Spanish Oinion & English Chedder I won't eat Cheese any other way Sakura :)

Except Cheese and Onion Pie at Saturday Lunch :)
 
Onion Pie

Alf - I have never had cheese and onion pie although I know someone who used to make them by the dozen for the Church Fall Fair. What do you put in the middle of the pie? I know cheese and onion but how much and is there anything else? She used cheese slices but I never fancied that.
Maybe I can make one for Sunday lunch. :smitten: :smitten:
 
Onion Pie

Sorry Rod, I should have changed thread not just topic as this still came up under the Uplands and I know you like to keep topics seperate. :D
 
Thanks John for keeping us on the straight and narrow O0

Looking forward to hearing Alf's recipe, I don't think I have ever seen it in the stores here. ::)
 
Thats wot I had every Sat lunch playing darts at my local The Chase in Erdingto ^-^
 
Had cheese and onion cobs for tea last night. I will only eat good strong cheddar, but I prefer cooking onion rather than spanish.
 
That always makes my mouth water Rod, I just love cheese although we don't get the good English cheeses very often. Mmm  :smitten:
 
Spanish Onions? SPANISH ONIONS??????
You'll be talking about Garlic bread next.

On a near related note I was driving behind a Marmite Tanker today..imagine crashing into the back of that bugger and being Marmited to death..oh yuk!!!
 
I love garlic bread, Kandor. O0
But I don't remember having it when we were young or even before we left England.
Was it popular years ago and we just din't have it?
 
Garlic Bread is very popular these days but we never had garlic at home and before Brits started holidaying abroad it seemed to be associated with the French people mostly.
You can buy garlic bread with the garlic spread on many different types of bread now
or make your own spread.

I first saw garlic bulbs when my brother's friend Mick, who attended Moseley Art School
and liked to cook came to our house to stay bringing with him garlic, packets of long spaghetti wrapped in blue paper, tins of tomatoes and oregano. That opened up my eyes big time since spaghetti came in a tin with Heinz written on it back in the late l950's
to most Brummie homes I imagine. .
 
I grow Garlic for my Sons and also give it away

I'm really to old to take it it hurts when I eat thats the truth
 
That was the only way I remembered spagetti as well. Jenny

We make our own garlic bread most of the time.

We like it made with french bread. For anyone who has not tried it and I can't believe there are many, we slice a french loaf long ways and spread with margarine or butter and then sprinkle with garlic powder. Put under the grill or in the oven on high until it is lightly brown. :smitten: :smitten:

Watch it though as it will burn if left.
 
I'm the same as Rod,i love cheese and cooking onion it's the best the hotter the better :P
 
When I worked at Francis Nicholls in the market area one of the men used to bring
Spanish Onion sandwiches for his lunch on a regular basis. No cheese just the onion
between two pieces of bread spread with butter. He gave me one once to try and it was delicious. Not a very sociable sandwich though!
 
:angel: I Love cheese and onion (any kind of onions or Shallots), Hate tinned spaghetti, Love the long freshly cooked spaghetti, love Marmite / Vegimite and cheese sandwiches or on toast, Hate Parmesan cheese or Blue vain cheese, Love garlic at any time with just about any food ( I mix crushed garlic into a table spoon of butter or marge and spread my bread with it or my meat steak).

Pom :angel:
 
I don't like marmite but love bovril and cheese sandwiches. It all started with school lunch boxes..... cheese and onion, just cheese, cheese and bovril loverly couldn't get enough :smitten: but then once a week my mum thought it would be good to pack me off with ready made jam and banana sandwiches :( by lunch time after rattling round the box for a few hours :-X no way.

Gizmo, thats my way of likeing, cheese and marmite(not bovril), or marmite and crisp sandwich, yummy,cheese and onion sarnie, yummy, and it has to be cheese/onion/potato pie with smoked bacon. :P
:flower: :cat:
 
A friend of a friend crumbles oxo cubes over thier meals. Even when invited out to dinner, they will have a cube in thier pocket.

YUKKK.
 
When I started work we would all take a packed lunch and eat it in the office, mine was always cheddar and HP sauce. O0
 
When I used to pull coffees at the 'La Boheme", a bloke used to come in every night, order a lemon tea and he would take out of his pocket, a plastic bag with a spanish onion in it and....wait for it......SUGAR!! He would then sit and eat the onion like an apple and keep on dipping it in the sugar. When I asked him about his unusual habit, he told me that he had been doing it for years and had never had a cold since he started. (I don't think anyone would get close enough to give him one). He swore by it though and said that he used to catch every cold that was going around, but no more.
I remember when we used to go horse riding up at Clent, and when we had finished, we would go into the pub next door and have a pint and a ploughmans lunch. Great big hunks of cheese, crusty bread and as much onion as you wanted. Fantastic. Cant remember the name of the pub though. It wasn't 'The Fountain'.
