Less controversial. More satisfying. Any food or wine connoisseurs?

jamie - been cooking a bit like that for agesOriginally Posted by Chairtime
I love a good port. Also like Chianti.
<<I grow a lot of my own food, eat mainly organic, local, seasonal
Do you like to cook spagetti sauce? I know it's a basic dish but I love making tomato meat sauce. I can spend 4 hours on it.
of course, if we want spagettie - i make the sauce, often the pasta.. i really dont do processed food
Good bread, good cheese. Best meal I ever had was somewhere in Italy years and years ago on my first honeymoon, bought a cheap bottle of wine, a loaf of bread, a hunk of cheese and an exquisite fresh melon--really fabulous. Also really fresh fish done simply can be divine.
I have for years been only a red wine drinker--love a nice cab or pinot, but lately getting into light whites, especially pinot grisio (I know that's not spelt correctly!!!)
if i moved to italy i would resign to being fat
Supposedly the Mediterranean diet is very good for you--olive oil, whole grains, veggies, fruit, red wine, fish. Of course there's that moderation crap.....
If you want to make the world's best meatballs, use this mix. I watched a chef do this on TV and tried it myself. It's the best.
-ground beef and pork
-feta cheese chunks
-egg
-breadcrumbs
-fennel seeds

I like to drink soy milk! Tried it in South Korea a few years ago.
Helps reduce the chorestrol they say!

Sheppards Pie: Hamburger, Mashed Potatos and cheese. You can't get any better than that! (ok, maybe add some peas and onion to the hamburger)
Best wine: MD 20-20 Concord Grape! Taste better than Richard's Wild Irish Rose or Thunderbird...and its Kosher!:cheers:
"Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde"
I haven't had Shepherds Pie in ages. You got a good recipe??
Chocolate covered potato chips. They are made up of the important food groups:

INDIAN FOOD! Each time I go home to the UK that's the first thing I want, then some good fish and chips with mushy peas, bread and butter and hot tea... Not on the same day I hasten to add!
Love light wines, white zinfandel, or blackberry merlot, or a good German beer!:cheers:
Ever try Keema Matter? (spelled wrong)
Mmm, can't say that I remember that one! Korma, yes, and Vindaloo, and Madras, and Biryani etc. And don't forget all the sambals, and poppadom! Oh my, can hardly wait for next year now....:cheers: Shall have to ask my niece if she fed me that last time, the Keema, I mean! She's very much into bringing home Indian from either the restaurant or supermarket!!

QD01 - not to change topic but noticed your post about gluten and dairy free..
These are some really good waffles for your partner :D

The Buckwheat Wildberry are quite amazing for being gluten, dairy, yeast & egg free.
thanks so much, my partner is loving that web site. What really gets me is a food label on a pack of sliced ham i read the other day - contains milk, water, pile of E numbers and preservatives... why on Earth is there milk in Ham? Does your head in
