We all see it on the cooking programs, if we watch them which its hard not to there 'kin hundreds of them. But Microsalads come off it. If i was served a tiny spig of watercress torn into 4 or 5 along with half a cherry tomato i'd be a bit not goes with these sauces which are wiped onto a plate with a 'kin paint brush! WTF is that all about! OK it may look nice but there's not enough to taste for goodness sake. OK it might be a sauce you use to 'decorate' a plate to make it look interesting but why not buy a 'kin patterned plate and then serve a sauce on it, not a prick teaser of a taste on the plate. I mean what's one supposed to do , lick the plate? For gods sake it pisses me off a bit.
If your going to serve a bit of salad on the plate then make it a 1/4 of a ploughman's for goodness sake, you know, a decent sized tomato a leaf or two of a lettuce that looks like a bloody lettuce not something that looks like its grown on a coral reef, a slice or two of onion, pickled maybe, celery cucumber a dollop of mayonnaise/salad cream/branston/mustard. If you want to be posh throw a few stalks of cress on it, but please dont just give the freaking cress with nothing else and call it a micro salad when all it really is, is a few specks of frigging green stuff.
It aint right y'know it just ain't right!!
that is what you eat when you are in italy, in august and on a diet. or when wacked out o coke and hunger is a dim memory.
actually these dieticians and celebrity chefs and such would do better, advising the animals we eat, about their diets and preparing meals accordingly for them.
Salad, anything less than a plate-full is a garnish, and I'd be damned if I would pay for it.
And the smears and 'drags' of sauce are ok (just) but when you see every bloomin' 'chef' do it on every bloomin' plateful the novelty weras very thin.
Oh, and while cocoa in its raw form can't be decribed as sweet - chocolate is a PUDDING!!!!!! Put it on my fish and I will assume the chef left his glasses at home. I would no more put chocolate on meat than I would put gravy on fruit.
Missy now listen in ....
Step 2) Choose a tobacco. In this how-to I'll be using Old holborn, but I have, in the past, rolled drum, benson & hedges,Golden Virginia and even some pipe tobacco(NOT RECOMMENDED). Or anything that can be bought by a "friend" from overseas.
Step 3) Layout some tobacco on a piece of paper. Although, this step is not MANDATORY, it is suggested so that you can remove any small stems before they puncture your rolling paper and it is ruined! Glance over it and feel it with your hands and remove any hard pieces for disposal.
Step 4) Take a rolling paper and fold about 1/8 of an inch up and crease it. The purpose in this is to let it have a bend for when you go to wrap the paper completely: It just makes things easier.
Step 5) Holding your paper folded slightly by its original crease, fill it with tobacco. Try to make it as level as possible so that your cigarette end up even all around.
Step 6) To roll we use, NOT just the tips of our fingers, but the whole surface of the fingerprint region. Just slowly roll the paper up and down with the middle of your fingers barely above where the tobacco sits to keep it inside.
Step 7) Once we have rolled it SLIGHTLY tight we can use the crease we made to let the paper roll into a tube
Step 8) Ensure the whole cigarette is wrapped into the tube except the adhesive and then lick the adhesive. After licking the adhesive to moisten it just roll your cigarette some more so that the adhesive makes contact with the rest of the paper.
Step 9) This step is not necessary but is suggested. Pinch one end of your cigarette and tear off any tobacco hanging out of that end. Do not pull the tobacco out but rather break the tobacco at that spot(the very edge of your cigarette)! After throwing the broken off tobacco back into your bag tuck in the remaining tobacco using a pen or a key. It is best to tuck in some paper around it as shown in the photo. The reason is the it catches quite a bit of tar and collects there: Unless you want a nasty, bitter taste in your mouth then tuck it in ;)
P.s. Cigarette rolling is NOT the same as rolling marijuana. Cigarettes are best rolled somewhat tight. BUT...

Especially if I got ripped off a squillion pounds for said creation.
