    Poutine

    From a Canadian of French heritage - Your poutine will be much better (IMO) if you put the curd on the fries first and then pour on the gravy. Beautifully soft gooey cheesey goodness!

    If you want a real treat post-pub add a scoop of cole slaw to the top. I'm not kidding and you have to try it to believe it.

      I know. I insulted the Canadians about the band Rush a few years back, and now I've screwed up their national dish. I expect blokes with sealskin coats and baseball bats at my door any minute now...

      That would quite probably be a literal deathmatch if any non-Scandinavians were involved...

    Curds first, gravy second...

    And for a true French Canadian Poutine get the Frommage Beaucronne cheese curds that squeak when you squeeze them. If they don't they are not fresh.

    Post Pub?

    My local is opposite an indian takeaway (and next to a newsagents, forming a pretty good drinking trifecta). My local also has liberal views on the consumption of food not purchased on the premises, they'll even lend you the cutlery with which to consume it.

    I trust medical science is making progress with body transplants, yeah?

    I remember...

    1. Deep fried battered mushrooms, chips and a pickled onion or two, but it was a long time ago and that chippy is long gone now. Sadly.

    2. Fried hogs pudding, egg and chips. Lovely!

    Best Chips.

    Par boil (or even microwave) your Pommes de terre, fronch because this is Haute cuisine – right, slice and deep fry (let them cool first), best way to get crispy chips that are soft and fluffy inside.

    Also has the advantage that you can prepare the Pommes de terre before you go to the imbibing emporium and cook them quickly after you perambulate towards your abode in an inebriated state.

    Isn't "parvo" a virus that dogs get?

    And how do I stop reading that as "poitín", possibly the very thing to drink after drinking?

    designated fryer

    My preference is to buy the post-pub early-death meal-deal ready-made from the nearest all-nite take-away establishment (usually involves chilli sawwce, as it happens). This is for two reasons:

    I'm extremely lazy and, maybe more significantly,

    Pissed-up people, fryng pans or ovens in general don't mix well in my experience. If you're lucky, it's just the eyebrows/ashes/fringe that get totalled but not necessarily - flat or terraced house dwellers may also want to reflect on the third-party implications of that for a moment.

    So, unless there's a house mate/guest who's the designated fryer and has opted to remain sober (and why /on earth/ would there be?), this whole intoxicant-fuelled cookery masterclass thing is a recipe for disaster (geddit).

    That's enough hyphens - it's Pub o'clock. Cheers.

    Try a kapsalon...

    In The Netherlands we have the infamous "Kapsalon" - it's even got it's own English wikipage:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapsalon

    One of those after a night out - or even before, during AND after - can't be beat.

      I do like how Kapsalon and kebabs

      are served covered in salad - are the consumers in denial, or something?

    Put it all in a bucket, and have another bucket on stand by.
