Atta boy.

Sounds like excellent beer food
-
Used leftover bacalho a gomes de sa as the base for a Spanish tortilla, just added a bit of garlic and some sliced chillies. Was excellent.
-
Stovetop oatmeal with soy milk, vanilla whey protein, honey, and blueberries. 1g of fat, 30g of protein, lots of great antioxidants from the blueberries, so super healthy. The blueberries were frozen, so as they cooked the colour leached out and turned the entire dish into an unappealing looking grey mush, much like some kind of construction product. Tasted like one as well. 3/10 do not recommend.
-
Don't use milk...use water. It cleans up the taste a lot.
-
Made chocolate brownies out of some kanckered old overripe bananas. Put chilli in them.

I am currently mildly obsessed with pickled beansprouts. Most of a 450g bag of beansprouts, a julienned carrot, a couple of shredded green onions, and sliced thai chilli. Stuff them all in a jar, pour fresh pickling liquid up to the top (2 cups of water, 1 cup of white vinegar, tablespoon of sugar, salt, brought to the boil and then left to cool). Ready to eat 24 hours later.
-
I used to do that, although I can rarely be arsed to buy beansorouts these days. I am very into pickle and using vinegar as a seasoning. Cider vinegar, finger chillies, garlic, as the dressing for a slaw, for example. Not a massively dissimilar idea.
-
No, very much not. I am essentially making a pickled Asian slaw; I had a similar thing a few times in Thailand and the brightness really complements heavier noodle dishes. I'm very pleased I've been able to create a decent facsimile.
-
Beansprouts are the number one cause of food poisoning.
-
My number one cause of food poisoning was definitely eating an open can of hot dog sausages in a fridge (turned out they'd been there for three months).
Number two and three were oyster related incidents. Never had a noticeably bad reaction to beansprouts. Have you tried washing and sorting them?
-
Exactly. It's only the smaller ones that cause it. Fact.
-
Vegan sponge pudding and chocolate sauce, using gram flour. Nailed.

I had a weird experience with oysters. Used to love them and would by them from the Fish Market at the local Chinese store in Croydon with no issues, had a very bad experience one night and thought nothing more of it. The following week we were in a small restaurant just south of Calais where we had eaten oysters before several times, spent the night lying on the bath room floor being horrendously ill, got to the stage where I couldn’t even sit at the dining table with others when they ordered them.
About 8 years later. We had friends over for dinner and they bought Oysters, tried one and no repercussions - given we live by the water now we have them regularly and I’m right as rain.

Mrs Guru had a similar thing with skate. Used to love it, then had something dodgy and since then has never been able to eat it. No recovery so far.
-
My redemption arc was agreeing to review oyster eating for radio five live, after several years not getting on with them. Was perfectly fine, and got a very nice big box of them free - multiple dozens (given the production standards at the time, I'm pretty sure they had no idea how many they'd actually ordered).
Couldn't really be arsed with them after that though...hardly a 'favourite' to order, and cleaning and shucking dozens of oysters gets a bit tedious.
