British food?

[Tawi2]

I was out for lunch with some guy's earlier who I had arranged to meet in shepherds bush,they are proper cockney chaps :icon_lol: Geezers :icon_lol: So I took them into Cooke's pie-and-mash shop near the market,the food was ok,nowt special,I had pie mash and eel with liquer,the place was filled with a totally white clientel which is unusual for the area which for want of a better word is "Diverse" anyway both the guys thoroughly enjoyed the food which they said was traditional british grub,on the way home I was pondering is that the best we have?I dont go a bundle on pinoy food either but we arent culinary nation as chinese,indian,italian,thai......how many go to a traditional brit restaurant,whats our national dish?(curry?)

l read somewhere that all this spicy curry originated due to the need to disguise the taste of the rotten meat that was the norm in the 'olden days'. :smile:

You are old(er) now Michael ... did the young(er) man speak
Though your hair is not at all white.
And yet you're still getting 'it' :do_it: twice a week :omg:!
D'you think at your age it is right?

Explanatory Footnote: :yeahthat:'s based on a poem penned in 1865 - by the writer, Charles Ludwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, author of 'Alice in Wonderland' - which I've duly adapted to suit the present context.

Here's the original for those interested:-

"You are old Father William, the young man said
And your hair has become very white
And yet, you incessantly stand on your head -
Do you think - at your age - it is right?"

There are, of course, many more verses to the actual poem itself, but it's the first verse which sticks in my mind from my scooldays. Does it strike a chord at all with any of you?

Pinoy food for me is the worst in SEA and I have been to quite a few countries in the area. It's the reason there are so many Thai resto's yet so few Pinoy ones in England. Everything seems to revolve around dead pig............Mhhhhhhhh Humba :NoNo:

We're both 'foodies' and my wife is an excellent cook. She ran her own restaurant in Japan.

We've always eaten foods we like in a style of our choosing.
When we lived in UK we'd travel far and wide to get the ingredients we needed to prepare the foods we liked.
Now here in Davao we still travel far and wide to try and get those needed ingredients. I have to say it's not easy.

Neither of us are fond of traditional Pinoy dishes but we do like some.
We still eat what we like whether it's roast beef dinner, a good curry, kinilaw, grilled chicken, pork belly, tempura or stir fries.
I have fish and chips when I fancy with proper malt vinegar too.

I will admit that the Philippines is the only country I've lived in where I have not immersed myself in the foods. In fact I've actively avoided most.

Looks delicious Fred:hubbahubba:

[Terpe]

Just because I can't have it I really want proper English bangers and mash covered with onion gravy and some hot horseradish sauce on the side.

My favourite English roast of leg of lamb with mint sauce and roasted potatoes with mash and brocolli is available here and very very tasty it is too. The lamb's not too expensive, but the shop where I bought my mint sauce has replaced it mint jelly which does 'cut the mustard' with me at all. Besides which, all my Bisto gravy has now gone.

BTW, all 4 jars of my Coleman's English Mustard have also been well and truly emptied

[stevewool]

Does toast count?

[imagine]

There is very little food I like here in Phil.
I miss my English food and Indian curry.

French bread here in Gasano is the closest I've found to match UK bread, other breads I tried are just too sweet with sugar. Whole wheat bread is ok but I prefer white bread.

The closest to brown sauce and salad cream? In fact, the only ones I've found here are from Waitrose in Cagayan.

The brown sauce tastes like HP and the salad cream like Heinz. Maybe it's just the familiar taste - as I haven't had them for a long time now.

Is there no one in the UK that can pack up a large BB box for you??
I have a year's supply of the stuff you mentioned..

[Longweekend]

We used to frequent an Indian restaurant in Makati, and very nice it was too....:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[imagine]

Is there no one in the UK that can pack up a large BB box for you??
I have a year's supply of the stuff you mentioned..

Last time I asked my eldest daughter if she could box up the tools and stuff I left in her garage plus add some items for me.

I got, "Ok, I'll ask the hubby." Next day she says he cleared out the garage along with my tools etc, which included all the packing tape etc. She didn't mention about doing a box for me anyway, so i said nothing and spent a few days feeling angry.

My other 2 daughters are also very busy, working having babies, etc, this past year.

Been busy myself with the building and emptying my pockets, but soon I'll get round to asking again. Maybe once the ground floor is rented, for income.

[Tawi2]

I remember in Hong Kong when Harry Ramsdens opened a fish and chip shop,we used to be in there once a week. Then Brett's Seafood opened a chippy in Wanchai as well, and all of the supermarkets sold food that was British. :icon_lol: I know we are supposed to immerse ourselves in a culture,and that's cool. In Thailand I eat Thai food, in India I ate Indian food, but in Pinas it's a bit difficult :icon_lol:

:xxgrinning--00xx3: ... definitely!

:xxgrinning--00xx3: ... definitely!I've eaten toast a few times over there usually for breakfast on request but I remember buying some bread and making some toast when we had access to the hotel's cooking facilities in Boracay. It just doesn't taste quite the same though as the 'butter' I've always had tastes like ice-cream.

[Tawi2]

There's Marks and Sparks in Davao, I saw one in Abreeza.

[chrisincebu]

Apart from a pub, I find it difficult to even find a British Restaurant. We had one briefly in Newcastle's Grey Street years ago but it wasn't there for long.

As for Lechon/Crispy Pata, when I was a kid, roast pork came on Sunday - maybe once a month - and the crackling was something I really really craved for. Then I ended up in Cebu and it seemed to be everywhere! :omg:! Was hard to resist!

