@blue_dolphin  I also had a fear of "perfumey" food. Friends were discussing various pelargoniums (geraniums) in food uses. I involuntarily cringed. However when the citrus trees were overloaded with blossoms I picked some and made a tea as an experiment. It opened up a new food avenue. Alot like using citrus leaves or a herb like lemon verbena in a salad. Cheap thrills ;)  (don't know if I should be smiling or frightened that this is post #12,001!!!)

I've got leftover pancakes that I stashed in the freezer and will reheat nicely in the CSO so I will give that rose tahini a try.  I'll go drop-wise with the rose water and see how it goes. 

 

And congrats on that milestone post and a big thanks for all of your contributions to the group!  I joined eG just about 5 months after you did and I am clearly not participating to the same degree but I love that eG has space for all of us!

 Since it is almost impossible to make a single serving of okonomiyaki, breakfast is again a planned-over meal. Served with a simple cabbage, carrot and mayonnaise coleslaw.

Sorry. I see I caught the French side of the can. After a while when you live bi-lingually you don’t notice.

Whatever next?

I have seen Spam in China, but only in specialist shops selling imported foods, That "Sichuan" type is a new one on me. I can't see it going down well in Sichuan, though.

 

At least, they got the Chinese Pinyin tone diacritics right.

You did ask.

 

Edited to add:

And that’s a pretty ancient article that I linked to. I know there are newer flavours than that!

You made me look! Spam varieties.

Dear Lord. And I still don’t think that includes the ones that I got a glimpse of in the Asian store we visited recently.

A version of the Pizza Bianca with Potato, Anchovies, and Sage from Ottolenghi's Simple.
fullsizeoutput_3886.thumb.jpeg.c721919d7be4de96717e2a2084f07163.jpeg

I used the pizza dough from Shaya that I already had on hand and the whipped feta (with goat cheese, feta, cream cheese & heavy cream) from Shaya's Whole Roasted Cauliflower recipe was substituted in for the marscapone that Ottolenghi calls for. 
Next time, I will slice the potatoes more thickly (I used the 1.5 mm setting) as they got a bit too dark - I would have liked to give the crust another minute in the oven.

I know I may have to skip lunch today (work related), so a hearty breakfast.

 

Sausage, egg and chips.
