Which DW character would you most like to be and/or meet?

[Perestroika]

if it is, I am soooooo jealous.

admitedly it's almost 2am and anything potatoish is going to have to wait till at least breakfast, but still.

annoyingly I can't make my own roeschti because I am a considerably inept cook to even grate up some potatos and fry them in the swiss style.

I can do roast dinners though.

so providing I'm feeding Rincewind and/or a bunch of barbarians I'm fine.

 

[Chris]

I get the impression Rincewind wouldn't be a picky eater

 

[Perestroika]

Swiss beer would put an end to it if he was. my baked to a crisp potato raklettish thing would look good to anyone after enough beer.


and I fear I've given the impression that I'm a bad cook, which I'm actually not, at least my husband says so, though he might just not want to hurt my feelings...

but I just can't master certain dishes like grated potato in a pan...

What goes wrong? I presume you get an over cooked gung on the bottom of the pan?

 

[polythenegirl]

This is actually really hard! I'd love to meet the witches, especially Nanny Ogg and go for a drink with her - i think it could get fun! But I also love Sam Vimes and would love to meet him and his son. Then there is the wizards, and Nobby Nobbs, and Death... Ahhh.... this is tooo much *head explodes*

 

[Prolekult]

I'd be DEATH. MUHAHAHAHA. And then I'd like to meet Lady Gaga.

indeed...and most of it sticks to the pan and it doesn't taste all nice like it does in a cafe...

 

[Dotsie]

I'd quite like to be Sybil, stamping all round the house in muddy boots and tweed. And I'd like to meet Carrot, because apparently to know him is to like him.

 

[ChristianBecker]

That can be arranged, I think, without even having to find the Diskworld.

Edit: Oh wait, I read "It'd be death" and thought you wanted to meet Death.
Things are a little clearer now (especially why you'd like to meet Lady Gaga.

 

[Chris]

You might want to do that the other way around!

Has anybody mentioned CMOTD yet?

Sorted. Tried it and what you need to do is rinse the grated potato in clean water. When you grate a spud you bust open a lot of cells and the starch gets out. It's that starch that ends up in the pan stuck to the bottom. I went a step further and partially dried/cooked the grated spud in a roasting tin in the oven while I fried the bacon in the butter (and a small diced onion). Mixed the fried onions and bacon into the now 90% cooked grated spud. Put the mixture back into the roasting tray and added grated Emmental across the top. Popped that back in the oven. Then grilled a Salmon fillet and steamed some Asparagus.

A great success

I would like to meet Sybil and her litttle Dragons.

Carrot wouldn't be high on my list, I personally felt he was too good to be true, but maybe that's the point?

I wish I were that innovative!


I think that there are certain discworld characters I'd love to 'seee' not necessarily meet and spend time with...
Nobby is a prime example.

No, I think you wouldn't. Not afterwards, anyway. I think you'd wish you could unsee things.

I think with Nobby you'd definitely want to approach from upwind

 

[Perestroika]

when I say I would want to see, it's the sort of seeing you want to do purely because you've heard so much about their overwelming unsightlinesss, that you've just got to see it to believe it.

 

[poohcarrot]

I'd like to meet Pretty Butterfly.

I like wimmin with attitude.

Ponder to talk about hex =]

Vetenari all the way!
