Grandad goes Hungary

Grandad February 10th, 2008

I decided to cook last night.

I have a varied selection of interesting recipes, but none of them are written down and all rely on instinct so I can’t pass them on to The Humble Housewife or Our Grannies Recipes.

I thought I would go for my version of Hungarian Goulash.

I nipped down to the village for some ingredients, but, damnit, do you think I could find any Hungarians anywhere?

No.

There were Poles, Estonians, Bulgarians, Chinese and a clatter of Americans.

And an Italian.

We had my version of Spaghetti Bolognaise instead.

    You seriously want me to give you the secrets of one of my road-kill recipes??

    Give us your best shot at your mum’s Boston Baked Beans!

    Or your Dogfood pie, that’s always nice in emergency situations.

    Grandad – why go Hungary when you could’ve impressed them with a Grannymar special?

    I can vouch for her Broccoli and Almond soup – simply delicious!

    Tune in tomorrow (Monday) for her next recipe.

    K8 – Strange you should mention Baked Beans…. Just found the recipe!

    Steph – Nothing can beat my Bolognaise [except maybe my curries, or my roasts, or my chicken and brocolli...] ;)

    Grandad hurry up with the Baked Beans I’m stareving.

    Steph whist or Grandad will sell my soup recipe to Cully & Co! ;)

    Grannymar – I said I just found the recipe. I didn’t say I was cooking it. You’ll have to open a tin. [Quite good on toast?]

    It’s one of those ones where haricot beans have to be left steeping for years in advance, so I wouldn’t advise a wait.

    I’m vegetarian, myself.

    The local population of physically disabled people is dwindling at an alarming rate.

    of course, that might be a bit /too/ out-there…

    Naaah!
