What new foods have you tried recently?

[Orang Utan]

Really want to try txuleta steak or Galician steak after reading this:
High steaks: the new craze for old cow
tl;dr steak from an elderly cow!

Finally got around to tasting my rabbit black pudding - very nice. Just like regular black pudding but a bit gamey.

And today...wow! Smoked almonds. The dog's bollocks. Love 'em

 

[dilute micro]

mango licorice

It's a food and I ate it. Then I wondered why I bought it and why somebody thought it was a good idea.

now thats something im into but hadnt thought about doing.

good result.

Karkli - some kind of lentil snack. Look like churros, but they were much harder/crunchier. Had coriander flavour which were lovely and ghost chilli flavour which were seriously hot! My stomach is in a mess today...I ate way too many (the pub had stopped serving food )

I had some of those Naga Ghost jobbies. Know what you mean about the gut next day. Serious stuff.

 

[Virtual Blue]

I ate some fancy Japanese crisps that my dad bought.
It was a bit shit and tasted like Wotsits minus the fake cheese

 

[Orang Utan]

I had a Galician ribeye steak.
It was fucking amazing.

Chuletones from my butcher:

They are amazing. Recently I've been putting sriracha sauce on everything I reasonably can

 

[crossthebreeze]

Papaya seeds - they taste a bit peppery, a bit mustardy - (if you've ever eaten nasturtium flowers or leaves - almost exactly like that).

They're the same thing as the txuletas mentioned in the article

 

[JuanTwoThree]

Zactly. The tx is the Basque spelling and the -on is an augmentative suffix. So a chuleta (txuleta) is a chop and a chuleton is a massive chop.

If you've got any intestinal worms you will be expelling them shortly so keep an eye on your poo.

Papaya seeds = bush medicine for worms

That wasn't the reason i was eating them, but good to know!

I haven't tried them yet, but today I found my preferred deli sells lupin beans.
I've wanted to try them ever since seeing the Monty Python sketch.

Been chucking powdered dulse seaweed into stuff of late. Good dose of iodine too.

Are you worried about radioactivity?

Sellafield isn't too far away.

I started OD-ing on mixed sea veggies - I was chomping it straight out the bag like crisps

 

[gentlegreen]

Polish pickled veggies.
It's been a while since I tried these ... mild enough to eat straight out of the jar - not sure how to use them .. ditto sauerkraut - I'm looking for calorie-free ways to spruce up my kale and broccoli ...

 

[gentlegreen]

And non-alcoholic malt drink - probably with dodgy caramel ...
Not quite Horlicks, not quite beer ..

 

[discobastard]

It was fucking amazing.

Where'd you get this Orang Utan? Anywhere local? Think you're near me.

Coconut water = minging.

Chia seeds =- meh.

 

[Tankus]

Olive flavour ice cream? Just why???

I've tried hazelnut milk (very nice) and mung beans (also surprisingly nice).

Seem to remember that from a celebrity dinner on c4 and it was Peter Stringfellows turn ......

One of the pokiest flats that I've ever seen ...full of chav furniture that was far too big ......the kitchen sink collapsed into the cupboard under the weight of water ...all looked so MfI on the cheap....but I'll bet it wasn't..well funny
The olive ice cream was shit apparently...

Coconut water is gross isn't it, I don't understand the hype around it at all.

It's not even any better for you than normal water, according to that Superfoods programme on BBC2.

KGN Green Tea flavoured Basil Seed Drink - bought for my by the admin assistant at a place I work at - she reckons sabja (basil seeds) are really good for you and help cool you down when they're in a chilled drink.
Looks pretty much like frogspawn!

The texture is actually not as bad as I thought it would be - though a drink you can chew is a bit weird but its WAY too sweet!

That looks very odd.

 

[gentlegreen]

Looks like they work like chia seeds - both in the mint family...

 

[gentlegreen]

More of the Polish pickles.
This one definitely has potential - red cabbage is super-good for you and I don't manage to eat nearly enough.
