The only time I ever got sunburnt. I'm sure dehydration and salt depletion played a part in making those souvlaki and plastic bottles of water amongst the most beautiful things I've ever tasted!

Looking forward to this. I went to Athens Inter-Railing as a teenager lo, many moons ago. My budget was tiny, and there was a heatwave so it was 30C at dawn, but the souvlaki I had on the street has stayed with me as a highlight and reference point all these decades later.

Absurdly, stupidly basic cooking questions (Part 2)
Kerala replied to a topic in Food Traditions & Culture
Ooh, that stopped me in my tracks. Like someone designed a snack just for me! -
Fish pie. I made too much of the white sauce, so I made a central well in the pie to let it bubble up rather than boil over the sides. I mixed some of the excess sauce into the mash after some thought. Butter, flour, milk, cream, nutmeg, bay leaf, a handy bit of ground pepper and a pinch of salt... actually works great in mash!

@Cooker Don't hold back. Cook now! The Mark Wiens Keralan fish curry is failsafe and easier, and will taste good! If it's not right, do it again a couple of times, and it will be better each time. You have the advantage of knowing when it tastes right. Equally with the fish molly, go for it! With both these dishes, the risk as an inexperienced cook from Kerala is overcooking rather than undercooking.

Fascinating. I'd never have thought to eat either bear or lion. To be fair I'll probably go to my grave never having eaten either. Interesting to know, though.

Any pictures, by chance?

It's such a an international metropolis that London is great for non-English food. I'm looking forward to eating again at Hakkasan in June. Tayyabs for Punjabi food. I'm not a Londoner so I hope a lot of people jump in with recommendations.

I love music. I do often have it on when I'm cooking, but if I'm cooking I'm so focused on the process that the music is irrelevant. I'd never thought about it before reading this. Lately it's been Khruangbin, which is largely non-verbal.

My wife's cousin and her husband stayed with us for a few nights on a visit to Europe from Australia. Nepalese family get together= mo:mo! Different levels of expertise forming the mo:mo But it all tasted great!

Was this finished under the grill or all in the oven? You really got the mince quite dry - perfect. If it's beef, I'd call it cottage pie. Lamb for shepherd's pie. No garlic in mine as I'm pretending to be an English shepherd in 1920, but that's just me!

Breakfast is generally not a planned meal for me. Avocado toast with three slices of anchovy, mug of tea to the side.

Chicken on orzo, made by the wife. Quite a new addition to our menu and the third or fourth time she's done it but getting better and better.

Prosciutto cotto and gorgonzola grilled on toast. A nice supermarket tomato, olive oil, grey sea salt. Very satisfying.
