Interesting twist with the sauce Was there an inspiration?

I am the sentinel sniffer of rotting produce at my Ralphs/Kroger The produce guys know if I cock my head and point they have a stinker. Usually citrus or onion. Yes I also do not but the bagged stuff - even my nose can miss a bad'un

Wonderful market photos. I think Westerners often wonder how all that produce gets consumed. A different way of eating and also multi family households. The marigold garlands for worship remind me if India, Thank you!

I did not google and your reply was not what I could have concocted in my overactive mind

Me too wondering, I have a few from a garage sale set of cutlery and I love them for various purposes.

I am not familiar with the term "tube steaks". Can you elaborate on your version?

When I grew it it was quite different to supermarket but I think big producers do a blanch grow so less green and less of maybe the bitter.

@Duvel have to ask - was the tuna a canned one - high end or off shelf?

@Smithy It was in The Spice Necklace. Conch referred to as lambi. Must be well pounded and then chopped into bits as she was told it swells up if not pounded even though chopped in bits and messes up your fritter. My wording of her recipe: 1 lb. conch tenderized and chopped finely 2 green onions finely chopped 1 T fresh thyme minced 1 clove garlic minced 1/4 to 1/2 Scotch bonnet or other hot pepper minced 1/2 small green bell pepper (ackk) 1 T cilantro minced tsp grated lime zest 2 T lime juice Mix above and proceed to dry ingredients: 1-1/2 c AP flour 1T baking powder 1 tsp salt black pepper as you think Combine and mix into wet ingredients Batter: 4 eggs separated Beat the yolks with 1/4 c white wine and 1/4 c water t Mix into the seafood Beat whites to soft peak stage. Mix 1/4 of it into the seafood and then fold in the rest (like souffle technique) Drop by ample T into hot oil until nicely browned. Drain and serve with hot pepper sauce She offers the alternate of using cooked shrimp or lobster

I'd go in the direction of calamari steaks as the seafood. More along the conch texture line.

A recipe is in An Embarrassment of Mangoes - I'll see if I have it on my shelves or if it is unfortunately boxed and trapped in garage,

No fish sauce - interesting. Nice wings!

Nice meal choice. Looks like you got out some serious frustration pounding that meat!

I've previously mentioned my big stainless bowl "the placenta bowl" (think hospital) Oddly I name cars (Roxanne is last) and plants but not not kitchen stuff.

There is an expression in my dialect which I can't fish out of my brain right now - to paraphrase - we all end up eating "x" amount of dirt every year" Kinda like the "x" second rule on dropped food.

I wish I could ship you my old neighbor's calamansi bounty. Rained again today so the approach to trees is mush. As to flavor I would try just a hint of tangerine juice & zest mixed with the lime. Gets you closer to the floral of calamansi. Or kumquat.

Just a new strawberry variety. The name is cringeworthy. Excites me about as much as pink poinsettias. Lets see what our eGer has to say o taste.

@Shelby was that lovely goose one Ronnie bagged?

Ninja Foodi Grill https://www.ninjakitchen.com/indoor-grills/? Cracked a rib carrying it into UPS to return and tripping - stepmother did not like it,

That product is all about sauce and coating so makes sense, Our local Panda had the high school kids there and tradesmen there in loads at lunch and that was the favorite. You could see them cooking - nice woks!

On the food note let us not forget the incentive of Green Stamps - huge. Maybe before coupons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26H_Green_Stamps Standong in the grocery line with a coupon queen n front of you - OMG. Today all on their smart phones so quicker

As did we - with Los Angeles Rams football logo on smoked glass - all broken and gone, Better yet were the books. Hard cover. I remember getting "Heidi" "The Black Stallion" and "The Call of the Wild". Few bookstores then - this was huge.

So is it the innards without the wrapper? Older WW cookbooks did baked ones.

@AAQuesadaWithout looking it up I know enough to recognize a live critter in its blood. Maybe pass on pictorial. The other - sounds good.
