Recipes, home grown goodness, BBQing and food stuff
-
This important thread has slipped to page two so I will bump it up.
Made some Teurgoule yesterday as I saw some good whole milk (Silver top in a bottle) going cheap at the supermarket.
You might think this is just rice pudding, but the difference is the long slow cook (5 hours) and high milk to rice ratio.
Was served some at a B&B in Normandy and have been thinking of making it for a while.
Pure comfort food.
Teurgoule: the queen of rice puddings
The ultimate in comfort foods is good old fashioned rice pudding and Normandy’s Teurgoule is no exception. I first came across this yummy local dessert when I moved here to Normandy some twenty yea…

It's nice when fresh and hot but like pavlova, even better cold for brekkie.

Tough day on the rower today. Really suffered, probably a reaction to having to do some work. Quick haul up the hill with the family shortly, and then into some nice hazy IPA for the evening.
Dinner is a learning experience for my boys; how to light a charcoal bbq and then cook steak. Important life skill.
Any tips? My hit rate for successfully lighting one is around 30%, if that.

Generic stuff you get in the supermarkets over here. All sustainably sourced apparently, which is not something I thought possible for charcoal.

I mean what kind of bbq device? Generally in my experience u need to allow plenty of air through and under the coal to make it go. For example I sometimes build a tower of kindling and pile the coal on top. Goes up like a bomb

@canefan Oh. Something I paid 19.95 GBP for from ASDA.
The coal does sit on a grate though so air can get underneath.
Look, it's a piece of shit - you know it, I know it. But surely I should still be able to light the bastard...

@MajorRage see, this is what scares me off this thread. Hiding behind a "piece of shit" when I can clearly see it says "expert".
The inverse of the Fern.
The comments are full of pieces of shit where the author thinks they are an expert.

You could try one of these. Piece of cake then.

Lots of kindling underneath, fire lighters because they burn longer than fluid, coal then fluid on top. Lots of fanning if it looks like it's fading. Can't go wrong

Chuck a lot of everything and fan the shit out of it ... ?
It seems the secret to it is not something that could be described as surprising.
