I do a thing with stewed red cabbage, apple, red onion, ginger, lyme juice, pinch of salt and a splash of rice vinegar. TBH it varies every time I make it. I think I put a few fenil seeds in once too as I was having it with pork.
What new foods have you tried recently?

Salted caramel brownies - made them myself and WOW so good.
Also had artichokes for lunch. Ok but not excited by them.

Salted caramel is amazing. Seems to be in/on everything lately, but until about a two years ago I'd never heard of it.
Is it a new 'invention'?Salted caramel and chocolate cookies *drool*
How did you have the artichokes? With some garlic dip or something? I think they're great, but they're just a faff on I hardly ever have them.

Peanut butter doesn't have any butter in it, it's just blitzed up peanuts....

Frozen microwaveable idli, sambar and chutney in a box. I was very hungry in the middle of the night and this did the job nicely and had flavour traces of actual food in it. Not a patch on the real thing, though - and not spiced strongly enough to be really interesting.

Yes it's quite new. It certainly didn't exist when I left the UK in 2008 and doesn't exist at all in Turkey as people here don't like to combine sweet and sour. I read a few food blogs so wanted to try, and cooked up a batch. Wow, fantastic!!
The artichokes were just cold in olive oil like they usually prepare vegetables here, had them with some sprouts and rice in the canteen at work.

Ah, you had the hearts. Dead tasty, but the leaves are the best/most interesting.
You steam/boil the artichoke whole and then you can take each leaf and suck out the 'meat' from the middle. Dip it in garlic sauce or something
Liked because even discovering that you definitely don't like something is worth doing.

Well quite. I've tried it. I wanted to try it. I didn't like it but I'm glad I tried.

A few weeks ago I had some of these jumbo "posh hot dog" sausages from Asda.

They were yummy and as part of the deal I got a packet of these Cajun sausages.

And I've had the second part of my pack tonight. They are bloody lovely even after being frozen and defrosted. The cheese squeezes out of them and burns everso slightly in that overcooked cheese umami way. Plenty of flavour but not too salty which is often the downfall of a half decent supermarket banger.

Does it have added oil though?
Re salt added to sweet stuff. I few weeks back tried some Chinese cookies. They might have been peanut cookies. Definitely had some salty flavour, as well as very sweet. They were extremely moreish.
Peanut butter often does have added oil, but some brands don't. Meridian doesn't, and it's the one I get because it tends to be better for cooking than one with added oil etc.

Some brands do, some brands don't.

spelling is overrated
Tried a bhel puri mix that had it's own sauce sachet. I mixed up the sachet and it smelt rank (a faint smell of shit), so threw it away and used some tamarind sauce I had knocking about and some lemon juice.
It was pretty poor all round and will be going back to making my own, nicer and cheaper

Thanks. If / when I try peanut butter again, I'll go for that one.
Sainsbury's do an own-brand peanut cookie which is delish. Sweet and salty om nom
I don't even buy biscuits as a norm. I was meant to make these Chinese ones last. I'll just eat a couple while the kettle boils. This layer's almost gone, might as well finish it with my tea... And repeat.

Try the Peanut Butter Co one, it's the best!
CBA buying a blender though. No space really.

No it's a bit niche but it's more so you know peanut butter isn't dairy and oils in it are naturally occurring. It's actually quite amazing how oily they are!

As tasty as they are they're about as louisiana cajun as a cornish pasty.

I've been eating szechuan bean and chilli sauce loads recently, with extra szechuan pepper.
Proper lovely and like nothing else.
