trophyshy 6434 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I do admire the slimmer's logic though. "It's only half the calories, so you can have twice as much!" Who's that hottie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohhh_yeah 2767 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Buns and cheese smoked with bamboo charcoal and the sauce is made of squid ink. With the extras it still looks abysmal. If I was drunk I do not think I could even finish a bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 In honour of the departed tubster from Boldon. Made this dry rub pulled pork yesterday, was in the oven for 5 hours and turned out absolutely amazing. Having the leftovers in a wrap for my lunch today.

Meenzer 14055 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Improbable but successful side dish tonight, new potatoes and sautéed leeks in a dressing of Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, gherkins and tarragon, topped with crumbled feta cheese. Sounds like a right old mishmash of random flavours but it was dead nice. Though that might just have been in contrast to the, erm, slightly potent smoked mackerel that it accompanied.

Alex 30428 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Not cooking exactly but food-related. There's a really nice pizza place that opened recently at Four Lane Ends. It's really just a takeawy place, although there's a few small seats to eat inside. It sells it by the slice or does 12" ones to take away. Does nice coffee too. The bloke was preparing the dough fresh when I was in and they're actually Italian, believe it or not. Either that or the bloke and the wife who run are engaging in an elaborate ruse. It's next door to the Sunlight Dry Cleaners for those in the vicinity. Don't think they have a website or owt. It's about £5 for a Margherita and £7-ish for the other ones. I fucking love pizza so I got quite excited when I found out it was nice As most places flog greasy shit in the Newcastle area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I noticed that place for the first time recently. I'll probably give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30428 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Just thought I'd champion it as I'd much rather see a small family business like that as opposed to another shitty Subway or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I can come round any time. It sounds strange but to actually make them like they do over there you actually use a cast iron pan to fry the base in, then after a couple of minutes put your sauce and toppings on then finish under the grill. It's something to do with how our conventional ovens obviously can't generate the required heat like the wood fired ones, so the closest thing to replicate that heat is to fry them first on a cast iron dish. That way the base is nice and crispy (neeeee soggy bottoms) but still stays nice and fluffy on the inside. Gawd I'm boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of doing them in the frying pan before as it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34503 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 I made a Jamie Oliver pizza recipe once which had you cooking the base in a frying pan and finishing under the grill. Was decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34503 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'll also have a look at this pizza place Alex. If I was a superhero (which I'm not, no matter what you all think), pizza would be my kryptonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Couldn't believe how animated you lot got over pizza when we went for that meal the other week Guess we'll have to find another little Italian restaurant for the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
