OK, I'm sold. Got a link to the recipe?

Also, have those pickles been fried?

Not fried no! Didn't think to do that.I oughta try them for me next venture for sure, which will probably employ TVP (should soak up more so can maybe sautee the shrooms rather than baking em, chuck in an extra egg, and need less breadcrumbs / rice)

Veggie Burgers

Veggie Burger for meat lovers! Packed with so much flavour, you'll want to eat them straight out of the skillet. Low on beans, high on veggies, these vegetarian burgers have a substantial "meaty" texture that's moist but never soggy.

I was busy watching a beautiful sunset over the ocean.

It just looked a bit like the pickles had been fried. It was probably the onions I was seeing. I've never heard of anyone frying pickles, just use them straight from the jar.

Thanks for the link.

Cap made one of those once. Cap you are saying it's not what it looks like, so what exactly is going on here?

Don't want to spoil it, but the sequels get worse and worse

I wouldn't go swimming at this time but many do. That's shark time.

A friend of mine just bought an old Boeing 747 and he plans on turning it into a restaurant.

I doubt it will take off.

 

[Over The Post]

A man goes into a bar and downs three shots of whiskey. As the booze took hold, he yelled, "Trump is a complete arseh*le!"

A giant of a man stood up and said threateningly, "You’d better take that back!"

The drunk said, "Why, are you a Trump supporter?"

The big bloke said, "No, I'm an arseh*le."

I saw a car with a bumper sticker, "I'm a vet, therefore I drive like an animal".

Suddenly I realised how many gynecologists there are on the roads.

A home cooked apple pie with a great pie crust can be a wonderful thing. With cream or vanilla ice cream.

Similarly, one of the best desserts I ever had was a homemade mulberry tart with cream.

A superb steamed pudding is pretty good.

Chocolate blini - rich gooey centre and a delectable crust

tiramisu

Tarte tatin - love the combination of apple, dark caramelised sauce and pastry.

Home made ice cream - so creamy and the flavours seem that much stronger than shop bought.

An Eton Mess can be pretty bloody good (I love meringue)

Have to agree with Black Forest Cake... a good one is hard to beat!

And how do they taste separately ?

Kenney!

I'm not sure. I am a very fast eater but this bunch of desserts all work together I can assure you!

These are the only AB's I know. What are you lot talking about?

I usually spend half my time around BF scratching my head over the Aus idioms... glad it's not just me this time.

 

[Braklet]

Ours is pretty low stress. Mostly go grocery shopping separately but just occasionally we go together for a big shop. Just stroll up and down aisles, getting whatever either of us want. I do miss the inner city food markets though - they made shopping a pleasure.

Mrs. Brak doesn't like to bring me to the grocery store... I like to look at all the choices and explore. She likes to have a prepared list and fill it in as little time possible.

She: "this isn't a museum, you know!"

 

[Braklet]

Look, I don't want to shock you.

But AB retired a few years ago , I know, breaking news to WA, but it happened.

Wait... I thought AB had something to do with late night post-drunk food? Sigh...

This comment thread made me google jellied eels...

I am now intrigued and kind of want to give them a shot

Ugh, nope:

Jellied eels - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"Typically, the eels are chopped (shucked) into rounds and boiled in water and vinegar to make a fish stock with nutmeg and lemon juice, before being allowed to cool. The eel is a naturally gelatinous fish, with the cooking process releasing proteins, like collagen, into the liquid, which solidify upon cooling to form a jelly, though gelatin may be added in order to aid this process."

Not even on a dare.

If you really want to elicit respect at your culinary bravery, Kinky Kitty, then I suggest giving this a try:

Surströmming - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"During the production of surströmming, just enough salt is used to prevent the raw herring from rotting while allowing it to ferment. A fermentation process of at least six months gives the fish its characteristic strong smell and somewhat acidic taste.[2] A newly opened can of surströmming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world, even stronger than similarly fermented fish dishes such as the Korean hongeo-hoe, the Japanese kusaya or the Icelandic hákarl, making surströmming an acquired taste."

Lightly battered deep fried pickle chips have been a thing in the States for a few years, no idea where they originated but they can be pretty good.

Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Brak and I treated ourselves to a ten dolla (!) plate of deep fried banana pepper rings. I'm glad to say they were really good, but more of a $7.50 appetizer IMO.
