I like my chilli quite hot, so you will need to be quite brave for this one. The lads at the NMBS seem to like
it.
1 packet of good minced beef
1 tin Kidney beans
1 tin of plum tomatoes
2 red chillies
2 oxo cubes
half teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 Large Onions
Fry the mince and brown and drain off all the fat. Then added the two large chopped onions and cook til soft.
Add the tin of toms - cut up, add the beans. Now chop the two chillies and deseed or not according to taste. Leave
for about 2 mins. Add the oxo and the cayenne pepper and simmer for about 5 mins stirring occasionally. *Top Tip* if too hot for your taste squirt in some Tomato Ketchup or Red sauce as they say in the
NMBS.
Serve with rice, tacos or Doritos. Nice with Cheese, Sour Cream, Salad and Jalapeno Peppers.
Chilli con Carne - Done! |

What you need for the NMBS version on Coq au Vin is a large chicken first and foremost - but remember that you will
need a cooking pot and lid big enough!
1 Large chicken or chicken portions will do.
1 large bottle of cooking wine - the best ones are the cheap French ones in a plastic bottle - no need to buy good
stuff.
2 Large Onions
2 Large Carrots
1 Large Leek
1 tin of baby mushrooms
4 strips of bacon
Peppercorns
1 bay leaf
assorted herbs that you may have around (thyme, parsley, sage)
Few knobs of butter
Salt
Right. This is the NMBS Way. Chicken in the pot.
Add the veg (obviously peeled and chopped to your liking) pour over half the wine, add some butter and season. Leave
the Chicken to take the wine for a few hours or best over night. Whilst the main chef is not looking other NMBS members
adds more wine, the next day the wine has all gone and possibly another bottle of wine has been added. Throw into oven
till tended and cooked. Add Butter at end to glaze the sauce
Cock au Vin - Done! |

Perhaps the most controversial items on the NMBS menu would be Horse. But please we weren’t eating Trigger
or Black Beauty - Horse to the French is like Beef to us. So it had to be tried and to be honest, Horse is quite tasty
(I am sure my sister will kill me when she reads this)
Some good Horse meat.
Cream
Peppercorns
Butter
Cook the horse to your taste - I like well done, so does Kev.. Lance likes his blue....
Cook the cream in a small pan with some juices from the frying horse, add some whole and cracked peppercorns.
When cooked pour over the horse steak.
Horse - Done! |
