Looks tasty but I'll hold off on scoring until I've seen the rest of it.

Oh by the way. Why is there ketchup in the background?

Mint Sauce is suitable for ALL meat.

When feeling a little flamboyant, I also add it to fish.

Agree with the first point. I go for a carvery most Thursday's with my mum and they often have mint gravy which is absolutely amazing!!!

Mint gravy and cranberry sauce are fantastic with beef and turkey.

I'm sorry to say that Eck's is an excellent effort. Would rather rip into it!

-1 would like more gravy

-1 something green would be nice

8/10

bobalike....

-1 for weeds in the nice looking planters up the steps. Standards in telford are clearly slipping

-1 for haphazard cutting of pitta bread

+1 for sheer effort, attention to detail and number of photos in the reportage

9/10.

Will have a word with 'er in doors about the weeds. Telford! I don't think you could have offended me more!

Agreed about pitta bread. Was just too much in a rush to eat it

Thanks

Bobalike's effort:

Pittes look like proper floury textured ones. Ones that you buy from a Greek bakery and not Supermarket ones. +1

They look cut just fine but -0.5 for posting on a forum a greek meal for a bunch of foreigner baked bean eaters to judge a proper kebab Smiley

-1 for the slight burnage. Would have liked to see the meat raised a bit higher over the coals.

-0.5 for the lack of accompaniments. No dips? No halloumi? No bourkouri/klitharaki?

When I bink the main I will be round to drop off the readies and try the next effort Smiley

Cheers Cos. It was more a case of putting too much charcoal in. Only had this bbq for a couple of weeks.

All the extras were on the table, Tzatziki, tara, houmous, bourkouri and loukanika.

Your welcome anytime bud.

This looks like an excellent dinner that I would be happy to eat. That being said, there is acres of room for improvement, some of the scores being bandied about on here are laughable, especially Tighty's 9/10. he must be a very inexperienced eater.


Now for some realistic marking.

First, the good.

Meat looks ok, reasonable portion size ect. + .5

Roasties look decent but nothing special.

Carrots look really good. +1

Now the bad.

Yorkies-  Dry and brittle looking. one bite and they shatter into sawdust. even if you add gravy it wont help. - 1.5

Meat overdone but it's difficult to tell because of the overly dark gravy. (Too much browning imo) - .5

Too little gravy, no gravy boat for topping up. - 1

No peas.  (FWIW Sunday dinner peas should be the kind that you soak overnight with a soda tablet, but no peas at all is unforgivable) - 1

No cabbage. (dark green cabbage with bacon fat could be worth a whole extra point)  - .5

No cauliflower  (Cauliflower with cheese could be worth a whole nother extra point)  - .5

No mashed potato. - 1

No cranberry or apple sauce. -.5

No bonus veg like sprouts or roast parsnips - .5

Small, slightly boring plate. - .5

Small overall portion size. - 1

No beverage of any description. - .5.

No cutlery. - .5

Assuming a starting point of 10 that leaves us with a grand total of  2.5/10.

I sincerely hope the standard improves from here on in.

Used to like this guy ^^^

Can assure you two things.

The roasters are special (triple cooked).

The Yorkies are nowhere near brittle, if you can get home made yorkies to be as brittle as you describe I have no idea what you are doing to them.

I am now dying to see your and Doobs' efforts. I expect his to be of restaurant quality and yours to be served in a trough..
