On your roast dinner gravy or dry ??

Ah yes. "All the trimmings".

Not long until Christmas and a plethora of threads about people feeling ripped off by various catering establishments because of a difference of opinion about the definition of this phrase.

I can hardly wait!

lol whippet.

Yeah nice and thick the gravy, its amazing though as you get older your taste buds are allover the place. [smiley:crazy]

Perhaps that's when they are on track.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [:p] Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [:p] mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Northern boys love gravy.

Nice thick gravy for me.

Use Bisto and pour in all the meat juices that are left over and top up with a little water then stir until thick and smooth.

northerner seat chips and gravy i hear

I once went to a south london pie and mash shop with a geordie. He ordered gravy instead of liquer.

I could have chinned him.

Gravy and a nice pickle beside it. Today's chicken had Runner Bean Chutney as an accompaniment.

i enjoy my roast and trimmings floating in gravy yum...well not literally

"Gravy made from well-done beef has been shown to contain heterocyclic amines, which are potentially carcinogenic in humans."

Dry for me please.


"Some heterocyclic amines (HCAs) found in cooked meat are known carcinogens. Research has shown that cooking certain meats at high temperatures creates chemicals that are not present in uncooked meats. For example, heterocyclic amines are the carcinogenic chemicals formed from the cooking of muscle meats such as beef, pork, fowl, and fish."

On second thoughts, maybe I'll just have a cheese salad.

Thanks anyway.

cheese salad?

I'd rather die tbh.

are you sure you'd rather die than eat a cheese salad?

I don't like gravy or cheese.

lemme get this unbent
a sunday lunch/dinner with no gravy?
dry POTATOES, meat, veg?

Are you f00kin lizards?!

you eat a sunday roast with your hands?

people just makin' stuff up now, imo.

Dry? Ye Gods!

is that "all the trimmings" thread still on here? twas most amusing.

Couldn't imagine roast dinner without gravy.  My grandad never had gravy with his meat, even turkey  - the driest of all meats.  Used to dread going there for sunday dinner.  Gravy and roast meat just seems so right.

I imagine that thread's still here DaFiMinSa. Must have been started after Nov 6th.

the original was started by ÖÐÎÄÂÛ̳ i think. i cant find it.

There seems to be a lot of freds which mention 'all the trimmings' but I can't find the right one either.

I'm looking for that thread too as talking elsewhere on the subject.

I seem to recall that the poster went to a pub for "Roast beef and all the trimmings and it was £7.50.

When it came it was Beef, Gravy, Roast Potatoes and Carrots.

Not a "trimming" in sight and when he complained the landlord was abusive.

I recall the new pastor at the church moved with his family from Lancashire, and my sister and I were friendly with his son and daughter.

We were invited for lunch and it was horrendous. Imagine pastry and overcooked meat in a pie, with no gravy, and it was just impossible to swallow it.

To compound the felony, you weren't even allowed a drink till you finished.

ME AND MY FRIEND MET TWO GIRLS FROM CLYDEBANK ON OUR HOLIDAYS IN THE ISLE OF MAN IN THE 70S WE WENT TO SCOTLAND FOR ONE OF THEIR 21ST THEIR FAMILY MADE US VERY WELCOME AND COULD NOT DO ENOUGH FOR US ,THE ONLY TROUBLE WAS THEIR WAS NO GRAVY WHEN THEY GAVE US OURC
SUNDAY DINNER ,HE LOOKED AT ME AND I LOOKED AT HIM AS THOUGH THE WORLD HAD STOPPED SPINNING

Roast belly of pork being prepared and yes, plenty of gravy is in order. It's not an "all the trimmings" night though, just roast tatties, cabbage and asparagus.
Anyway that aside, does anyone know what happened to larrence? He was a regular poster on here and horse racing for many years but has been m.i.a. for ages. Really decent bloke and a Palace fan to boot, I hope he is OK.

Gravy made from Carrot and Parsnip water is the dogs bollocks and much healthy too.

