I tend not to order it anymore as I'm a pig and the rest go hungry because I've it alll gone

dee_mc

Cheese! Mature cheddar, goat's, Jarlsberg, baked Camembert, Parmesan on just about anything... all of the cheese

fiddlechic

Goat's cheese.

And Brenda Costigan's version of Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Brownies - first made them 3 weeks ago; I have made them 3 times since. Didn't bother with chocolate sauce after 1st time. Perfection. http://www.independent.ie/life/food-drink/a-bit-of-brunch-26699298.html

MrTsSnickers

Coriander and lime juice/zest can make most savory dishes infinitely better.

thirteen.

Rocket, I'm having it with almost everything atm.

Faith

Garlic. I think I'm immune to it now because I could put an entire bulb in a dish and barely be able to taste it

And seasonally, new potatoes - steamed in their skins, with loads of butter. I'd eat them with nothing else!

Toulouse

Potato salad - just can't get enough of it at the moment!

Sat down and ate a bowl of it on its own last night O_o

As this is in Food & Drink I'll also mention that Moscow Mules (vodka, lime juice & ginger ale) are a current favourite on balmy evenings.

Burritos filled with rice and black bean stew.

Sweet potato chips (I nearly made myself sick the other day)

Home-made houmous

Home-made granola

Ok, I feel hungry now...

Mr. CooL ICE

Peppers.
I put them in a lot of dishes and they always go in a salad.
I think they're the best tasting vegetable out there; I love the crunch of them and the texture and the freshness.
Also love how they add texture, when cut chunky, in curries.

Roxirose

Kale chips
Slimming world curry loaf
Chili, on almost everything
Iceberg lettuce
Twinings green tea; salted caramel, gingerbread and caramelised apple flavours
Scallions wrapped in ham slices
Peppers

French beans .. I planted 6 plants in the raised beds this year, and even if one day I pick what I think is every bean to be had, 2 days later I can pick the same number again ad infinitum. Not that I'm complaining of course.

hidinginthebush

Corn on the cob with smoked paprika butter!

Was on a huge hummus and pita kick a while ago, but it seems to have passed

Homemade coleslaw is probably the greatest food on the planet

BikeQueery

Bacon joint, sweet potato, pesto, Irish coffee.

I was the very same with garlic, I added it into everything and it got to the point where I couldn't taste it at all, no matter how much I added, everyone was complaining about it so I stopped putting it in altogether

I am loving steamed new potatoes, can't beat them with butter, salt and pepper. I love to add a chopped scallion on top too. Delicious.

I've also been really loving Jamie Oliver chilli and tomato jarred sauce, unlike me to use jarred sauces as I normally use passata or tomatoes with plenty of herbs/spices, but this is lovely and spicy, and I love to add chilli flakes too, for extra spiciness.

Pesto. The real stuff.

Been three years without it as a family member has a cashew allergy. Every single bought pesto on the market has cashew. 2 weeks ago went mental and bought the crazy expensive pine nuts to make it myself. Justification -> just harvested the basil and garlic.

Pesto on toast.
Pesto on meat.
Pesto on burger.
Pesto on pizza and pasta and cheese and fish and salad.

Looking for a pesto cocktail.

Cashews in pesto? I thought it was just pine nuts?

whiskeyman

Honey!
Started spooning it on my breakfAst, and now cooking with it and eating it by the spoon!
Nyomnyom!

Roesy

Corn Relish from The Scullery

Oink

I wish I had such refined tastes as ye lot.

I can't get enough of anything that tastes half-decent.
I love chorizo, and rice, and honey in the morning, a nice lamb shank for dinner, anything pig-related (God I love pork...), rare steaks, a lovely chicken roast, bbq'ed fish with loads of herbs. Ms Piggy thinks I'm just a oversized recycling bin.

Although 'proper' pesto uses pine nuts, you can use all kinds of nuts including cashews. A lot of commercial pestos use cashews, maybe they're cheaper?

BTW, I saw a piece on Jimmy Doherty's Food Unwrapped series on Channel 4 a while ago on cashews. The process the raw product goes through to produce the final nut is amazing ... the nuts themselves are covered with a skin that contains a strong skin irritant. Roasting them has to be done outdoors as it releases a smoke that irritates the lungs can potentially be life threatening :eek:

I love this forum for the mad stuff it teaches me!

On topic: caramelized onions, burritos from Pablo Picante and above all: Lidl jam donuts. They'll never be superquinn donuts but by god they are close. Have to limit myself to 1 per week but that one makes my entire weekend all the sweeter!

Animord

Aubergines. Cooked slowly and for ages on the grill pan, with lots of good olive oil and garlic. And bread to mop up the oil with.

I am totally addicted at the moment and it is showing on my waistline.

herisson

Mushrooms I eat them in everything
Sun dried tomatoes if ya haven't picked that up :pac:
Potato salad
And burritos I can't get enough of them!

the beer revolu

Peeled, deseeded and chopped tomatoes with fresh garlic and torn basil leaves.
Lots of good quality Irish tomatoes knocking around these days and have lovely garlic from the garden.

It's really not that much hassle to do and is really worth the effort, imo.
The seeds and innards never get thrown out either - they either get chopped up and added to sauces or just eaten with a spoon.:D

Mrs Fox

Birds eye chillies, and crispy chilli in oil. Condiment in almost everything on my plate. From scrambled eggs to spaghetti carbonara.

loveisdivine

Franks I did a terribly embarrasing happy dance when I found out its vegan!

Oh and mushrooms, always mushrooms. I could happily eat nothing but shrooms for the rest of my life.

kylith

Shellfish.

Give me a bucket of prawns and something to winkle out every scrap of meat and I am the happiest of campers.

A whole lotta love for pesto, herself goes crazy for it.

And if scrambled googies are the food of the deities than mushrooms must be angels food, surely that has to be true.

I used to be a fecking expert on the price of pine nuts in every supermarket, healthfood shop and ethnic store in my area

I've found that the price varies from around 25 euro/kg up to over 40 euro/kg. I think the best standard price these days in in Lidl, they do fairly small bags in the nuts/dried fruit area that I think are around the 25 euro/kg mark.


(My personal best buy was when Dunnes were doing a "buy 2 get 1 free" on their bagged nuts range, so if you bought 3 bags of pine nuts they ended up costing about 17 euro/kg.)

Can you tell how serious I was about getting a good deal on pine nuts yet?

Lidl don't seem to sell them anymore - was looking for some last week - Lidl Parnell NOR Glasnevin had any; nor were they on the little stickers beside the nut selections where they were before; Aldi had none; Dunnes had none; Tesco had 1 measly bag, hidden in the couscous box.

None in Bray either, I checked today

Buuut the sign is still there so I'm hoping that maybe some canny shopper is just snagging every bag of pine nuts out of the box of various seed mixes. I really hope they are not gone, the price is 23.80/kg which is very good indeed.

That's good that sign still there - no signs in either Parnell or Glasnevin. I looked like a crazy person - I started reading aloud the signs to be 100% sure it wasn't there....

Thargor

Going through a bit of a fad for making breadcrumbs and egg mix (this is as complex as my cooking gets) then dipping whatever fish is going cheap at the butchers in the mix and frying it, Im making various sandwiches out of this using different breads and sauces from Lidl like those amazing looking lobster rolls you see on Reddit and other American food blogs, cant believe something I cooked tastes so good

Also eating 2-3 omelets every weekend with whatever leftover meat there is lying around, barbeque pulled pork and scallions with loads of cheese in an omelet is amazing, same for southern fried chicken.

Toto Wolfcastle

Buttered salty corn on the cob. So good.
