West coast of Scotland boasts some of the finest seafood in the world.

While this is true, it has little to do with culinary style and more to do with the great quality of sea life.

Yep pretty much the only reason we don't have something like a sea food carpaccio.

I think it plays its part, if you've got amazing produce then you can go with simpler flavours.

HP Sauce on ****ing steak? Jesus christ.

 

[Shri]

You know what goes great with steak? Mint chutney. The green thing that comes with tandoori meat dishes as a side.

 

[Furball]

Mint goes with lamb, ****wit.

 

[GIMH]

HP sauce goes on your breakfast rolls (bacon, square sausage etc)

Tbh you should be put down for putting sauce on steak.

Can go with chips on the right meal. Decent with stuff like pasties etc too. Agree about the steak though.

No, you sack of **** . It goes with all red meat.

Shri's comeback was going so well

Mint sauce is ****. Never understood it's appeal on lamb or anything else for that matter.

Prefer mayo with chips but brown sauce is acceptable if you're getting something like a sausage supper from the chippy.

Gravy goes all right with lamb. I'd rather eat it by itself if mint is the only option.

If you're getting a sausage dinner you've got gravy and need no sauce

If for some reason you get such a meal without gravy though, then yeah

I also prefer mayo with chips.

All kidding aside, the British invented a decent rice dish with Indian flavours. I present to you the relatively scarce known Kedgeree, a rice-fish-egg concoction with curry powder, milk/yogurt, Indian spices, and bay leaves, usually eaten for breakfast/brunch.

That looks nice. You non-vegetarians have it good.

Gravy's often not an option out of the chippy.

Think we're at cross purposes, I'm not talking about home cooking, I'm talking about getting something from the chippy.

Pity the animals don't have it so good.

Do you get south indian food in the UK? Or do the Indian restaurants serve mostly north indian fare?

A lot of South Indian curries are available widely. Vindaloo being the most famous and accessible (too accessible some would say).

Idli-Sambhar for dinner today

Vindaloo is Goan/Portugese, isn't it? Not southern.

No idea whether you have tried it harsh, but find a mallu restaurant and try Karimeen Pollichatu which is a marinated pearl spot fish which is wrapped in banana leaves and cooked. May just be due to growing up with it, but I can't think of any dish that makes me happier.