Those little concentrated stock pots are brilliant. Put one in with flour, stock from veg and pan juices and it makes a delicious gravy. Using wine also helps the flavour, I'm surprised no-one has made a wine flavour stock pot as it would be a good idea for the Dragon's Den.

Some brilliant stuff on this old thread.

This really made me laugh:

Had a lovely veg roast dinner and a pint in 'Spoons today for £7.99. Gravy is essential, surely.

It was a Christmas dinner. Normal Sunday roasts are cheaper.

How can it be a christmas dinner if thee is no meat?  I am gonna have mashed spuds and swede with sprouts and peas and lashings of gravy for dinner.  No meat.

Because you have a nice veg roast with it. It was a Lentil, mushroom, mozzarella and pumpkin seed roast.

Sounds fkin revolting.  Why do veges bother replacing the meat, just have the veg and spuds and yorky puddings and gravy.  Mushrooms and mozarella for a christmas dinner?  I have got one word to say to that...... Broken Britain.

I think larrence was jailed for crimes against music

Well it wasn't. It was delicious, and no animal cruelty on my plate!

"Mushrooms and mozarella for a christmas dinner?  I have got one word to say to that...... Broken Britain."

Excellent, Rob!

I said the other week to one numpty woman: "I don't really do vegetarians"

You do sparky!

Yeah but dont call it a christmas dinner ffs.  A sh1t meal in a sh1t pub in December does not a Christmas Dinner make.

Still managed to come up with something for her for breakfast - and she said it was delicious. Which surprised me as she hadn't stopped bleating all night. Mainly about men.
I gave her a right telling off for that!

I ONCE WENT TO A DOG KENNELL WITH THE IRISH ANIMAL RIGHTS SOCIETY WE LET ALL THE DOGS FREE SO NOBODY WOULD EAT THEM

Aye, but I haven't cooked for him (yet) kenny!

The humane slaughter myth. Watch this if you dare and then enjoy your meat. Cretins.

http://www.animalaid.org.uk/h/n/CAMPAIGNS/slaughter/ALL///

Here we go again...

One funny thread and trashed again.

No wonder most of the good posters on here are long gone.

Lighten bloody up kenny.

NO IM NOT WATCHING IT ,I NEVER GOT CHAIN SAW MASSACRE OUT WHEN IT WAS ON VIDEO

I hadlun

I hadlun

Damn laptop freaking out again, ignore that.

I had lunch....?

Lighten bloody up kenny.

That's a good one Tommy, considering you've been slating all and sundry lately.

Anyway has anyone watched the video?

Thought not, you'd rather not know the truth.

I'm going now..

Have you?
You bleedin' hypocrite.

Ruining every thread when you're on your high horse about vegetarianism - which you somehow managed not to be for the first 64 years of your life - and then admitting you never watch any of the videos.

Now button it, or I'll come to Bradford and give you a right good Fyffing!

The 'Humane Slaughter' Myth

00:00
07:46

Between January 2009 and April 2011, Animal Aid filmed secretly inside nine UK slaughterhouses. Eight were breaking animal welfare laws.
Slaughterhouse Suffering
Campaign Resources

Between 2009 and 2011, Animal Aid filmed secretly inside nine randomly chosen British slaughterhouses. We found evidence of cruelty and lawbreaking in eight of them. The problems are serious and widespread. Our films revealed animals being kicked, slapped, stamped on, and picked up by fleeces and ears and thrown into stunning pens. We recorded animals being improperly stunned and going to the knife while still conscious. We filmed animals deliberately and illegally beaten and pigs burned with cigarettes.

Even where no laws were broken, animals still suffered pain and fear. And ‘high welfare’ plants, such as those accredited by the Soil Association and Freedom Food, were no better than the standard ones, and were guilty of breaches of the welfare laws. Animal Aid believes that whether ‘conventional’, organic, kosher or halal, all slaughter is unnecessary and immoral, and the only way to prevent such suffering is to go vegan.

