smash?

[tamborine]

Would you admit to using it? Serve 'braised' by shaping & burning by butane gas cylinder, then drizzle over butter.

[ummmm]

I haven't had smash since I was pregnant with my daughter 18 years ago. I puked it up so much I wouldn't dare try it now...

Smash has got to be the most un - potato tasting potato hasn't it tambo? ;0)

[NoMercy]

I wouldn't use that slop if my life depended on it... btw... it's paella today guys - who's coming over? :-)

[Sachs]

& wine?

[tamborine]

not once its loaded with butter & pepper, Sachs.....no lumps either! It's used in most restaurants & hotels.

used it once to make corned beef hash (about 20 odd years ago) never again!!!!

What time would be suitable NoM?
Did you manage to buy a charger or shall I bring one along with a bottle of plonk?

[Sachs]

No, not for me tambo. I do use the frozen potato pellets though, they are a very good substitute! x

Hey guys... got some fab bargains on booze. Tony has discovered Aldi in the eight weeks I was back in England and he's like a dog with 2 d*cks. He bought some champagne for £9.99... Louis Durande or something, we tried it the other night and it was really lovely, so we went back and got several bottles. We also got Freixnet Cava from Carrefour... 2 bottles for £9.95 (One Rose, one gold label). So, if you fancy getting blasted, I've plenty in the fridge !!

[tamborine]

mmmm paella NoM - fancy some of that, so long as the shell foods are de-shelled. Wot fish are you using?

[Sachs]

Round shortly :0) x

[NoMercy]

Sorry Alba, yes I did get a charger from a new shop called Urende. They were very helpful actually, since I didn't have a scobby what I was looking for... lol

[NoMercy]

*scooby*

[albaqwerty]

Glad you're sorted NoM. :D

Are you sure you're enough Vino, you know us by now, we can drink the Med dry lol

[NoMercy]

Yes, I always do Paella del Senyoret which is shelled seafood. I'll just be using salmon and prawns, since I can't be bothered with anything too fenickity today. I've plenty of booze in, but you can never have to much, eh? :-0

[tamborine]

how about a recipe NoM.....I've never cooked paella, so make it simple/cheap, ta ;)

[NoMercy]

Tbh, Tambo, I do cheat a little. I buy a paella kit from Carrfour which comprises the caldo (stock) and arroz bomba (bomba rice) for about eu3.65. I fry some garlic and finely-chopped red pepper and then add the rice and fry for a couple of minutes. Then add the nearly boilding stock, plus the same quantity again in water and let it cook into the rice. I add the fish about five minutes before the end of cooking time.
