Round 2 I must admit with an eight hour lay over in Amsterdam, I would have considered leaving the airport and going on the train into the City. That said what was the position with queues at security when you entered the airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the 2nd part of that that stopped me, that plus getting an answer to any question from KLM or trying to understand the Dutch government's website being frustrating... As is it I'm booked into a sleeping pod for a few hours, hoping that KLM will pay when I go through the official complaints channel. If not, well, it's only money.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprsingly good selection. I've a eaten in that Hawksmoor(excellent), the Poppies fish & chips (very decent but you get way better up North of England). Borough Market is good but pricey, most locals eat from a smaller subset of pop ups further down the Borough High Road, and finally that stall on Brick Lane where he had the chicken tikka masasla- that is superb. Not sure about that Pie & Mash in Hoxton though at Number 5? One for the Hammer @nampla69 to judge the authenticity- he is though clueless on Sherpherd's Pie😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Penevil Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I made tu'hu (lamb stew with beets and leeks), one of the oldest recipes that's been found. It dates back 3,700 years to Mesopotamia and was written in cuneiform on clay tablets. It's part of the set of four Yale Culinary Tablets which list 25 recipes that were served in ancient Babylon. Tu'hu was a fairly simple recipe, similar to modern lamb stew except with different ingredients, herbs and spices. The beets gave the lamb meat a red tinge. I made it with cubed lamb, onions, leeks, shallots, garlic, red beets, beer and baby spinach, with coriander and cumin seeds and fresh cilantro as the seasonings. It was different, but tasted good. I had more baby spinach with vinegar on the side and served the stew over couscous. Back in 1700 B.C., the Babylonians would have used boiled seminola wheat, a distant ancestor of couscous. Evil Below is the start of tonight's supper: shrimp and polenta. I'll post more pics later. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
