Hi list, I belong tomany lists, not all cooking related, so I'm not one to
lurk, but come straight in, hope that's ok for folks out there..lol So
first of all, my name is Cher, I live at the bottom of map of England, in
the county of Wiltshire. I love cooking and messing about. I couldn't
boil an egg when I was in my teens...lol. But marriage and children and
grandchild come along, and somehow you look back and realise just how much
you've learned....don't you? Well I have at least. One thing I have
learned is that I love kitchen gadgets, and have tons of them, from bread
makers to mixers and processors down to small items like garlic presses..

what is your favourite gadget? I think mine has to be the electric whisk,
where would I be without it? nursing a sore wrist I expect, lol. The
balloon whisk too....I couldn't live without that, and have various sizes of
them.

Who knows someone may post something I've never heard of and just have to
have, I shall have to see if dh can install a new cupboard for all of the
things I have or want..

Many thanks....Cher

Yo, welcome. Yeah, I do like the wands as we call them in USA. Going back
the oldies but goodies, I have to say that I relly like the ricers.

Hi Pam, thanks for this info, I'm going to have a look on the net later to
see these things we probably call them something different. Not sure what a
'ricer' is, so am going to look for some photos. I hope I don't like it as
it'll mean something else I'll just Have to try....lol

again thanks....Cher

Hi Michael, now that is one thing I haven't got and would love... a
smoothie maker....we have blenders and grinders and the braun blender, and
liquidizers etc...but this is a great gadget and so labour saving

Again, of course I'd have to look out a picture of your things compared to
ours....could be something completely different...lol

Many thanks....Cher

Hi Gloria, many thanks for this, not heard of this one, so again, I will

Great to hear from you...

Every real cook has a meat grinder... no more mystery meat, know what
and who you eat... and aside from the typical culinary endeavers one
never never knows when they need to dispose of a body. So, Cher, I'm
really interested in hearing the titillating details of your "messing
about".

Teeth more flat than rounded, but very, very sharp
so every pass creates a great deal of "gratings".
Theyw ere originally created for woodworking or
industrial use, but are now made for kitchen use.

Hi Sheldon, well I just kind of do anything that takes my fancy.. I am
however at a disadvantage again when you speak of a meat grinder...we have
meat mincers, or wooden mallets with raised knobs on them, to pound meat
thinly, like a steak or even chicken if you needed a thin piece to roll up
around something else.

Further in the messages I give a potatoe recipe that can be used as an
alternative to plain old boiled or mashed/creamed potatoes and also I give a
recipe I use for a good coating batter.

We have some silly names over here for recipes...like in Yorkshire they are
famous for their Yorkshire Puddings, and not like you would expect, with
icecream or custard, these are eaten with Roast Beef and vegatables and
gravy. Of course I didn't think about it until my youngest son
said...'''Gravy..on yorkshire puddings''' I had to explain to him then that
this is what they were called, mind you he'd eaten them for years...lol.

I think the nearest thing we may have to your meat grinders are mincers,
where they are clamped to a table and once put together pieces of meat and
onion are placed in the top, the handle turned and out comes finely minced
up meat. These have been replaced over here by processors and shop bough
minced or ground beef. Not the same...not to me anyway, they are full of all
sorts of meal type stuff and I'd rather do my own. Ever had Rissoles?? an
old war recipe passed down is to take minced beef and onion, or ground mince
and onion and cold mashed/creamed potatoes, and make them into balls then
flatten them into discs about half an inch thick, and fry them.. serve with
any veg...bubble and squeak comes to mind, and fried egg....bubble and
squeak is sadly not made very much over here anymore either, a way of using
up left over cold mashed potatoes and cold cooked cabbage, mix the two
together place the whole lot in a hot fry pan, with a scant amount of oil,
and fry, a tin or enamel plate comes in handy here, as you make the bubble
and squeak fill to the edges of the pan, and place the plate over the top,
then turn the pan, so that the B and S is now on the plate, and shuffle
this back into the pan so that the bottom is now able to brown...not
everyones idea of a good meal, but nostalgia plays a part in this food item
for me, and the smell takes me back to childhood...lol

Cheers....Cher

Thanks for this info Gloria, cooking over here isn't like it once was, it
seems to be a dying art, The younger set in today's world this way, seem to
work, and come home and just grab something from the freezer, which they've
previously bought and put there.

Nothing wrong with this mind you..I guess I'm after good old fashioned
cooking at the end of the day, my choice, as theirs is theirs. But is is
sad because the little family butchers are a dying breed...now you just buy
meat in a supermarket, and if you are lucky like I am to find a butcher in
your small town, then it is a bonus. At one time butchers were one to every
street, now they appear to be one to every town, and that only if you are
lucky.

This because of more convenient foodstuffs available, from freezer outlets
has made the butcher a very expensive shop to buy from..

Shame, it's like alot ofother things this way...

Well never mind...

Cheers....Cher

Hi Cher

What a kind offer! I'll be happy to reciprocate with something from the
wilds of California :-) If you feel up to tucking in a packet of wine
gums, I'll be eternally grateful. Can't get em here. I hoarded two
packets for so long, when I checked em last week, they were well past sell
by. I ate em anyway, both of them. Can't waste wine gums!!! I'll send
you an email and we can talk. By the by, I've spent a fair old bit of
time in Britain over the last ten years, although I don't believe we made
it down to Wiltshire -- must be one of the only areas of the isle I've not
visited ... will have to remedy that!

Hi Sharon, I've been on several cooking related groups over the years, and
believe I may have been on this one, but as I'm not 100% sure, and can't
find anything on google, thought it best to come in as a new lister.

So if you're confused.....think how confused I am.

Keep woking.....Cher

Another thing about Sheldon is that he has one of those extremely
animated/versatile "periscopes"...he is always larking about ladies'
bloomers with that 'scope, ya gotta be careful, it's flesh - coloured.
