SepticSceptic:
Kiwifruta: A few years ago the original Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe was published online. This is the recipe that Colonel Sanders made his famous chicken with, it is not the recipe that is currently used. However it still tastes like KFC to me. Anyway I copied and pasted the recipe and saved it in my Google Drive. For a small fee I can make it available to you.

No, just kidding, here it is.

I’ve made it a couple of times, never bothered deep frying it, instead I roasted the chicken in the oven. The kids still scoff them up.

Thanks for that.

I believe the taste changed significantly when the deep fry processes changed from hydrogenated veg fats to cheaper soy based fats.1980's? KFC lost it's taste and crispyness.

Everything tasted better in the old days what with the lead and dioxins. Damn PC gone mad !

But seriously, dont they use a pressure cooker to partly steam at KFC? Not sure how they get some fried effect as well having never worked in that sector.

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

enfield: You can get pies from Z,they are considered essential.

By pure chance I have a stack of family sized S&K pies in the freezer as one of my kids was doing a school fundraiser selling Renwick Pies. Had some for lunch.

MikeAqua:

I could murder a kebab. So sick of all the wild game and seafood.

We are only 5 days in fella, how ARE you going to manage :)

Perhaps I should post a home made kebab recipe (it's easier than it sounds I think, said having never done it before).

Philly CheeseSteak would probably do a reasonably passable alternative :)

Kebabs are one of my favourite eat-out/takeaway foods, but have never managed to get close when making them myself. I guess it's the Tabbouleh and way they prepare the meat?

Would love to see your recipe.

I don't have a recipe, I've never tried it either, but I'd be willing to find one and see how it works!

To be fair though, I prefer my lamb with more of the original texture of lamb, rather than the big compressed things that some kebab places do.

I had a roast lamb tonight, slow roasted for 5 hours. Absolutely delicious. But the next day in kebabs it just doesn't quite seem as good as the "big compressed things".

Bingo. So did we - whacked it in the oven at about 1pm. After carving, I wrapped what was left and bunged it in the fridge with strict "don't touch" instruction - which pained me to do - but I know what happens.

For kebabs - I'll carve what's left thinly, put it in a pan with some olive oil, garlic, some moroccan spice mix, fry/toss, then let it rest for 5 mins.

(there's a spice mix from a local deli that's good - and a "masterfoods" brand one at the supermarket which isn't as good - but fine under the circumstances - in these days of war rations etc.)

Edit - as an afterthought, I've got some spicy dukkah here - that's probably better to use to than the spice mix.
