Buy the Shin of your Teeth Buy the Shin of your Teeth By Foodborn and Bred 05/23/13 19:22 Let's start with a disclaimer - this is not normally a scrimping scroogelista blog but: every now and again I surprise myself with a discovery, so why not pass it on? The first was that it was sooo much cheaper to buy a whole chicken and bone it out yourself....
Dipping is Dangerous Dipping is Dangerous By Foodborn and Bred 05/19/13 15:37 So apparently the EU is planning on banning olive oil served in jugs or bowls. Instead we will only be "allowed" sample factory bottled and aseptically sealed oil from an industrial production process. This is presumably in case a rogue dirty finger is...
Diet me Arse Diet me Arse By Foodborn and Bred 05/11/13 14:10 As I write this post there is yet another "diet" being talked about on the radio. This time it's the Alkaline Diet. To be honest I switched off as soon as the dietician started describing it. I always remember when studying nutrition as part of my food...
Tipperary North Riding Tipperary North Riding By Foodborn and Bred 05/03/13 13:28 We all pondered the meaning of "North Riding" while driving into Nenagh on a lovely sunny Saturday morning. It is used in Yorkshire in England as well and we spent a good few minutes trying to guess the origin of it. I only remembered to look it up now...
So you Want to be a Chef So you Want to be a Chef By Foodborn and Bred 04/24/13 17:53 Every now and again I've been known to have an old rant on here. This is one of those times. So bear with me or head for the hills now. There are so many food/cooking programmes on television every evening and most make chef jobs seem so glamorous and desirable....
Coffee Post Coffee Post By Foodborn and Bred 04/22/13 14:38 Instant coffee gave me stomach cramps and years ago I stopped drinking it. This was long before "proper" coffee became readily available in restaurants and cafes. Recently I heard Conor Pope being interviewed on Newstalk about instant coffees. He commented...
Save Money - Ditch the Breasts Save Money - Ditch the Breasts By Foodborn and Bred 04/16/13 18:31 Buying individual chicken breasts is very expensive and there is a much cheaper/easier alternative if you invest in a good knife. A large free range chicken in Aldi costs €5.99. A boning knife should cost in or around €25. To begin remove the chicken from...
Bowled Over Bowled Over By Foodborn and Bred 04/08/13 18:30 My new pink bowl with it's ancestors Flicking through the Aldi magazine recently in the Saturday Independent I discovered they were having a bakeware sale. I always had a hankering for a bowl similar to one my mother and grandmother used when I was a child...
White Cake - almost had me Djangoed White Cake - almost had me Djangoed By Foodborn and Bred 03/24/13 18:52 I watched Django recently; the bit I think I enjoyed the most was the southern feast prepared on it and particularly the southern accents. There was a shot at the end of the meal of White Cake and it looked really impressive. Four layers of almost white...
Baked in the Sticks Baked in the Sticks By Foodborn and Bred 03/18/13 15:10 Living in the sticks as I do, you need to be able to bake your own bread. Unless of course you don't mind what's on offer from the local supermarkets. The nearest "bakery" and I use that term loosely is 17 miles away. Apart from this there are a couple...
Memories of St. Patrick's Day Memories of St. Patrick's Day By Foodborn and Bred 03/13/13 13:21 It was always freezing cold. Watching the parade on the television while begging my parents to take me to the real thing. My father had an abhorrence of crowds and traffic jams and so never wanted to go and be part of the masses. Little green ribbons and...
Unseasonal Unseasonal By Foodborn and Bred 03/05/13 14:22 Raspberries freshly picked from my garden Part of my life in a previous existence was to buy industrial quantities of raspberries and strawberries. I can almost tell you to the month what continent they are imported from. When so many chefs, restaurants...
Welly Love Welly Love By Foodborn and Bred 02/15/13 14:41 Getting wet feet every day is no fun. My honourable old pair of Aigle wellies had cracked and perished from too much time in the (sun) light in the shed. Sun in brackets because we seem to have had constant rain for months now. Why did I not just go and...
Horse these Burgers into You (Homemade pork and beefburgers) Horse these Burgers into You (Homemade pork and beefburgers) By Foodborn and Bred 02/09/13 18:37 I don't know about anyone else but all the talk about burgers recently made me really want some. Not the ones in the news which, to put it mildly, are not anything like described on the tin. But my own recipe modified from one I saw Jamie Oliver do a while...
No Time No Time By Foodborn and Bred 02/05/13 14:40 There is a pot of vegetable soup simmering on my hob. Hardly remarkable, however, it took me less than ten minutes to prepare. So many people say they have no time to cook. It baffles me really. How long does it take to chop a few vegetables and throw in...
Brandy Butter Cookies Brandy Butter Cookies By Foodborn and Bred 12/31/12 13:47 Every year after Christmas I discover a tub of brandy butter lurking in the back of my fridge. And every year I end up throwing it out, as it has gone rancid. This year I left the bowl out to remind myself to think of something to do with it. Then on Twitter...
Bûche de Noël Bûche de Noël By Foodborn and Bred 12/16/12 17:42 Bûche de Noël is traditionally made in France for Christmas. When I managed a French artisan bakery it was Christophe's specialty and he used to make three flavours, chocolate, coffee and a white chocolate and raspberry. Hotels and restaurants loved to...
Her Shell Her Shell By Foodborn and Bred 12/02/12 13:27 The day came I was dreading and to be honest I didn't know if I could go through with it. Sausage the pig had reached weight far quicker than I had anticipated. The decision was made, the help organised, the abattoir arranged and the butcher lined up. This...
She Married one of the Rockybottoms She Married one of the Rockybottoms By Foodborn and Bred 11/26/12 17:53 My mother came from a large family in Castlebar Co. Mayo. When we were children we loved nothing better than when her and her siblings got together (mainly after funerals or weddings) and told stories about Castlebar in the past. All were blessed with a...
Ireland's Brighton Ireland's Brighton By Foodborn and Bred 11/13/12 20:28 Less than 13 miles from the centre of Dublin is Ireland's original seaside resort. Bray is a fine town straddling the Dublin Wicklow border. In 1854 the railway was built out as far as what had been up to this a sleepy market town and thus sparked a building...
