Cookery Thread

[Mr JP Fugley]

Then you are blind to the concept of culinary juxtaposing.

Which if I'm entirely honest I find a bit surprising.

Wait a minute, why would I even discuss such a thing with someone who doesn't even own a mandolin.

Why would the fact that I dislike maple syrup negate my ability to cook imaginatively? I am in no way "blind" to culinary juxtaposing at all thanks. Don't judge my ability on one factor please. I'm a bloody good cook thank you very much and I have to say that I have never used maple syrup in any meal in my life, and I haven't missed it.

I don't own a mandolin because I'm fucking poor and there are other things I need more. Decent ingredients for example, or a sofa.

Shh I'm listening to Jim Reeves.

Crabby, get yourself a cheese slicer (they're the triangular shaped things with a slit at the base on a handle). Dead cheap. Slice the parsnips that way and then deep fry them in vegetable oil.

Edit: And make sure they're dry by patting them with kitchen towel and put them in really hot oil....up max for about 5 minutes from cold. They should crisp up in seconds rather than minutes .

I'm trying to avoid the deep frying to make a healthy crisp alternative - hence the baking. I've seen it done before so I'll try it again with the slicy bit on the grater over the weekend. Good idea there. Cheers!

Mandolin indeed. est suggestion ever .

[manker]

I don't know what a mandolin is. True story.

When I read a word on this forum I'm not sure of, I usually google to discover its meaning (it's happened like 4 times this year already) - but given the threadular context, I shan't on this occasion.

[Squeamous]

You definitely have to fancy men to know what a mandolin is.

[Barbarossa]

It's a little guitar isn't it


Errr, *cough* I mean I have no idea

[Squeamous]

That's the sexual orientationally acceptable version Barbie .

If pushed - and before reading this fine thread - I would have said a mandolin was a species of small monkey.

Can't be tho' as a small monkey wouldn't be ideal for slicing parsnips.
Whatever parsnips are.
