What to eat with cottage cheese?
I see you are in Stoke. In that case forget the word broiler and substitute grill! You must enjoy oatcakes and cheese up in Stoke. I have been trying out loads of different crumpets and rate the Tesco Value/Basic ones. The Sainsburys and Morrisons value brands aren't bad either.
What to eat with cottage cheese?
Crumpets also good with sliced cheese and put under broiler after toasting the bottom. Add chutney. I have been doing egg fried rice, with vegetables and then adding cottage cheese in, stirring and letting it melt and then adding sriracha sauce.
Any memories of "poor people food" from your childhood that you still crave?
What kind of dough is this? Do you make a bread dough and let it rise and then fry it? I am intrigued.
Best Korean in New Malden?
Thanks. I have a car but sometimes have free time during the week and would like to try then. Do you know what the parking restrictions are?
What is one tip that you learned about cooking that was simple but made a huge difference? [old]
Trader Joe's a good place to look for inexpensive wine.
St Johns doughnuts, eccles cakes and bread, the best in London?
I have had zero luck with toasters recently so no doubt another one would break if I tried to stuff something like a sandwich in it. I want to get griddle to use to make more than one grilled sandwich or when cooking for friends. Have found that the Waitrose own brand sliced brown bread makes very good grilled cheese.

Who is a King? Mine and Zuriga's method is 100% American diner.
St Johns doughnuts, eccles cakes and bread, the best in London?
Yes, hurray for frying pans or griddles. Would never considering using bags. Wouldn't you need a massive toaster? I think they must be same as Croque Monsieurs although I have never seen one cooked.
St Johns doughnuts, eccles cakes and bread, the best in London?
I like to do mine the American way.......buttered on the outside and cooked in a frying pan. I usually tomato and onion, or chopped leek if I have any.

Poilane's bread keeps really well. It also makes great grilled/toasted cheese sandwiches - it is the bread used by the chap at Kappacasein, Borough Market and Maltby street.

Did you put the cheese from the green container on it?
Have you seen the Pioneer Woman Cookbook? What do you think?
That is because she takes her recipes from old church cookbooks.
fine foods shops, London
On Sunday there is a farmer's market at William Ellis School at Parliament Hill, just up the road from Camden Town.
Any memories of "poor people food" from your childhood that you still crave?
Completely agree with you. Who are these people who think they are 'poor people's' food? It must be a hangover from back in the day when to eat meat everyday was considered to be the ultimate.
Childhood favorite sandwich
Raw sweet/mild onion on buttered crusty white bread, with salt and pepper; buttered bread with peanut butter and raspberry jam; fried egg between 2 slices of buttered bread; tuna fish, mayo, celery and onion on toasted bread; egg salad made the same way as the tuna, and all served with potato chips if possible.

My grandmother had the same snack as a kid! Her mother used to give them to her and her sister with mustard on top. She would make the same for me when she stayed with us. She was from Cincinnati of German descent.
Another after school she made me that her mother had made her was fried apple pieces. She used butter and sprinkled sugar and cinnamon on top. Butter and sugar sandwiches on white bread was another.
Three Coffees, London
Where in Holborn is the Department?
I wonder if Caravan is the Ehtiopian guy who sells/used to sell coffee at Southbank market?
London Restaurants for Single Women
Have eaten on my own at both Jose, in the daytime and Spuntino at night and felt very comfortable. Staff friendly in both places. Counter seating at both.
Stumbled upon great way to keep bread fresh!
My mother designed a kitchen back in the late sixties which had a breadbox drawer. It pulled out and incorporated a sliding lid made out of metal. I do not remember if the rest of it was lined or not. It was below the level of the countertop, but not directly below it. Am now in the UK where counter situated breadboxes used to be quite common. Have seen the clay pots but lots of people now seem to be going for the vintage or vintage look metal ones. I never put bread in the fridge. Have found though that sourdough loaves last a lot longer than any other type. I tend to stash my bread in my microwave now, or else the cupboard above, usually put in a large ziploc bag.
Eating in London while standing up (i.e., not sitting down)
I can recommend Homemade, an excellent cafe in East Dulwich. They have high counters running around the inside walls, also with high stools. so very possible to eat standing up. They are in Barry Road, closest to the Peckham Rye end of Barry Road, nr. the junction with Upland Road, SE22. Open 7 days a week from breakfast; they close about 5 pm.
One day - need one lunch, one activity (such as a museum) and one dinner (and maybe one cocktail place?)
Agree about Harrods being too touristy. The crowds are dreadful as well. Think I would only go there if it was first thing in the morning and I needed to get something specific. Selfridges is a nicer store, on Oxford Street, for a department store and it also has a food hall.
V&A is a wonderful museum Or you could go to Tate Modern when you down on the Thames.
FOOD MARKET - SOUTHBANK CENTRE SQUARE [London]
Was talking to Simon from Luardos at Brockley Market on Saturday. He said they were no longer going back to the Southbank market due to the high pitch charges. They are going to be at Eat Street though, and Brockley Market. Had a tasty and very filling breakfast burrito from them, complete with chorizo.
Stotties?
Marks and Spencer used to do a cheese and coleslaw sandwich which I was partial to. I often recreate it at home.
Stotties?
OK. Then would that be sarny singular and sarnies plural?!?!? I think not!
Oh who cares!
My name is not Suzie or even Suzy.
Stotties?
Sarnie and buttie (that's the way I spell it!) - sounds so much nicer than a sammie doncha think! Not that I ever said sammie during my time in the USA.
Cheap places to eat in London.
Maybe Zone 1-2 approximately! Usually only North Americans say downtown. The poster has advertised for the same in Paris, Amsterdam, and Madrid.
Some newish places to try in London
Tried Pinkberry last year, soon after it opened. They were out of quite a few flavours so had a plain with fruit salad. Perfectly ok, but on the expensive side. I did like the fact that you could pick and choose which fruit you wanted from the fresh fruit supply. Haven't tried Snog or Oddono's as mentioned by Babybat.
