Does anyone know if it needs to be a dough hook or would a paddle attachment work? I used to use the "K" paddle with my mixer, i found it mixed it together faster. I thought the dough hook was useless, though I guess it depends on how sticky your mix is. Mine wasn't sticky at all. Quote

Carpbell3 Posted November 30 Report Posted November 30 Cooking curry from scratch, got the base gravy cooking made from fresh veg all blitzed in the blender, spices cooked in gee, chicken sitting in a nice tandoori rub to be added later, even make my own naan breads, fry a bit of onion in gee and add it to the finished rice, love that fresh smell of all the base ingredients simmering. Should be a mild madras when finished I would normally finish it balti style in a pan but I think I will add the meat to the base for a more one pot traditional style curry. I know it will be delicious either way. jh92 1 Quote

Not a problem. I can help that painful lobster tail or crab claw by dipping it in soothing warm butter, with a hint of garlic.

Is it the taste or the idea of eating them? A lot of people are put off by how they look & what they eat. They are kind of like the insects of the sea so I could understand that point of view. 7 hours ago, buzzbomb said: Not a problem.

Me too, but I'm a fan of prawns/shrimps, lobster, squid etc. for some bizarre reason. Love a piece of battered cod from the chippy, trout very occasionally & that's about it. Quote

I love prawns, shrimp, crab and squid as well as other fish, although I rarely eat farmed trout or salmon as I don't like farmed fish and how and what they are fed. Freshly caught bass, thornback skate, cod do go down well. Skate with nutmeg mashed potato, carrots and broccoli and a cheese sauce. Bass and cod I fillet and fry in the pan with onions, then whatever potatoes, except chips. In fact my favourite fish and chip shop fish is battered plaice. emmcee 1 Quote

I couldn't believe the taste difference from fish I'd caught to shop brought/ chip shop fish. Also plaice is one of my faves. Hopefully bag myself a nice bass this evening 🤞.

A beach walker came up to ask have i had any fish. I had the worm in one hand and the hook in the other and said to the guy last time I baited up was in 1986 not sure I can do it 🤢 He laughed and I just got on with it. Got a pouting on the worm knocked the fish on the head and put that on a bigger hook and catch a small conger. ..but for a moment I struggled. In the past had no problem with peeler or hardback for smooth hound or live bait I could never eat a lobster, crab or prawns, ok with fish and the best tasting one Iv had is pollock, which was on the bbq within 30 mins of catching it yummy ! emmcee and elmoputney 2 Quote
