Nosh: February 2005

Aw shucks, that was so sweet! I do promise to bring each and every one of you as much spotted dick as you like (wink.) And if you didn't see it there is a recipe for Pickle Soup (I am SO not kidding) in todays SF Chron (www.sfgate.com) --- I'm off to the airport now...

Ben's pickles are the BEST. Of course, nothing there is shabby. I ate in the NYC one last time I was there and the food was totally amazing. Beyond belief. And of course there's the celeb factor too.

When I can't get to the city I buy and eat BaTempte half sours. Very good and guaranteed to stink up the frig if you're not careful. They're still alive!

hi mia!

that microwaveable spotted dick looks frightening. sometimes i crave twiglets so much i contemplate paying through the nose for one of these online britshops to send them out to me, but aauugggggh, i haven't succumbed. yet.
it's not only the prices, but the shipping costs!

I know! Imagine the money one could make by offering a low-cost shipping solution for products going to/from europe to/from the u.s, the south-pacific, and a few other key locations where expats live. One would only need to set up a few strategic bases, ship palettes cheaply by sea, and open up shop on the internet. Then Santos could have her Twiglets (and Marmite) at a reasonable cost.

I'm not sure what, if any, American foods I'd miss overseas, but I'll tell you what -- if there was an Australian Shop somewhere in California, I'd pay hella cash for some Tim-Tams:

On second thought, if I actually can procure these here, please don't tell me. The last thing I need right now is eight boxes of Tim Tams sitting around the house.

Btw

Chickend and mint sauce crisps (chips) taste like cardboard with MSG and dried oinions. Yummy.

Beautiful sorbet! I had a dessert that paired a scoop of apple sorbet with a scoop of vanilla ice cream that was an amazing combination. The icey sweet of the apple paired nicely with the smooth creamy of the vanilla. thanks for reminding of this great pairing!

Thanks, Mc -- that's a wonderful idea - I'll have to do it next time I make the sorbet. I'm salivating just thinking about it!
