What would you eat???

[Doughboy]

Folks this is a no brainer. I've been in the Chefing business for twenty two years and I have eaten some interesting stuff. This takes the cake though.

My neighbour came over this morning asking to borrow a couple of eggs. Sure no problems grab what you need I say. She has two eggs in hand and I make comment of scrambled egg for breaky... nice idea. Her reply was soft boiled eggs with rice bubbles. I thought ok so you are hungry but she went on to explain.

She soft boils the two eggs scoops them into a bowl and then puts rice bubbles on top and mixes them in!!!!:eek:

Sorry I dont think I could go this sort of mix.

Would you or do you have a similar concoction?

[JDarvall]

:confused: that is odd. Maybe she's in some kind of female cycle or something confusing like that....

I'm boring compared I think. I do like heaps of vegimite and butter under my poached eggs though, which the wife thinks pretty weird.

[Wongo]

Interesting. Does sound a bit tasteless though.

[craigb]

I don't think I understand the thought process that comes up with that sort of mix.:confused: :eek:

Still, whatever floats your boat I suppose.

Some people think that Vegemite and cheese is weird. :rolleyes:

As for peanut butter and jelly (jam), best not go there. ;)

[Cliff Rogers]

HOW???? did they discover it? :confused:

Were they searching for a hangover remedy?

Did one of their kids do it?

My wife's Grandmother puts coffee in her cereal, I can sort of see how she could have done that by mistake one morning but. :rolleyes:

[Ashore]

Japaneese food in general but espically
crack a raw egg in a bowl then put a heap of hot noodles on it
sushi & sushimi ( includes raw fish )
yakitori ( Skewers of chicken, liver and heart )
globe fish ( poisonous fish )
whale tonge ( carry out your own scientific tests as you eat )

though the saki is ok

then theres fiji's tradionaly prepared kava :eek:

[soundman]

I wont eat most foods beginning with vowels except apples oranges and eggs.

Asians will eat just about anything that walks, slithers, crawls, squirms or grows.
I dont think I want to go to asia.

Give me good basic food cooked properly without weird stuff....... AND NOT IN A PILE.

cheers

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Basically, I won't eat anything that something else has already thought, eaten, digested, filtered or excreted with.

Offal by name, awful by taste.

Apart from that anything is fair game. :D

[Daddles]

Mate, seeing she's your neighbour, in nine months time, your sleep will be disturbed. Pregnancy or insanity are the only explanations for that one :cool:

Some exotic stuff I have had are, escargot, wichety grubs, haggas, deep fried cactus, macdonalds, while in Thailand I had this drink called Five penis wine, fried spiders, and finally my dads meatloaf!

I like toast with vegemite and tabasco with a fried egg on top.

Indonesian Fish Sause paste and Durian are not allowed in my house, but other than that I'm pretty game.

[Daddles]

Ah ha, that explains a lot :D

Seeing we're on exotic tucker here ... umm ... apricot jam and cheese sangers doesn't really count does it. I made the lad and I lasagne the other night, only I used finely chopped chicken instead of beef mince and didn't have any lasagne sheets so I used lebanese bread (split so you had the thin sheet). Was very nice thank you velly much ;)

Now that sounds like a typical Aussie diet to me :D

[Harry72]

How bout a baked bean pizza... drain the juice and mash the beans and add tomato paste to make the sauce then lotsa motza cheese, bacon(no diced ham), egg, onion, mushroom, capsicum, more beans... pepperoni to taste!

[Daddles]

Dammit Harry, I'm hungry now.

One of the nicest things you can do to a pizza is chop a chilli and sprinkle it. Even the kids appreciated that one.

Something along those lines is to use thin pancakes instead of the lasagne sheets but you have to get the consistency of the sauce right, can't be too liquidy.

I'll try almost anything eggs and rice bubbles just don't do it for mehttp://www.ubeaut.biz/blotto.bmp

[Bleedin Thumb]

Yeah Im getting pecky too, Might go and have my octopus leftover from last night yum.
My wife and kids won't touch my favourate brecky.
1 x onion sliced poached in milk
when onions go clear throw in a handfull of grated cheese and a pinch of nutmeg serve on toast.

You wouldn't, er, be enthusiastic about, say, a cramp of potatoes...:D :D :D :D Sorry Soundman, some things are just tooooo tempting. Me go now...

[Iain]

I once took my life in my hands and tried to eat some Army food.
Was glad when that short stint was over and went back to RAAF food, on plates:D

[Christopha]

I did draw the line at barbecued Tiger snake and I can't handle Beetroot, haven't tried Witchetty Grubs but would, love anything frrom the sea that hasn't been frozen but I wouldn't bee too keen on the Rice Bubbles and Bumnuts....

:D

Offal..... begins with a vowel......there's the warning.

