Never even heard of ghee but it sounds like it could be the reason restaurant curries don't agree with me and I prefer my own.

Its clarified butter

 

Thanks for clarifying it's butter.

:D

Just to be clear....

A nice bowl of Alpen for Breakfast.

 

Tuna salad for lunch. Loving a bit of extra virgin oil drizzle on salads these days.

Be interested if anyone has andy very good home made salad dressings that are reasonably healthy and in particular Im desperate for a proven home made cesar dressing that kicks ass.

Some proper haute cuisine on this thread like. Tuna salad, whatever next.

 

 

You are quite truly one of the most pathetic bitter little miserable cunts I have ever had the misfortune to come across. :icon_lol:

 

:D Fuck me, that's a bit strong don't you think?

 

Just find it odd you are making the effort to post pictures of very normal food. No need to get your XL knickers in a twist.

You spewed on your salad?

 

The Magic of Google

 

No shit sherlock :D thats why I enquired about home made so that the recipe has been tested and warrants inclusion.

The fact they're posted on a pro website promoting salad would lead me to conclude they have, in fact, been tried and tested

I could find a zillion recipes online, I was more interested if anyone had any little gems of their own that they use regularly and were happy to share.

 

Im sure the Monkey household has a favourite home made dressing or two.

Oil, balsamic.

Couldn't really get much simpler.

 

Oil, White wine vinegar, Dijon mustard ( or French if you fancy - the dark brown stuff). Pinch of salt and pepper.

 

Oil , chilli, garlic, lime juice and zest.

 

 

Basically, an oil, an acid, and a flavour.

Having a peruse through my newly acquired Classic Balti recipe book and a few of the ingredients are items such as....

 

White cumin seeds

Crushed dried red chillies

Mixed onion seeds

Mustard seeds

Fenugreek seeds

 

Are these the sort of things that I will find in the local Asda or do you need to visit a specialist food shop?

Most of it. I've not seen white cumin seeds or onion seeds before, but I've not been looking for it.

 

Usually when there's an ingredient that I think they'll never fucking have this, it's nearly always there.

Not cooking but......

 

Seabrooke have launches a new range of crisps called "Goodbye Salt, Hello Flavour". They have 90% less salt than normal crisps.

 

More important / incredibly for any healthy eaters / dieters who like crisps, they are only 17 cals a packet (and their big normal size packets).

 

Compare that to a packet of walkers etc that are well over 100 cals.

 

Quite a find.

 

Currently munching through a packet of Jacket potato and Tomato sauce flavour. :D

Quick Google search finds a WeightWatchers thread where they're discussing these crisps. Apparently the packs have two sets of nutritional value on the back, one for the entire product and one for the flavouring. And it's the flavouring that has 17 calories per pack, never mind the tiny matter of the actual potatoes. :D

 

Can you confirm, CT?

Fuckity fuck fuck :icon_lol:

 

They are so misleadingly labelled (now that you've pointed it out), it is unreal.
