Man Food

[Barmaid]

On of Mr BM's mates is having a bit of a tough time, so I am cooking him supper tonight (as Mr BM said, only to make his misery complete).

What is good "Man food" - apart from the ubiquitous steak. He's got one hell of an appetite too.

[vakayu]

Sounds like any sort of comfort food would do the trick!

Lamb shanks, pork belly, curry, pie. xx

[ummmm]

This is Ginges answer...

Starter - ribs with salad (lots of tomatoes)

Main - Steak with onion rings, chips, mushrooms, tomatoes, peas and a fried egg.

Pudding - cheese cake with ice cream.

[humbersloop]

steak and kidney pudding - proper steamed - mash, carrots, nary a green veg in sight

[shoota]

Prawns in a spicy bread crumb coating with curry mayo and sweet chili dips.
Kleftikon, buttery mash, roasted onions and mange tout.
Syrup sponge and custard.


Lay another place.....

[Barmaid]

Hmmmm, I think Prawns as a starter is a good one - I've got a massive bag of whole prawns.

I really like the idea of Kleftiko, but having just googled it I learn that it was developed by the Greeks during the Turkish occupation. Our guest is Turkish. lol

I shall ask the boss when he returns as to what might be appropriate.

[shoota]

Oh, and crudite..... all men like a bit of that!

[shoota]

Its just a gloopy lamb shank really but once eaten, forever hooked.

[humbersloop]

if not steamed pud for mains, then either that or pie for afters, custard a must here

[jno]

mezes... hundreds of mezes... of course, you should have started on Tuesday.

[shoota]

Call it a 'souris d'agneau'......

[jno]

... but seriously, any problem with the ubiquitous steak plus whatever trimmings he might like? Quick enough to prepare, so it leaves you time to pour your whole being into a fancy dessert.

meatballs

[anneasquith]

keep it simple. mixed grill. and crumble for pudding .

[tiggerblue10]

Get the BBQ out and do some lamb and chicken shish kebabs in pittas with salad and dips. Turks (and Turkish Cypriots) are notorious for BBQs and kebabs. I should know ;o)

[anneasquith]

oh and don't forget to give him a doggy bag of goodies.

[Barmaid]

I think we are going for:-

Prawns

Steak, chips, tomatoes, onion rings, etc etc etc

Sponge and custard

[ummmm]

Keep it simple and do a mixed grill??? What?

[ummmm]

Mart's second choice after ribs was prawn cocktail :-)
