    Houmous.

    Friday evening. A beer and a dish of Houmous. perfect.
    What's your favourite ready made? any good easy recipes for making your own? what your favourite accompaniment?

    Have to say I do love ready made caramelised onion with crudites or some plain pringles type thing, (I know, I know), but are there better options?

    You don't need Tahini

    Is my suggestion

    (but if you do , make sure it's fresh, as stale Tahini is like gearbox oil)

    Garlic in industrial quantities

      I think i used Tahini in my couple of forays.Worked OK, but not brilliant.
      I'll have to try without , then.

      I haven't tried gearbox oil. (good band name though).

      Edit: This board goes really quiet around 6 pm. Lots of gin swilling and general troughing, I suppose.

          Now the king told the boogie men
          You have to let that raga drop
          The oil down the desert way
          Has been shakin' to the top
          The sheik he drove his Cadillac
          He went a-cruisin' down the ville
          The muezzin was a' standing
          On the radiator grille

              No salt

              Best olive oil? Hope you don't mean extra virgin (wrong taste)

              Chilli!? WTF?

              Next you'll tell me you drive a Volvo

                  Dunno about 'ready-made', team, but on a Friday it's always a heavily-vinegared and salted Fried Haddock, Chips, Garden Peas, accompanied by Bread & Butter and a strong pint of PG Tips!

                    I would go for mushy peas, but otherwise faultless , Scotty.

                        WTF are "Garden peas"
                        I grow peas
                        but the ones you get in shops are from a ruddy great prairie in East Anglia which is hardly a "garden"
                        and anyway you eat MUSHY peas with fish and chips not "petits pois"

                        (Ashvale in Aberdeen is a much better chippy than the over hyped ones in Aldeburgh...... I bet Ben and Peter made their own anyway )

                            PG tips in a huge FOff size mug goes perfik. Garden peas grown on the Pampas in Suffolk are great too!

                              Whats the best chippy in town at the moment, Greeny?

                              they used to do brilliant chips in the one on Millbrook road.
