cooking shows

[mrsbrown]

I'm a sucker for cooking shows and now that we've got the TV card working in our media computer I'm indulging more often. We can watch ABC2.

Tonight I watched Secret Recipes and now I want to know more about fish fritters like the ones they made

I reckon there's probably a medieval recipe using salted cod like this and it might be a good thing to eat at Festival, without the capsicum of course.

Whaddya reckon?

ABC2 is also good for live music and other interesting music shows.

And Rose will get to watch that other classic of my childhood

"Stamp and go" named for angry customers, my arse. It's a phrase used aboard sailing ships, one of the rhythmic chants for some kind of work or other, I believe.

I'll keep an eye out for fritters like these in the cookbooks as I go through them. I bet there is something along these lines.

Do you know where to get salt cod? I noticed that Minh Phat had "stockfish" the other day, which could be good to experiment with. It was some sort of cod-sized fish, salted. I've also seen it at mediterranean delis.

"All hands unmoor ship," said Jack. The bosun's calls wailed and
twittered; the Boadiceas ran to their stations; the fife began its thin piercing tune; "Stamp and go, stamp and go," cried the bosun's mates; and in the midst of the familiar din of proceeding to sea Stephen turned from the rail, where he had been staring under his shading hand at the ship lying within the frigate. "I could almost swear I had see that vessel before," he said.

Patrick O'Brian, "The Mauritius Command" (and there are plenty more in the other books).

Careful - there's a horrible modern CGI Bill and Ben that's Just Not The Same. I have watched it with the MGNs.

I've always wanted to find out how to actually make salt cod (in case I ever catch a cod after years of trying and failing), so if you find a recipe let me know.
