What have you been eating?

Went to the pub with some Tolkien people yesterday. Nice to have better food than I can cook for once! Though it wasn't cheap, alas.

Really, any crumbly biscuit that turns "cakey" when wet would work.

Hmm... I will see what I can find. I might also need some experimental subjects volunteer tasters to try the result on: I fear eating a whole ripple cake myself, appealing as it might be, would give me a cholesterol overload

Really I'm not sure why Arnotts haven't extended over there, I feel like Ripple biscuits and tim tams would be big hits in other countries.

They probably would, but we have our own well-established biscuit companies, selling broadly similar products to a pretty much saturated market. It's very difficult to break into a new market in a country thousands of miles away; even within the European Union, I don't think there's very much trade in things like biscuits across national borders.

Really into making soups at the moment - our latest one was carrot, parsnip and swede.

Yesterday I made crumpet pizzas - basically take crumpet, take a creamy blue cheese (Gorgonzola usually, I used Sant Agut and that worked fine), and walnut pieces, put cheese on crumpet, top with walnut, put in oven for a bit. Very nice and very simple meal

Been living on cabbage/vegetable/bit of beef stews and skillet burrito.

Sometimes when I need a break from game dev, I whip up my Polish cooking skills...

[Glaurung]

Wow, that all looks very tasty. What are they all?

[Koobazaur]

Taters, fried beets and ground pork cutlets! aka kotlety mielone i buraczki Polish goodness

I want to learn to do some more interesting recipes, but rarely seem to get time

My parents bought us some stroopwafels back from The Netherlands (They were actually away in Rome but they had a flight transfer there) and they are delicious!

I'm going to have a second attempt at crumpet pizzas and hopefully do it better this time!

[Koobazaur]

So how did the pizza go?

[Jubal]

Well! I didn't get photos though sadly

I need to photograph/film some of the recipes I've tried recently, I've been doing some Georgian cooking which is really nice (though it's also liable to bankrupt me because walnuts are basically in everything and they're quite costly in the UK :/ )

Any interesting food news from the Koob?

I've not generally been eating a lot because I need to cut weight but then last night I misjudged how much rum is in a small bottle of rum and I ended up eating a pizza and some things that came with the pizza which IIRC were potato wedges and I think I ate some birthday cake too. Weight cut may not go so well. Also none of those things were veganish. Ahh well.

[Jubal]

Pentagathus - ever the answer to the question "why is the rum gone?"
