A random thread for food things that don't really warrant a thread of their own

Cooked with pomelo pith for the first time last night, we put it in a curry.  2 days of soaking the pith and changing the water, well worth it.

Damn him. It tastes brilliant too.

Darn you to heck as well, as if I wasn't already hungry.

Something wot I made a year ago:

For revenge by SimonP2006, on Flickr

It's kept quite well, hasn't it?

If you look very carefully, you can still see it - on my waist.

WTF was that, Simon? 
To whom was the revenge being meted out?

It was in response to a picture of bread pudding which made me hungry.

It's something like this: www.landolakes.com/recipe/1010/baked-lemon-pudding-cake

Very, very nice.

We make that, and in our house it's called lemon delicious pudding. It makes its own custard, and is yummy.

We've just purchased a slow cooker - impulse buy but £15 in Lakeland last weekend seemed too good value to see if we liked it. So far it's proved brilliant on two occasions where we have gone swimming after work, cycled home and had dinner ready to go the moment we walked in the door.

Any good cookbooks for them? I know can use the internet but I like collecting cookbooks.

The missus brought home some Ayurvedic Aztec "tea".

Please don't explain.

It's Tea, Jim, but not as we know it.

I have a feeling that Aztec tea is mostly cocoa (not powdered). So historically correct.

First stew of the autumn is simmering on my stove at the moment. Finally accepted it's not summer any more.

I'll be over shortly, to see what it's like....

Just looked at the nutrition info on the back of a bag of apples.  It says there are 9 servings in the bag.  There were 5 apples.  I suspect a serving is based on weight, but

The French on the "Meat Makes Cancer" pronouncement

http://piwee.net/1-tweet-mrrant-viande-rouge-oms-271015/

(sorry 'tis in French, one of my faves: "How come, every time they find something causing cancer, it is never work, family meals or Justin Bieber?" the first one is "Prepare a Raclette, remove carcinogenic foods, eat the wooden spatula")

For the first time ever, I was not asked "Salt and Vinegar?" in the chip shop tonight.
They've finally got it.

I put Vinegar on at home.  Putting it on and then wrapping it and sticking it in a pannier just makes them soggy.

Sainsbury's have redone their website.
It is S-L-O-W-E-R than before and can only display two or three wares on my laptop screen before I need to scroll down.

I DON'T NEED FUCKING PICTURES! I KNOW HOW A BANANA LOOKS!

I just want to shop efficiently without bloat slowing me down!

I looked in vain for an easy place to inform them of my displeasure.

Lidl has some fantastic deals on whole Serrano (£29) and Iberico (£99) hams. That's Christmas sorted...
