Re: Teatime Choices
 

Some years ago I used to buy what I believe was called a green pepper sauce. Maille produced it (but there is absolutely no sign of it on their website) and it's not a mustard nor one of those splash style ones. Sainsburys also did a nice version.

Anyway, there's no sign of it here, among the Maille jars (although I did get one in Montreal about 10 years ago) and 'Caretaker' suggested I mix Salsa Verde with Mayo. It does the trick.

I just googled and Maille may now be producing a jar of pepper sauce that might be good, so I'll investigate further.

In the meantime, mayo/salsa verde mixed - I did about 50/50 - on potato is fantastic.
Try mixing a teaspoon of each and adding to some spud. Baked, boiled, mashed.

To make the seafood sauce/fake tartar, mix 2 parts mayo (or the similar salad dressing if you don't want all that fat) to 1 part or less sweet green relish (but feel free to try any relish), and add a squeeze of lemon or lime. That's what I put on my oysters. :lol:

Made a batch of peach salsa with ingredients I brought from the Okanagan then made samosas to put it on.

On Friday night my footie team had a game. It was one of the scottish guys on the teams turn to bring the post game beer. He brought a selection of beers including the McEwans that you posted. At 8% ABV it wasn't too popular with the light beer drinkers. Needless to say I was able to bring some home as he wanted an empty chillbox/cooler at the end of the night.

Not as good as a Mad Tom IPA

Not a professional team I take it? :rofl::rofl:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Absolutely not. Too much lager in the selection for my liking.

My Salmon Alfredo cheat.

Doesn't have to be expensive fish. Even cheap breaded stuff works well.
Classico sauces and those from Sobeys/Loblaws all work well. There's even a very nice Walmart one.

I do find the sauce a bit strong so I add cream of mushroom soup to the fish, onion, mushroom, sauce mix right near the end.

It's really very nice. Works with ham instead of fish too.

Now having some lovely Stilton with crackers. :thumbsup:
