I don't like to repeat stuff that close together but I sometimes do my chipotle and smoked paprika beef burgers topped with chorizo, roasted peppers and smoked cheese more frequently. I'd swap what I made with them though, either homemade spicy wedges, triple cooked chips or sweet potato fries and then either beer battered onion rings or sometimes battered jalapenos.

Why do you think these are weird? They're clearly for dessert and the base is sweet. The only thing about it that's comparable to a pizza is how it looks.

Not that sweet and savoury is a bad thing, I make an incredible maple syrup and bacon ice cream (everyone who's tried it has liked it, even the dubious ones) and I do a nice coconut and chili ice cream too.

Coconut and chilli I can see, but maple syrup and bacon is But Americans do this combination with pancakes, I think, so it can't be completely odd

I do enjoy bacon and maple syrup pancakes, it just works.

The ice cream went down really well with everyone and lots of people tried it. Even the ones who went "yuck" when I told them about it actually liked it when they tried it.

I'm a sucker for maple syrup though, absolutely love it, I sometimes make a cottage pie type thing that has maple syrup in the gravy! Again, that sounds odd but it works. I've had some good beers with maple syrup in too.

^^^ I have maple syrup somewhere so I may try this combo. The worst that can happen is that I will have to eat it separately.

If you read my post correctly I never did say they were weird,
Post 12 if you want to re-read it.

Sorry, you said they sounded "dreadful", even though you like apple crumble, which implies it's the "pizza" branding that's putting you off and then used the shocked emoji about the chocolate ones. It came across (to me anyway) that you thought they were strange or weird.

If that's what you thought that's fine.

snipped

I've made halva ice cream before - well not for 20 years but it was v v good.
With shop vanilla ice cream I like some Whole Earth crunchy peanut butter.

Admit I do love maple syrup. So expensive but delish.
I might try some with my bacon.
Was tempted to buy a proper waffle maker but my OH was non-plussed- he doesn't like Belgian waffles.

French toast with maple syrup is my sinful treat with crispy bacon.

That's my supper sorted as I 'm on my own tonight.
Do you put cinnamon in the French Toast mix, it works with the bacon?

I'm not a fan of cinnamon, so no. I don't dilute the beaten egg with milk either, but I do insist on a full inch thick stale bread, the better to soak up the egg

Okey-doke.
Unfortunately the freezer has yielded thin white bread and streaky bacon but thanks for the tips.

Why haven't the mods close this thread yet, given that 'curry' has already been given as the definitive (and only possibly correct) answer? Spinach and Pommes Frites with a garlic mayonnaise - Seriously?!

Just because your world may begin and end with curry some of us spread our wings a bit further.
Or were you joking, I can never tell.

yes but which "curry"? It's all a bit vague.

How many types of "curry" are there? Does "curry " really exist outside of a UK curry house?

Exactly!!!

This thread should have been entitled, "For the cooks out there. Curry you'd be happy to dish up once every week?" But it wasn't.

This is the pure absurdity of it all...

Start that thread Mr Brunel, bet there are scores of fans on here who want to argue the toss over a korma vs a murg makhani etc

I will risk the wrath of curry lovers and post this lasagna recipe. You make your favourite tomato based sauce. Mine is oil, garlic, onion, paprika, minced meat, a can of tomatoes, tomato purée, salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme. I cook it only about 30 minutes, it's not like a bolognese, but still tastes good. Beschamel sauce is oil, butter, flour, milk. I also add grated grana padano into it to melt when it is done. I also like to cook sliced button mushrooms on a bit of oil under a lid, and put it as a last layer under a beschamel on top. I soak the pasta in cold water and then layer it with the sauce. I do not put beschamel inside, only one layer on top that becomes crispy when done. So layers of pasta (not too much, my lasagna is basically a lot of sauce with a pasta here and there) and tomato sauce, mushrooms on top, beschamel on top of that. Into preheated oven on 200C for 40 minutes. Feel free to change, add, remove things, whatever feels right for you.

Aubergine "curry"! With chapattis

I am talking to myself now, but anyway

Fruit souffle. I tried it with strawberries, that was the original recipe, but I also did it with apricots and it was even better.

Prepare fruit jam - cut 200 g of fruit into small cubes, add just a bit of water to get it going and 1 tablespoon of sugar . You can try at the end if you want to add more. Cook it for about 5 minutes, then pass it through a sieve to remove any seeds from strawberries or bigger pieces. Put it back into a pan or a pot, mix a bit of water and 1 level tablespoon of starch in a cup and mix it in into the fruit juice and cook until it thickens. Put in the fridge until it cools down.

Take 3 egg whites, whip until you get a nice thick foam, now spoon after spoon add 150g of fine crystal sugar until the foam is thick and shiny. Make sure the fruit jam is not hot and mix it in slowly into the foam. You can make space in the bowl on the side, put the jam there and use a spoon to slowly mix more and more foam into the jam until it's done.

Prepare souffle forms, spread a bit of butter in each, including sides, coat with fine crystal sugar, sides also. You will need four 10cm forms for this. Divide the foam into forms, tap the bottoms a few times when full, so it better settles, level the tops and clean around the borders, so you have a nice circle there. Put into preheated oven on 190C for 10-15 minutes. 12 minutes work for me. Take out, you can add caster sugar on top for decoration and serve still warm before it collapses

Souffle is usually a bane of Masterchef competitors, but it's rather easy, the most important thing is that the foam you put into form is very light and fluffy, if it's heavy it will never rise.

Enjoy! I did.

A korma isn't a real curry any more than The Clash are a real punk band.

Do you have a good recipe? Love aubergine curries but usually just make up my own recipe and would love to find a good one.

I use a Thai green curry recipe. I use aubergine when I fancy a vegetarian meal instead of chicken or pork.

Veggie sausage open sandwiches. Cherry tomatoes halved and thrown into a pan with oil, Cauldron sausages (other brands are available but these are spicy) split and halved go in next, plus some chilli/onion seeds if you want. Then toast some really nice granary bread (the Waitrose multiseed is superb and lasts), open a jar of aivar (a roasted red pepper spread/dip with garlic), spread it on the toast, load contents of pan on top. Stick something green and leafy on it if you must. Eat.

It's a brilliant breakfast.
