What new foods have you tried recently?

[ringo]

Strawberry flavoured maltesers from a work mate who brought them back from Las Vegas. Disgusting.

 

[trabuquera]

Smoked paprika (pimenton) in a dodgy little tin from TK Maxx. Terrific - smokey and tasty and with just enough burn to make your mouth tingle but not cause a coughing fit. (sprinkled over some fried potatoes, not on its own obviously.)

I've had Japanese twice in the last month and its all new to me, apart from sushi!

Also, I've had calzone twice this autumn. Gorgeous!! Much nicer than a pizza!

What kinda Japanese grub did you indulge in? Big fan of it all myself

 

[iona]

Black coffee with coconut oil stirred in. It's nice

These little Chinese flavoured pannacotta/ jelly style desserts in lurid pastel colours. There was lychee, watermelon and some other flavours that I can't remember, they were well nice.

Coca Cola Life in the green can. Blah.

Mochi? Or are those Japanese?

Not mochi. I'll find out. They are amazing.

I was at a funeral celebration yesterday and they served curried goat.

I've been a veggie for 35 years and, though I ate most meat and fish beforehand, I've never tasted curried goat.....

Goat is THE best meat for curry.

Also only discovered this recently. There's a great recipe for roasted carrot soup with smoked paprika and rosemary.

In little plastic containers with peel-off lids?

I had some Lapsong Suchong (sp) yesterday! It smells (like a tack room) a lot better than it tastes (boring tea).

The tea I was trying to remember the name of is Gunpowder Green btw, not Gunpowder Blue

Just finished kangaroo steak for the first time - was lush.

I'd heard it can be dry and tough if you get it wrong due to the low fat content, so I marinaded it in olive and sesame oil with various seasonings for a couple of hours and cooked to medium rare. Melts in your mouth and tastes a little like venison. The stronger taste means you can go a bit mad with the seasonings.

Nah mine was only out of a can. I can imagine a proper homecooked one would be great. And yeah, ideal for a cold Winters night.

I have also made aubergine stacks: grilled slices of aubergine made as a triple sandwich (using pesto as the maragrine) with salami, tomato, cheese and peperoni as the filling. And baked in the oven. Very tasty.

Turns out this is much nicer with just salami, peperoni and grilled red pepper as the filling. Yummy yummscious

Bought this today, its lush, its not as good as my own chipotle mayo but its still very good. Tesco £2.33
