I was thinking nickrey, too, but he doesn't use parchment under his pizza, does he?

Anyway, I don't have any other guess, but what are those black things? I guess we'll find out soon enough!

Walnut shells?

[nickrey]

Not me.

Ham and pineapple pizza is the most popular pizza in Australia though and with the cockatoo, it seems to be the right continent.

May have to wait for some more photos, it has me stumped.

[Kerry Beal]

Gap is from Oz - right?

[djyee100]

The black things, I'm guessing, are ripe old almond fruit. On the right edge of the pic, you can see the almond nut shell in one of the cut open fruit. I think. Tricky...

Artichokes are coming into season here, same for great winter greens, and almond season is over in California--hence the dried almond fruit (if that's what it is). I would expect the Australian almond fruit to be in the fuzzy green stage now. The cockatoo, flowering vine, and springlike colors in some of the other pix say Australia, though.

By now you all know that Australia was correct, but the eG Blogger of the week is actually Snadra! Check it out.

Here's a picture from the eG Foodblog set to begin next week. Any guesses?

[kayb]

I don't know, but I want a slice of that.

[robirdstx]

I don't know, but I want a slice of that.

I don't know either, but I don't want just a slice - I want it all!

[Prawncrackers]

mmm hmmm i am feeling that!

[patti]

Is that a doberge cake? Could be someone from New Orleans.

[Snadra]

That cake looks so delicious!

[Pam R]

OK. Let's see if this picture helps:

[Kerry Beal]

Is it you Pam?

[hsm]

Gifted Gourmet?

[Pierogi]

I have absolutely NO clue who it is, but I am in serious lust over that cobalt glassware. I love, love, LOVE cobalt glass !

[Pam R]

Is it you Pam?

I can tell you that it's not me.

[Kerry Beal]

I wish it were Gifted Gourmet, but she has not participated regularly in eG in quite some time.

Based on the style of heater in the background, I'm inclined to think it's someone outside of North America (or someone who lives in North America but in an older apartment building or hotel-type residence).

Ah yes - european plug for sure. Is that butter on the table with a brisket?

[hsm]

Hmm, is it Lior?

[ChefCrash]

Hmm, is it Lior?

No chocolates, not Lior.

We're just finishing up a great week with abooja, but you may have noticed no teasers were posted last week. We're taking a week off but will return next week with a new blog. Teaser images to come.

In the meantime, if you're interested in sharing a week with us, please send me a PM or email to preiss@egstaff.org.

[Pam R]

Our next eG Foodblogger won't be starting for another week, but here's your first look into their culinary world. Any guesses?

[Peter the eater]

Looks like dried morels getting rehydrated in a red wine, possibly fortified. Or a vampire smoothie.

[Nayan Gowda]

Hannibal Lecter?

Fabulous blogs so far; really looking forward to the next one.

[Pam R]

Hannibal Lecter?

Nope. Hannibal hasn't been posting much lately.

Clue #2:

[nakji]

Are those plums in Armagnac? A tea enthusiastic, too. Hmm.

[Kerry Beal]

Richard Kilgore?

Whitelotus?

[nickrey]

I'm thinking possibly Richard Kilgore as well.

[prasantrin]

I thought is looked like someone was making amaretto.

What about Wholemeal Crank? That would be more in line with what appears to be the trend in who is blogging.

[baroness]

I think it will be Chris Amirault.

[prasantrin]

That's a pretty good guess, too. IIRC, he relatively recently jumped on the Chinese tea bandwagon.

[Kerry Beal]

Bingo - go check out the windowsill in the thread about Chris's new kitchen - same sill that the ? strawberry infusion seems to be brewing on!
