Oh God! Let's hope it is an April 1th joke ... BANGERS AND MASH IN A CONE  Bangers and mash in a cone Thursday April 10,2008 By Martin Evans NEVER let it be said that we Brits lack imagination. After last summer’s washout weather led to a huge slump in ice-cream sales, one enterprising vendor has come up with a whacky idea. Why not put a banger and a scoop of creamy mash in an ice-cream cone? Sprinkle with peas, douse in gravy … hmmm, delicious. A sure-fire hit. Still got your doubts? Well, the novelty treat is coming to a town near you this summer, and you’ll be able to buy it from a specially-adapted traditional ice-cream van. And if the heavens open and you think it’s altogether too chilly and damp to order ice-cream, just ask for a Mash Cone. The bizarre new product is the brainchild of traditional foods company Aunt Bessie’s. Its marketing manager, Jane Jones, explained: “We all remember the excitement of buying an ice-cream on a hot summer’s day, and we want to keep something of that tradition going. Now, we can keep up the nostalgic thrill of buying a cone from a van – but without the chill.” The company came up with the offbeat idea in response to new warnings from the Met Office that Britain is likely to experience wetter summers because of global warming. Last summer the torrential rains of the wettest British summer for 200 years led to a serious 6.6 per cent drop in ice-cream sales, while sales of unseasonal and hot comfort foods soared. But Aunt Bessie’s also wants to do its bit to revive interest in old-fashioned ice-cream vans. At their peak in the Sixties around 20,000 vans toured Britain’s streets, calling children out for an ice-cream with their cheery chimes. Now the numbers are down to about 5,000. The vendors dispensing the new Mash Cones will be dressed just as the old-style ice-cream men of yesteryear were, in white coats, hats, and even bow ties. That’s this summer’s problems licked, then. So, what will that be – one scoop or two? |

ok,,,,WHAT is the deal with a great many people not liking cucumbers? A summer staple of mine is to do up sliced cucumbers + onions and let them stew in a mix of vinager/oil/sugar in the fridge for a day or so. I put a container of 'em in with my lunch some days and most of the guys just about turn green and want to puke. Anybody else??

Ayinger I grew up on something like that. Cukes, onions, maters in an oil and vinegar dressing. Seemed we always had a bowl in the fridge during the summer. Over the years have added red beans to it, have some in my fridge as we speak.

I don't hate cucumbers so much as they just give me the worst gas. Especially fresh. There was a time when I lived out in the sticks in Oklahoma and a neighbor lady took pity on my penniless ass and gave me a bushel of them. I ate them alright; fried, steamed, otherwise cooked, and raw, but it was an exercise in flatulence I would not want to wish upon anyone to have to witness. I still can't eat 'em.

I had some of the cuke/onion mixture that I was eating on in front of my friend I bought the house from -- upon seeing them her face fell a slight and she whispered out "I haven't had those since my mother died...." She only ate one when I offered, like any more would be too emotional or something. So I asked why she just didn't make it and she used Jeff's line: they give her husband gas and no one would eat them.
Amp: I can see tomatoes in there if I was going to eat the stuff that day....any longer, don't they get too mushy? The beans,,,hmmmm, that would put a whole 'nother dynamic on the dish. Before I moved and got my cucumber source, I did do up a 3-bean salad thing --- think it was basically vinager & oil dressing on it (NO mayo involved) but the secret weapon was a few dashes on anise in there -- TALK about bringing it up to a new level!
Speaking of my cucumber source, it's this middle-aged couple who live around the corner on the county highway. They have a small garden plot behind their house and each day theres a little red wagon out beside their drive with yellow & green zuchinni and cucumbers for just a quarter each. Now and they they bag up some green beans for the same price --- and the bag's big enough for me to get 4 or 5 big helpings out of. I grilled so many veggies when I cooked-out Sunday that I'm probably set until almost the end of the week!
Another typical Indiana thing: corn on the cob, still in the husk, soaked for a couple hours in salt water and then tossed right on the grill. Talk about s-w-e-e-t ! The way all that field-fresh goodness carmelizes, and then when you peel off the hot husk and that smell hits you,,,,,damn anything else on your plate, that shit's goin' down FIRST!

The maters are just fine as long as you only kep it around for a few days. Also, I don't usually eat alot of the inside of a mater. I usually do a little gutting and get rid of the snotty textured/seedy part and mainly use the outer mater bits.
Try it with some kidney beans, great source of protein and a great light side.
Tonight I think I am doing a BLT, not a mayo fan, but w/ this you have to use a little sumpin'.

Fuck, mat...I think you are obsessed with Sarah Palin...I mean, REALLY! It's almost like she's become the Yin to Madonna's Yang.
I don't like onions or sugar in my cucumber conncoction, but a solution of vinegar and water, heavy on the vinegar. It needs to sit in the refrigerator for a few days while the cucumbers get nice and soft. It was a staple of mine growing up. I haven't had 'em in years, and thinking about it now makes me want to go to the store and pick up a few cucumbers and a gallon of white vinegar.

Cuisine tonight was:
Natural chicken breasts (boneless/skinless) shaked and baked (chicken recipe only.) Add some teriyaki sauce while still hot for a delicious breast!
Side dishes were zatarains red beans and rice and steamed spinach.
Uhm.
I'll be making my pot roast with corn muffins tomorrow. My specialty.

6 inch ham and american cheese sandwich from subway. Mayo only with lettuce, tomato and black olives. On wheat. With lays (not those horrible baked lays either but the REALLY FATTENING, SALTY & OILY) potato chips. Picked up some Boars Head ham and turkey for sandwiches during the week. Boars Head is a really good brand.  |
