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.

Liked it.
Nominate it.

    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...] ;)

    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!
