mackerel works, it appears. Fish once again is my bitch.

Potatoes, on the other hand... :growl: I firmly believe the native americans are laughing at us. LAUGHING. They turned out okay, but stabbing the damn things to see if they've boiled is fucking frustrating and boiling takes forever. Let us not mention trying to fry after. Turning golden. HAH.

Boiled spuds take 8-12min, depending on the type of spud (floury ones cook quicker than waxy). Frying take quite a long time - a good 20min, turning them over every couple of minutes - and the spuds need to be dry before they hit the oil. You need to leave them to steam in the colander for a while.

only if we add Abercrombie as well... except you wouldn't get me touch that brand with a bargepole.

ta. the recipes all seem to think that knowing how long to boil potatoes is intrinsic - I grew up on mostly rice and pasta. I've peeled with the best, but last night was first attempt at cooking the things.
