A "Supper Club" in England - too funny!!

[Kuvy]

Somehow I'm managed to avoid getting anything done tonight by searching for trifle recipes online for the past 3 hours.
:o
I HAD to share this web site site with you - it's hilarious!! Make sure to scroll down to the photos they posted.
(hmmm... Hogback potatoes actually look really good...)

:D

[memartha]

Well that made my sleepless night! I love it! What a group.

[valchemist]

that is really funny!

if anyone has a few minutes, I encourage you to check out that supper club report for a laugh.

thanks, Kuvy.

[gabbyh]

Oh my gosh...too funny! I sent the link to my friends that are from UK...

[maizeyoats]

That was sooo fun Kuvy.
Did you try one of their trifles??:D

[Varaile]

Oh fer fun!

...and the lamb didn't feel like making the jump from the fridge to the oven! Too funny! :D

Thanks for sharing!

[Peggy]

What a fun group of people! I love their rating system... quality versus effort. We may need to adopt that system with my Supper Club!

[Kuvy]

And so glad you did. That was hysterical!

[dcornelius]

That was great!!!!!! I loved it! Sounds like they enjoy themselves to the max every time they meet!!!! I like the reviews and the rating system. Far more involved than our dinner club!

[SteveAGreen]

Glad you like the site.

We are meeting again tonight. It is a traditional scottish night tonight - 'Burns night'.

Minutes should follow in a week or so.

Steve Green

[valchemist]

oh how cool!!

a "celebrity" posted on our Bulletin Board! :) ;)

can't wait to hear the report on how the supper club goes. I will try to remember to check out your website again soon.

Thanks for your post.

[sneezles]

What a hoot! Can't wait for the review of the Burns' Night menu!

Just thought I'd share Burns' Address to the Hagis to get us in the mood for Burns' Night.

TO A HAGGIS
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great Chieftan o' the Puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm.

The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o' need,
While thro' your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.

His knife see Rustic-labour dight,
An' cut you up wi' ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!
Then, horn for horn they stretch an' strive,
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
Bethankit hums.

Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi' perfect sconner
Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view
On sic a dinner?

Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Thro' bluidy flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll mak it whissle;
An' legs, an' arms, an' heads will sned,
Like taps o' thrissle.

Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o' fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if you wish her gratefu' pray'r,
Gie her a Haggis!
ROBERT BURNS 1759-1796

[Heidi]

Oh my, that is hilarious! I want to be in that Supper Club. :D

[pes]

ROTFL! I thought our supper club drank a lot ( sometimes, the wine is much better than the food!), but now I know we're not alone.
Thanks for the link!!

[sunberst]

oh how fun!

[SteveAGreen]

We had a superb night for Burns night.

Take another look at our site.

www.ohmygodtheycurriedkenny.org.uk

loads of stodgy scottish style food with lots of pictures. Hope you enjoy the new minutes to meetings 16 and 17.

Does anyone else do something similar?


Steve Green

[Heidi]

ROFLMBO! Loved it :D

Valchemist, you got a mention--be sure to read it!

[AzAnne]

Too funny, reminds me of Bridgit Jones Diary :D

[lakelady1]

Does anyone else do something similar?

Steve, my friend, NO ONE ON THE PLANET DOES THINGS LIKE THEY DO IN THE UK. Which is why we are so delighted with your web page. And don't understand your comedy shows.

Where are you (and the club) located? My darling daughter and her husband flew off today to Lakenheath for 2-4 years (he, of course, could be deployed to parts unfortunate as soon as they land).

[maizeyoats]

oops...
this is val...at mom's house.

gotta go login as myself.

thanks, heidi. I read it. no brain scan needed here, LOL.

[linsleyd]

They are too funny! Can I offer myself up for membership in their club?:D

[HejazSunKat]

This is the web equivalent of 'Must See TV'. Right up there with a Rumsfeld press conference. Keep the date: Next meeting March 29th! Can't wait to read the minutes Steve! :D

[SteveAGreen]

Next meeting tonight.... Theme is traditional Indian curry. Anyone want to be quoted in the next set of minutes????

