Things you always order if you see it on a menu

Loaded baked sweet potato (or just a regular baked sweet potato, if that’s all they’re offering)

(I think what North Americans call “lemonade” they call “squash” in the U.K.)

And what North Americans call “squash” the British call “marrow.”

So, I messaged the owner of Leaning Cask in Springdale asking him about locally available mushy peas and he replied immediately that Pipers Pub has them on their pub menu!! They’re on the SouthSide, right on Carson Street.

OMG thank you! I am going to Winchester for the weekend.

Next week when I get home I will definitely look this up!

You are awesome.

The katsu are deep fried breaded pork cutlets

Katsu is one I don’t always order, but if I do, I know 100% that I’m going to enjoy it. It’s the most reliably tasty dish I know of.

Sounds tasty.

Prime Rib, cause I can’t make it at home for just me.

The UK version is usually liver and bacon, which I love, but quite often it’s overcooked and of course the liver ends up hard. It’s not meant to be like that! Needs very short cooking time.

My other go-to’s

Smoked salmon
Garlic mushrooms
Scampi and chips (proper British chunky chips, not those skinny US things)

or screw up the gravy

I make Liver & Onions & Bell Pepper & Bacon. In fact, I made it yesterday.

First, I fry a strip of bacon. Then I add a pat of butter to the bacon grease and sauté the chopped onions and peppers (and sometimes mushrooms) to translucency. Then I plate the onions & peppers and fry up the liver—just a couple minutes on each side, seasoning as needed. Then I hold the cooked liver in forceps and slice bite-sized strips onto the plated bed of onions and peppers with scissors. Cut up the bacon, too. Add mashed potatoes and peas and mix it all about till it resembles a pile of glop (hey, taste trumps aesthetic presentation). Top it with a dollop of Bisto beef gravy, or equivalent.

Cleanup? One pan. Done and dusted. And it’s not just tasty; it’s a great source of iron! Just a heads-up—if you’ve got gout, maybe sit this one out.

And not a bad price, I have to say! So: back here in the home of fish, chips and mushy peas, if you went to The Gardeners Arms in Ardingly (as a frinstance - just a pub we know), we have:

Beer Battered Fish & Chips, tartare sauce, garden or mushy peas, triple cooked chips, lemon £17.75

Makes the Pipers Pub sound like pretty good value.

And that reminds me - The Gardeners Arms used to do kedgeree (sadly no more). If I ever see that, I’m having it.
