Your Friday Moment Of Keef Zen...

[castpolymer]

Keef's attempt at making breakfast for his mates did not end well.

[mlove3]

Maybe that's why Mick is so skinny, Keef did all the cooking.

I believe the fried scarfs where an un-successful prototype.

That actually sounds pretty good. Shouldn't it have mutton, though?

You're right but they can vary. original, I believe is with lamb/mutton.

with beef wouldn't it be cowboy's pie? sounds kinda wrong.

That pic must have been before Phil Kaufman arrived on the scene ... besides being the original Road Mangler for the Stones, he generally did the cooking for the band & crew as well.

Thanks as usual for the Friday Keef pic!

I like Friday Keef zen. Since Ron Wood has been in the news lately, something optimistic.

Cooked this tonight and it came out great - perfect meal for a winter's night. Never had HP sauce before. Thanks Alamo! Just curious, where'd you find this?

Hey Coop, I'm glad it turned out great and ya liked it.
I quickly borrowed Blue Lenas recept because I knew where to find it.

I've tried many variations of it - and I do agree, it's always best in the cold season.

please remember though...
when you're near the Rolling Stones (like backstage)
Don't break the crust! ....until Keith has!

[Coop47]

I have to look around that site more - I always wind up stuck on the guitars page.

My wife and I decided to stick to the recipe pretty closely, except for brushing the top with a touch of cream to help the crust. We'll play around with it in the future: mushrooms, peas, celery - maybe cheese, even though Keith wouldn't touch it.

Again, thanks!

Keith Richards almost cancelled a gig because of a shepherd's pie.

Former Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable - who supported The Rolling Stones on a European tour - was amazed when frontman Sir Mick Jagger warned him he was in trouble for helping himself to a portion of the mashed potato-topped treat before Keith had eaten.
Stuart revealed in his new book 'Demons and Cocktails': "I whacked several hefty spoonfuls onto my plate. Mick Jagger came in and stopped in his tracks and the pleasantness suddenly left his face, 'Who's eating that?'

"He said, 'Do you know the rules? You never, ever, take the shepherd's pie unless Keith's broken the crust first.' He twirled on his heels and said jokingly, 'Enjoy the show, boys. If there will be a show. I'm not sure if he'll go on after this.'
At least I thought it was a joke."
Desperate to avoid a disaster, Stuart was ordered to take the pie back to the canteen to be "recrusted".
He explained: "Luckily, when I got to catering I knew the waitress. She took it back and shook her head slowly and muttered, 'Don't you know the rules?' But she soon went to work on it and re-laid the potato topping making it as good as new, even if it was a little thinner. Major world disaster averted."
Despite his attempts to conceal the pilfered pie, Stuart was confronted by Keith after the show.
He added: "Later that night we were invited to play pool with them. Suddenly Keith stopped the game in mid-stroke. The lines on his face were more prominent than normal.
Then he potted the yellow, placed his cue down and wandered over to me, a joint dangling on the edge of his lips.
'You ate my shepherd's pie, didn't you?' he whispered."

I'm still waiting for the Keef Cookbook to hit the shelves.

Alamo thanks for Keith's recipe. We are making it today for the USA vs Canada hockey game at 4pm. I have never had Shepherds pie.
