Mad Cook
Master Chef
Going back to the "What wouldn't you like to see on your plate" thread, the above has become very popular on the dinner party circuit over here courtesy of Nigella Lawson who's included it in a couple of her books.
I find it interesting that people rave about how fabulous it is but rarely seem to serve it more than once. I wonder if this is significant? "Emperor's New Clothes" ie "we're having it because it's fashionable and we want to look on trend but we don't like it much"?
Is this a dish you have much in America and what is it really like?
Incidentally, we once took a holiday house for a month and the loo was disgusting. The shops were closed and there were no cleaning materials available. We were at a loss until someone remembered reading that coca cola was a good cleaning agent. Someone else pulled a big bottle of the stuff out of her bag and poured it round the toilet bowl and left it to stand while we unpacked and went out for fish and chips and a pint or two.
When we came back we flushed and, lo and behold, a sparkling spotless loo! Hate to think what it does to your insides to say nothing of your teeth.