How Can I Help?

    Choose an animal-free diet. There is no kind way to slaughter animals, and the best way to prevent their suffering is not to eat them. Animal Aid is here to help and advise anyone wishing to adopt a more compassionate diet.
    The slaughter industry is demanding less external regulation, even though Animal Aid’s investigations show it cannot be trusted to obey the law. Please help us campaign for mandatory CCTV in all UK slaughterhouses by ordering campaign postcards from info@animalaid.co.uk.
    Write a letter to your local newspaper about slaughterhouse cruelty. Let its readers know that Animal Aid can send a free Go Veggie and Vegan pack to anyone who requests one.
    Urge family and friends to watch our film, and and circulate it on Facebook and Twitter.
    Make a donation to help us continue our investigations

Campaign Achievements

Animal Aid is the only organisation to have revealed what is truly going on inside typical UK slaughterhouses. This is what our investigation has achieved so far:

    Two men were jailed for cruelty to animals at Cheale Meats after they beat and burned pigs.
    Our campaign for CCTV to be installed in slaughterhouses has been accepted by the supermarkets. The ten largest – Morrisons, Waitrose, the Co-op, Sainsbury’s, Aldi, Tesco, Lidl, Asda, Marks & Spencer and Iceland – along with wholesalers Booker, have now agreed to deal only with slaughterhouses that have independently monitored CCTV cameras installed.
    Essex slaughterhouse A&G Barber Ltd closed down when its customers saw, through our secretly-filmed footage, how bad conditions were.

Campaign History

The campaign to reveal what takes place behind closed doors in British abattoirs began in January 2009 when we planted fly-on-the-wall cameras in JV Richards, a Cornish slaughterhouse. This was quickly followed by investigations at AC Hopkins in Somerset and Pickstock in Derbyshire.

Have you?
You bleedin' hypocrite

Why should I? I DON'T EAT MEAT!

For 64 years you did.

You're like some rabid ex-40-a-day smoker moaning to all and sundry about the evils of tobacco when they've given up smoking.

Can we please try to have at least one funny thread on here, or should we all just pack it up altogether?

Well you've ruined a few in the last few days with your nastiness.Just lighten up a bit, Tommy. Life is short.

I know you HAVE to have the last word but I'm going to jazz night now. Nice.

Nastiness? What are you getting through your gums now, kenny?

You just expect everyone to like what you like and say no more about it if they disagree with you.

You are the most pompous oaf on here.

My dinner.  Just need to top it off with a bit of mozzarella, put on a paper hat and it is like Christmas has come early.

hahahaha!

No salad cream rob?

.

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=106c0ex&s=8#.VISpU4jfWrW

Hopefully this one works.  Mozarella will be added later.

Looks nice, Rob - but it's a bit small isn't it? Would never fill an Irishman!

It got refilled.

And that is a giant knife and fork combo.

Goodo!

Very funny (about the knife and fork)!

Yet another thread hijacked by that insidious. preaching bore aka Kenny mann..

Why does everything descend down to animal cruelty jibes? I remember you saying you eat chicken and also admit to wearing leather. What a pious, evangelical hypocrite.

You don't eat meat; fine, your choice and we get it. But leave your brain washing and boring soap box sermons out for the rest of us please. I am sure if anyone is remotely interested in some cherry picked anti meat videos they know who to ask!

Oh and lots of thick gravy over a lovely piece of meat takes some beating

No salad cream rob?

Oops,  missed this.  Mashed potatoes, peas and salad cream is a very nice combo as it happens.  But not with sprouts and courgettes.  So gravy it is/was.

