don't get me wrong, i didn't dislike them. i just wouldn't buy them again.
they're still 100x better than dragon fruit though. and that might be damning with feint praise....

I didn't buy them, tbf. Got them for free
Would probably buy some if they were cheap enough though.

Give me your address and I'll post some to you free of charge. Second class stamp only, in the middle of summer.
I remember the tripe stalls in Stockton market that always made me feel queasy as a kid, looking at the mounds of pallid glistening white flesh at eye level.

Pithe (aka pitha) - a Bengali pudding - a spongy rice-flour pancake wrapped around a filling of reduced milk and grated coconut with jaggery (unrefined sugar), with some condensed milk and grated coconut drizzled on top. Absolutely bloody ridiculously good to eat, I'd scoff several a day if I had the money or the metabolism for it. Weirdly (given the ingredients and the usual style of subcontinental sweets) it wasn't *too* sweet, either - no hurting teeth or sugar-rush headache - it was just right. Drooling for more....

Good god that sounds amazing. Where did you have it?

In a restaurant - Calcutta St on Coldharbour Lane SW9. Bit of a yuppy/Brixton invader joint and not cheap - and the menu's full of words and things that you / I / most UK eaters-out don't recognise, so it can be hard to tell which combination of stuff will make a good meal. But you could just skip everything else and eat 2 pithe instead

Salted Iranian pistachios, which were very good.

I tried rubing, which is a cheese made in Yunnan province in China, last week. It was really nice and a lot like halloumi. I will be ordering it online and cooking with it a lot once we get back to our home in north China. 
I also tried yak's cheese, which was hard and crumbly and pungent. Also very good.
Hoping to try some Rushan before we leave Yunnan on Friday.

I Used rice noodles last week for the first time, they're about a third of the calories of instant noodles. So I can still have my favourite noodle soup at lunchtime whilst trying to cut calories

I was rather hoping to eat freshly-picked ceps / porcini, but after waiting a whole year for a patch to reappear, (last year they were too knackered to identify) it's probably one of the few inedible species of the boletus genus ... - apparently turning blue doesn't definititively rule it out, but I'm not sure I'm even prepared even to taste it to see how bitter it is ...

I suspect it's this :-

I found this in the supermarket. No idea what I'm doing with it yet, but sounds tasty.

It is tasty, UnderAnOpenSky . I'd probably just use it for a bibimbap tbh.
I tried grass jelly last week. I've seen it a lot, but always skirted round it before, for some reason. Tastes quite smooth and neutral, but with a slightly minty aftertaste. Went well with everything else in the bowl.
Grass jelly, silken tofu, vanilla ice cream, and mango, from Honeymoon Dessert.
