How much do you reckon you pay per loaf, G?.. I only eat organic sourdesem bread, but shit's epensive… If I  buy dinkel bread with nuts or fruit, it's not exceptional to pay 5-6/ bread... Usually pay around 3 though... But wondering how hard it is (for an eejit) to make your own bread...

[Giles]

It is seriously easy, but a little time consuming.

My organic white flour costs me the equivalent of €1.30 to make 2 large loaves.  I do not buy yeast as I made the starter, which is effectively a culture of naturally occurring yeasts.  You will need to feed the starter from time to time, so need to add a little wholemeal (in my case) flour, so a few cents there.

Other than that a little salt, some oil (optional), some rye flour for dusting and power…..

Organic, rennet free cheese with Gosport sourdough bread. You were right, G: it's even better lightly toasted!..

Not cooked by myself.  Hungarian goulash in Amsterdam.

Oh Fuck, this is my thread. A collection of tasties from the last year or so. If you girls like this maybe I'll post some real pics later.

[Giles]

Now that is what this thread is about.  Beautifully cooked food, well presented.  Thanks @Zentner

I'd love to know where you get the human head from….

[Seul]

You even make the meat look good… 

[Zentner]

@Giles The human head is an inside joke that I just assumed everyone would get. Has Game of Thrones not made its way to the UK yet?

Also… this is the size of that steak before cooking. I don't have real big hands but still...

[Giles]

GOT has made it here, but watching TV is so low down my list of "great things to do" that I did not see it when it was on TV.  We have a few series of GOT on DVD and I have watched some with Paula (when Dylan was here), but it's in one ear and out the other…...

Oh shit - now that you mention it!..

THE MOUNTAIN - FUCK YEAH!..
