Hot Spaghetti

As the nights draw in and cruel Mr Frost arrives with his icy talons, offing pensioners and making British Gas merry, the need for heat is now pretty much priority to us Brits. If you are a fan of hot sauce like my good self, you can get warm for free too (minus cost of sauce obviously), eliminating the need to walk around indoors in scarf and five jumpers. Win!! It works too! Regular readers of these blogs will know the kid of crazy heat these sauces throw out. Believe me, its quite comical reading how friends on Facebook are freezing their azzes off while I am sitting in a tee shirt, sweating buckets.

Cure for Veggies!

No words need really to be said. Go on veggies lick the screen! Then cease thy silly abstinence from meat and get thee to a butchers. Once there, order a few pounds of bacon rashers then get on home (after having bought a dozen eggs also). Turn on an oven hot plate and put a frying pan on top, with a dollop of oil/lard in it. When sufficiently hot enough, fy the bacon first, then the egg. By now your nostrils will assaulted by such an intoxicating smell, the smell of sizzling swine, that resistance will be futile and you will begin to realise what a fool you have been.
Once fried to perfection, put the bacon/eggs, that magical combination, inbetween two slices of buttered bread. Add brown sauce if it pleases you. A mug of tea is the preferred beverage to accompany this. Now eat! And you are now cured.

No Sun In The Oven

Beefless lasagna like the hippies cook

To prove that I am not totally hostile toward the veggies flaking out amongst us (joke! Lighten up!) I cooked a vegetarain lasagna with chips/fries. Or to be more accurate, Linda MacCartney made the lasagna and I chucked on a few chips to go with it. I am not the biggest fan of minced beef since eating tins of the stuff years ago during a drinking binge and getting violently sick from it. (Ok it was probably the alcohol but its easier to blame the food).
I really enjoy this meal. Yes it looks pale like it needs a week in the Mediterranean but it is a really tasty meal. And it never gets heavy, never stuffs you to the gills so if you are the type that enjoys a stroll after dinner (or better still a good mosh) then you won't be hindered by a lead stomach.

The Veggies Have Landed

Without the egg, this is safe for vegetarians

Ok readers of this blog should know by now that its author and Metal Chef is a carnivore. I LOVE meat and am fine if it clogs my arteries and puts fat on my ass. Hey everything has a price right? But occasionaly I do wander into the realm of vegetarians (dont worry, I dont stay too long), in order to mix things up a little.
More often than not its a pretty bland affair on offer but persist and you can find some great grub (food). The vegetarian sausages and burger were passable in the meal above, just be sure you have enough egg yolk, beans and sauces to give it an extra zing.
Suprisingly this was pretty filling and could really set you up for a night behind the ale pumps. Not sure its wise to make this platter too often however. You might find yourself joining Greenpeace and drinking nettle tea.
