Chicken Parm [OT] It tastes soooo good.

This is THE pub food over here in Australia.

Crumbed chicken breast, slice of Virginian ham, mozzarella cheese and smothered in sauce. Served with chips and salad (pushed the side). Has to come with a pot of beer, by law.

Pot of beer? Victorian by chance?

I'm going to Melbourne tomorrow night, any recommendations for Melbournes finest parmy?
 
thats a funny way to spell lasagna

not just the best Italian food but the best food full stop.
 
It's from Boro, not Newcastle.

Ah someone got there before me.

All the parmos I've had in Newcastle so far have been... aight at best. Girlfriend went to Uni in 'boro and reckons they just don't compare up here. But fuck If I'm going to Middlesborough.

I remember the first time I had a parmo in Newcastle... I've never had a more soul destroying experience. How can someone get a food so wrong when its only an hour down the road from its hometown?!

It's not that surprising - half of the takeaways in Boro and Stockton are shite too. A good parmo is hard to find these days.
 
Yeh every time I get a parmo it is shite. I just make my own when i fancy one these days (Once in a blue moon) Pyrgi in boro is alright but too hit and miss, pizza pan acklam is alright and g's golden chippy is pretty good, gi-gi's linthorpe road is good.
 
Chicken schnitzel only needs one thing on it, and that's garlic sauce.
To be honest if I'm at a pub and someone starts really pushing for any sort of topping that's a good sign that the meal is going to be subpar. Topping obviously adds something but if the schnitzel can't stand on its own you've fucked up.

Important chicken parmy construction question - chicken, then sauce, ham and cheese or chicken, then ham, sauce and cheese?

I prefer the latter because the chicken fillet stays more crispy. The only problem is that the topping is more likely to slide off when you cut into it. I can see the appeal of the former but you end up with half-mushy breaded chicken and that's, along with Geminis, is one of my biggest turn offs.
 
You haven't had chicken Parma unless you've had it in Australia.

Thick juicy double breasted chicken, Napoli sauce, smoky leg ham, melted mozzarella, mountain of crispy chips, leafy green salad. God damn I want it now!

Some places give parmas a bad name, you know the type, processed chicken meat usually shaped into a large heart, lack of sauce and cheese and it sits in the warmer for two hours before serving.

Most are good decent parmas from chefs that just see it as another item on the menu.

The good ones really put the time and effort to give the customer a good proper Parma and do the name justice.

I think it's the Albion hotel in port Melbourne that's my favourite right now. Wednesday nights, $20, 14 different Parma toppings, large portion. Go early so the Parma hasn't been sitting there already cooked.

The former, usually by most chefs. If you prepare it quick enough, the crumbling doesn't get too mushy, if you let the sauce sit there for half an hour, and I bet some places do that, it's going to be mushy.
 
shocked that we're at pag 3 and there isn't the italian meal jpg. gaf you're improving

anyway as already said, it's not really italian. get, dunno a fiorentina chianina? milanese?
 
Do I need to bring some Nigella into this bitch?

you've never had a chicken parmesan sub? It's good, but it's no BBQ or Buffalo chicken finger sub.

A while back I heard Subway's Sub of the Month was Chicken Parmesan. I was a bit curious and a little excited so I decided to give it a shot.
When I ordered it, all they did was use their tasteless chicken breast pieces, drown it in the marinara sauce they use in their meatball sub, and sprinkled Parmesan cheese over.
:(
