Greetings from the House of Burgundy Uncle Geoffrey , we hope you enjoyed Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday and Valentine's day . Yes we had undyed naturally smoked haddock as we enjoyed our valentine's day meal . We enjoyed our pancakes and we were exhausted entertaining The Duke of Wimbledon who has arrived . We took your advice by including a barm brack as part of the expected visitor cake . Bobby Buttons the Fourth admires you greatly. I shall return to my bottle of cider .
Very nice we love this sort of food fora light supper but I do make it veggie by adding some vegaterian ham or quorn chicken it's good with the eggs.. Nice Geoff 🥚🐔🍗👍💋
HI Henrietta. Oh yes it would make a nice supper. Of course spicing can be adjusted to suit tastes as well. I keep mine fairly lightly spiced so I don't blow my head off.
Ive never tried this dish. I love yellow fish usually with a knob of butter. I'll be giving this recipe a go on a smaller scale 😊 Thanks Geoff, another dish worth trying 😋
Hi Mary. I have seen some Khichdi recipes, which is a forerunner of Kedgeree, that use moong dal which is a split version of mung beans, but chana dal(split chick peas will work too. In both cases I would soak the dal in water for an hour then discard the water before cooking the dal with the rice until soft.
Hi Alan. Yes certainly pre-Victorian, as I mention in the video it is probably based on an Indian dish from the 1300s. Although recorded in Scotland in the 1790s its' popularity as a breakfast dish seems to emanate from Victorian times.
Thanks Geoff. I will make this as I love Kedgeree. I'm wondering about your haddock being yellow because of the dye you say. Did you mean your fish is coloured with artifical dye. I buy haddock which is also very yellow, but it says on the back that it's yellow because it coloured with Turmeric. Thanks again for this recipe. Kind regards. 😃
Hi M G. I hope you enjoy it. My smoked haddock was coloured with curcumin(turmeric) and paprika extract. But I prefer the un-dyed haddock. When growing up I only ever saw the dyed version and assume the colour was obtained during the smoking process. But I guess not.
We should say ,that the Duke of Wimbledon has departed ....after a period of recuperation. We now present ourselves to you and some catch up on your recipes .your loyal subjects .
Hi Caz. Fish is traditional in kedgeree, usually haddock. Sometimes salmon is used these days. However if you mean can you put something other than fish in I think that would be fine,, maybe some cooked chickpeas, with the eggs chopped too and mixed it. Meat is an alternative as well, of course.
@@caz12345 I don't like fish either, except cod and haddock. All the others have too strong a flavour for my liking. Chicken, lamb or beef will all work well.
