make her a 21st/funeral platter of coleslaw sandwiches cut into triangles

I'm having a Japanese friend over for Sunday lunch this week, and wanted to make her something Irish, but colcannon is the only (veggie) Irish thing I know how to cook. I'll have to learn how to do boxty.

I do a kick-ass colcannon even if I say so myself, but I'm never quite sure what to serve it with if I'm having a proper posh meal. If it's just me and the youngfella I have it with veggie sausies, but I'd prefer to cook something from scratch for guests. I'm doing a butternut squash roast this time, but that's not very Irish. Any suggestions? (Other than crisp sambos?)

I won't have a deep-fat fryer in the house for fear of being tempted to batter everything, including lettuce.

I just got back from Greece where every vegetarian dish that isn't a salad appears to be deep-fried. My waistline is not thanking me.

Did you have any haloumi?
...fried.

 

[jillface]

Haloumi is more of a Cypriot/ Turkish thing, but I did have some other kind of fried goat's cheese. Mmmmmm, fried cheese..... fat, dipped in fat and fried in fat....

I have served grilled haloumi as an accompaniment to colcannon, funnily enough. It's a good bacon substitute.

That's a great idea-will be knocking that out for dinner over the weekend methinks. The ole falafel AND haloumi kebabs you get in Berlin are fantastic - we need an oirish spin on that one...

haloumi can fuck off.
it tastes like rubber with salt on it and most people i've met that liked it i've inevitably ended up hating.
cunts.

You need to get it onto a very hot griddle and eat it immediately to get the proper texture-crispy on the outside, mozzarella like on the inside. come back to us when you 've gotten over your hump.

Had the haloumi and colcannon dinner this evening. Top notch. Thanks LoLo

I made the best colcannon EVAH with the help of an electric chopper/ mixer I got for my birthday, chopped the onions and kale really fine. Substituted sage for mace cause I didn't have any, and it rocked. Japanese friend loved it.
