Any Foodies Around?
115 Answers
What's the most interesting or complicated or scrumptious thing you've made recently?
I confess, much as I do love cooking (and eating) good food, I've not been very adventurous lately for one reason or another. I really need to make a batch of the famous ragu but can't be arrised at the mo.
I have some Swedish meatballs in the freezer so may make a sauce to have with them this week, don't hold your breath though.

I must agree with jd - I do not like bergamot in my tea.....elephant pee IMO...Chinese green tea or even better oolong - and with chrysanthemum in ('Ko Puh or Po') delish, or a good Assam or Ceylonese. As a blend, partial to Scottish Breakfast and Taylors of Harrogate make a mean one - in leaves and bags, the leaves infinitely better though.
“Thank you for providing me with convincing proof that you are seriously round the twist.”
Because I like tea?
Well thank you for providing me of proof that some people are too sensitive for the internet.
Some “crazy” tea facts.
Tea is the second most consumed drink in the world, after water. There are many types of teas, depending on their oxidation levels: green, yellow, oolong and black. Well-known varieties of black tea include Darjeeling, Assam, Turkish and Ceylon teas.
This fragrant beverage originated in China in 2737 BC. According to myth, a Chinese emperor was sitting under a Camellia sinensis tree while his servant boiled drinking water. The wind blew some leaves from the tree into the water and the emperor decided to try the drink that his servant created by accident. The tea culture was established in China for several centuries before it came to the West. Tea drinking was introduced in Japan during the late eighth century and became an important part of the Japanese culture. In the United Kingdom, tea is recognized as one of the country’s cultural beverages. Tea is also a popular beverage in Middle Eastern cultures.
In 2016, Turkey was the largest tea-consuming country in the world, with a per capita tea consumption of approximately 6.96 pounds per year. In contrast, China had an annual consumption of 1.25 pounds per person. In 2015, China was the leading global tea producer, followed by India and Kenya. That year, worldwide tea production amounted to around 5.2 million metric tons.“

I don’t think of myself as a foodie eth because like one other I trained as a professional and foodie tend to think they know about food where as I do know about food! Lol as for my portion it was on of each and the crab claws were small but I was very stuffed so had to sleep it off hence the delay in my reply
I like earls grey and bergamot as it’s a sophisticated drink that tantalises the taste buds with various notes and dimensions rather like myself. But I do like a strong builders tea/Yorkshire tea every once in a while.
“However I like it thick and strong, not the poncy stuff you advocate. A bag of Tetley's extra-strong does the bizz for me.”
Thick strong and basic? Okay now things are starting to make a lot of sense. :)
