Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

iturama - may i suggest you buy yourself a really good, non-stick oval sautee pan ..... they're not easy to find, especially good quality
a decent-sized and fresh (not frozen please!) dover can take a while to cook right through as the flesh is pretty solid, so (personally), while the fish is resting, i'ld cook the tomatoes and capers (and parsley perhaps) in the remaining pan juices
for the fish itself, i just dredge lightly in flour and then cook in a mix of butter and rapeseed oil ....if your pan is non-stick, you won't need much "grease" .... in any case, rapeseed is a very good and healthy medium and will not taint the fish either
enjoy with a bottle of decent sauvignon!

Sounds nice. I like to add butter to the oil for the flavour. That is more or less Sole Meuniere. The tossing in flour prior to cooking makes it Meuniere (the way a miller's wife would cook it). Classic accompaniment is pinned vapeur (boiled potatoes)

I use ground nut oil. I have added a little butter but found it unnecessary. The oil and tomato juices are sufficient. At least for my taste.

Peanut oil. I don't put tomatoes or anything in. Just cooking it in butter with small amount of oil to stop butter burning

For those who live in the south east, and other places before long,
and those with children in these schools should start worrying...

if you're worried about your health, then worth comparing the various elements in each of the oils .... beloved tells me that rapeseed is best, but for myself, i don't really care

I use a mixture of corn oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil and drop a small amount or a smear of butter and allow the latter to caramelise on fish or steak.
The oils of the latter potentise the flavour.
But that doesn't allow for the harmful effects of burning or over-heating the base oils.
At my age, I couldn't care less.

PS.
Consider the quantities of oil and derivatives ingested.

Well it seems a huge decision has to be made by the Prime Minister and her entourage as far as a third runway is concerned...building a third runway across the widest section of motorway in the UK (comparable to crossing American interstates like round LA, San Francisco, Miami,... to put it in comparison..).....Blimey !.....it won't come cheap !......I still favour a massive (estuary airport/thames crossing/new thames barrier)...(all three in one development) plus spaceport and fast rail to London and Europe with connecting motorways.....I know it's ambitious...and there is a crosswind factor that has to be resolved... ! : ( total without exaggeration £100 billion)....(of course payable in a trillion monthly instalments)(what's that... amongst friends ? but a pittance...)...but longterm : probably the best solution as Heathrow could become housing/parks/an industrial zone close to London and higher shard type buildings in London.....hmmmm....what makes me think they are going to plummet for a second Gatwick runway somehow ?....a political decision perhaps keeping most people happy and not upsetting another future Tory term in office....

No.
This government will need a referendum to decide what to do next week.
Bring back Cameron.
A man of decision!
LOL.

With Germany’s biggest bank teetering, a private meeting of major investors in London yesterday discussed offloading their assets in the troubled financial giant.
The potential collapse could trigger an economic catastrophe in the EU with Deutsche Bank’s holdings worth two thirds the size of the entire German economy, 25 times bigger than Northern Rock which set off Britain’s 2008 financial crisis when it collapsed.
With a rearguard of so called “Remoaner” MPs try to delay triggering Article 50 and getting Britain out of the EU, a report by thinktank Global Britain has highlighted that unnecessary delay could cost that taxpayer billions.

rosie - 74043 - the counter argument, that has some validity, is that parliament is the elected body of the people and is there to safeguard uk democracy.....
therefore, how should mps vote?
should they vote according to their conscience, or their party or (in this instance) how their constituency voted?
in the last scenario, i wonder what then would be the result

cynic I see your point , but if that is the case then ever gov as one elections on less than 40% of votes so the system must change , so that ever voters vote counts which it does not .
a referendum vote , which is for in or out is fair and does give ever vote the same chance .
so the general elect votes in the uk is not true democracy
