Food and drink A-Z challenge

Re: Food and drink A-Z challenge

I hadn't expected the challenge to fire on all cylinders today. I had other duties to attend to and missed out by AndyM beating me to the post.

Can I be excused for popping in another P, I have had this one floating around for quite awhile.

Pasty from Cornwall via HH.

I must admit that occasionally and I do mean very occasionally I enjoy one of their pasties.

Quince - well done, I didn't think of that and we have a bush with some on in the front garden.

Re: Food and drink A-Z challenge

No fancy quince this time; Q is for Quiche - specially selected and freshly hand-photographed on my phone this evening!

Quince


This one has just been harvested by Anne minutes ago - frozen to the core.

Haha! I didn't see that - it was on the previous page of the thread; much nicer than my Quiche, anyway

R for raspberry. The very last of this autumn's crop.

S is for Sashimi!



Nothing cooked there Taken last time I was in Japan, this was in a restaurant in Osaka in the summer of 2013.

Incidentally, Sushi is not necessarily raw fish and always comes with rice.

How do they make the fish look happy? It has a big smile on its face.

I had just taken this for S about 4 hours ago when we had a power cut. Just back about 30 mins ago.

S is for Sambal and Satay.



Hope you don't mind.

Re: Food and drink A-Z challenge

I hadn't heard of Sambal before and I used to live in Indonesia!

EEK. I love hot spicy things. When I'm in the Netherlands which I tend to be a couple of times a year, Indonesian restaurants are a must.

Re: Food and drink A-Z challenge

T is for Turmeric, a spice that scientists are now saying suppresses the activity of genes liked to cancer-causing inflammation, though it needs to be consumed in food rather than supplements for best effect. Another excuse for a curry then

U could be tricky - I don't mean you, I mean 'U', well, U, er, you, know what I mean, I think...

I'd ask my wife to make an upside down pineapple cake today but she's substitute teaching.

U for umami

Soy sauce is also rich in umami components. Umami (/uˈmɑːmi/), a savory taste, is one of the five basic tastes (together with sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness).
