30 minutes to cook rice?

To clarify, this is the menu from the restaurant, "Dinner by Heston"; although he doesn't cook there, but had a hand in designing the menu along with the actual chef in the London branch, Ashley Palmer-Watts. There is another branch in Melbourne, Australia. Which did you visit?

Tried these. Not pleasant. First of all, they look strange. These are the "naturally flavored" variety on the left of the pic above. They have this peculiar surface, unlike anything resembling a fried slice of potato! I check out the ingredients list: Potatoes, Sunflower Oil, Yeast Extract Powder, Buttermilk Powder, Sugar, "Natural Flavors", Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder, Rice Flour, Salt, Barley Malt Extract Powder, Cream Powder. Presumably, all that muck is to give them the Guinness Flavor they claim to be selling. They taste nothing like Guinness. Or potatoes. They also note that they are not suitable for vegans. They don't mention not being suitable for anyone with the slightest Irish ancestry or taste! And they are 28.57% fat. And cooked by Felix! ______________________________________________________ The chili variety have almost the same ingredients, but drop the buttermilk and cream to be vegan while adding Onion Powder, Paprika Powder, Herbs, Naturally Sourced Color: Paprika Extract, Chili Extract. Jake cooked these ones.

Probably, but does that make it exclusively Canadian? Most of the others mentioned are. I've seen it in Japan and Vietnam, so I reckon it's Chinese!

What is Canadian about dulse? I almost grew up on it in Scotland. Even the name is from Scots/Irish Gaelic.

Found these about an hour ago - deep in southern China! Sad they are calling them 'chips' though. Presumably for the export market, in which case they are wrong!

I was perplexed as to why I was being mentioned on such a disgusting, depraved topic! But, I will hesitatingly accept your apology. I had a good day! Next time you may not be so lucky! 😀

I don't know what this is. I know what's in it; I made it after all. Beef and okra. I marinated the beef for 24 hours in wine, with garlic, chilli, shallots and turmeric. Slow stewed that then added okra, home made yoghurt and balcony mint. Seved with rice. I'd do it again!

I'd love to share, but the recipe passed with her.

I can't help you with your question, but would like to say that my late aunt, my mother's twin sister made batches of rhubarb and ginger jam every year. I'd trample down children and pensioners to get my hand on some of that now.

Is this flour / powder confusion possibly a translation problem? In several languages the same word can mean 'flour' or 'powder'. In Chinese it's even worse; the same word can mean flour, powder or noodles!

Well, it certainly wasn't the Chinese. They like their pork as fatty as possible!

The theme tonight was abject laziness. Stuck a spud in the nuclear box to bake and pan fried some pork tenderloin slices. Served with Shanghai bok choy (not pictured as you may have noticed!) I so wish China had decent pototoes, but I make do. These are too waxy for my liking. Topped them with salt pepper and Sriracha because I could. They weren't bad, but could have been so much better.

Creamy prawn pasta with Thai flavours. The cream was coconut. Topped with raw basil to wilt in the residual heat.

You've obviously never tried cockroach fried rice in rural Thailand! Although, I will admit to preferring raisins. BTW, I know it was a typo, but I like "cockaroach". I might borrow it!

... this why the rest of the world doesn't use 'cup' measurements.

Other luxury food items that used to be considered disgusting

Irish cheddar, Spanish olives, Chinese tomatoes, Balcony basil. English seasalt, Somewhere pepper.

Does it？ I don't get that. We eat and drink many things that have remained basically the same for millenia.

Lurking under that tomato is a home made duck burger. With onion and lettuce. And chips.

They grow to about 1½ - 2½ feet long (46 - 76 cm). The beans are distinct, but small. these are ½ an inch long (1.27 cm).

Shrimp and mushroom Jiaozi. Zhenjiang vinegar and soy sauce dip.
