The fish stew was simple but flavourful. Fish stews are awesome, you can throw in all sorts of leftover fish and pretty much anything else.
At the supermarket today I tasted a fruit jam that I never tried before, and never knew that it existed. Technically tomato is a fruit, and the tomato jam which had chillies in it was really nice. It was made with pectin sugar so it had a jam rather than a sauce consistency. It was nice on toast and I presume it would go well with a variety of foods including burgers, sausages and even some stronger tasting cheeses.

A very interesting article titled “7 Wackiest Fried Foods”. Many of the items on the list are not big surprises since you may have heard of them already. These include deep fried candy bars, pickles, oreos, burgers, bugs and kool-aid. There is one on the list which I thought was quite innovative, and perhaps specially developed for those who like to complain about greasy batter, deep fried butter. This will make even a greasy batter seem dry. The main ingredients in deep fried butter are butter, flour, water, salt and some oil. These are the same ingredients for making pastry, except that deep fried butter probably has a much higher percentage of butter.
The one that I have always wanted to try is deep fried candy bar such as mars bars. I might have to do this at home one day. I once stayed at a hotel in Azerbaijan where it was possible to order deep fried mars bars through the takeaway menu. Perhaps lot of Scots visited the hotel, or the Azeri's thought deep fried mars bars were a popular treat outside of their country.

ReplyDeleteI wanted to try that as well, We have deep fried mars bars here and they are sold in some fish and chips shops, my only concern do they deep fry it as well in the same place where they fry the fish and chips.
