Men who cook.

[Chippy_boy]

Cooking while pissed is very dangerous to be honest, and I wouldn't do it now but I don't think I was never that pissed, the whole culture in kitchens 20 years ago was different to now, 3 or 4 pints throughout a shift to take the edge off the pressure, and a good session after, couldn't do ot now though at work would get sacked. Still have a gass of port or beer when doing the sunday roast for the family

Yes, the "wake up from the coma and go to bed, completely forgetting you've left the food cooking" is not the best technique, I find.

Good luck, but you won't need any! It might sound a bit complicated, but really it's a doddle:
Fry the veg; fry the meat; boil off the liquids; add the tomatoes. Simple.

Thanks mate will defo be trying that'out

Like the OP I started out of necessity - am the eldest so one year found myself at home when the family went away for 2 weeks - my lads piss up was yet to happen. First time alone I ran out of stuff to have on toast - couldn't iron clothes and shrunk stuff boiling it in the old twin tub washer so when mum came back demanded a crash course in domestic survival.

I found I enjoyed cooking - its my "edible yoga" at the end of a hard day - so now self taught not half bad if I say so myself and means I get to eat what I like / want when I want also the Mrs is a fucking terrible cook and admits it so we are a match made in the chippy ha ha

I'm decent at cooking but sometimes feel as though I'm not meeting my potential... I guess it depends how much I can be arsed with it! After work when I've got a shit ton to do at home I tend to slap together any nonsense as fast as possible, but when I have plenty of prep time I can mix something up that brings a tear to my eye.... My Japs eye that is!

A lot of chefs can be tempremental from my experience, worked with a lad who was on a scholarship with gary rhodes, said he was the biggest arsehole he'd ever met.

Tbf in my younger days any one us in the kitchen could be complete dicks at times, but I put that down to half being coked up while the rest (myself included) being half cut throughout the day.

When I was a apprentice refrigeration engineer we went into a kitchen at at big brewery and I had to find the boss.

I noticed a big guy so sauntered over and asked

Are you the Cook?

**** went mental

Cook? Fucking cook, I'm no a fucking cook. I'm a chef

Me

Calm doon ya fat prick.

My journeyman.

Eh Magic, son, go sit in the van.

Some of these chef cunts only get away with it because pricks let them away with it.

When the job was finished my engineer came back and started giving me it tight, are you fucking mad, we get a lot of work blah blah.

Ten seconds into driving and he burst out laughing and scuffed me on the back of the head.

Arthur was his name and we became pals. I drove him mental at times. :)

Tbf chefs who give out shit don't mind taking getting it back, and yes some get very touchy about being called chef, normally though that is reserved for other chefs/cooks in the brigade, never bothered most though, tecnically only the exec chef is a chef or a specific skill, we are all cooks but some chefs are full of shit.
I had many a delivery driver I have argued with and for everyone I called a prick I got called one back, thenvwould see the same driver next day and it would be "alright mate", there was always a level or respect but the drivers knew a late deliver could ruin a service and at the se time we knew the poor guys were probably getting the same shit at every drop.
