TLicense Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 mushroom with loads of mushrooms floating in it Uuuurgrgrgrhghghh mushrooms!!! You do know that mushrooms are basically grown from s*it? So you're essentially eating the fungus that grows on pig crap! If I grew a fungus on my foot, would you eat that? Bleh! Anyway, away from chomping on crap, my girlfriend makes an amazing "wickedly hot spicy tomato soup". It's just spicy enough to get my nose to run. Awesome!

Ewen Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 No, silly, he had an irrational fear of bananas. Obviously. As I have of butter beans.

Tannhauser Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I know someone that can't even have the word mentioned when she's in the room, hates them so much. Crikey. It must be tempting to try sneaking the word in under her radar e.g. 'I do like that car but there's not mush room in the back' or even 'there's chest nut mush room in the back'. Or perhaps singing 'We are the champignons' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Avgolemono. (Egg, lemon and rice soup with chicken) The absolute best soup in the world. Sounds interesting but also sounds a little bit like the stuff you see in a shop doorway in the early hours of the morning on a drunken weekend.

ilicos Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Sounds interesting but also sounds a little bit like the stuff you see in a shop doorway in the early hours of the morning on a drunken weekend. I'm sure you'd give both a try Michael. (actually looks like creamy soup) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I'm sure you'd give both a try Michael I disagree but I would like to try your favourite, I may see if I can locate some or a recipe, I like the sound of it. Edit: Does this sound authentic? http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/806/avgolemono.aspx http://uk.media-allrecipes.com/Recipes/XLarge/4fef54c0-c25c-420f-9e73-9144491900b3.jpg I have a Greek cookbook at home that I've never opened (too much temptation, my favourite regional food) so there might be something in there too.

ilicos Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 That picture is terrible!!! I have never seen Avgolemono look like that. Sounds about right but I would never use fish stock. This is how I do it: Assuming you use a large pot. 1. I buy a whole chicken and boil it for an hour to create my own stock(leaving the skin on). I simply add some salt to the water. (Make sure to skim the scum off the stock every so often). This way, I have the chicken ready also. Note: After removing the chicken you may need to top up the stock with water and maybe even 1/2 - 1 chicken stock cube to enhance the flavour. 2. Add one cup long grain rice (Uncle Ben's), and cook. 3. In the meantime, get 2-3 eggs and about 3 lemons. Extract the lemon juice and place into a large bowl with the eggs and mix well. 4. When the rice is cooked, get a ladle and slowly add stock to the egg and lemon mixture (be sure to stir the mixture to avoid curdling) 5. When you have doubled the volume of the mixture you can afford to be a bit more reckless and slowly add the egg mixture to the stock. (to be safe build up to about 3-4 times the original volume) 6. Stir well and season to taste with salt and freshly milled black pepper. 7. You can either now tear the chicken into the soup or serve on the side for the consumer to add. Serve with sliced toast and butter. I tend not to add too much lemon as this can be added to your bowl when eating. Also, forget what your recipe says about being careful for it not to curdle once mixed as this had never happened to me in 30 years of eating and cooking it. You can actually let it cool and stick in the fridge for a few days and reheat. How it should look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
