Bearman Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 It's Christmas Day and I'm just enjoying my traditional G&T. I've gone for Tanquery ( export strength) and Fever Tree tonic this year. Now it wouldn't be Christmas without a good argument and if you want a good argument this is the very place. So.... How do you make the perfect Dry Martini? Shaken or stirred? What ratio? Olive, olive brine or lemon? Any other hints to achieve perfection? Ron Banks Midlands Hurricanes and Barrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 We had a glass of this before ploughing into the turkey and stuff. Very very tasty and suitably festive.

Stevo Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) It's Christmas Day and I'm just enjoying my traditional G&T. I've gone for Tanquery ( export strength) and Fever Tree tonic this year. Now it wouldn't be Christmas without a good argument and if you want a good argument this is the very place. So.... How do you make the perfect Dry Martini? Shaken or stirred? What ratio? Olive, olive brine or lemon? Any other hints to achieve perfection? Entering tricky terrain here. A martini, the strength thereof and the frequency of their consumption is between a man and his conscience. But here's what life has given me so far: If making with vodka, get everything as cold as possible. Glasses and vermouth in the fridge; vodka in the freezer. Shake with ice - a twist of burnt lemon peel is acceptable, but olives and the rest are an affectation to be avoided in a vodka martina. If making with gin, chill (but do not freeze) the gin. Stir with fridge-cold vermouth, without the ice. An olive is acceptable in a gin martini. With vodka, go for a white vermouth. With gin, go for an extra dry vermouth. If you're trying to impress, then for me something like 1 part vermouth to 5 parts spirit is about right. If you're *really* trying to impress, then just wave the vermouth bottle in the general direction of the drinks mixer. TWO is the optimum number of martinis per person, per session. Hic.

Futtocks Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Currenlty just starting to bubble in the slow cooker, rabbit with prunes and mustard. Not exactly following the linked recipe, but pretty close. M&S have packs of wild rabbit legs during the game season, but you have to be lucky with your timing, as it disappears from the shelves soon after it's been put there. Sainsbury had Agen prunes, pre-soaked in Armagnac, so that's stage I didn't have to do at home. The rest of the ingredients are easy to find. I decided to use cider instead of white wine this time. You can use chicken instead of rabbit, but it isn't quite as good. Still rich and tasty, though. Serve with rice or lentils.

Futtocks Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I have some pork fillet (tenderloin) in the slow cooker that has been marinaded in olive oil, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic and ground cumin. Browned in a frying pan with an oil/butter mix then put in a roasting bag to cook in its own juices. I bought more meat than I need for tonight's meal, as cold-cuts of pork with English mustard in a sandwich is one of the great treats of life.

Robin Evans Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Christmas present last week.... A talk thru all the brewdog range with beers charcuterie and cheese for me n the boy! To say they originally aimed brewdog at the younger generation made me chuckle... They failed miserably in that respect. Fabulous afternoon with great beers. Whilst it wasn't available I have tried brewdog's 'tactical nuclear penguin ' before in Glasgow..... I eventually got my sight back "I love our club, absolutely love it".

timtum Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Last night I went for a pave steak (can't work out how to do accents), served a point, with chips and petit pois. I also made a rather lovely red wine, onion and smoked lardons gravy to go with it. Same again tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Tripe and onions Last night, faggots and peas with onion gravy tonight.

Futtocks Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Chick peas? Chicken? Tomatoes? Keith must have been seriously hammered when he wrote this. Here's a reasonably authentic recipe: http://www.travelchannel.com/shows/anthony-bourdain/articles/cassoulet It says three days, but if you buy pre-soaked white beans (i.e. canned), that's a day cut out already. You can also buy tins of confit duck legs - another day less, so now we are down to a normal recipe timescale.

Tiny Tim Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 have you ever eaten it?Try it then tell me its not tasty .Are you being a food snob? I think Futtocks knows his food. I find my stomach rumbling at the mere thought of some of his meal descriptions. If he ever starts an open kitchen with the folk from TRL invited for dinner I am straight on the train. There's being a food snob and there's being someone who knows a lot about authentic good quality food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
