Welcome to the Jolly Boar Kitchen, Exilian's new home for food and drink discussion. This can include cooking, how to make different foods & drinks, how to mix drinks, alcohol recommendations, the sky (or at least that really high shelf you keep the saucepans on and can never reach) is the limit!
If you couldn't reach the shelf how would get the saucepans on them in the first place?
Magic.
Should we have an extra subforum for tutorials?
I think the correct term would be recipes. :P

Extra fragmentation doesn't really seem worth it, to be honest.
mmmmmmmmmmmm kebab
Mmmmmmm, duckling.
Mmmmmm k.
Mmmmmmm special K?
Mmmmmm cereal. I haven't had cereal in a long time. :(
I ate a whole box the other day. Was not very good cereal though.
Not planning on making it a serial experience?
Ba-dum *tish* :P
Would anyone be interested in me doing a cheeseboard tutorial?
Yes, although I generally can't afford cheese.
@Kebab
That was a cereausly bad pun. But this isn't because I don't think it actual counts as a valid pun.
Basically I almost never buy alcohol*. With the budget that a normal student would use for alcohol, I buy cheese :P
*Though I do have an unopened bottle of mead on my shelf at the moment.
Genius. Unfortunately I might not be able to buy either cheese or alcohol as well as my rent ;p . I should probably sit down and write up a reasonable budget to see whether or not such luxuries can be consumed. But I won't be paying for food at christmas so bring on all of the cheeses!
Cheese. :(
I just managed to snag two 250g bags of grated cheddar from Co-op for 65p each. Is that related?
Jammy bastard. Were they running out of date or is it a potentially widespread promotional deal upon which I could capitalise?
Sorry CG.
I would like a cheese board tutorial! (I thought it was a case of buy nice cheeses and crackers and grapes) but a tutorial sounds great :)

There was a whole stack of them going out of date. They came home with us and went into the freezer for use in lasagne. Nom.

Congratulations, you have passed the cheeseboard tutorial.
(There's a little more to it than that, but yes, that's pretty much it...)
Cheese. :(
Cheeeeeeeeeeeese :)
I like cheese but it makes me think of work. :(
A whole load of chilli cheese is going on some cheap pizzas as an experiment. Hopefully it'll be tasty. The rest is going with chilli and nachos tomorrow :D
Leftover chilli on pizza is so nice, it's one of my favourite lazy things to make. :)
So true. The experiment ended up a bit too greasy for my stomach but not bad for a first attempt!
My issue with chilli pizza is that the topping slides off so easily. :(
Haggis pizza.
The Haggis in waitrose is really greasy, it's probably given me a bad impression of the stuff, event the outside of the packet is greasy. :)
There are some bad haggises about. Go somewhere else and buy haggis.
Good haggis is incredible.
Good haggis is indeed excellent. :)
I don't buy the stuff, I date rotate it and chuck it out. My job is so exciting :P

I'm just jealous you can shop at Waitrose. We don't have a local one :(
I made weird rhubarby alcohol! Updates to come :)
Rhubarb meths!
Update: it's perfectly drinkable. Oddly bready flavour, probably because I used bread yeast not brewers' yeast :P
Welcome back to the kitchen, everyone! :)
I have decided to experiment with some historical recipes. I don't yet have the Baghdad cookery-book and I am limited by what the local supermarkets and greengrocers and butchers carry but I have worked through things like chicken in pomegranate sauce.
I'm wondering if we should have a pinned recipes index in the Kitchen - any thoughts? Also, what would we even index it by, just sort of categorising things or?
