What is your favourite homemade culinary masterpiece?

[Insanity_rules]

Mrs Insanity god love her is jobless at the moment so is spending a bit more time at home. I dragged my sorry work weary backside through the door tonight and what do I find on the table to greet me? Try Bolognese shepherds pie topped with 3 kinds of cheese! Words cannot describe how good it was, I almost wept! I now have a new favourite meal.

Talk about brownie points, I might just have to start closing the toilet door or give up dutch ovens or even heaven forbid think twice about bearing my buttocks at parties.

So what is your favourite home made meal?

[SMOKEU]

Can't go wrong with a few dots rolled up next to the stove, and cook them on some knives...

[Gremlin]

hmmm hard to think of one favourite...

shepherds pie is good, lasagne, spaghetti, mmm most kinds of meat probably. Some would understand the word bobotie, thats always a treat.

Then you got the desserts, tipsy tart, fridge tart, trifle, cheesecakes, carrot cake, chocolate cake (plus mud cakes of course)

Did I mention I have a sweet tooth

[Urano]

Gnocchi tirolesi con pancetta e fontina...

Explain Bolognese Shepherds Pie?
I remember Shepherds Pie from my younger days, very yum and it was a cheap family meal.

Where as, Spag Bol on its own to me is a cop-out of a meal, I know people rav about but it is at best, a student get by.

My favourite Home meal would have to be....
Lamb roast followed by Pavlova...

Mmmmm, roast lamb for tea. Best I ever tasted were fattened on my front lawn. I was starvin by the time i caught one.
I beg to differ on your opinion of spag bol, it sits squarely in the upper echelons of fame in our house.
Pork, beef & veal mince, roast capsicum, red onion, garlic, thyme, sage, red wine (lots) & tomates cooked for at least 4 hours. Lots of butter, parmesan, parsley & fresh basil tossed through the pasta. We have it on fat bastards night.

Coq au Vin...cooked by me. Served with creamed potatoes containing finely chopped onion and greens of your choice.

Now that sounds way better than the what I have ever been served up.
Its normaly cooked in about 30 mins and is just mince/onion/tomato paste and cold saghetti things underneath...that really is crap food.
Those that serve it up think they have made some exotic culinary delight.
Bolognese is a region in Italy and they eat spaghetti there, you might as well call it Spaghetti Reefton and be done with it.

So George, it is now up to you to convince me otherwise about this crap dish.
Your way sounds very ok....

Next time i make it I will freeze some for you. You can pick it up if your in my neck of the woods.
If you really want a knock out taste it has to be Pork belly cooked low & slow over Ti tree in a proper (no gas) bbq, occasionally brushed with a bit of OJ, brown sugar & sesame oil for the cracklin. I need a smiley for droolin. My preferred brand of BBQ is an Elf oil drum....

I recently bought a tajine. The results are getting better. I hope to preserve some lemons this season which will be a leap forward in authenticity. I'm not a slave to Moroccan recipes but I have been trying to cook things that are similar to what Moroccans might do.

It hasn't been used for three weeks; maybe Tuesday?

pies pies pies ...............pies.

Oh, you have fat bastards nights too? Theirs never enough skin on a pig in my opinion, should breed them with a layer on the inside too.

I hate the way good pork is wrecked by being bred too lean, give me the locally grown stuff every time. Pork crackling
