Coupla gay mates from my days in the theatre are getting hooked and
have asked me to devise a pink theme meal.

The difficult thing is actually a pale pink sauce that tastes like
something on warm food.This is my solution, here described for the
complete dish I made on trial at home for my family:

Lay out and prepare the ingredients for tagliatelli with chicken in a
white sauce plus a bottle of rose wine and some not too-sharp grated
cheese (I used Wensleydale but Emmenthal will be good); for an even
more delicate shade of pink I used a white grenache that in the USA is
sold in supermarkets as "California Blush".

Wash, cut off fat, slice chicken breasts into strips. While boiling
tagliatelli, brown chicken strips lightly in a little plain olive oil
(turn heat very high to heat oil, then turn heat low, then drop in
strips); at same time make sauce. Start with flower and butter, use
half the normal quantity of nutmeg and mustard to preserve the slightly
sweet taste of the wine. Add milk first. Whisk, bring to boil, thicken.
Dissolve stock cube (chicken is good) in wine. Turn down heat. Add wine
with stock cube plus cheese and heat through without boiling. Add more
wine or milk to make a thinish sauce; the cheese will make it stick to
the pasta. (Note that there is no egg in this sauce.) Add chicken
pieces to sauce. Drain tagliatelli and serve.

This is for a very pale pink sauce, which I rather aptly, considering
its purpose, call "Blush". If you want the sauce a darker pink, make it
with a sweetish red like Mas Amiel.

So heterosexuals only marry in order to have sex. Brillant.

So heterosexuals only marry in order to have sex. Brillant.

Careful with this one....

Homosexuals cannot reproduce.... at least with each other.

Sex is the typical (but not only) means to that end. So, at one very
basic, rigid, one-dimensional level, sex between two individuals with
no potential for reproduction is meaningless. Now as human beings, we
have evolved well beyond pure tropism. We hope. But be careful what you
wish for.

Just a thought.

Generally people 'marry' for reasons well beyond mere sex. Reproduction
(or the potential thereof) is one of the larger reasons. Not by any
means the only one, but when you play the _only reason_ game it can
reach out and bite back. Bite-backs are equal-opportunity offenders,
and a game best not played.

A tiny bit of grenadine syrup does not go amiss and adds a bit of
sharpness to overcome the sugar-sweetness of the wine without crushing
it. About one-half (1/2 tbsp.) tablespoon per 75gm/3oz. of chicken. And
it helps the color nicely. Does nicely with nutmeg and mustard.

Test separately, of course (one drop grenadine to a teaspoon of the
base sauce). It is not to every taste.

Are you insane? Seriously. Grenadine is 50% sugar.

Not much is used, and the residual has quite a snap to it. Clearly you

How very Kroogerish of you. "If only I'd said pomegranate juice instead
of Grenadine, then my post would have made sense."

We call him "Useless Wiecky". This is another example of why. Useless
is always speaking out of turn, trying to pretend he belongs. He's
clearly not a cook either. Sugared-up extract of pomegranate, ugh. Not
in my kitchen!

That's almost always the way the kitchen closet wannabes give
themselves away: they think it is smart to cook with something fancy.
Real cooks use everyday ingredients, but only the best and the
freshest.

When I was a student, before going out clubbing I'd put a dozen eggs
and a bottle of olive oil in a nautilus shell into the ten-gallon
parafin tin with the top cut off that rode permanently in the boot of
my car. In the dawn we'd sober up by diving for lobster off Cape
Agulhas, where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans crash together. We'd fill
the tin with seawater and build a fire of driftwood under it. I'd whip
up the mayonnaise on the spot in the nautilus shell. You had to be
quick with those lobsters or you could be minus a finger. More than one
girl told me that she loved me not so much for my undoubted good looks
and extravagant charm but for this Darwinian demonstration of my
ability to provide a superb meal when all the shops and restaurants
were closed. Me Tarzan... Later I built a holiday house on the exact
spot I used to dive from even though I had an apartment overlooking the
city only half an hour away right next door to one of the great hotels
of the world -- in fact I had a side door knocked into their garden to
shorten excursions to their restaurant. Nostagia is a fine thing, of
course, but I'm only demonstrating that you don't need much to provide
an excellent meal, as long as everything is fresh and of the best
quality. (1)

Which doesn't include grenadine syrup!

Andre Jute

(1) Didn't we once have some poncey art-house film buffs on these
conferences? In all my life I've seen perhaps a single handful of
worthwhile films at film festivals, and of them one starred Robert
Redford (a really good film in which played a halfbreed -- uncommercial
because he is killed in the end) and one was a big-budget glossy French
movie, neither of which actually belonged in festivals among the cheap
dross. The French big-budget movie was uncommercial because all its
characters were unsympathetic and came to a bad end. It was called
Lacombe, Lucien. The most memorable scene was of the eponymous
protagonist chasing farmyard chickens until he caught one; he knocked
its head right off with the stick he carried. I interviewed the
director (whose name I don't remember), who told me the chicken episode
was "both social realism and political satire". I thought it was a
cookery class. Chicken doesn't get any fresher than that!

Brian, you can do this as much as you like, but it makes no difference to
one thing: for the rest of your life, we are keeping you down. This is a
fact of your life from which there is no escape. Your days as a scammer are
over forever. The "worldjazz" and "coralseas" are dead, and we intend to
keep them dead.

As certain brain-dead RAOers are wont to observe, that's an opinion you
get to have. You might be interested to know that my exposure to Jute is
quite recent and short in tenure.

It's not my fault you blundered when you called for Grenadine instead of
pomegranate juice. Your inapt prescription for "bite" was utterly
destroyed by your recommendation to use a heavily sweetened product.
Then you compounded your foolishness by ludicrously claiming that *I* am
ignorant of cookery.

Be a man and admit you were talking out of your ass. No need to invoke
the name of the guy who terrorizes you when in this case it's you who
acted the fool.

It is worthy of note, that among heterosexuals, those without children tend
to have the longer marriages, IIRC.

So while procreation may be a reason to marry, it is hardly neccessary, and
has little to do with how happy and well adjusted the couple will be.

Let's try this again.

Note the original ingredients include mustard _and_ nutmeg. Note that
the original poster stated "1/2 the usual amount of nutmeg" and why.
This is basic chemistry more-so than anything else, and about as
obvious as what happens when tarragon and black pepper are mixed in a
sauce? And why adding a dry, sweet, or worked wine makes a significant
difference to those results? (Do you even know what a 'worked' wine
is?)

So, straight pomegranate juice would turn things pretty bitter in a
hurry, and combine badly with the resinous background flavor of the
nutmeg (one assumes fresh nutmeg, of course). However, grenadine,
lightly applied does none of that, does combine aptly with the nutmeg
and does add to the color, thereby also widening the choices of wine
used in favor of some more flavorful (and dryer) whites rather than
most nearly-tasteless blushes and pink wines.

You will also note that I suggested testing it first. It really is not
for everyone, but the combination with nutmeg enhances that effect
while reducing the sometimes-overly strong resin effect. In most cases,
dry nutmeg is fit only for bad egg-nog and cheap rum.

You really don't cook much, do you?

Half the usual amount of mustard as well, which is half of none at all
unless you want the guests to have 50dB of global negative feedback,
of which the OP would definitely not approve.

Of course the sensible idea is to make your usual sauce and add a drop
of cochineal.
