Toby Carvery, what do they put in their mash?

[ins0mn1ac]

As title, had Carvery last week but I was totally clogged up with man-flu but I just remember the mashed potato tasted amazing, despite my taste buds not really working!

Can anyone tell me what they add, or better it?

Potatoes?

 

[alexakasloth]

If it's anything like the Mitchell and Butlers (who own TC) pub I worked at then it came in preprepared.

 

[R.O.S.S.I]

Probably just a shed load of butter.

 

[PapaLazaru]

Butter and cream one would imagine. I don't know if they are putting vanilla extract in theirs like a lot of other places are doing now.

 

[ins0mn1ac]

I could taste a load of pepper, with I think loads of rosemary but there was something else I couldn't recognise, but it was amazing.

Vanilla extract doesn't sound very nice though! :/

 

[alexakasloth]

Could be nutmeg? That goes great in mash and bechamel.

 

[DirtyJester]

Potatoes?

Yes but not any old type...

 

[Gogl]

Quite possibly horseradish sauce, but if you should try it be careful because it can rapidly go from 'just a little more' to 'too much'. Oh and man flu screws up your sense of taste so much that quite possibly the only way to revisit this tasty dish will be to become stricken once again. Alas man flu is all but intolerable just once in a year.

Yes but not any old type...

Lol, rude veggies far too easily amuse this simple mind.

 

[Natwee]

Water and stir I imagine.

Water and stir I imagine.

Sounds Smashing...

Salt, proper butter and cream because everything tastes better with a large dose of these.

 

[Dokinator]

I thought it was cheesey mash....But I know I love it whatever it is

 

[A.N.Other]

Who knows.

Properly mash is done thusly ... (potatoes), milk, butter, cheese, mixed herbs, salt + pepper, touch veg stock powder.

 

[Malevolence]

Whenever we go for a carvery, usually The China Gardens in Etruria, I never have the mash. I always pile on the cauliflower cheese instead.

 

[MikeHunt79]

Mustard

 

[randomshenans]

Jizz and broken dreams?

 

[jackthezipper]

Sugar

Arrrgggggghhhhh you may have just opened the 'How do you mash yours' debate that will last 500 pages and turn into endless tirades as different people insist they are right and you are wrong.

For you information you are wrong cheese has no place in 'proper' mash potatoes, mixed herbs are for people who don't know what they want or can't make their mind up and veg stock powder eugh surely you know only home made stock will work for anything other than sub par school dinners
