If you're in an Indian restaurant, it won't be on the menu, but ask if they can make a peshwari paratha. Life will never be the same.

Re: Food and Drink Discoveries or inventions/fusions
I saw on tv recently someone making Disc chips.
Basically chips and gravy with mozzarella cooked in the oven.
Sounds awful but suitable for vegetarians as most gravy granules contain no meat

Re: Food and Drink Discoveries or inventions/fusions
Never heard of disc chips. Sounds like you're talking about poutine. Except any Canadian worth a moose's guff goes absolutely mad when someone British dares to call it poutine when they're using mozzarella. It's gotta be the curds. Proper.
I was very sceptical about poutine. Chips and gravy, yes. Chips and cheese, yes. Cheese and gravy?
But it's amazing. Had it in Vancouver and fantastic stuff when done well.

For a vegan you're getting a bit too enthusiastic about it.

I guess if yoy put cheese ob a burger its nit a stretch to mix cheese and gravy
Poutine is indeed what Canadians call it

You're a better person than me. The first restaurant I went to had very good social distancing measures though. The staff all wore masks and they put up temporary walls between all the tables. The second one less so, but it was quite empty, so lower risk that way.Marc Meakin wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 8:45 amI was one of the few people that knew it would lead to a second wave so i stayed inGavin Chipper wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 8:42 amI went a couple of times in between lockdowns when it was decided that it was a good thing to eat out.Marc Meakin wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 5:58 pm

Dunk biscuits in orange juice. You don't have to use a crappy hot brown drink.

Back to chips.
Dipping your fast food chips in your milkshake (chocolate or vanilla) is very nice.
Also mayo on chips is better than ketchup.

I concur that Digestives work great in orange juice. Not done that for years though.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 12:26 pmOrange juice is just better!Marc Meakin wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 11:12 amNoooooGavin Chipper wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 10:07 am Dunk biscuits in orange juice.

Can't remember if I've tried that, but I like orange/chocolate, so I don't see why not.Marc Meakin wrote: ↑Mon Mar 29, 2021 1:59 pmNot chocolate though surely?Ian Volante wrote: ↑Mon Mar 29, 2021 12:01 pmI concur that Digestives work great in orange juice. Not done that for years though.

Re: Food and Drink Discoveries or inventions/fusions
Yeah chocolate orange is good.
Ive been experimenting with various different flavours of Mocha.
I have a few jars of Options.
Salted caramel and chocolate orange is nice but not chocolate mint
