I dont think there is anything better than a really good English Restraunt serving proper English Cuisine --which are few and far between these days--any comments?? |

I do like a good steak, but you've got to stick to the UK, US, Australia or New Zealand for those. I avoid any buffet food since my food poisoning as it's a breeding ground for bugs. We have a great Indian in the village where we eat quite often, everything is cooked fresh for you. A lot of Chinese food I find very salty and I'm no lover of rice. |

Reheating rice is also a problem if the spores are present. Rice ideally should be eaten straight away and never left to stand at room temperature for even the shortest length of time. Most cases of food poisoning after eating Chinese food are caused by the rice and not any of the other ingredients. I won't eat rice I can't afford to nearly die again.

I am aware of the fact that rice has it's problems, but that doesn't make it dirty and quite often the problems associoated with cooked rice can be averted, by microwaving it. For your information there is a rice often referred to as 'dirty rice' but John has made a statement that I would like him to explain, or maybe edit if he accepts that he could be wrong, so as not to provide wrong information for followers of POE. |

Had to delete a lot of unwanted irrelevant nonsense from this thread. Chinese is the fave treat in this household James, though we like the occassional Indian too, which the missus cooks to perfection |

However there are now strict guidelines to what can be called a Cornish Pasty- it has to be made in Cornwall, be made of locally sourced produce ( not from over the Tamar ) and to a strict recipe AND no never crimped over the top- the "handle" has to be on the side. ENJOY. |
