The Weekly Friday Feast

NikNikSenior Contributor

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Snap @TAB.

My Mum comes from a German family. Her ancestors arrived in Australia in the 1840's, but she was the first in her family to marry outside German circles. Her older siblings learned to speak German, but Mum and the other younger siblings didn't... WW2 era, it may have been a wee bit socially unacceptable...

So I grew up with the odd Geman dish appearing on the dinner table. My favourite was probably Kartoffelpuffer- grated potato pancakes similar to Latkes. I'm not sure which I enjoy more, the pancake itself, or the name. Also German style potato salad, with cream, vinegar and mint instead of dressing and parsley.

And the cakes and bikkies. Apple kuchen, chocolate coated Lebkuchen (soft gingerbread), Pfeffernusse (the name means Peppernuts- pepper is one of many spices used in traditional recipes). I don't particularly remember Stollen, but I'm pretty sure I would have had it at some point.

I remember going to an Oktoberfest with a friend one year, and we each bought a huge soft gingerbread heart. I think mine lasted me a week or two.

A roasted whole carrot super, now that does sound funny @Phoenix_Rising

Yes the car is still drivable, thank goodness, otherwise the situation would be almost impossible.

It just had to be a 4WD that I bumped into, didn't it? Hardly a scratch for him, front squished in for me...

No the Smash-Repair place is nowhere near a train station or bus stop (now that you mention), which makes it very tricky...

Hi @Smc my father is German mums family was from England in 1830s he was in the war and came out here on his own. He worked for and lived with the Germans who came here like 90years before. Never spoke German at home. Mum made brilliant knock off recipes with twists like potato salad(no mint) vinegar paprika gherkins etc was best one ever had hot or cold. Also her homage to sauerkraut was delish just boiled chopped cabbage with white pepper vinegar and cream

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

@Adge, yeah when I got my car repaired I had to walk miles to the train station. Was the person you bumped into nice about it? When the person bumped into me, it gave me a good chance to practice my distress tolerance skills. Even though I was shaken up and really really didn't need that to happen at that time (I was coming home from a therapy session!!!!) I told myself that it was an accident and it wasn't like the woman had set out to cause me grief that day.
