Gourmet!

All you connoisseur's of fine food??,I am looking for the recipe or formula,procedure call it what you may,for that good old early morning or the day after breakfast 'kidneys on fried bread'yes I kid you not,or to give it the old Naval terminolgy Shi'ite on a raft.

Its just my way of spanning the years,dashing through the drill shed in Eastney barracks making sure that no provost about! queueing in the main galley to be confronted by that delightfull dish 'Jenny Wren' grab it while its hot Royal,eat it and beat it, scran at its best after a bootneck run ashore.
I have asked the 'Chief' cook to participate in this culinary delight,but get the usual reply 'dont bring your bootneck Ideas into my I'M A SCAMMER SPAMMER!!!' ah well it will after be out mess tins flash up the hexamine cooker and retire to the bottom of the garden.

So your answers please,and no typical Cornish humour El-Prez.Aye jr

Oh and before you go all ballistic,I know its kidney and fried bread,but its the preparation of the dish I require. :fadein: :fadein:

Got my dad on the case JR... he will only have the recipe for a full crew at 30 metres so you'd best be good at long division and cooking at depth!
I was brought up on stuff like this... he still has a fryup most mornings as it sets the day for him and then dinner is not needed. He does still have up spirits at 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1530, 1600, 1700 and then the bar is open for all ranks
Apart from chef, he is also the Rum Bosun...

This is the civvy version but I don't have a clue how to make the Hot Bread that has a crunchy outside and soft and light inside...

DEVILLED KIDNEYS

2 teaspoons Worstershire sauce
2 teaspoons ketchup
1 level teaspoon English mustard powder
2 ounces butter, melted
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Salt
Black pepper, freshly ground
8 lamb's kidneys
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Mix together the Worstershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, 1 ounce butter, cayenne pepper and salt and pepper.
Clean the kidneys by removing the outer skin and cutting away the core.
Cut each kidney into three or four pieces.
Heat the remaining butter with the oil in a frying pan
and cook kidneys for 4 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
Pour the sauce mixture over the kidneys and stir for 1 to 2 minutes to coat the kidneys.

Nice one Sticks I knew I could rely on a Submariner,I do believe it was one of their favourite breakfast's along with the old train smash?.Aye jr

Up spirits and cooks to the galley

Add a dash of brandy to Stixxxxxx recipe and you have Hair of Dog meets Kidneys.

Top post, Sticks ref yer Dad`s method of timekeeping
Shit on a raft can also use mince instead of kidneys Jim. Key thing is the skin on the kidney, get rid, soonest. Use Sticky`s method as a start and play about with it till you`m `appy Notice he doesn`t use garlic
Elmer calls this dish, Shit On A Shingle(with mince) and I had a great version in the States called "Huevos Rancheros" (cowboy eggs)
Cut a two inch doorstep, rip the middle out of it and place in cast iron frying pan,
when toasted one side, turn and chuck some of last weeks chile in the hole,
stick an egg on top and when egg is cooked, bollocks to everyone else, eat it straight out of the pan

Peel the kidney and cut it away from the core...
Fry the kidney like liver, nice and slow but it will cook quick, in butter and seasoning to taste. Add a bit of water and then bisto or gravy granules and keep stirring until it bubbles and thickens, you can add more bisto or flour to make it thicker.
Serve it on FRIED bread... toast is for ossifers and birds! Little fat, high heat and fast fry, no fat is soaked into the bread.

All from me dad

This could lead to 'Royal's' best food guide and the best nosh outfits on the Great Globe.
Think back to all those grotty chinese food emporiums nasi-goring wrapped in a banana leaf,curry hot enough to cause skid marks 20ft in length. and now the good old UK Government deem it neccesary to tell us what to eat and what not to eat.I wonder if anyone has thought of putting the ingredient of a survival meal on show?.

Okay who's going to start off with the makings of a Nasi-Goring I have'nt had a decent Nasi since leaving the Far-Flung. I've got the Wok ready and the Mrs is traveling down to the West Country for a few days 'Whoopeee'
All your best recipes invited,I know all this has been done before best eating places best Scran. Aye JR

[El Prez]

Just for you Tiger.

My version...
Boil the rice and rinse it in cold water, let it go cold and drain.
Fry some chopped bacon in a little oil and drain off the oil when half cooked, add some chopped onions in a little butter and carry on frying.
Add some sultanas, chopped garlic, soy sauce, ham and anything else that'll fry. Once cooked whack up the heat to thermal nuclear explosion and add the rice and a little oil... add curry powder to taste and fry for 2 minutes... sorted!