KENNY MANN I STILL LIKE YOU,EVEN THOUGH YOU GET ON MY NERVES SOMETIMES,EVEN TOM JONES GETS ON SOME PEOPLES NERVES WHEN HE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT THE GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME IN WALES

Hello Do Wah, welcome back (again)

All I did was post what I had for dinner yesterday. Then along comes rob (predictably) taking the piss out of my dinner when I had not criticised anyone elses. Then he makes half a joke and along comes Tommy (also predictably) to say how funny that was. It wasn't! So blame the Chuckle Brothers, not me.

ha ha.  Lighten up Kenny.  Surely, even by your own admission, you are a self righteous pr1ck when it comes to all these videos and stuff.  I even signed one of your petitions now I get loads of emails from these animal rights agencies.  And your dinner DID sound revolting.  Anyway you're alright in my book at the end of the day.

As an aside, I reckon 3 or 4 days a week I don't eat any meat.  I think we could all benefit from eating a little less meat.

Had a meeting at the RSPCA offices once, not enough room to swing a cat

No gravy on anything. 

Had a steak last night, but had to tip away what seemed like half gallon of juice from the steak and the mushrooms before I started eating.

I'll never visit Stoke

If somebody served me a bowl of 'lobby' there could be a nasty incident.

As for cheese, it's the smegma of Satan, ask bodil, he knows.

rob the nob, it's not  self righteousness, it's altruism. Hope you're reading all your mails and spreading the word.

Rob the nob I like that, up there with son of bellend and useless thick idiot

If the cap fits....

I despise chicken gravy, and if someone gives me a roast with chicken i have butter on my roasties.

Beef or lamb, chops etc, then boatloads of gravy.

I have been serving up plates of butter - along with copious amounts of 'proper' gravy - to the Irish just recently.

The gravy has gone down far better - chicken gravy or not.

Thread's dead Tommy. I killed it!

Apologies to those who think that a funny thread about gravy is more important than animal welfare!

Pillock.

Are you being paid by Betfair to kill the forum?

Oh fack off. This is the first thread I've interrupted in months!

Days, more like.

I really don't understand why someone could be so vociferous - and interrupt so many threads with constant videos etc of things you won't watch yourself - when he's been happily scoffing meat for 64 years before.

Are you claiming total stupidity before 2014 kenny?

Vegetarianism/bad animal welfare has been going on a lot longer than the last 12 months, if you hadn't heard.

By the way Rob The Nob, the other Chuckle Brother is here now!

[and that did make me laugh!]

Days! That's nonsense. You find me a thread I've interrupted in the last week!

Why should I watch the videos? I know what's in them!

Anyway, I'm wasting my time. Nobody gives a toss. Shan't interrupt any more threads till next year.

You do talk so much utter nonsense, kenny.

If you believe in something watch the bloody videos.

I've got your number, I reckon: I'll bet you secretly eat loads of bacon sandwiches don't you, and so put up the video links to assuage your guilt?

Chaps, there are far more important things to worry about. I'll give you some good news, my Ma has been discharged from King's College Hospital after spending 7 weeks in intensive care so she will have Christmas with the family at her home which was huge odds against awhile back. So happy right now you would not believe

Good stuff Slippy.

Good luck to your Ma.

Nice one Jas, enjoy your xmas.

Thanks Tommy

Thanks John, it has been a very draining couple of months but you can't keep a good Dublin matriarch down thankfully.

It was the sloppy kiss off me that worked..

Give her my best once again, O'Slips..

I will guinness2dear, I have learnt a lesson in life this year with what has happened. If your spirit is strong, nothing can stop you.

Great news, Slippy. Very pleased for you.

so am I

Slippy that is wonderful news!

Happy Christmas to you and your family

As an aside; I was in a pub yesterday in the late afternoon/early evening which specialises in carvery meals, every day, for such and such a price.

Three women had acquired their roast dinners at about 5:45pm and sat just across from where I was sitting.
I've rarely been so disgusted.
Plates piled as high as Kilimanjaro - and every single woman weighed no less than 18 stone.

No room for any of them to add a drop of gravy to their meals, such was the enormous piles of food they'd all shovelled onto their plates.

Just craven piggery.
