Mutton pies in Auckland

[Sully60]

Sure thing.

figured that he'd test ride an SV Thou' (boring as mud as they may be). So he rode the 1K and absolutely shit his pants, fuck they're fast. Decided the 650 was the much more sensible choice as it's alot slower and a bit more manageable for a tentative chap such as himself. And who's gonna know, they look the same.... don't they?

Or you're gay.

That's me to a tee!
Awww, shucks mate come ere

I can understand that but... when cooked properly - it takes a lot of beating! Roasted slowly, brown sugar on it, up on a cake rack so the fat drips off it.

Wait till it's el fall-aparto (like el dente but falls apart to the touch). Warm mutton between two fresh slices of white death, bit of mint sauce... (mint jelly's better... non soggy) farken beautiful!

Well that goes a long way to explain tonights dinner then.

Flaps was it?

That's beef curtains, Sully

[Sully60]

That's beef curtains, Sully

Oh now I get it, those are the ones you wipe it on when you have to leave in a hurry. Shit I always thought they meant the real curtains

Ah, the cuisine of poor people. A global constant.

Bits of animals that any sane person who could afford better wouldn't eat, covered with enough seasoning to mask the rancid flavour.

Fast forward a century or two, and those recipes always seem to turn into pop-culture delicacies, usually with a whole lot of self-identity constructed around their consumption.

Since I already have more self-identity than I know what to do with, however, I think I'll just stick to fillet steak as a protein source.

Can't get em. And to be honest, it annoys me almost as much a the "General Lee" thing.

We found a fish and chip shop in Botany mall that does them but the deep fry the fuckers from frozen, can you believe that?

Anyway, where in Auckland can you buy mutton pies?

Failing that, can scummy or Scorry or fatzx10r or one of you other cool Otago cunts buy a heap frozen and chuck 'em in a courier box with some ice packs to Dork'land?

PM your addy Trash and i will send up a dozen of the best,made in the South.

[McJim]

As Chickadee said - we can get some frozen ones and send 'em up in a polystyrene box. I have no idea why you wouldn't like the deep fried fookas though. Yum.

Protein sauce is supposed to good for the skin.

I'm tempted to ask where you get that from.

[jrandom]

I'm tempted to ask where you get that from.

It's probably homemade.

[Sully60]

It's probably homemade.

I figured, hence not giving in to temptation.

You're dead right, of course, but nothing makes me feel more `at home' than tripe & onions or a beef shin stew or black pudding. Maybe I am that desperate for identity!

In fact, entire region's cuisines can be tarred with that brush. Sichuan cooking (shit-all fresh food, all rubbishy mountain crap, so load it up with peppercorns and spices until it doesn't taste so bad); Indian cuisine (same thing -- old mangy mutton and goat meat spiced and boiled in a strong sauce)...

Cantonese, Japanese and New Zealand food is about as good as it gets -- lots of fresh food available, minimal fucking around, quality of the dish is judged mostly on the raw ingredients that went into it. A `blue' steak is never going to taste good unless the steak was good in the first place.

Still, tomorrow morning I'm having black pudding for breakfast
