same, they fed us powdered mashed potatoes. I couldnt stomache mashed potatoes until a couple years ago, but now when properly seasoned i can get down with a mash, even sometimes still they make me gag.

The HAB eps were the last of the old Aphex Twin "feel", imo.

they way i do it is not like that though.

first of all you need cream. plenty of cream.

then good butter. again, plenty of it.

then spuds. coming from a country which has more words for spud than eskimos have for fucking snow, i can't stress how much influence your choice of potato has on this recipe really working. you don't want any sort of breed that are faggoty small little things, or anything waxy. anything you would consider using in a salad is right out too. you want big massive potatoes, ideally covered in dirt when you buy them. the sort that you have to cut up into quarters cos they're too big to fit in your puny pot. the sort that turn into balls of starchy hot lovely floury goodness when boiled.

you also need

some nice shallots, finely chopped

small, strong white onions (the smaller they are within reason, the better. you want ones that make you weep like a girl when you're chopping them), finely chopped

a large, mild white onion. a cat red one is fine, too. finely chopped

plenty of garlic, finely chopped

a parsnip or two, peeled, boiled, roughly mashed

if you have any other boiled veg left lying around, that's cool too.

i don't always use cabbage or kale in mine but if it's lying about i will.

i have used turnip, carrot, sprout, you name it.

anyway veeeery slightly fry the shallots, onions, garlic

and boil your massive, chopped potatoes (use a big pot and boil a lot) until JUST done. then drain completely, salt, toss about in the pot and leave to sit for five minutes, covered. this will make em delicious and floury.

then, erm just add fucking loads of cream and butter and parsnip and oniony shit and whatever else, it should be slightly pungent and the consistency slightly softer than mash

not so much a recipe as a concept lol. but fuck me colcannon is good

good butter cream and spuds are what you need, and we are good at that shit

What's that line sampled from?

its either autechre or boards of canada, cant remember right now...

YOUVE BEEN DUPLICATED

fucking mashed potatoes with green beans on top. love it or leave it.

sausages + mash with butter and cream and baked beans

viable substitutions:

SAUSAGES for

a pork chop OR

bacon AS LONG AS YOU ALSO HAVE

black and white pudding

BEANS for

garden peas OR

mushy peas AS LONG AS YOU ALSO HAVE

a nice onion gravy

that is comfort food.

thats what im talking about

theres a pub near me that only sells sausages and mash and gravy

they do a big range of sausages

a big range of mash

and a few gravies

you can pick n mix

i cant believe i still havent sampled their wares

a sweet dive into a pool full of mash potato... how fucking good would that feel eh!!?

 

 

edit: or sand.

i'd imagine you'd sink, sufocate/drown and then die

thanks for ruining my day asshole!

monster mash in edinburgh do the same. great idea!

sausages and onion gravy taught me how to enjoy mash. i was traumatised as a child forced to eat nasty grey viscous mash trying to choke and suffocate me and infect my throat and disintegrate my intestines and use my empty shell for it's evil doings. now i love it!

imagine what your shits would be like if you only ate mash for a month. creamed potatoes?

POLL: Why do you hate mashed potates?

READ THE RULES

mash has that texture thats not quite swallowable. makes me gag.

mash with eggs and cream instead of butter an' ting is delicious though

*puts some tatties on to boil*

all i can say is: game on.

i prefer baked or fried potatoes, though i do like mashing up a baked potato

straight-up mashed p-tates fail to impress me 7/10 times

i was wondering where this thread went.

i had some good nonpotato mash last night. Celeriac, Carrots, and Sweet Potato with loads of peppercorns and some other stuff.. maybe some garlic (and ginger?) dunno... i only mashed it.

serve with trout, greek cheese stuffed red chillis and brussel sprouts.

porridge with mashed bananana, ginger, a little honey, and loads of seeds and nuts is the way forward. i had that with a cup of roobois and a glass of freshly made carrot, lemon, celery, lettuce, spinach, ginger, pepper juice for breakfast in bed today.

girls are brilliant