That being said, the wife is smitten with British food since we moved back here - especially the Carvery - although we do rustle up some Pinoy treats when we can find the ingredients.

Is the lamb really goat Peter? Because I couldn't tell the difference, it was nice! :Erm:

It's genuine imported New Zealand lamb.
We buy it S & R Shopping
Lots of imported stuff if wanted.
I bought my wife a case of Corona beer the other day. It's her favourite.
They had some Carlsberg too, but at the asking price I'm very happy to stick with my San Miguel Pils

Mostly we're buying fresh seafoods and vegetables at the local markets.
Found a lovely bakery just down the road at Toril G-Mall. The French baguettes are just about perfect. Lots of other tasty stuff too.

I have eaten goat though. Very tasty. These days we don't eat much meat, still enjoying the opportunity of such inexpensive but top quality seafoods :Jump:

[imagine]

Been offered dog a few times, but I declined :yikes:

[Terpe]

I don't suppose you've got the proper malt vinegar here :Erm:

I haven't found it anywhere! :bigcry:

Yes Stewart, malt vinegar is available here just up the road at Swiss Deli :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Most supermarkets around here sell HP brown sauce.
We can also buy the Japanese mayonnaise we like too.

For sure I feel a trip out there coming on, the wife will be on holiday soon, so could be a good time to do it.

A couple days' break might be good and tour Davao.

It's probably difficult when you're on hols but we have a few great French bakery outlets and as for butter, Lurpak is easily available, even the Lurpak spreadable.
Found a number of places for great marmalade too.

Give us a shout Stewart, we have plenty of room.
Just wait awhile as we're moving house again in a couple of weeks. Same village though as we really love it here. Plenty of local markets and transportation just minutes away.

[Ako Si Jamie]

Been offered dog a few times, but I declined :yikes:I could never eat dog. Ever.

[Tawi2]

I wouldn't eat dog again. Had it a few times in the past; meat is meat, but since I read that you can contract rabies through eating the flesh of a rabid dog, it's no longer on the menu. :NoNo: Next time someone passes me a well-done mongrel steak or offers me Afghan hound adobo I shall politely decline :cwm25:

[Terpe]

Dog meat and all the activities around it is big business in many parts of the Philippines.

There was a TV documentary about it just last week following the discovery that a well known Baguio restaurant had been serving it up in their meat dishes for some years :yikes:

Shocking stories about the kidnapping and totally inhumane treatment of dogs :furious3::censored:

[chrisincebu]

What was the name of that one in Grey Street?

For the life of me I can't remember, but it was down at the bottom on the corner under the railway bridge. All the meat was locally sourced too!

[Tawi2]

When I first went to Pinas I remember seeing skinned dogs and live shackled dogs in Baguio,thats what it was renown for back then,it didnt really shock me.

[imagine]

the dogs i was offered, were taken off the street, and believe me the street dogs here look in a terrible condition, skin desieses ect, no way would that make my mouth water,
also seeing the dog having its fur coat burnt off on the BQ was enough for me

[Longweekend]

On the evening before our wedding the wife's brothers and other male members of the family held a celebration BBQ with bottles of gin and the proverbial 'dog on a spit'!, I declined and stuck to San Mig and no food....:cwm25:

OH NO , the whitrose weetabix had a nest of small brown beatles living inside the bix, full packet contaminated, i thought the second sealed pack would be ok so split it open ,, low and behold the rest of the colony was in there,
iv eaten from them twice, first time i saw a beatle on my dish, but i thought its not unusual to be fighting for first place before the ants do ect, so i shifted it off my dish continued to eat, the second time i didnt notice any proberbly cause i used hot milk which would have killed then inside the bix biscuit, only to find on my 3rd attempt that it was a living box of bugs:yikes:

[Terpe]

I used to laugh at all the stuff my wife would put inside the fridge when we lived in UK
Such a lot of stuff that really didn't need to be in there.
Must be a cultural thing.

Now that I'm living here I fully understand.
Even I'm the one doing it now. Just about anything and everything will find a place in the safety of our fridge.

The ants and other bugs are just waiting in their multi-billion legions to have a crack at getting into your house and seeking out the gourmet delights on offer.

We've had some ant challenges and so far we've got 'em beat. Constant vigilance is the key.

Don't worry too much about them beetles Stewart, they're a source of protein :biggrin:

[Terpe]

I bought some cheese I recognised today.
Seriously Strong and Seriously Mature.

:hubbahubba:

About the same price as I recall paying in Waitrose.

Packaged in UAE :icon_lol:

anyway yes the wife and the fridge, i often say why you put the sugar in the fridge amongst other things,

the biggest problem i find is when i buy any imported food, when Lita entertains she gives it away , no matter how much i complain,
she just says she likes to share the new tastes with friends :icon_lol:

The English celery is wonderful and much missed by us.

I had a beautiful meal yesterday,english food,went to the Alexander Pope in twickenham for lunch,I dont drink but its an absolute cracking pub,faces the river,sat out the front in the restaurant in an old leather chair that fitted like a glove,the fish and chips was cooked to perfection,and the meat board was a wooden platter with glazed honey ham slices crusty rough-cut bread and different home-made chutneys,the coffee wasnt bad either,all in the presentation but the food in there is well reccomended if your ever passing:smile:

Thanks Stewart, never thought of cheese sauce mix because I've never bought any, even at my age I'm still learning:wink:
