    It must be at least 40 years since I last tasted bream which I caught myself from the Sydney river system.

    Lovely taste but I have never tried sea bream. Is there a significant taste difference between Sea and River Bream?

    Yeah, that would have been good but we had no lemons. Before now I've substituted limes for cooking fish but lime seems to go bitter when cooked and it ruined the dish.

    I think the picture of the cat answers that completely, stupid, moronic, frankly violation of human rights type suggestion.

    Last night saw something completely different.

    Spaghetti carbonara served modern style and with a side of Mediterranean salad.



    Yum...

    I was wondering that.

    I would have thought it was the corrupted version with cream, but that looks more like the original, authentic style.

    ^ Modern style is to add a small bantam egg to the plated up carbonara and give it a little stir, then let the heat from the spaghetti cook the egg through.

    This gives that lovely rich 'yokey' look at the top of the dish.

    I don't know if it's officially called 'modern style', but it's how one new restaurant does it in Korat and it seems pretty modern to me.

    Never been there meself, mind... just seen the pictures.

    No, it's the authentic way to make the dish.

    Perhaps an Italian gourmand has blessed Korat with his/her presence?

    ^ I wish she would... it would be lovely to have someone older than the age of 10 to talk to.

    I am a pretty instinctive cook, mind.

    Must admit, I'm a bit bewildered by getting praise for my cooking... a wind up surely?

    Hope you just add the yolk and not the whole egg?

    ^

    Indeed, carbonara (authentic) has not cream. Only an egg (or two) broken into the spaghetti to provide the creamy richness. Do the same in mashed potato!!!

    ^^ My carbonara has no cream, but it does have a shit load of cheese.

    A lot of these old recipes stand to be improved, I feel.

    ^^^^^Looks like a mouthwatering carbonara masterclass Mendip. Top stuff.

    Never have I ever had BBQ lamb until a lovely lady from Guangzhou brought 6 chops over for a Friday BBQ tonight.

    In fact I don't think I have ever bought lamb in my life.

    Just added salt and pepper before roasting them well done, smoky and sizzling.

    Went to the local Irish pub tonight. Seattle is mostly all vaccinated and people are out everywhere. Things are getting back to normal. Sorry, I ate half my fish and a few chips before I shot this.

    Almost treasonous innit.

    I barely buy red meat. I put chicken in my Indian curries. On the rare occasion I buy red meat it is always beef.

    That is my hairy knee in the corner Strigs, but I was forced to repair indoors at half-time for long trousers as the nights have a nip in the air in June.


    ^cannae remember the last time I had a pint of smithwicks

    Staggered, totally staggered.

    Are you immune to all these lamb ads?

    I did enjoy those chops last-night and they were cooked perfect. Still tender and pink inside and charred on the edges outside. And it does have a distinctive flavour, but...

    I think I would still go for beef over lamb if forced into a choice.
