Fish is normally caught using dynamite or hand grenades. Dynamite is better because the grenade fragments tend to tear the flesh.

Sea caught is really really good. The flesh is so toned.

Mackeral are great too. Fresh caught and onto the grill. The herring are rare now but sometimes you can get them. Roll them in oats and shallow fry.

well, my food has settled and this thread is just making me queesy.

Down off the Hook Head in Co Wexford, you can basically throw a hook into the sea and haul Mackerel out. Head 'em, tail 'em, gut 'em and deep fried for five minutes. With fresh bread and butter. Take that Mr Michelin.

it just looks like ham to me. if it's ham. why can't they just say HAM?

Because ham is something different. And don't get me started on those one inch wide strips of fat Americans call bacon.

When my wife boils a gammon and leaves it to cool, everyone passing picks bits off, then they come back and pick more, and more.

Gammon is Gammon, Come to Ireland sometime and try real food.

Bangers and Mash? I just sautee them in the frying pan or wrap 'em all up in tinfoil and grill the fuckers. Add onions, too.

 

[killallhippies]

Thank you, kindly. Some think it's a bit much but I'm fond of it. You're not that far from me. The weather is grand, and if not, wait until tomorrow. Or try the frying pan. Andouille is great.

Oh yess. We used to go for a drive and if we couldn't afford much we would collect driftwood, buy some potatoes, sausages and tinfoil. Then we would light a fire let it burn down, wrap the spuds and sausages in the foil and bake them in the embers. Sitting by the sea or in a wood eating baked spuds and sausages. Abso-fuckin-lutely brilliant.

I want to visit the States. How can somewhere so big be LAmE. There's always a party somewhere.

Car camping! I love car camping. We headed out to the Oregon coast one summer and some of the best memories I have revolve around campfires of tinfoil and mosquitoes, eating things out of cans and foil packets, walking in the fog, listening to the frogs at night.
