Veal, I know it's wrong, but since being over here I'm loving baby cows.

Nothing wrong with that. Delicious

Wow, what's wrong with oven chips in the U.K. I wonder, maybe it's me, wife and kids.

Yeah, we're a bit special, but chips ?

Not sure on the dislike to oven chips here ? , If you are eating mccains or carp American fries type ones I cant blame you.

We once got these substituted for McCains in a tesco order and have never went back they are a lot more fluffy thicker cut like proper chips always cook well so worth a shot.

What if we bring oil !?

You’ve obviously never been on a ship with a Filipino cook who made scrambled eggs in a deep fat fryer.

There is no vomit emoji, unfortunately

It’s a simple recipe….

Beat eggs
Get oil vat hot as f’k
Stir oil hard to create a whirlpool
Tip eggs into vortex
After a couple of ‘laps’ they’re done
Fish out, mash about with fork and serve hoping no one notices.

Much quicker method apparently. Still taste vile.

I did the chips last night - kids pulled a face but I thought they were ok….

Should have used R40 if only for the aroma.

I've wanted to try doing those for a while, it's a lot of work for chips though.

I've been meaning to ask you, do you ever cook with mustard oil? I know it's used in some areas of India, mainly Bengal I think? I've been experimenting with it lately, thought it was bloody 'orrible at first but it's really grown on me now.

I saw that in a few recipes and looked it up seemed to be banned as a food in the UK

The best oven chips I've ever had are Lidl triple-cooked beef dripping ones, they are truly fantastic.

Don't forget that R40 is a vegetable oil not a mineral oil so perhaps you could cook with it . Or not.
