    ^ that can't be it, i mean why would you abduct a bus load of passengers and drive them all the way to Coventry for 2 day old lasagne. I am guessing it has something to do with the stuff in the bottle that is the colour of what you get in babies nappies.

    ^ At least he got a nice tart.


    I've given up on Western food at this place we're staying at... the salad is always covered in yellow gloop, and if I ask for no yellow gloop they simply don't give me any salad with the meal. They can't seem to comprehend 'salad with no yellow gloop'.

    Today it was chicken and rice for the daughter and I thought I'd try Nong Khai larb moo.

    I went 'pet nitnoi' and it had me snorting like a horse and needing a second Leo to cleanse my pallet.

    The daughter's chicken was supposed to come with salad, sans gloop, so of course there was no salad. Two pieces of my cucumber was the bribe if she was to get ice cream.

    I have a buddy up in Nong Khai, if you are still there he recommends Maccy's Riverside. Maybe check it out?

    Whats this Edmond-esque 'we' you are using nowadays?

    Have you taught the Thai partner? how to slice a chook yet or does she/he cleaver the fucker sideways, splintering all the bones, like the rest of them?

    Trying to guess which of the pair of you cooked this. The lack of head and claws would suggest you, but where's the fucking seasoning and did you have a powercut?

    We as in myself and partner. She cleans and preps the chickens, then puts them in the oven. My job then is to know when to take them out and resting time based on weight and oven temp, then she cuts them using chicken shears. We've tried most every sort of different seasoning and cooking methods but are happiest with the results of a simple rub of EVOO and sprinkle of Himalayan salt before popping them in the oven. No head and claws are ever involved because they're only ever Betagro chooks from Foodland, 1.7kg or better in size.

    Now fuck off back to your corner office

    I've got a wee cough.

    I remember those Betagro chickens. The size of a fucking emu. Never tried one. Are they injected with water or US imported?

    Those betagro things are full of antibiotics.

    I guess they'd double up to curb the herpes outbreaks

    I use Betagrow for their chickens as well Dill. For one big reason, they dont have antibiotics and hormones added.
    Betagro certified as antibiotic-free

    Just learned that the more common name is Poultry Shears. No matter, they make cutting up Chickens easy.

    Of course they are, that's the very reason I buy them. And 9/11 was an inside job.

    Well how come they are so big, compared to Mendip's Thai chooks and Teakdoor's biggest monger doesn't have the mother of all Jocks Itch like our pea loving, fungus sporing friend?

    ^Because of the hormones, you didn't really think they were only giving them antibiotics did you?

    I've always called them kitchen shears. Chickens are usually fed steroids to help them to the market quicker by the larger companies.

    After Mendip was talking about leeks the other day it reninded me about Cawl or welsh lamb soup. Very simple and perhaps should go in the blokes cookery thread.

    Neck of lamb, bone in
    Potatoes
    Leeks
    Carrots
    Onion
    Swede
    Salt & pepper

    I add oregano and pearl barley..in the slow cooker overnight. Its quite fatty so i usually leave to cool and skim the fat off. Its a soup and stew in one, suck up the liquid with crusty bread first then deal with the lumps.

    Pretty sure that sort of thing stopped a very long time ago. Ok there's probably small scaled operations doing it in backwater countries, but major producers and exporters who actually state that their products are growth-agent free wouldn't be in business long once tests showed otherwise. I think through cross-breeding and genetics, chickens bred for meat commercially just grow faster and larger than other species of chickens that are smaller but good egg layers, the sort of fowls Mendip and Ootai keep for example.
