    this is early 90s so give me a little latitude.

    Prawn cocktail or French onion soup to start. Chicken Kiev as the other option. Trifle or Tiramisu to finish.

    I'm taking the piss obviously, but that all sounds quite good. What is wrong with some dated classics?

    I might have a retro week cooking wise.

    That's more 80's. Unless you weren't keeping up with trends 😉

    @crucial Yes it was, but I was in NZ and we were a decade behind.

    Maybe in some places.

    Here are some dishes off my menu in the early 90s (and this was in provincial Waikato)

    Home smoked salmon on caramelised pumpkin rosti with lemon creme fraiche
    Fresh baked Ciabatta
    Zucchini 'Fritto' with kikorangi dipping sauce
    Sage Polenta with wild field musroom
    Corn fed Chicken braised in lemon, tarragon and olives
    Lamb Loin on honeyed kumara mousse with rustic tomato sauce (Lamb Cuisine Award for that one)
    Oxtail with Gremolata
    Cranachan Ice Cream (had that custom made from our recipe by Kapiti)

    Biggest seller was Scotch fillet with bearnaise though, I will admit.

    @crucial You might need to share a few of those.

    Definitely the lamb. No surprise that won an award. That really sounds great.

    Prawn cocktail

    Used to have those throw back classics in Lutter & Wegner in Berlin. Great stuff.

    @tim We have a bit of a tradition at Christmas with prawn cocktails. Home made everything. Once a year is enough though.

    @tim yeah I saw one he did on scrambled eggs

    Whisk 2 eggs like fuck medium low heat an amount of butter that will make cardiac surgeons very busy stir constantly for about 7 minutes add some creme fraiche and chives another minute. Serve

    Bloody good and amazingly- a clean saucepan

    Gault’s a good bugger the couple of times I’ve met him. Happy to chat. In fact all the Kiwi ‘celebrity chefs’ are pretty down to earth and approachable

    Hey guys, are we still doing that thing where we post photos and recipes of awesome feeds we created and accompanying delicious beverages?

    If so, check me out:

    Awesome Feed.jpg

    Yeah, that's right, it's a bowl of fucking vegetables and a can of kombucha. For those interested, here's the recipe:

    1. Bowl of fucking vegetables
    • cut up some veggies
    • stick them in the frypan
    • add garlic, soy, chilli
    • cook for a few minutes
    1. Kombucha
    • put on your best dress and go to the shops
    • buy a can and bring it home

    And there you have it. A fine meal for a fat muppet, guaranteed to leave you hungry and thirsty immediately afterwards. Don't say I never give you guys anything.

    I love kombucha and I tolerate veggies.

    That was a 6 minute video that really should have been one minute. Looks nice enough though
