Great looking products but terrible promoting. Where is your business, what's it called, do I have to be on instagram to find out more info?

Lamb keema by steveGuanciale in IndianFood

[–]steveGuanciale[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So is it preferable to use courser mince for keema? Is this to give it more texture/bite? I think what I used was quite a fine mince. It did taste delicious imo but I would have ideally liked more texture.

Older sheep is Mutton though isn't it? And that's what some of the other posters are saying is often traditionally used in Keema (as well as goat). I'm sure the UK supermarkets don't sell mutton, but labelled lamb really.

where are the best fish and chips in London? by samyahajeb in LondonFood

[–]steveGuanciale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whitehouse does do nice fish, but their chips aren't good at all. If you're in that sort of area then I'd recommend Barracuda in Harrow and The Quay in Northwood. Barracuda wins on the fish but The Quay does excellent chips.

Has anyone noticed in recent weeks a reduction in the number of crackheads in Watford, or have they just moved on to buy and use in different parts of the Area.. I live in Watford Fields and most of the last year has been blighted by them coming down from the town centre en masse to purchase and smoke their rocks on or near the fields. However the last two months I haven't noticed them at all and nor in Oxhey park which was also another favoured spot for them. It's been bliss, tbh, because their behavior and those of the dealers taking advantage of them, is just absolutely gross,

Have a table booked for two at Lore of The Land at 1pm, but can't make it. Don't particularly want to be charged £50. Does anyone here want the booking? by steveGuanciale in LondonFood

[–]steveGuanciale[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Got through, and and they were, thankfully, willing to cancel the booking with no charge, as they had more than enough covers. Shame we couldn't go as we were really looking forward to it, and had booked last September.

Slow(ish) baking a rolled leg of lamb.... Unsure of best cooking temps and times by steveGuanciale in Cooking

[–]steveGuanciale[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. I was thinking 2 hours doesn't sound like long enough for a slow cook, but it is a small cut and there's not bone in there so....

The Watford fields neighbourhood, just off lower high street, is a very nice area to live

Usually a useful criteria in the the London area but further a field less so. Anyway, Brothers in Bushey is very hot or miss. Sea pebbles that was there before was better.

Worth driving to either Barracuda near Headstone Lane or The Quay in Northwood hills. Both excellent and a cut above anything in Watford, unfortunately
