Minstrels, gotta be, it's the ONLY way to fly.
(I like coffee chocs too, but only in a cream format.)

I just finished a bag of minstrels today. The challenge is to strip off the sugar shell before the chocolate within melts completely. I tend to look like a cow having a stroke when I'm attempting this culinary feat, but I care not.

Peanut Revels are dead. It is better that they are dead than sufferers of peanut allergies.

When was the last time you tried anything food-wise that was new to you.
The other day I had granola for the first time ever. It was nice.

I had squid a couple months ago and have some big chunks of goat in the freezer to try out.
Tried some cassava as well recently which was pretty good.

I had Haloumi cheese off the barbeque. Sweet.
A few years ago I tried Ostrich. Nice.
I frequent Sushi bars so trying out new fish happens far too often to list here.

I can't remember the last time I tried something new but it's always something I'm not afraid to do. If I see something that I've never tried before I won't turn my nose up at it because it might be something that I will like. One of these days I may try some kind of fish or maybe even rabbit but the next new thing I'm likely to try is something Polish because there seems to be an awful lot of Polish restaurants springing up all over the place now.

Hey Stom. Was that Ostrich from St Nick's Market in Broadmead?
I've had Squid, Veal, and Ostrich.

Nah... It was in Bocanova at the top of Colston Street. Good chance they got it from St.Nicks though!

Slightly hung over this morning - we ventured into a small cafe near Bellgrove station - i ordered a Roll & Bacon with a fried egg. The dude asked me if i wanted pepper, with a knowing glint in his eye.
It changed the way i will eat bacon from now on. Pepper by the truckloads please.

Humous at a Morrocan restaurant off of Covent Garden last month. At about the same time, I started drinking tea.
Both are now on my rosta of acceptible foods. Some food will never get on there. I'm looking at you celery.

I do enjoy a bit of celery, but the stringy bits have a nasty tendency to get stuck in my fillings.

I must sadly confess that recently I tried Ramen soup at my favorite Japanese place and it tasted like urine (don't ask how I know what urine tastes like - it's a hunch...seriously!...no really!)... Anyways - I didn't finish it and it was quite embarassing because the joint serves top of the line food and I love it - but I just couldn't eat the stuff - bleh  In general, I rarely try new food - I really...reaaaallly like to eat and I LOVE my "tried and true" restaurants. Occasionally - I will try something new, but since most of the stuff is expensive, I am always fearful of regretting the expenditure... So I have to be doing really well on a particular month to risk trying new stuff. Love sushi as well. Maguro rocks!  Pete |

Had a venison steak on Tuesday. Lovely lovely lovely. More tender than beef, and with a flavour all its own.

Had Dim Sum for the first time in the last week: Prawn Dumpling - fairly simialr to wontons in Soup, but a thinner casing Chow Fun - like spring rolls but steamed so a very soft wrap Spare Ribs in Black Bean Sauce - not what I'd imagined - the ribs were sliced up into chunks creating a bad bone to meat ratio Crispy Squid - deep fried squid. Steamed Rice with Chicken - wot the label said - some rice with steamed chicken plonked on top Chinese Sausage and Turnip cake - misnamed. Turnip cake with minute ammounts of Sausage in Pork Buns - sweet sticky bun filled with Char Sui pork - recomended Mixed Meat & Prawn Coquettes - soft batter round not enough filling. But tasty. Well worth a try. Very cheap amall dishes means you can have several things (about 3 per head on the portion size in the restraunt in Kingston) |

I have now bought a small saucepan, having got reasonably confident with the wok I acquired last month (even if I have burned some holes in the non-stick coating). So not new food as such but trying not to ping! everything. More to save cash than the love of it to be honest, though frying chicken is strangely relaxing. I could do that all day.

I must admit I much prefer grilling or roasting chicken to frying it (Not a big fan of frying anything to be honest, except when stir-frying things).
I wouldn't worry too much about damaging the wok though - most folk I know who use them have written off at least one in the early stages. I think I am on something like my third one over the years.
Not something particularly new, but when I was down at my mother's recently I had some minced beef and onion pasties made by a local company called Tindale and Stanton. Absolutely lovely, and great thing to eat up in a foggy churchyard overlooking Whitby harbour. Unfortunately they seem to be a North East of England only firm as I haven't been able to find them anywhere else on my travels. Must bring some back with me next time I am down at the parental units.

I only use olive oil spray when frying. A lot less mess and smell than using oil, easier to clean and significantly less fat/calories. It makes frying a much more pleasant and simpler experience. It's a bit pricier but worth it in my opinion.
Must...fry...more...chicken...

Pan fried food when done correctly is awesome. Grilled food dries out and doesn't give the meat the ability to absorb flavours in the same way as fried food.
It also means that you should be able to make some sort of sauce out of what's left in the pan whilst your meat rests before serving.
I had a new type of Sushi last night... Amaebi Nigiri. Ebi being your traditional prawn Nigiri, Amaebi is raw and sweet.
