Does anyone here use 'Sauce flour' to thicken their sauces e.g. bechamel sauce, gravy?
It's designed so that it's less likely to clump, so you could just add it to a liquid without the need for making a roux.
I can't find it in my local stores so do you think '00' flour is a good alternative, or is it treated in a particular way as well as being more finely milled?
Noticed a month or so ago that the new Aldi mayo no longer tasted like Hellmans but had gone cheap, like Heinz, found the old recipe in the pantry and i was right, the old one is the lighter 'real mayonnaise' the new one is the one with blue on the label and darker sauce, WTF?
I can't really afford Hellmans. This is outrageous, I need to find who sells it at a reasonable price, and did Aldi think we would never notice? ADDED THE OTHER INGREDIENTS IN THE COMMENTS, ACCIDENTALLY PUT THE SAME ONE TWICE
This is the most expensive I’ve seen this meal before. A few pounds more and you could be in The Ivy. The Mardi Gras, Trafford Centre, Manchester.
They have changed the salt to reduced sodium sea salt. They done this a year ago and people complained so much they quickly reverted, but they’re doing it again. It has potassium mixed with salt which gives it that metallic taste.
with peas and pickled onyo. Eggs well buried.
Crusty farmhouse bread and butter on another plate
Is there a standard recipe for making a steamed pudding like the one for a sponge cake, the 50g of everything per egg one and can I sub some flour for bread crumbs?
Staying at Novotel London Waterloo. Any recommendations in the immediate area? I have plenty across town!
I always expect to be served food that is difficult to make at home. Apart from that, it never should be worse than the food I cook at home. However, I've had a few nasty experiences over the years. I've also realised a lot of the good reviews a place gets are written by family, friends, and staff of the business... Or from people with an invested interest.
What are all your worst experiences, and where if you don't mind saying? Also, do you think places have dropped their standards due to rising business costs, or do you think people just can't be bothered anymore trying to make decent food?
It seems the good places are closing down rapidly and being replaced with unhealthy corporate chains like Greggs and other disease causing establishments.
Never buying cod again if this is the new price point
Bought a box of mini Magnums, but it looks like it's been through a 90°C wash cycle. It’s basically a chocolate-coated toothpick.
*Subtle Marmite flavour, very nice indeed
**One St Ewe's, one Tesco's. See if you can guess which is which!
Chef sauce because Mrs n-Gravy is Irish. And it's delicious.
Murdochs beef sausages, beans with onion and assorted powders
Pukka chicken and mushroom pie, garlic n herb spuds, mushy peas and gravy.
Can't go wrong!
