Day old stew

Butterfly baby

Now I could have posted this in After Hours but I don't think there's enough people to appreciate what a day old stew really is, I made a stew today with spuds, mince, sausages, chicken peices, bacon (and carrots, onions, and celery but that was just for colour) and I had some but only a bit, I'm leaving it to "rest" for a day because I firmily believe that the best Irish contribution to the world is Day Old Stew...Is there really any better meal?

yes add a bit of crusty bread w/garlic butter

It is not a stew until it has aged at least a day!! It also has to be eaten cold :pac:

I said "Irish" not italian, if you want to add something like that it should be the crusty end if a batch loaf covered in real Irish butter like you're cementing a wall and not that garlic bread crap...

Totally agree, it has to be the only meal ever that tastes nicer cold and as for curing a hangover, a good stew injection with a lump of batch loaf is your only man to soak up all the remenants of the night before.

Ah come on, some nice fresh Brennans white with the real butter (still cold). Wrap that around the mince stew (doing it with two slice can be, eh, challenging) and its great.

Let's get this straight, if someone makes you the above dish and offers it to you on the first day of making, then it is a hot meal, possibly a stew! If you are offered it on the second or even possibly third day after making then it is an Irish Stew! Hope that is clear to you all, unlike the stew!

taidghbaby

yes....sure didnt the kings of leon sing about it!

markesmith

Totally agree. Spaghetti bollocknaked is also very nice on the second day.

up them Schteps

Drive on!

Mmmmmm day old stew!
Mmmmmmmmmmm 2 day old stew!

Chili con carne (with extra carne) aka Mexican Irish stew, also gets magnificent after a few days 'rest'.

meat loaf also improves with age ... lively on day 1, vibrant on day 2, peaking on day 3, and becoming more pungent than piquant on day 4.

i fuppin' LOVE meat loaf.

I'd agree with everything else but the Erdinger, it's Satans p!ss when he has Gonerreah...If there was a vomit smilie I wouldn't use it but only because I think smilies are retarded and not because I don't think the use of Erdinger is retarded...

You can't make a sweeping statement like that and not offer an alternative in place of the Erdinger. Personally I'm not a massive Erdinger fan, but the Dunkel is the best of them imo. What would you have instead of it?

i've used guinness, erdinger dunkel, weihenstephaner dunkel, and sam adams black lager in the past and the dunkel beers were the best. Regular erdinger isn't the best beer out there, but if i'm somewhere that has no other wheat beer i'd have no problems drinking it. Erdinger dunkel is a completely different beast

I'm afraid I can't do that, I don't drink much and find the thoughts of mixing beer and food quite vile, I've tasted Erdinger but in a limited capacity and can't imagine using it mixed with food but to be honest I can't imagine mixing any beer as an ingredient in a meal, it's more or less akin to putting Pineapple on a pizza...

Seraphicblue

have you ever had a lamb stew with red wine?
the lamb has half cloves of garlic put randomly into the leg and then marinated in red wine and herbs
spaghetti sauce is then added. then onions and carrots and tomatoes and slung into the oven till the lamb is done

Edit: I mentioned wine for cooking....I have LOST MAN POINTS!

I know of a Brother who is very fond of pineapple on pizza. Huge amounts of it. I couldn't possibly name and shame though for fear that he might be shunned.

Pineapple goes well with custard ... not with pizza.

True. Unfortunately, not all of the Brothers are as wise as you are.

Less of the pineapple hating! :mad:

mayordenis

Guinness Stew no?
Goudenband Carbonnade, do it.

Oh I do love the pineapples ... in swiss rolls and with custard and so forth.

Pizza requires the finer things in life, like spicey meats and cheese.

You're no fun!
when you say you don't like erdinger is it because there are better wheat beers out there or because you're not a fan of wheat beer?
