If you're a morning savoury person like me, a Scotch egg is a perfect food. The U.K. dish consists of a boiled egg that’s been peeled, covered in breakfast sausage, then breaded and deep-fried. It’s the perfect high-protein breakfast or snack. A Scotch egg has a nourishing, savory interior with a surprisingly crisp and airy exterior. It seems like it would be heavy, but it’s actually very light on the palate. It can be eaten warm, room temperature, or cold, making it a perfect on-the-go snack or picnic food. It is also a very popular pub snack with pickles and mustard.

WHY ARE THE WINE BOTTLES 750 ml?

Wine bottles are usually 750ml (75cl) and not a litre (1,000ml), but where does this specification come from?
The capacity of a bottle of wine normalized in the 19th century and the craziest explanations for this fact emerged, which often corresponded to these hypotheses:
- The lung capacity of a glass;
- Average consumption in a meal;
- The best ability to store wine;
- Ease of transport
Well, it's none of that
In reality it is simply a practical organization with a historical basis: At the time, the main customers of French winemakers were the British.
The British unit of volume was the "imperial gallon" equivalent to 4.54609 litres.
To simplify the conversion accounts, they transported Bordeaux wine in 225-litre barrels, i.e. exactly 50 gallons, corresponding to 300 750ml bottles. (75 centilitres).
Since it was easier to calculate, they adopted a barrel = 50 gallons = 300 bottles.
In this way one gallon corresponded to 6 bottles.
Actually, this is why even today wine boxes often have 6 or 12 bottles.

I read about other theories but I must say I really liked this one
…nice to research on wine and food

My own personal favorite meal of all time.
I first tasted Paneer Korma at Tranna restaurant in Pretoria. It must be 16 years ago and I've been back there often. I've been making it ever since and must say with practice come perfection. The sauce plays a major role as part of the meal as its thick from ground cashew nuts and cream.
I'm making a batch again today, and it's divine. Limited quantities available. ☎️0842585618.
Serve with rice, roti, & sambal.
I make a Coriander chili chutney which makes a wonderful addition to the Korma, adding extra heat and flavor, and it's highly recommended to serve with the Korma. R130 for a generous 500ml container or R100 for the 350ml container.

Hungarian Goulash, Bobotie, Chicken à la King. Moussaka and BUTTER CURRY CHICKEN.

18/01/2023

Extract from The daring gourmet.
"Traditional Hungarian goulash is a prime example of how a few simple ingredients, cooked properly, can yield an incredible flavor. Though many variations of Hungarian goulash exist, and every cook makes it just a bit differently, this is an authentic recipe from the heart of Hungary.

Hungary holds a special place in my heart and in my family’s hearts. My brother lived there for 2 years as a young man, regularly wrote home to us about his experiences there, the beautiful scenery and architecture, and his love for the Hungarian people. When I visited Budapest I immediately fell in love with it. Its name comes from the two sides of the city (Buda and Pest) separated by the Danube River running through it. With its striking chain bridge, stunning parliament building, and its incredible Buda Castle, Budapest is a breathtaking city.A thoroughly authentic Hungarian Goulash recipe with a depth and richness of flavor that will satisfy both body and soul and transport you back to Hungary! Hungary’s national dish, the depth and richness of this traditional gulyás is simply out-of-this-world delicious!Hungary’s history has been one of hardship and heartbreak. But the passion and stamina of soul has remained in the hearts of the Hungarian people.

I’ve always been touched by Hungary’s national anthem, Himnusz, or “hymn”, written by the poet Kölcsey. Their anthem is a poetic prayer and unlike most anthems that focus on an expression of national pride, the Hungarian anthem is a direct, heartfelt plea to God. In the mid-20th century, during the years of strongest communist rule in Hungary, the words were not sung, only the music was played. The communist government asked two of the most acclaimed artists of that time, a poet and composer, to rewrite the national anthem. Both refused. The next communist leader also tried, unsuccessfully, to have it changed.

I also love Hungarian food. Their breads and smoked sausages are fantastic as are their meats, stews, sauces, and desserts. Today I’m going to share the national dish of Hungary: Goulash."

My mother baked Anise Rusks regularly. We each had one with coffee first thing in the morning in bed (served by my father) and then about five pm with tea when he got home from work. I still see my mom kneading the dough in a large enameled dish on the kitchen table. The dough rested overnight covered by a sheet and purposed blanket. Early the next morning my mom rolled balls of the dough which went into loaf tins for the second proofing. Then into the oven. When we got back from school you could smell it from the garden gate, and we would eat some mosbolletjies (the rusks separated after baking and like very soft bread.) The broken apart fresh rusks were placed on oven racks and left to dry for hours in a slightly ajar oven. We loved it.

Having four growing children and a house to pay made my father a hard working and rather frugal man. Those years there were at least two inches of thick yellow cream in a milk bottle. My father diligently syphoned the cream off daily and saved it. My Oom Gert, my mother's eldest brother farmed among others with strawberries. The family, grandparents and all the uncles lived near each other and so we visited nearly every Sunday. Of course the highlight of the week was getting home and eating those freshly picked strawberries with cream. We could never otherwise afford such a luxury. 😪😘

Sunday evenings we had a light meal, after all, we had a hearty lunch with desert, and cake at teatime!
My father often made a Pawpaw fruit salad. This means there was mainly pawpaw in it, with some banana, apple, grenadilla pulp and oranges with orange juice. It was the best! We often ate it with white bread, I kid you not, those juices with the bread was just the best. Years later I learnt of summer pudding, made with bread and fruit in a mould. Delicious 😋

My father had to make the carrot salad for Sunday lunch. None of this fancy modern large grated carrots, but on the finest side of the box grater, Moroccan style. And we were six people, so quite a job. Then he peeled and cut up some oranges, taking care to let all the juices fall into the salad bowl. It was so good 😘 You could press your tongue against your palate and the carrot and orange juice would just run down your throat.

When I think of my childhood and fruit, it is my father who comes to mind. We sometimes bought prickly pears along farm roads or picked them in the veld. When we got home my father rubbed them clean with newspaper. He then carefully peeled them using a fork and his very sharp pocket knife. An enameled dish full would go in the fridge to be eaten the next evening when he returned from work. There is nothing like icy cold prickly pears on a hot summer evening.