Army food..... begins with a vowel..... there it is again

potatoes are fine..... don't start with a vowel.

cheers

[Andy Mac]

That is wierd, but I don't go for rice bubbles anyway.
I have tried cooked jellyfish in a Chinese restaurant and couldn't finish the bowl...I'd reached my limit to species and part there of.:cool:
One of wierdest combination meals I've tried and enjoyed was bananas wrapped in ham and topped with cheese, baked:D. Very nice but can't afford it now...

Cheers

[mic-d]

I ate some weird things when I lived in Japan, one I couldn't recognise but it may have been fermented entrails of some creature marinated in sewerage(was a bar top snack). Couldn't come at a raw egg on rice for brekky, or natto, and I drew the line at horse liver sashimi, although horse (skeletal muscle) sashimi was quite nice.
Apart from that everything else was good, especially the beer and canned ice coffee.
Deep fried silk worms in Korea was also memorable, not good but memorable

Cheers

I loved all the tucker in Japan, even if I didn't know what it was. I love all offal except tripe, and consider brains, lambs heart and liver delicacies. I've eaten flying fox and witchety grubs and found them OK. (Flying fox tastes like chicken.) Oysters I prefer straight out of the shell, but will eat them any old how.

But I can't understand how anyone can bring themselves to eat pumpkin or cabbage. Pumpkin is only fit for feeding to cattle, and the best that can be said about cabbage is that it makes good compost.

[bsrlee]

Cooking disasters - Boiled Lettuce. Mum got the 'directions' from one of her friends at the local bowling club. When I smelt it, I went out and sat on the front fence until the smell had cleared & refused to eat it - Mum, Dad & Grandmother all tried it - at least one mouthful - before it went in the compost bin. No idea if the directions got a bit scrambled with a few sweet sherries or if it was some sort of weird joke/revenge, but what came out was truely awful. And it doesn't start with a vowel.

Odd breakfast food - I had an acquaintance who always had orange juice on his Wheatbix instead of milk - seems he picked the idea somewhere in his travels.

I believe the correct quote goes something like:- 'Cantonese will eat anything with 4 legs except the table, and anything that flies except airplanes"

[lesmeyer]

I just love Biltong. That is the South African name for dried meat. Usually beef, but could also be kangaroo, antelope, elephant, ostrich or buffalo. The meat is air dried (unlike jerky that is oven dried). Lots of beer to go with it. Due to the salty nature it lets one work up a thirst (similar to irish music that make one thirsty):D

I had a greek dish once - octopus pasta cooked in the octopus ink. A bit gritty but very yummy. The waiter did warn me about one thing though, and he was right, the ... um ... morning movement was black for a week :eek:

[Shedgirl]

Peanut butter and sweet chilli sauce on toast.. mmmmmmm, yum!
Or get a spoonful of peanut butter and dip it in the milo tin. Bit sticky, but good. Don't tell my kids I said that.

Look, this place is already bad enough for my lifestyle ... :mad: :D :D

[Schtoo]

Soundman, you're right, they do eat some strange stuff here.

For example, tonights dinner was very wierd.

Some enormous spider looking thing was the main part, with some kinda liquid and rabbit food in it, some thin pastry covered bits of garlic, mince pork and more rabbit food. And the mandatory white grain looking crud. :p

It was tough, but I managed to choke it all down. :rolleyes:

Dessert is, I think, something truly off the scale.

Chocolate covered potato chips. :eek:



Now, seriously, I have seen and eaten more wacky stuff since I got here than I could imagine. I won't say I don't like it till I try it most of the time, unless I just can't handle the look of it. Like sea cucumber...

Universal excuse is "the taste is ok, can't handle the texture". Gets me out of being forced into eating 'normal' stuff like mochi (rice pounded into oblivion, think rice flavoured chewing gum.), sashimi (raw fish (and animal), think fish flavoured chewing gum) and natto (rotting beans, think vomit flavoured chewing gum).


Do like raw tuna though. :D

[kekemo]

Toast 2 pieces...
Rasher of bacon
heaps of grated carrot
no salt, heaps of pepper...

Yum Yum Yum:)

before you dehydrate kangaroo marinate it chilli :mad: sauce.....
b loody fantastic....

Now, really interesting for those that like a cuppa tea.....next time you have one a cap of Brandy in it..........lush....
:rolleyes: Oh and when you have coffee put a cap of Tia Maria into it....
the heat of the tea & coffee actually dilutes the alcohol content so quite safe as long as you only stick to a cap measure...nearly the same as a dram....

fresh loaf of unsliced bread....cold butter ....vegemite...Opps thats right over forty now....dangerous....but how else are the grandkids going to learn........holidays or when the kids are home... every sunday morning is cooked breakfast out on the BBQ with french toast....yummy

its obvious that woodworkers....the name says it all "workers" like their tucker.... and don't mind tucking into a coldie either....land of plenty...we are truly very luck arn't we!
Kekemo....:cool:

Little worried about that lady who likes the rice bubbles with ovum....yuck....don't worry about her being pregnant...just call the men in white coats she's crazy.....
catch you gastronomic devients later.....
:p bye
