Now, don't misunderstand me; I like a nice classic Magnum from time to time. But. today when I looked in the supermarket freezer they only had these. Matcha Magnums?! There ought to be a law! Hanging is too good for them! When I want a cup of tea, I'll make tea! When I want a Magnum, I want a Magnum!

It isn't rice. As I said, it's orzo.

Spicy Lemon Shrimp with Orzo Shrimp fried with garlic, chilli and lemon zest. Finished with lemon juice and basil.

Adding Some are sweetened, so take that into account when choosing.

Of your options, I've only had soy milk. It's OK and neutral in taste, but I'm not really a milk user. Sorry, can't recommend specific brands, but can't see that they would differ much.

Try it!

Spicy 炒面 (chǎo miàn) with pork and "pig stomach mushrooms (猪肚菇 zhū dù gū).

In many parts of the planet.

Let's not forget my predilection for eating cheddar cheese with banana bread. Nothing “wrong“ with that. Remarkably sensible. Perfectly normal.

I never eat "wrong"; it's everyone else who does. But seriously, the only thing I do (or don't do) which may be peculiar to some is that the only time I put butter on bread is when I specifically want bread and butter, which I often do. I never include butter in other sandwiches. Butter in a bacon sandwich? Never? Cheese sandwich? Certainly not. I also never put cheese on hamburgers. Although I love cheese. Real cheese.

All gifts except the "yes" cup, which I bought.

It might take a while. Japan is closed due to some sort of virus that is going around.

Not in any Japanese restaurant I've been in.

Pig Stomach Mushrooms (猪肚菇 zhū dù gū), some type of clitocybe. Possibly clitocybe geotropa.

Sushi isn't sashimi!

They don't usually put the tail in the pies!

Hmmm. well for now we'll let you stay unti you see the errors of your ways! We will be monitoring! I remember those canned pies, but never knowingly ate one. That said, my mother wasn't only a dreadful cook, but also very devious, so who knows?

Sure! Beef and kidney are normal. Grew up on them.

Thanks. I always love old recipes and food lore. Thankfully, many of these treasures are becoming more accessible as museums and academic institutions translate and digitise the past. And Arabic food is so wonderful.
