Re: Cooking Mistakes
Saying that, a fried cheese sarnie ain't bad...it's really good if you mix parmesan cheese and some herbs into the butter that you spread on the outside of the sandwich before frying.

Re: Cooking Mistakes
Hmmmm...I'm American, and that's how I've always made a "grilled cheese sandwich". Two pieces of bread, both buttered, place butter side down on a griddle (or frying pan), place cheese on top of bread, place other slice buttered up. Grill for a few minutes till cheese is melty, flip over, grill again, then serve. So what is YOUR version of "grilled cheese on toast"?

Re: Cooking Mistakes
I suppose the American term would be broiled cheese on toast. My wife always calls what I would have called the grill the broiler anyway.
As much as I enjoy a classic American grilled cheese sandwich, sometimes I do find myself yearning for some good old cheddar cheese on a slice of bread stuck under the grill. Maybe with some Worcester Sauce on it; or a slice of tomato under the cheese.
Mmmm, cheese on toast. Must book that flight home to visit me mum now

I can't abide anything fried. Thinbrit's pic of cheese and onion on toast is making my mouth water.

Re: Cooking Mistakes
Imagine doing a cheese toasty on the barbecue
That'd be a right mess!
I love fried things. Though I do come from the land of the Ulster Fry. My wife does a half decent grilled cheese, she doesn't use too much butter and sometimes she does it with ham and Provolone - those are nice!
I'm trying to forget about that picture of Thinbrit's - they did look rather tasty. I want some of those now.

Branston Pickle makes most things better.

Re: Cooking Mistakes
What's with the cheese? Bloody awful stuff, smells and tastes like sweaty sox, not to mention the claggy texture. Fried cheese, grilled cheese, sliced, crumbled, with or without Branston pickle all yucky.

Re: Cooking Mistakes
My husband loved his dinner. 
Is your house still standing?
It's what takes place before your wife takes up her position at the kitchen sink.
Very true. I'm terrified of a gas explosion though. I never once lit my old gas oven.
My oven is the same. The burners are so hot, medium will burn almost anything. The oven is way slow and has to be preheated for at least 15 minutes.
Your wife doesn't mind you being in her kitchen?
OMG!
Thanks for reminding me why I'm a vegetarian.
Why, did a hooker show up?
I'm the same way.

Re: Cooking Mistakes
Just made a rather stupid, rather painful one involving chopping fresh chiles and sensitive "tissue". I know they don't mix, but in my defence, I've slept badly this week, Squeeze were on the radio, the phone rang and I got distracted...

Re: Cooking Mistakes
I once put a chicken in the oven (I know, how amazing is that - 
). Took it out some time later and went to carve it but could not find any meat on it 
. I thought I had gone mad. Called to Mr H the S to take a look - he 'looked' and was nearly on the floor laughing. I was not impressed and asked why he was laughing - I said I did not pay all that money to get a chicken that had no 'meat' on it - how can a chicken not have any meat on it!!!!!!!!
His reply::::::::: the chicken is upside down you nitwit
I never lived that one down and he even told the story in his wedding speech
.
One other from school; we were making fairy cakes. I was very proud I had mixed everything together and put it all into those little baking cups. Put them in the oven and chatted with my friend. Teacher comes around to have a look. Opens up the oven and all my mixture has dripped everywhere in the oven. I look on my work bench and realised I had not put the flour in.
