Re: Roast tatties
I managed to completely ruin a bunch of canadians and native californians over in LA... full sunday lunch about once a month for nigh on 2 years... introduced them to
Roast Beef in lard
Roast Pork + crackling in lard
Roast Potatoes IN dripping & lard
Roast Sweet Potatoes IN dripping & lard cooked IN with the meat.
Yorshire Puddings using lard
Cheese Sauce from scratch (real cheddar)
REAL gravy (from dripping & veggie broth)
Boiled Potatoes with Mint sauce (fresh picked)
this is people who normally eat sparingly of such things as salad & healthy alternatives... coming to our place once a month to completely gorge themselves on what can only be called the most delicious death sentence ever served; english food.
we've moved away now and they crave it still, mentioning it every time we talk.

Re: Roast tatties
Agreed.
Oh dear. What have we become? A bunch of ex-pats sitting in on a saturday night, talking about the pros and cons of roast tatties on t'internet. Okay, I started this thread but I have just realised how much piss taking would go on if I ever told my mates back home what I do on a saturday night. I am sure they all imagine me lobbing dice about in Vegas, sticking 10 dollar bills down strippers knickers or dancing the night away in some club in Chicago. Not sitting here talking shite and playing old Madness songs on youtube 
They would never understand lol. That said - wouldn't have it any other way right now. Long love BE (even the tossers)

I can get them here at our local Polish butcher. They carry a large selection of German as well as Polish foods.
My aunt, when she visited from Germany, would take leftover mashed potatoes and mix it with chopped onion, egg, parsley and flour and fry it up crusty. Was so good.

Sorry to tell everyone but I will too

Re: Roast tatties
Have to agree though I would go further and say Brazilian (Portuguesish) food is fantastic.. chucascarria (Brazilian BBQ) is just amazing.. served with every side you can imagine. I never miss the opportunity for a biz trip to Brazil just so I can pig out on their amazing cuisine.

You do not enjoy going to Brazil because of the food, admit it mate, been there and seen those hot chicks with my own eyes. The eye candy on the male side is OUT OF THIS FREAKING WORLD too....
Where do you usually go? I was all over the northeast and the Amazon and found the food appalling - so much so, that I landed up eating nothing but biscuits I got at a supermarket during the day and grilled fish for dinner.

The food in the southern states is amazing.. cannot vouch for up north, I guess the further up you go the poorer it gets..

Re: Roast tatties
Whats all this roasting potatoes in a pot thing that you plug in and leave on the counter with the meat in business? They call them 'roast potatoes" here and they taste ****ing awful. Luckily I have educated Mrs. R into the art of real, proper, pukke, bona fide roast potato preperation and production.
My roast spuds are crispy golden on the outside and hot fluffy (like cotton wool) on the inside.
You've never had better.

Re: Roast tatties
parboil the bloody things ....toss them to roughen and allow to cool ...In a large tin sprinkle a light mixture of flour and salt ...toss in the cool spuds ....shake ..till the spuds are covered ...stick them in the oven next to the sizzling roast .....baste every 30 minutes ....its not rocket science ....sheesh 6 pages 
Btw ....most Americans hate them ...they taste too much like real food
