Hey, I was criticized when I tried to help out the guy. Then he
thanks you and implies that no one else tried to help him. I was
offended. Why on earth you got on my case, I haven't the vaguest
idea, but ... whatever ... as they say.

Can't make tomorrow! I have a client meeting in Paddington from 11 and
it's bound to drag on, plus the tube will probably collapse while I'm
getting back. Possibly Thursday?

I thought originally Cittie of Yorke, but the Tudor building is across
the road and I'm sure doesn't have a pub in it.

Don't get me wrong, i appreciate everyones replies. There just seems to be
a lot of other private conversations going on in this thread!!

And i have taken a look at the Salad Shooter, and it does appear to be my
only viable option, assuming i can get hold of one in the UK.

Thanks again

It is called thread drift, which *always* happens, and is a feature of
usenet. There is nothing anyone can do about it.

(laugh!) Welcome to rec.food.cooking. But in this thread all I said
was there is this Salad Shooter thing. I didn't expect to be on the
receiving end of hostility when I most certainly was not hostile.
Electric cheese grater, that's what came to mind, Salad Shooter.

You're very welcome, Dan, good luck on your search. I do have to say
that the manual ones with the handle looked pretty easy to use, but
obviously it's up to you.

No, it is further down than that. Opposite the Pru , near MacDonalds or
some such place. Does pies. Can't remember the name. Don't know why I
said the Tudor building. Very unobservant.

Probably The Melton Mowbray then, a Fuller's Ale and Pie pub I believe
(from http://www.beerintheevening.com/).

Isn't the whole concept of an "electric cheese grater" kind of silly?
Whoever heard of electric cheese?

AOL. Mine's 8' x 6' but I reckon I'll squeeze a FP in once I get round
to buying one. It can live where the unused deep fryer presently
lingers with intent to remind me of money wasted.

My deep fat fryer lives out in the 'very useful once in a blue moon'
cupboard these days, though it once got use fairly frequently. For
chips, I use oven chips (low fat ones), but just now and again there are
things you cannot cook that way - like those deep fried milk dumpling
things the Indians do...

Regretfully, there are loads of things which might be useful on
occasion which I refrain from buying as, with such a small kitchen, I
must be ruthless.. A mandoline certainly falls into that category.

Can you do tempura in them? Weekend before last we did a load of veg, as
well as fresh prawns and scallops, for dinner after seeing Jamie O doing
them on telly not long before.

The best was the sweet potato and the mushrooms.

Tonight we had freshly made chunky vegetable soup, then steamed salmon
fillets with salad.

This was a present many years ago - about 20! As it IS occasionally
useful, and me ma give it me, and I do have the overspill space, it
stays. Many other far less useful items have gone!

With a sharp knife, and a food processor for vast quantities, I've never
felt the need for a mandolin - and way too much potential for me to
slice a bit of finger into the dinner!

Yep - I did that once in the days when I still ate fried thing. Long
gone now.. Like the gall bladder! I make very occasional exceptions to
fried food, but do need to be careful.

To me that sounds much nicer than the fried stuff! The fish kettle
gets a lot more use than the fryer!

Our mandolin, Borner, with chip and thin chips blades is very well used,
and merits space on the *wall*, which puts it in the came category as the
the coffee jar.
