I miss the Acorn banter of years gone by

Where do you buy american cured bacon... what's a good UK substitute, if there is one? Ta.

Any air cured (hung) bacon that quickly crisps without over- cooking

It's a mixture of textures and flavours, soft fried crisp (bread). crispy tainted bacon. soft contrasting egg, warm unassuming hollindaise - and of course your palette gets to enjoy it from both ends, in the same bite.

I do my poached eggs by making a little whirlpool to crack the egg into, I thought that was the norm! Will have to try out other methods.

 

[ratboy]

didn't you used to watch London's Burning?
name of the mess manager

little known fact:
London's Burning used to be filmed at my old fire station
in real life 'dockhead'
on tv 'blackwall'

all the watches used to do extra and stunt doubling for the actors and making up the gear

i used to double for georgialis , the guvnor when on fire engine
even though i was about 20 at time!

actors were ok
i will say glen murphy is a superb bloke though. very humble guy and very grateful for his lot
hard as nails too, although a very mild mannered bloke

Ha ace post.

So we have gone from boiled eggs, to London's Burning, to bacon, to birthdays, and back to poaching an egg...

Ive never poached an egg in my life and I dont think I ever will. I have a woman to do that.

It was only two weeks ago that I fried a slice of bacon for the first time ever. Quite a feat when you consider im 34

Get the thread doing that, you have to change the subject from the last post but has to be relevant to a point from the last post.

I'll carry on from last post.

I'm not keen on American food especially their chocolate. Hershey kisses taste like they have cheese in.

Hi Bailey,

Thanks for the tip re bacon. Do you have any handy tips for making hollandaise sauce too?

tia, Luke

If we're talking about food, this recipe makes GREAT lasagna - and (relatively) less calories than a more traditional recipe into the bargain...

I've probably made it 20x over the last few years, and it's come out perfectly every single time. Idiot-proof, in other words!

Sauce out of a jar? I'm disappointed! :cry:

I find Acorn a bit "quiet" these days, and feel there's nowhere you can really indulge in a bit of "banter". You aren't allowed to comment on sale threads which I suppose is for the best, so the only place you can perhaps discuss domains is in the appraisals section, but that gets pretty quiet too.

Where is Lee Owen thesedays then?! Still lurking or abroad somewhere?!

 

[stender]

To see you.

Ditto. you've just reminded me why.
I'm restricting myself to the sales and buying sections from now on!

He might be lurking around here this very minute - they do have the interweb in Romania - but he can't admit to being himself on Acorn or his lurking account will be closed down!

I don't know the actual words he used to Admin, but they must have made Gordon Ramsey sound like Mother Goose ...
