Not totally new, but apparently these are sweet potatoes. Found in an Indian grocers. Colour of the skin was different, but was even more suprised when I started peeling them. Tasted good though.
What new foods have you tried recently?

I roasted them in small cubes. Definitely enjoyed the texture, as you say, less soggy.

I think that might have been the first "grilled cheese" sandwich I've ever had.
Of course I've had a cheese toastie before. But I don't remember ever having an American style one, which should really be called "fried bread with cheese".
Anyway, it was fucking delicious.
Some seeded loaf, wrapped around mature cheddar, and buttered on the outside of the bread. Fried for a few mins each side, til bread browned and cheese melted. Boom! I'll never desire a toastie machine again...

Avocado toast with poached egg and tahini. Obviously I've had those things separately but together, they were a revelation.
Also, a Syrian dish called ozi (?) - bloody lovely parcel with chicken, pine nuts, rice and other stuff.

Riverford were offering free cardoons with the veg box this week so I ordered some.
They are a veg a bit like celery, but are very bitter to taste. You have to boil them, I put them in a cheesy gratin which made them bearable, but I won't be rushing out to get any more.

I've just eaten a durian flavoured chewy sweet from Thailand. Never had durian "anything" before. Really weird but pleasant flavour - slightly garlic/rotten onion smell and taste with a sweet fruity undertone. Would love to try fresh durian sometime.

Fried baby birds , very crunchy, tasted a bit like pigeon and great with a glass of red wine.

I have questions. What sort of birds? How many? Were the coated in batter or anything? Beaks??

Sparrows? Some of my Portuguese mates were in the bar eating and called us over and asked us to try some. They are fried with garlic , some were split in two , some had heads others didn't .must have been about a dozen or so.loads of bread to mop up the flavours. Also had plates of chorizo and presunto

Sounds like Ortolan, which is a type of bunting. The French are known for eating them. IRRC they are force fed with grain (or something) until they're very fat and then drowned in cognac. When they are eaten, one is supposed to wear a black cloth on one's head to hide one's shame from God.

^ ortolans are endangered iirc so I'm going to comfort myself with the idea that the Portuguese bar was just serving quail.... or even tiny mini chickens...

it wasn't on the menu. What happens regularly is that people bring food in and either pay a small fee to use the kitchen ( or might be that the owner is asked to dine with who ever has organised it) or the staff will cook it for a slightly larger fee. In this case someone's father caught the birds and sold them , someone else brought the chouriso and someone else the prusunto. they paid for the bread, wine , coffee and spirits .

My betting is there isn't much durian in a chewy sweet. I've had durian ice cream in Malaysia and it was the foulest thing ever. One lick and straight over the side of the pier it went. There's a reason half the shops in that area carry signs saying 'No Durian'.
I know they have quite a reputation for being rather stinky (I'm still burping durian smell, even after dinner
).

You're eating the wrong ramen.
