RoadKill

Have you noticed how I changed the font colour to do a bit about this subject? Red and roadkill seemed to go.

I love America but why is it they spell colour color? They do and say things different to us although we supposedly use the same language. 

Montana has just passed a law that citizens can collect their roadkill which could include deer, elk and moose and take it home to eat. (thank you Daily Telegraph)

How close do we come to roadkill in the UK? Perhaps we manage to avoid the mad dashing squirrel running across in front of us as we come out of the supermarket. But we are not likely to see any Elk on the side of the road

What would I do if I came across a moose lying dead in the road? Perhaps a neat 3 point turn in the road back to the supermarket to buy some frozen chicken.

Safe driving and waste not want not.

Being a chef actually pretty easy

Being a chef actually pretty easy

Click on the link above to read the article in the Daily Mash quoting Chef Tom Logan.

I just wanted to add some bits to what he has said. Don't you find that some Chefs act like rock stars? Have we ever seen Bono and Jamie Oliver in the same room together? Are they the same person?

Joking aside I couldn't take the pressure working in a commercial kitchen. In fact I get stressed just cooking these simple dishes and what is it about hacking an onion to bits that brings me to tears?

Check out the article brings Chefs back down to earth anyway 

Satay Pork with Crunch Apple Salad

When I cook things I try and get them to look good and taste lovely. Cannot say I always hit the mark which is why I try and add pictures of girls in little clothing to this site to distract from the food on offer. Well I haven't been able to do that ploy this time and the Satay Pork is definitely a let down in the looks department. But what famous cook said "looks is skin deep?" 

The saving grace with this meal was that it tasted better than it looked.

Anyway I forgot that other saving grace about this dish. It was easy to do and pork and apple is a bit like eggs and bacon. They go together so give it a try

Jerk Chicken at the Notting Hill Carnival

Seeing all these lovely girls dressed like this on a hot day in London just makes you hungry. Well it is a food site so I had to put in the bit about eating. It is well known that I enjoy street food and at a carnival with loud music there is nothing better that jerk chicken?

Sizzling Summer Cod followed by Cookie-dough Crumble by Nick Stein

I have read with the interest the various menus dish up on this site and I'm disappointed to find the absence of fish. OK you have your fish and chips but how about given this cod dish a try. All these vegetables with the cod all end up in one pan. Easy and a light dish that will impress.

 

Follow the fish with a mixed fruit crumble. I have topped this with chocolate cookie-dough. The melted chocolate. Its a favourite of Nigella's. Just mention chocolate and she is round. Anyway way give fish a go and not just out of a bag with chips.

Its not what you drink but how you drink it

Hate Cuisine enjoys food and drink but its not just about the eating and drinking its also how you go about it. The company, the chat and perhaps when it comes to drinking the glass you drink from that makes it an occasion to enjoy. So what about these glasses as a suggestion. Found some of them on the Toxel.com site. 

I was only moaning the other day about what has happened to the Beer Jug. Do you remember the days when you went to the Pub and was asked do you want your pint in a straight glass or a jug. Is it not "PC" to say this now or are jugs more expensive?

Anyway as another suggestion how about this home improvement. Wash and have a drink at the same time perhaps?

Hate Cuisine in Praise of Fast Food

Hate Cuisine has always been into fast food. Ever had a greasy burger standing in the cold just before going to watch a football game? What is it about eating food from a bit of grease proof paper or if you are lucky from a tray that we like.

Ok fast food has its haters but the pop art has thrived from it. Banksy and his anti McDonalds work springs to mind. So here at Hate Cuisine we are going to praise fast food and suggest you go out and get a burger with fries.