[HejazSunKat]

Allright, this proves I have no life and very few sources of entertainment - it actually crossed my mind today that Steve's group has a get together tonight and I started looking forward to the updated website. :o

[valchemist]

I love Indian food!! Wish I was there. Can't wait to see what you guys do to this...oops, I mean do with this...meal. ;)

[maizeyoats]

but I want to know what the beverage of choice will be with Indian food....surely it must be alcoholic they would not resort to tea!

[adrianna68]

Can someone please help a computer illiterate (me)?

I am trying to tell a friend of mine about this site, but when I type in ohmygodtheycurriedkenney.org.uk I get an error. The only way I can access it is to click on the link provided on this thread. I want to be able to tell others...please help! I LOVE this site! I want to hang out with this group SO BAD!

[Canice]

Are you remembering to put in the http://www part first?

you don't have to "type" anything. just go to the website. highlight the whole URL address. right click with your mouse and select "copy." then go to the email you want to send to your friend and right click and select paste. that way, you won't have to type anything and you will be sure to have the correct address.

[Kuvy]

SteveAGreen/SMacG:
So how was your dinner tonight(last night for you lot) ? America holds its breath in jealous anticipation.
Also, I'm dying to know how you got wind that we were on to your Web site...

;)

[Canice]

Yes, yes! We are waiting in eager anticipation!

Better answer, Val! (looks like she was putting a superfluous "e" in "kenny")

[sally/oh]

I needed and good laugh and this SURE provided it.

[Plano Foodie]

I loved reading the whole page, but really got a laugh out of this part under Any Other Business.

"Congratulations repeated to Kevin N. on his erection and thanks to Hon Pres for the opening ceremony".

Sounds like a fun club!

[Kuvy]

This sent direct to my e-mail from Steve:

"The evening went very well from what I remember - a lot of alcohol was consumed and the food was as always superb.
There will be a delay to the minutes as one of the members lost their father suddenly due to an illness. The funeral is today. Once things return to normal, we will issue the minutes.
I have a script that runs whenever the site is viewed, that gives me information on readers who have visited. Basically I can tell how a reader found the site. It can tell me what was entered into a search engine (I think we mention this sometimes in the minutes) and also where they come from. We saw a number of visits that came from the cooking light site so took a look.
You lot seem as mad as us from some of your entries. I like some of the notes under peoples names such as 'Life is a cabernet'.
Expect the next minutes to be issues in a week or so."

[valchemist]

thanks for the update kuvy!

[Kayla]

That is TOO funny that they can see who and from where people visit their site...

:) Maybe one day we'll all have a get together - Brits, and CL's all around one big table ;)

[SteveAGreen]

We are back !!!!

The minutes to meeting #18 have been unleashed on an unsuspecting global audience. Many of you even get a mention.

Apologies for the delay. Next meeting is on May 4th (May the 4th be with you). Star Wars?

Enjoy, and keep in touch....

Steve

[maizeyoats]

Oh Boy, Steve! You bet I'm marking my calendar.
When are you going to invite some Yanks to a meeting?

[valchemist]

thanks for the update on your website, Steve!

this was a favorite quote of mine from the minutes:

...A classic chicken dish. As you know chicken is still regarded as a bit special in India as it is more expensive than other meats. Why, we don't know but it could be that catching a chicken in a field is a little more difficult than catching a cow. So we have a supply and demand affect. However it could be that the cow is more difficult to catch, in which case we still don't know.

if any of you haven't checked out the minutes yet, you are in for a treat. here is a link to the most recent meeting's minutes.

http://www.ohmygodtheycurriedkenny.org.uk/minutes18.htm

[Peggy C.]

Thanks for the link Val, they sure seem to have a good time! Little do they know that we're all going to organize and crash their next event!;)

[SteveAGreen]

www.ohmygodtheycurriedkenny.org.uk

[sneezles]

Wonder what the menu would have been had the Yanks shown?!? :p

[maizeyoats]

I didn't know they were expecting us to "crash" the party. I was waiting for my formal invitation.

[maizeyoats]

I just hate that this REALLY funny thread is being over-looked by all the silly poll threads. SO THERE!!!!:p

[valchemist]

bumping up for the weekday crowd.

by the way, what ever happened to Kuvy?

[Terrytx]

Thanks for the bump-I forgot about this. Too funny, I'd love to meet those people.

