Another thing is buy a coriander plant and just keep it on the window sill Bless ye, mate. But; I can't get to a Tesco (I'm practically house bound, fukk all to do with silly covid shit. Way it is.) And I have One, small, south facing window in this place. Dogs cram themselves onto that. Plant wouldn't stand a chance in hell. I'm sorry but, I Do, occasionally, try to outline these little gremlins, in my posts of this sort. Please don't ever think I haven't considered 'the obvious' before throwing one open to The Massive Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Sid and Gnash! Please!!! I'm having quite enough trouble, keeping my eye on so many responses, and crawling through so much spice ... (So Much Spice!!! I'm like a junkie in a pharmacy!) Sid; That 'Wholefoods Online' place ticked about every box! Thank You So Much! It's also just about blown the entire budget, Again! FFS! But, I don't care! I'm about passed all that shit now. You're obviously a Connoisseur though, Sid. I'm a headless kiddie in a sweet factory. I'd petition your guidance, please? Below is my initial / basic shopping list of stuff. Probably because this sort of shit's about all I have left in life? I chatter away to fill my own, daily / nightly void. 1. I'm working Only from " Al's Kitchen " recipes. Because, if I start looking at every kunt out there? I'll simply have a stroke. I Need simple instructions, to follow to the letter. 2. I'm buying, basically, the smallest amounts offered. This is because 'Neil' told me, above, to always try to stick with 100g. Buying 25g may be costing me way over the odds. But, I have No Idea what I might end up using by the Kg. (Think; Kg of Ground Coriander Vs. Kg of fukking Bay Leaves! An example even I can come up with. 3. Could you, please, just run your eye over my shopping basket, below. Anything you immediately think; 'Whoa, no! You're gonna use a shit ton more of That, in Any curry!' A Kilo of Fennel seeds seems a bit over kill? What's your view on all this 'Fukking armful of fresh cut Coriander in Everything'? I Cannot source, or grow the shit. I wouldn't Want it, as a 'Garnish'. What is the median line between leaves and stalks, and a given measure of powder, please? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ted Newgent 4,896 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Fresh coriander chopped and added to the final dish is epic i chop up leaves and stalks and throw em in coriander seed or powder is no substitute they need to be added at the beginning of cooking Edited November 12, 2020 by Ted Newgent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Damn, Ted! That is Not what I wanted to hear! So basically; When Al' tells me to do 'A,B,C' and expect D?
