Tonight I cooked..........

[ViolatorOfVirgins]

Chicken thighs Schnitzels (cheated ones; I've used crushed cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs as I've forgotten to get them off the shop) with barley cooked with a bit of beetroot and garlic; together with some sweetcorn and pickled gherkins. All of it covered in a mushroom sauce.

That barley just looks wrong.

haha, it's a Kaszotto (a world play, which I find funny, of word Kasza /milled barley/ and risotto) that you can get in every Polish shop in the UK. it cost a quid or so. While it looks... intensive it's also bloody (pardon the pun) tasty

Not a fan of risotto, it's just savoury rice pudding.
Doubt I'll be eating it, ever.
I do use pearl barley in soups and stews though.

well... I can't force you to try it, but it's tasty. not like a risotto though.
and there is a version with mushrooms as well.

A cheat tonight, Waitrose beer battered haddock with mushy peas.

The batter was excellent but the haddock was only average, still, it was a bodge.

Had a long service award dinner at the Park Hall hotel today so tonight's meal was something quick, simple and classic.

Fish fingers, chips and beans.

The only place barley should be used is a base for a good ale.

Point of good practice. The fish fingers should be in a sandwich. The chips ditto. Beans (preferably curried) as a side dish. Washed down with an ale of your choice.

The fish fingers did go into two butties, the rest just got scoffed.
Point of order - don't tell me how to eat my scoff!

Love haddock and mushy peas, silver onions not so much.

One handful.
Toes to match?

In place of rice with a good curry.
