Delicious comeback recipe. It never went out of fashion in our house – Lovely 🙂 I’ve never heard anyone call it a shrimp cocktail!
The most pretentious way food was served to me was clarified butter formed into a candle and it melting into a fancy candle holder which contained some sauce. You were supposed to dip bread into the butter/sauce mix.
Love this Prawn cocktail! I also love your jumper which is not the point of the video but I just thought I'd throw that in for good measure.
Love your animation. Great vid. Thx.
We used to serve it on a soft bun in the restaurant I worked for at the beginning of the 00s
Thank you again Titli 😊
I remember that was a posh starter served in a tall glass. Memories of fine dining in a Chinese restaurant!!
Yummy! I have never had it that way, just the American way with horseradish, ketchup based sauce. I still buy it in the store. They sell a great wheel of shrimp with a container of sauce in the middle and i eat it all by myself.
FACE-HUGGER COCKTAIL!
When I was on a trip we had wagyu beef served under a cloche filled with smoke and rosemary but it was like a tiny amount of beef and what looked like twenty dollars worth of rosemary and I always felt that was a tad wasteful! Wonderful recipe as always Titli!
This was a long time ago but I remember a dish that was served on an edible dish that was actually ment to be eaten. Which made me think why can't I eat the bowl and this doesn't add anything to the dish. Was sadly disappointing due to the fact the dish itself was actually pretty good
Same in US, shrimp cocktail is out of fashion! But it's such a simple, lovely thing to have and not like the fried appetizers so popular now. Also in the US the cocktail has horseradish in it to make it a little spicy.
Wasn’t me but I’ve seen a video online where they serve food in actual discarded toilets
I love your videos. they are like antidepressant 🥰😘🤣
I really look forward to these Sunday releases.
Wor-sester-shire – I see what you did there 😄😄😄😄
Growing up in New England shrimp cocktail was a essentially on every appetizer menu. It still is!
This is still our Christmas dinner starter in our family! Love it
My daughter had a weekend job In a steak house where you cooked it yourself. They gave you the raw steak of your choice and very hot stone to cook it on. She said many customers used to burn themselves. Overcook the steak, which is a sin. Unsurprisingly they went out of business. Stone Lounge was not a hit.
Your right Titli it’s vanished. I live in SoFla and we can have shrimp/prawns year round relatively well priced, but very few places offer it on their menu Even on the beach side of town.
❤❤❤
All of the wild and wacky serving dishes have blended into one in my mind, flushed into a void, and none particularly stand out. Lovely recipe.
🎵Thanks for the memories…🎶 I served shrimp cocktail to Bob Hope back in the day …
(when dinosaurs strode the earth…)
Yay!! Prawn cocktail!! My whole family is absolutely nutty for it! 🤣🎉 The most ridiculous way I had food served was literally a metal bucket filled with ribs…afterwards you threw the gnawed on furred bones over your shoulder or under the table. It was medieval knights style! 😂
driftwood LOL! Although this version sounds delicious, it's much different than what you'd get if you ordered "Shrimp Cocktail" in the US. Ours is served with a tomato sauce much closer to marinara with a splash of horses radish thrown in.
This looks delightful! I am not always one for sauces on my seafood, but i could see how this might be morphed into a stellar shrimp or seafood salad. Must try!
Fish chips and mushy peas on a chopping board and the peas in a little ramekin. 😂 I wonder what the soup would have been served in.
Dear Titli you could also add some diced ripe avocado! tastes wonderful.
Oh my God I mourned you. I am so happy to see you posting. I love you.
