Tried making my own years ago in the Philippines after taking advice on how it should be done from lots of experts "who knew how to make it". It was shit. Tried the 10 different brands of home made bottled beetroot that's been available over the years in Pattaya supermarkets, also shit. Next option is UK Heinz which is available everywhere, and is shit. Please do post how you do yours with the recipe and measures, if it's not shit it'd save me flying to Australia under the guise of needing a holiday to get more!.

^ Same same.
The german one they sell in tesco is crap.
Would love to get the Golden Circle recipe.

It might have to much strength and flavour for your delicate Aussie 'palette'.

A pair of old sweat pants and a T shirt circa 2005 will not get the eyes swivelling in my local supermarket.

Only one way to find out isn't there, or...

Who said I was from Oz?. I'm from Nunayah.

It could...

Aussie works burger:

Charlieboy did you get your pickling spices in Thailand?. If so, what exactly were they please. I'd definitely like to try to make a good homemade pickled beetroot and am yet to succeed, but have never tried pickling spices or even know exactly what they are. My previous attempts involved things like vinegar and sugar (white and brown varieties of both), salt, and cloves. Getting raw beetroot is no prob, I'm in Pattaya and buy it weekly anyway for juicing. Thanks for any help.

That looks very nice...

Pan fried crispy skin chicken in orange sauce with new peas, carrot, mushrooms and hasselbacks done is garlic and pepper butter..






Sauce is shallots, garlic, 5 spice, chilli, ginger, dash of balsamic, orange juice and chicken stock.








Burp..

Looking good!
Can't green you, have to spread the lurve!

Found some name brand fusilli noodles in Foodland so decided to cook up a simple pork parmesan with pasta. Simple but nice. I forgot to take a picture of the green salad.

^ Nicking my dinner mats again!
I like the look of the pork and cheese.

Early dinner today.

Looks nice and fresh. Curry sauce or peanut?

We seem to have hasselback mania going on here.

Hasselback fever!

The sauce is a recipe from a mate of mine. Try it out and tell me what you think...

150 ml plain yoghurt.
Half teaspoon coriander powder.
Half teaspoon turmeric.
Quarter/half a teaspoon chill powder.
Quarter teaspoon cumin powder.
Fresh ground black pepper.
Sea salt.
Juice of half lime.

Enjoy.

That's the last time I look at this poxy dinner thread until I get back to some forms of civilisation. !

Bit hungry Nig?



Enjoy your somtam and diesel fried chicken...

Thought I'd have a first ever crack at making beef Fajitas for dinner. Normally get them delivered but no matter how much I plead the beef is always way overdone, and being local meat in the first place this takes a lot out of how good they could be. So with some imported ribeye in the fridge anyway, just a few ingredients needed to be bought and a quick supermarket trip was made.


Probably not everything that should go into a proper Fajita, no guacamole for a start due to their not being any available where I shopped today and in hindsight, I should have used a few Jalapenos that were in the fridge anyway. But it'd have to do.

Fail!. The salsa wasn't hot enough to make them anything like the ones I get delivered and in the end they just tasted more like some sort of a take on a steak sandwich. Won't be trying to fix this next time 'cause there won't be a next time. Too much dicking around and prep time for not much of a return making these from scratch for me. Very ordinary dinner, the best part was having some cold slices of mango for desert.

If you're gonna need a big effort the trick is to make much more than you need for one meal. The chilli I made here was enough for 4 or 5 meals and freezes well.

Dead right Necron. That dish you linked to was some serious effort for some serious reward at the time and whenever you wanted some more the next day/week/whenever. Fajitas are a "right here right now" sort of a proposition that's for sure, all that will happen now is the left over sour cream and tortillas will likely get binned. The biggest fuck-up though is I only eat junk(ish) food once a week and this was it. The bright side is I found and bought some NZ lamb-burgers a few days back that will be next weeks junk food fix when used inside a Works Burger. No fucking around this time, it will be epic .

Spiced chicken burritos with Lebanese eggplant & yoghurt stuff (Batinjan Feta) that I made myself.

Chuffing lovely it was and there's another portion in the fridge for tomorrow.
