This week's 1901 meal

[Beach Hut]

Disappointment if you were looking forward to your lasagne, chips and rice dish as the rice has now been removed from the menu.

OMG "Ricegate" beckons

OMG "Ricegate" beckons

Just a 'cut and paste' editing error on the previous weeks menu I reckon.

 

[Canonman]

All these problems with the food in 1901, why not call in Jamie Oliver? I'm sure he would sort it. Seriously.

I think he's busy with another new series patronising the working class.

 

[smudge]

I don't know how some people get through their match day experience without starving to death. It seems that food is the most important thing about a visit to the Amex.
Am I one of the few who attends without worrying about my gut, and go purely for the football?

 

[Mellotron]

Salt cured beef, Hand carved slices of salt cured beef served with rustic chips & baby leaves.

I love when ALL attempts are made to make something sound posh and worth the money.

"Carved?! By HAND?! WOW!"

I know. It's like when I once saw pan fried salmon on a menu. What else do you fry it in? A bucket?

They'll be "Pan Frying" stuff next, as opposed to all the other ways of frying stuff, or "Oven Roasted" as opposed to roasted in a fridge, or a shoe box, or a vacuum clener bag. In fact, no, I doubt they will, maybe they will offer "Microwave Warmed-Up" Lasagne

TBF - it could be deep-fried.

Or slow-roasted. Or spit-roasted.

As well you know.

But hand-carving does take talent.

LOL nicely summed up! He does have a point and it is a noble quest undermined mainly by the fact that he's so bloody annoying!

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Will there be a demo tomorrow ? Expecting placards with "Rice Is Nice" and "We Want Rice" in all the lounges

slow roasted is still in an oven, and spit roasted doesn't exist, unless it's done in an oven.

... and spit roasted doesn't exist, unless it's done in an oven.

Really? I'm sure that a quick google search will tell you differently.

 

[The Large One]

Ungrateful get. You don't recall my slow-roasted lamb shanks...?

No ovens were used in the making of such delicacies.

Never ungrateful chap, they were lovely, apart from the skelington. However, dictionary definitions and all that,

roast
v. roast·ed, roast·ing, roasts
.
1. To cook with dry heat, as in an oven.
2. To cook food in an oven.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

You can roast with a fire.

Fully deserving of its own chant I reckon:

Posh Spice is a slapper
She isn't very nice
And when she's shagging Beckham
she thinks of Amex rice

 

[Beach Hut]

I shall frequent the North Stand post match and I will instigate an ARS demo if there is no rice available.

 

[Superphil]

You can roast with a fire.

This is correct, and I guess the true meaning of spit roast, but generally at the Amex it's always going to be an oven isn't it? Well, a microwave.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Here you go folks, the lasagne, rustic chips and garlic bread and no rice option. Mmmmm. But what is rustic about the chips?
