Well, I'm talking more about gravy like what you would put on potatoes than an actual sauce. Just meat gravy. It's really easy to make, no need for cheating. You just add some water to the fat drippings and make a slurry to thicken it. Season it up a little with spices of your choice. You can even add wine to it.
I never knew how to make a broth or gravy before lol, I'd use that. (and yesterday evening... I was wondering how with my dry A' chicken). I cheat for Chinese food because; I can I'm fussy It's one more thing to enjoy about this town; because of it having that shop, I can cook take out. I know how to make fried rice too, that's something a video on YouTube taught me one day.
UK Chinese food... We don't have Lo Mein just Chowmein. Curry, is big in British culture and UK Chinese food has a dish that I like called Chinese Chicken Curry - This supermarket is supreme for enabling me to finally get it right after a lifetime of trying and failing at home before the sauce came into my life lol.
The shop is called Wing Yip (not UK Chinese food), UK Chinese food has differences to US Chinese food which both have differences to Chinese food in China too..
You should check out London one day. I'm pretty much rooted in Soho and Croydon to the south in London.. All the times I see London on TV and in the movies and in the news, I like it because it's a part of me and I know it. But really, honestly and truthfully, there is no other place like it, like if NYC was put in Western Europe and given it's own identity with Monarchy and Beef Eaters and London Busses and Cabs and Theatre and Soho (Like Rolling Stones/Jimi Hendrix Experience/The Who/me ) right, I love this place, which... Also is adjacent to Chinatown in London. Yeah... Curry is as British as Virgin Atlantic is. Curry was invented in India by Brits stationed there and they shipped spices to the new world. Spain also did this, the Spanish made Goa in India a Christian people and replanted their spices and chiles in Mexico.
Do you have teriyaki beef and chicken wings? Those are a couple of my favorite Chinese food appetizers!
Also, we have Thai curry but, I'm not a fan or the red or the green ones, tbh. Love Chinese curry though. I heard Japan has their own curry in Japan. - It's a world wide thing thanks to India.
Teriyaki's Japanese and, yes, we do. It's at this place I like in Victoria Station, the sit down one up stairs that have bowls on a conveyor belt does, but, places too and my favourite supermarket food (M&S) has their own chicken teriyaki meal for the oven & microwave 'is long' (as well as their own line of sushi).
Chinese sausages are the best food ever. They taste like beef teriyaki but they don't get stuck in your teeth!
Okay, you got me at Chinese sausages... We have chicken wings plenty here across cuisines except Indian (for some reason) but... Chinese sausage?
I know a German place that can do a Curry Wurst.. If that's anything. Wurst is like German for hot dog.
English Breakfasts are... Fried bacon, fried sausages, baked beans (from a can) don't argue with it, fried egg, fried mushrooms, fried tomatoes, chips (fries) 'probably fried', toast (either fried of toasted) <- and any combination of all of that. Condiments for breakfast include; malt vinegar, salt (<- my favourites), brown sauce, English mustard 'maybe', and tomato ketchup. I don't fry chips/fries... I buy oven ready ones and use the oven. I rarely do this. If you cook this, it's also called 'having a fry up'. It's also a good way to get fat fast.
I've recently discovered the type of bean used in baked beans... Haricot beans. - and have since sourced them in water, not that sugary baked bean sauce, and I must say "It's good eats..." Toss in a can with meat patties in the oven, and serves with chips/fries (also from the oven).
More for me. lol I like chick peas, if you haven't had this, try hummus, it's made from them, but the chick peas, mmm... I boil these from the can. I've even baked these to get them crunchy with broad beans and butter beans for a side dish/snack - pretty much mix them with a little oil and salt first and then put in the oven.
I think that eating a bean reminds me of what it might be like to eat a big fat bug or somethin I don't really like hummus either. Lol. Again, the texture of it is icky to me.
