New here. I love to cook and I am looking forward to all the recipes posted and learning new ones. Hoping to share some of mine.

Welcome, Lynnie.There's certainly enthusiasm for recipes and food on AP

[Note: The British aren't allowed to post in this cooking forum. That's because of safety, international harmony, Dorian Grey's strange ideas, and the fact that we eat only curry. So forgive me for not contributing ]

Welcome!

I tried curry once. I was pregnant at the time... got violently sick from the smell alone and couldn't go into the kitchen for a week and not until Sagus had washed the entire cabinetry and walls from ceiling to floor. (True story)

Never could get the courage to try again.

I did just try Beef Wellington on Thanksgiving Day. And it just occurred to me that I got sick on it. (I had the Gastric Bypass surgery to lose 160 pounds successfully, but sacrificed a whole lot of foods on the way, which seems to have included that. )

Fred, does this mean I can't eat ANY English food?

Sher, it is my opinion that a diet of all English food might be the best way of maintaining a weight loss.

Traditional British remedy to induce birth of an overdue baby: have the husband eat a proper curry and breath on the mother-to-be. Works every time.

I do wonder just how English beef Wellington is. Americans have a strange idea of what is 'English' food

I'm 100 per cent certain that Americans don't know curries, in Indian or any other forms, nor,in particular, the Bangladeshi (and sometimes Anglicised as to ingredients) ones

Well, the Recipe provided to us WAS an Indian woman. Sagus is a chef, so I am pretty sure that he would have prepared the recipe to her specifications.

Fred, I guarantee my problem has NEVER been over-due babies. Every one of my kids were born early.. 23 weeks, 32 weeks and 39 weeks. Maybe thats why I got sick on the curry AND had the early birth!!

Well, you are right... French toast, French fries, English muffins... we don't seem to hit on the mark for anything culturally identified.

LOL Dor..

My problem doesn't seem to be maintaining the weight loss much of the time so much as PRVENTING any more UNTOWARD weight loss... which I guess only validates your opinion of English cuisine.
