Darren, many thanks for showing the world what a wonderful, delicious and varied foods we have here in the U.K. not to mention our rich history to boot. Most Americans think we eat Fish n Chips, Trifle and Shepherds Pie all the time but you show just how varied our cuisine is. Love you to make some more traditional U.K. desserts Eve’s pudding, Liverpool, Manchester, Yorkshire and Bakewell Tarts, Fools, Syllabubs, Cobblers and Crumbles, or Cherries Jubilee. Or delicious mains for example Hotpots, Raised Pies or varied game pies, Pie n Mash, Bubble n Squeak, Faggots or Beef Wellington. I know you concentrate on your years working for the Palaces but I’m sure most of the royals have eaten traditional British fare, I myself served most of the royals during my catering years in London 80s/90s. Keep going sir loving your posts chef.

@nigelmoignard53483 жыл бұрын
@@jenmagson9044 oh I don’t know, with good ingredients you can make an excellent Shepherd or Cottage Pie. I slow cook my mince beef or lamb with onions over night. Add some tiny bits of carrots and swede and cook for an hour or so. Let cool completely then make your mash potatoes. Use good potatoes, lashings of butter and some cream. Top over the cooked cooled mince then make points with the potatoes so whilst cooking they get all crispy and golden. I sometimes add cheese to the pots or sprinkle some good cheddar delicious 🤤

When my Mum used to make this, she'd use arrowroot as a thickening agent for any fruit (but she'd also add half a teaspoon into the main mixture) because posset was the ideal way of getting a stomach-settler into a whiny kid with tummy troubles. See also junket. Because it was an entirely different age, my Mother saw absolutely no problems with putting a bit of brandy syrup in junket to deal with a child's teething problems!

Here in Sweden we have these tiny amaretti, called "mandelbiskvier" (almond biscuits) that are usually used as a topping with rose hip soup along with cream or vanilla ice cream, very classic swdish dessert. They are about the size of a thumbnail and more crunchy with a chewy inside than "normal" amaretti. Really nice with lemon posset, I prefer them to larger amaretti.
