The chicken palami lasagne shepherds pie can only be a quarterly experience.

chicken breast, butterflied and flattened
wizz up a 50/50 mix of cornflakes and nacho cc's really fine
coat chicken with egg and roll in cornflake and cc's mix
shallow fry until golden
remove from pan and spread napoli sauce on as thick or as thin as you like (any napoli sauce, just jar stuff)
one layer of ham, one layer of salami
Top with cheese
grill under over till cheese is golden brown and is bubbling a tiny bit.
fukn brilliant... worked a treat, need to fire up a good napoli next time and it will be perfect... jar stuff was just ok, but the chicken turned out so good, cheers heaps Fents. All I had to do was close my eyes while eating and i was back in melb. First parma o/s and a damn good one at that.

Hurr hurr...

The good-cheap places definitely have good food. I s'pose I meant 'good-good' as less of the communal table/wipe-down menus vibe. Nfi about any fancy shit like that, though.

The only time I've been to White Lotus was with a vego mate, who really didn't like the taste/texture of meat. Spent the whole time looking for things on the menu that didn't have fake meat in them :lol:

worst option is the White Lotus special, 3 types of mushroom in a really over powering sauce.
My friend ordered it to take the piss out of non-meat eaters.

Have done the Court House with same group and yes...amazing.
Hellenic a bit casual, thinking more fine dining style...still love it though.
Grossi perhaps, but a vego in the ranks, so probs after something less meaty.

Think I'll push for Taxi...it does look out of control good.
