking I've ever tried (before giving up forever) :)
They're a bit special, those Gregg's sausage rolls mate. The only thing I miss from back home now. Well then and a good balti.Quote:

If I was in Thailand I would be making a special trip to Armstrongs Villa and clearing it out.:)
Look great Mendy. What snags were they?Just realised I miss curry patties too:)
^^^^ Great effort Mendip.
gave up years ago, weirdly around the time the heartburn started.Quote:
