Best cuisine in the America's and up there for the world. Yet our tourism board doesn't sell it enough. Everyone who has tried our food has said similar things, but we never appear on lists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already excited It's lovely but a bit too heavy/greasy for me... Got roast whole duck from the local family stall today. They raise their own ducks so it's only available every few weeks; fresh meat roasted to perfection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it wasn't that greasy but it was quite heavy! Could definitely be improved though as it was first time I'd tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted 1,776 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Considering how well known it is as student/beginners food surprisingly I've just made Bolognese for the first couple of times this month. I didn't use any recipe, just bought a back of mince and added the garlic, onions, carrots, chopped tomatoes and passata in what seemed like good proportions. It surprisingly worked out extremely well, I got some very good feedback. I've even worked out that grating in the carrots instead of chopping them, and adding a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce takes the whole thing to another level. I also add quite a whack of chilli since I enjoy spicy food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the taste just right (especially spicy for the family). I didn't use Worcestershire sauce but did add some red wine. Amazing how such a small amount of something can make such a big difference to a dish. The only minor negative point was too many onions but easily rectified!

Dr. Gonzo 8,184 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 This isn't really cuisines because coffee isn't food... but my coworker's just come back from Indonesia and has brought back a bunch of Kopi Luwak coffee for me. I've never had it, but apparently it's very expensive coffee. And I fucking love coffee, so I'm excited to try it out. *edit* I've just googled it and apparently it's coffee that's been shat out of an animal before - not as excited to try it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted 1,776 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I've started using my Moka pot more but I'm clueless about buying coffee for it. Generally I buy whatever the luxury option is in the supermarket, and it tastes pretty good. I would try something more gourmet but the idea of paying more than a fiver for a bag of coffee is just unthinkable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how much a good filter coffee from Tamil Nadu or South India costs out there but I'd imagine they are fairly cheap (could be totally wrong). They work well in Moka pots and are brewed quite well considering we have something similar for our local filter-coffee spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,378 Posted May 22, 2019 Administrator Share Posted May 22, 2019 He should have thought about his actions a few years ago in taking away all the crap food from kids - should have realised they'd grow up and not eat his shit food either . I don't have much sympathy with him - never heard good things about it. Always seemed to overpromise and under-deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
