[John Boy Saint]

Dead simple gets the thumbs up every time:

 

Pre heat the oven to 190c

4 Skinless Chicken Breasts

1 x Can Campbell's Condensed Cream of Celery Soup (you won't know when its done)

1 x Can Campbell's Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup

Empty both cans into a bowl and stir

Fill one empty can with White Wine and add to the soup in the bowl

Fill one empty can with grated 5 strength cheddar cheese and add to the Soup and wine in the bowl.

Stir it all together.

Pour a little of the mixture into an oven proof dish then add the chicken breasts, then pour the rest of the mixture over them.

Place in the oven for 1 1/2Hours.

 

While its cooking peel some spuds cut them up into cubes and nuke them in the microwave in a roasting bag for 10 minutes. While the spuds are cooking quarter and slice a red onion and slice a few garlic cloves, soften them in a frying pan with the help of a little olive oil. chop up some bacon and add to the onions. When the spuds are done add them to the Onions, Garlic & bacon sautee for a while then bung them in a roasting tin in the bottom of the oven.

 

Try the chicken without telling anyone what you are cooking and see the reaction, if you have friends who are food snobs test it on them then reveal the recipe.

Another one of your stupid, sweeping , generalisations.

[Mole]

My speciality is fillet steak and homemade chips.

 

Cut some king edwards into really chunky chips, par boil for about 5 mins (not too long as king edwards cook quickly), drain and dab with some kitchen roll to remove all moisture. Deep fry for about 5 mins then lift out for a minute, drop them back into the fat til they're golden.

 

Get a nice chunky 2 inch thick bit of fillet steak, sear it in a hot frying pan of butter and serve blue.

[Dog]

Get a Jacobs cream cracker, slice a piece of cheese, put the cheese on the cracker, grab a cider from the fridge.

Serve instantly !

[Baj]

Just inspect each one closely for hidden flick knives or knuckle dusters.

fish finger sandwich

 

 

That's not a recipe You have simply posted the name of a meal.

 

For example, if I were to post the words "Cottage Pie", I have not told anyone the recipe, just the name. By saying "Fishfinger sandwich" you have not explained how it is made (ie the recipe). Some people on here may think that you have to defecate on a piece of cod and put it in a doughnut.

 

Please sort yourself out.

 

And while I am at it, fishfinger is ONE word, not two as you would have it.

[chocco boxo]

Apologies Wiltshire Saint.

Instructions

1Cook the fish fingers according to the packet instructions. Lightly toast the bread. Spread the Tartare sauce on one slice of the bread, top with the salad leaves & fish fingers. Spoon over the salsa and finish with the final slice of bread. Slice to serve.

[Seany S]

I cook a mean jerk chicken, using the following ingredients. Christ knows for amounts and stuff, just approximate every time and it comes out tasting irie.

 

This recipe is to cover about 2-3 large packs of chicken thighs - on or off the bone - I normally only cook this when I am having a load of people over!

 

Right.....

 

Fresh thyme

fresh coriander

2 sticks celery

1 red bell pepper

4 large tomatoes

bunch spring onions

5-6 shallots

3 garlic cloves

2 whole scotch bonnet chillies (add more to make it hotter)

10 pimento seeds crushed in mortar & pestle thing

cinnamon

nutmeg

dash smoked tabasco

500g bottle heinz ketchup

half pint full fat coca cola

fresh ginger (about a 1 1/2 inch cube)

glug white wine vinegar

sea salt

black pepper

 

Throw all of this into a blender and blend until smooth. Score the chicken thighs and then marinade them in the sauce, preferably overnight in a refridgerator.

 

Cook the chicken slowly in the over or on the barbecue. You should be aiming for the chicken to appear black on the surface - don't worry this isn't because it is burnt, it is just the way the marinade will discolour when cooked properly.

 

Serve with rice and peas, or with some salad, flatbreads, something like that. Make sure there is plenty of jerk sauce on the side for dipping - Grace doa particularly good one and you will find it in mosdt international shops that sell west indian groceries.

 

Enjoy!!!

Anything that includes garlic should be avoided unless you want to stink of the stuff.

Actually, he's right, you're wrong.

 

Let me set you straight.

 

Firstly, before I start by simply stating that I am right and you/choco are wrong (as you have done) I think you should take note of my credentials:

 

1. My father worked as a fishmonger. Although very anti fishfinger, he did acknowledge that the two words should be put together.

 

And now, the evidence that you are wrong (and don't be ashamed, it can happen, even to someone as great as you)

 

2. Originally, when marketed, Birds Eye spelt fishfinger as one word on their packaging. It is only a recent move to make them two words and that is only done dut to product design. I am sticking to the original wording.

 

3. Fishfingers are still called fishfingers (one word) in many parts of the world (for example in Oceania)

 

4. The Oxford English Dictionary has an entry for "fishfinger".

Has anybody tried the Fish Fingers recipe..........Wiltshire Saint ;-)

[Guest Dark Sotonic Mills]

Southampton was the first place to sell fish fingers in the 1940s.

 

How about the American term - Fish Sticks or Fishsticks?

[Barfy]

Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic:

 

Medium sized chicken

40 medium/large cloves of garlic (Do not remove skins)

1/2 pint of olive oil (extra virgin if possible)

Herbs (Thyme, Rosemary, Bay etc)

 

For best results, use a casserole pot that can go on the hob as well as the oven (e.g. Le Creuset).

 

Brown the chicken on all sides using some of the oil.

remove chicken & de-glaze pot using wine (white), water or stock.

Replace chicken in pot and add garlic and the rest of the oil. Add the herbs and season well with salt & pepper.

seal the pot well and put in a preheated (ca. 180C) oven for an hour and a half (or enough time for the chicken to cook...). Do not open the pot until cooked!

 

Garlic cloves should be soft and can be squeezed from their skins to eat. Can be served with roast/mash potatoes, but also with nice crusty bread.

 

Keep the leftover oil as it can be used for other recipes.
