h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, you drive on the wrong side, too

Don't make me come over there on my horse with my sword and show you exactly why we drive where we do

Actually, I'm more interested in whether one crushes things *in* a mortar and pestle, or *with* them (or it).

I guess I was pedantically wondering rather than pedantically correcting.

With the pestle in the mortar.

You could get round this by just using a pepper grinder

In the mortar, with the pestle

And if you're coming with a , I'll keep right at it, Sho!


Oh, and this:

Entry: Slow-cooked roast wing rib of beef - A35979259
Author: Pointy112 - U11879875

I've been on holiday for the last week so this is the first chance I've had to update the article.


Changes are as follows:

+ 'diy store' -> 'hardware store'.

+ 'About 6 people' -> 'about four to six people'.

+ Price - added 'at the time of writing, May 2008'.

+ Temperatures now in C and F. Gas marks don't really work - 55°C would be something like Gas mark 'minus 3' or something based on a quick calculation I just did.

+ '180°' -> 'rotating it by a half-turn'.

+ 'tieing' -> 'tying'. I was thinking about skiing when I wrote this, and that has an irregular present progressive form as well.

+ 'in a pestle and mortar' -> 'using a pestle and mortar'. Hedging my bets there.

+ I didn't add using a slow cooker because I don't have one and I will probably never try it. If anyone wants to give it a go and post some info I'll happily add it in though.


Still to do:

+ Expand the 'curing / hanging' information in the 'buying' section.

+ I might cook it again and use a proper camera to get pictures. My mobile phone didn't do much justice to the carved joint, and my cooker was a little mucky in the other shots too (that was from a toffee experiment, which I might post another day ).

Sounds delicious, as is!

You may, however, like to add some variations to entice the adventurous. In my entry "A2715301 Spotted Dick (Jul 26, 2004)", I offered some alternative toppings (provided in Peer Review) and even a veggie version. And, in my "A6756636 Cuban Sandwich - an engineering marvel (Jan 11, 2006)" I provided multiple 'toasting/pressing' methods that seem to have been appreciated.

You could, as an example, suggest they try adding some citrus juice to the outside with the salt and pepper, or add some rosemary with S&P which would be particularly mouth watering. Even a simple rub with a piece of raw garlic could bring additional interest!

Though as demonstrated, a veggie version of this just won't work

Well, for the most part, yes; one would think that this wouldn't really be vegetabley possible.

That's why you'd have to read my entry and it's vegetarian version of Spotted Dick to truly understand!

I kind of want to keep the recipe as true to the original as possible, with just more detail. I'm going to leave the lemon, garlic and rosemary options out, but that's not to say they're bad suggestions.

However since I come from a wiki background, if there's enough requests to add it I'll do it. Consensus rules .

I wonder if the consensus might be that this is done to a turn and ready to serve up

I think so

I've updated the 'buying' section now with more detail about aging and breed (dairy vs beef cattle). I think I'm going to leave it at that now, otherwise I'll just keep tinkering forever.

M

Yep, don't overtinker.

This looks really good now.

This looks pretty much done now

Well done

Well done? I thought it stayed pink with this method?

Bravo, anyway.

It's a rare piece then