[SteveAGreen]

The minutes of our 20th meeting are here.

http://www.ohmygodtheycurriedkenny.org.uk

No doubt you get a mention somewhere. I make sure you always do. Feel free to conact us.

Enjoy

Steve

[valchemist]

another enjoyable and entertaining read!

thanks for sharing, Steve. :)

[Kuvy]

This is so completely hilarious - especially the "low-fat" vs. "high fat" cookoff.
They have no pride!!! (in the best possible way :D )

1187 hits since last reviewed from 794 different people showing statistically if you are once sad you come back for more.

Also -

it seems that the Yanks have gone quiet.

Take a look you guys...it will brighten your day!

I wish we could do something with them - like swap recipes and cross-post reviews on each of our Web sites?!?!

[Canice]

Glad you bumped this up, Kuvy! Coincidence, too, because I sent Steve an inquiry Sunday night... this must've gotten burried on a Sunday morning :o .

[Alethea]

Thanks for bumping this up again! Had forgotten about it, but love their site!

[MISSINDI]

You know, some of the dishes actually look pretty edible. How 'bout including some recipes on the site so us Yanks can recreate your dastardly deeds over here? :D

[SteveAGreen]

The Minutes of our 21st meeting are now available. Delay was caused by young fingers deleting hours of work.

Many of you get a mention this time.

Enjoy.

[claire797]

Why did it take me a year to open this thread? As they say across the pond, "Brilliant!". Thanks for sharing.

[Kayla]

Marvelous! Thanks again, Steve :D

Love the pictures...

[maizeyoats]

but, Steve, my passport and relevent documents were ready and waiting. I guess my invite was lost in the mail (perhaps due to an anthrax scare).

[Terrytx]

Thanks Steve, always fun reading you blog and the food looks great:D

[cher48603]

I don't know how I've missed these postings either. What a great group!!

I've bookmarked www.ohmygodtheycurriedkenny.org.uk so that anytime I need a chuckle, I'll know where to find it.

[TerriS]

Oh my gosh I love it! Can't believe I didn't see this till now.

[Shirley Panek]

Wonderful as always, Steve, but is there any chance we "**** Yankees" can steal the baked custard and brioche bread pudding recipes?

Pretty please? (supplicating position) :)

[MISSINDI]

"As for Pickle Nickle's Mom, I think that you are Miss in di point! 'actually look pretty edible,' cheeky little toe-rag."

Oooh, oooh, I got a mention! I'm blushing...

I second the motion for the request for both the Baked Custard and B&B Pudding recipes... copyrights be darned! They sound like just the ticket to warming our bellies in this cold Northeastern winter. As having lived for several years in Woking, perhaps I can be counted as "one of you," long enough to waive copyright infringement... c'mon, whaddya say?

[SteveAGreen]

After a delay caused by the reluctance of the Barbados cooking and excise department to release a certain recipe, we have now released more minutes!!!! Tell Shirley Panek it was her fault as she wanted the recipe.
Hope you enjoy.

Steve Green

[Schmee]

I have never seen this thread before but I really wish that I had. Sounds great. Unfortunately,every link that I clicked on came up "error,cannot find site,etc" Wish I could see it!
I really want to send the link to my friend who is living in London right now.
Any help Steve?

[SteveAGreen]

Paste the address

http://www.ohmygodtheycurriedkenny.org.uk

into your browser. If that doesn't work let me know.

Steve

[Schmee]

Nope,no go.
I clicked on it,copy and pasted it,everything I could think of. Anyone else having a problem?


I really would love to see it:) :) !

[Clover]

Hmmm, a long-awaited update from Mr Hanky and friends and I can't open the page. Haven't had trouble before, but now I get "connection failure" or "can't open page after 60 seconds." Agog to find out what you've been cooking and whether curries have gone up or down.

[valchemist]

I was able to open it with no problems...

[Schmee]

I was able to open this one up this morning,but I don't have much time to read it. Hope I can access it later when I have time!

[syzygy]

Opened fine for me, too.

Thanks for the update. Now that we've gotten the secret to the Brioche/Butter Pudding, how about posting the recipe for the slump?:)

[Clover]

I can open it this morning also. Thanks for the recipe!
