Cooking for foreigners

[norrahe]

How about getting out and forraging for some wild ingredients?

Just did a wild garlic and marscapone tagliatelle - was frikkin delicious. Can't get much more native than that. Well, the garlic anyway...

Unfortunately my foraging days are over, especially here with the limited soil types.

Though the neighbours have wild garlic growing in their front garden ( though not sure I want cat p!ss flavoured garlic).

The last time we had friends over from Holland I did full beef roast (with yorkies OFC) & trifle all terribly British, they loved it

Would love to do that, but unfortunately I'm limited by the miniscule combi oven with one shelf that cloggies have in their houses, this one also decides when it may or may not cook things to temperature as well . Am kinda missing my double sized oven with accompanying single oven in my house in blighty. Thems the downsides of renting.

Also they haven't quite grasped the concept of aging their beef, most of which seems to be imported from intensively reared farms in Ireland and tastes of nowt. Thankfully I have found a butcher that farms his own meat, but nothing quite beats 2 month aged beef

Give them Colcannon and a sausage and smack them if they call it Stamppot.

I was tempted to do that and see the disappointed looks on their faces
