The Texaco Cookbook
This weekend has been one of culinary contrasts.
A few days back I was in Sainsburys buying La Truffe Graisse D’Oie (Goose Fat) in which to roast potatoes; tonight I’m in the Texaco garage down the road from L amazed at the fact that you can buy a whole, fresh chicken there. Maybe all petrol stations frequented by the rich and famous are like this ?
After a trip up the road back to The Ice Box we ended up here looking for something to cook. In an odd cross between Ready, Steady, Cook and Top Gear I wandered around picking up mince, cheese and muttering about the fact that they had no spices before we went back to see if the bolier had given up again.
At least with the cooker on (but turned down to tame it after the pizza incident) the place warmed up faster. With wine, baked potatoes and chilli topped with cheese we ate well at the end of a very relaxed weekend.
Do you think at Christmas Texaco do turkeys ?
