The Weekly Friday Feast

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

Fair enough @Queenie I'm just curious, because I've never heard of Wasabi choc (didn't know there was any).

I might not like it either, but it's worth a try...

Which reminds me of when I first tried Hot English Mustard (as a teenager).

No one warned me, I smeared it all over my sandwich (thickly) - then I had steam coming out my nose (quite literally)...

We were not amused..

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I really like hot curries like a super spicy green curry or a hot vindaloo, but even I go sparse with the hot English mustard (and I like mustard)! I've never eaten Wasabi, but I imagine it's like fire judging from what I've seen on TV. I also saw a stunt where a man had a whole tube of Wasabi paste put on a piece of sushi and had to eat it. His eyes were bulging and watering!

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

That sounds dramatic @Queenie That must have been hot...

I've had Wasabi in small doses, it tastes just like Hot English Mustard (to me)...

I love hot Thai Green (& Red) curries.

Although I once over-did it (too hot), & had tears running down my face (in the restaurant)...

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I remember once a friend (who is of Indian descent) and I decided to make a vindaloo from scratch and make our own paste. The recipe called for 'vinegar' but we were unsure what type of vinegar and how much. So we added a tablespoon of malt vinegar for a two-person serving. Needless to say while it was spicy, it was VERY vinegary and tasted awful!

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi @Queenie and @Adge and anyone else still around. Arrived late tonight. Doing some other things on the computer. We had spaghetti bol for dinner. I was going to make us tuna and mayonnaise sandwiches but C had already jumped in the kitchen wanting protein to help a little hangover from last night. It was delish. Also had apple and cinnamon hot cross buns at my friend's place today, yum, but one was enough for me.

I don't mind a bit of spice in food but mostly I tend to mild curries, for example. A tiny amount of wasabi on sushi is good, chilli is not really something I can really take much of. But it's nice to just put a tiny pinch in some foods for a bit of 'edge' to the food I think. But I'm not much of a cook at all.

I don't really do chocolate anymore, just don't have the taste for it, but happy that others take pleasure in it.

This is the kind of dessert I like, that I've posted before:

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Yum, that looks delicious @Mazarita

Is that a Cheesecake, or a spongecake?

Cheesecakes are my favourite...

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

@Mazarita good to see you here at FF!

A baked cheesecake always goes down well in my book! I am having cheesecake next Wednesday night for my cousin's birthday. I can't wait!
