To Be-Ro or not to Be-Ro . . . that is the question

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

Hoping this gets posted in time - and that there is still plenty to say on the matter!

Lob that pitta out Gremlins It is NOT WANTED HERE.

I have taken a HUGE risk and ordered the only Pebble Mill cookbook I could see on Amazon that didn't seem to be exclusively fish-based (your herring influence again, book).

I swore on my obese cat's life that I would never buy another cookbook until I'd completed at least one recipe from each of the others . . . but even though Lionel Blue (I loved him) and the cooking canon weren't mentioned - just someone called Michael Smith - I've gone for it.

hah Schaden
not far wrong !- how do you feel about Cod tongue and Barley soup ?

But there again - horse hooves and afternoon savouries?

I have the Cordon Bleu and Constance Spry Entertaining Cook Book where the "Impromptu Dinner" is planned three days in advance.

But look at this beauty:

We shall need to see the evidence of your cooking from your new book. Or it didn't happen!

Maybe we ought to share favourite recipes here?

Michael Smith was great - this is the one I use a lot
HERE
but you are obviously easily led ...

I'm more interested in The Cocktail Party @bookbook

Chin Chin! 🍸

But be careful you don't fall into the barbecue pit Gremlins.

I know you're keen to win the GBBO next year, but you are unlikely to have to repeat that particular challenge.

If I were you, I'd practice something more basic - like slaughtering and baking a whole yak in a volcanic fissure. (They probably won't give you time to marinade it properly, so think of a few ideas for quick acting marinades - might I suggest injecting pineapple juice and hydrochloric acid directly into the flesh?) If the yak is your showstopper, I would keep the horns for decorative effect.

I wonder if any of the other MNer's have any ideas regarding what challenges may come up?

Fuzzy has a point, can we just have a baking/recipe/bake off thread?

Great ideas, Schaden, but I'll use mango juice I think.

I'm baking marmite dog biscuits tomorrow.

Have they ever done that on GBBO? I'd love to see Paul try a dog biscuit.

Ironically I used to have a copy of this Vanilla

The Auditory System at the Cocktail Party (Springer Handbook of Auditory Research)

which I gave away when I retired, and I now notice is for sale on Amazon for £119.99p

Sheeeeee-iiiit!

I'm sure they will go nicely with yak, like a yakky landscape or stuff.

along with fermented yaks milk ...

I think Fuzzy's recipe thread is an excellent idea.

All of those cookbooks that only have one decent recipe in - well, rather than pay 20 quid to get the book to get the recipe, we can share them

To dip the biscuits in. Like sludge.

Did you know that yak's milk is PINK book?

Just a little interesting snippet for your delectation.

They will consume even more of the marmite biscuits. They are proper crack for dogs.

Sludge is very popular with the judges. Gremlins will be a shoo-in!

(Shoe-in? Choux-in?)

They should too good for Paul Chardonnays.

Do you have a recipe for Rat Biscuits?

good idea on the recipe thread - does it need to be in a different place though? I may never find it .
I can offer Claudia Rodens baklava recipe , which is amazing and easy
Nigel Slaters chicken in yoghurt and cardoman , which is utterly scrumptious, and you can make the day before
the best pannacotta recipe by Felicity Cloake

Pink? oh dear, like strawberry flavour Nesquick milkshake? or is that

I will accept all your recipes book and will, as my offering, post the Urban Rajah ones if people would like them.

I don't think it tastes like strawberry-flavoured Nesquick book - nature wouldn't be so cruel.
