Happy Hallowed Weiner
Floyd & Son…Me & My Dad.
I don’t know about anyone else, but for me, seeing my Dad on telly, in the newspaper or in a bookshop window for the last 20 years has been a strange, sometimes very difficult, but ultimately enriching experience. In life, we need people to identify with, to validate us, to exchange affirmations, to say “No your bum doesn’t look too big in those leiderhausen”. So, when that fickle mistress Fame comes sweeping into your life, be it directly or otherwise, it fucks with your head man. Chat to mates, lovers, wives-go to any pub, cafe, restaurant, supermarket and I’m sure you’ll be able to strike up a convo about football, women , knitting, kids, in-laws etc. But pull up a pew in your local and say “My Dad’s in the Daily Mail again” or, in my dads’ case “I bumped into that Dame Edna Evarage in Wogans green room again last week” it’s unlikely that the response will be “Me too”.
Anyway the point is all kids want are love & their mum & dads’ approval, and I’ve finally got it from my Dad. I’ve inspired him & he inspires me. So big up my Dad & check out his blog http://keithfloyduncorked.blogspot.com. WORD IS BOND, YO.
It’s Official..M.C.C. is Number One, Numero Uno, El Presidente de la Food.
That’s right, men & women of earth, fellow blog-a-teers, crap chefs & struggling waitresses…We are NUMBER ONE. Read it & weep. Following an extensive survey* we have been voted the funniest, the best & the most popular food blog in Europe (* by my mum)
Cor Blimey Guv’ Owz Ya Father Dick Van Dyke Arthur Askey AND…Bangers n’ Mash
Again, we did this a couple of M.C.C’s ago along with the tiramisu. An old classic- Sausages, mash, braised savoy cabbage & onion gravy…Mmm, as English as an estate agent in a lavender shirt, fat knotted tie & a pair of brown shitflickers gettig out of a new mini. I mean, brown shoes with a dark suit? What’s that about? & if ever there’s a car that says “SMUG”. Beep, beep, pip, pip…F£$k off. I digress…
Tear of my Sue ( Oh Sue, what have you done to me?!) or Tiramisu…
We made this the other week, & instead of Ameretto( cuz I have an allergic reaction to alcohol called alcoholism) I put in a tear from my ex girlfriend. Aaah the bitter sweet taste. Recipe coming soon (please Phatty)
The Season of the Hairy Dog Trumpet is Upon Us…Coming Soon
Enough of the summer frivolity, goodbye long days, tennis, cucumber sandwiches, lashings of ginger beer, white cider, fighting & divorce…And hello the inky blackness & deep soul of the winter. Word.
Coming up, we’ve got Sweet Potato, Bacon & Sweetcorn Chowder and Floy-deez Far-out Fajita Feast to see out the last few days of sunshine.
I’m still pondering on what to do for the next M.C.C. My young apprentice has suggested Veggie Burgers…Why not? Mind you, if someone had even mentioned the word “Veggie” in my cheffing days, they would have been pinned to the door of the walk-in fridge with my Henckel carving fork quicker than you can say “Jaimie Oliver is a talentless tosser”. Aaah, how times have changed. Yourz…The Sense.x
Ch-ch-check-out our luscious “Lime Beef” Noodles
This just got me & my apprentice, Tom, really excited. It’s pretty easy, too, using classic Asian ingredients like ginger, coriander, noodles, soy sauce and some beef, you know the kind of caper…Toss your wok in the air like you just don’t care, & if you got on clean underwear somebody say “Oh yeah”…Check the method…

Spaghetti (South) Western & the Secret of the Lost Scrolls
Last week we went Mondo Bongo Italiano with slow cooked Tomato & Basil sauce, three colours salad & a garlic bread recipe that’s sharper than the creases in a pair of stay-press trousers. Yet, despite our best efforts, the forces of darkness were @ work that night, and the ancient scrolls containing the recipe manuscripts were stolen.At this very moment the M.C.C. is on an Indiana Jones type mission deep in the South American jungle attempting to recover the aforementioned ‘scripts. Wish us luck…MCC Sensi.
“Rugged” Chicken Korma
I made this 3 times last week, and all in the name of teaching men to cook. Oh, the selflessness of it all.(Yeah, alright w**nker…Ed)
Anyroad, it’s proper tasty…For 4/5 peepers you need: 1kg diced chicken, 4 onions, 8 cloves of garlic(good 4 u), 2 thumbsized pieces ginger, 1 green chilli, 1 tin coconut milk, 3 tblsp plain yoghurt, 3 punches(handfuls)dessicated coconut, 10 cardamon pods, 4 cloves, 2 bayleaves, 2 tsp ground coriander, 3 tsp turmeric, 3 tsp cumin, 1 tsp curry powder, pinch of cinnamon. Now check the method…
A cold rush of tomato coulis to the head
Eyes down & watch this space… Like a Star Wars franchise, we keep coming back.

We know no boundaries or prejudice, just passion, flavours & living La Vida Loca.
