Food you don't understand

[ChippySauce]

Crumbed ham.

I don't get it.
What does the crumb bring?
It can't be textural as it's usually soggy.
Can any crumbed ham aficionados please enlighten me?

Are there other food mysteries you'd like clearing up?

I also love spinach I use it instead of lettuce and cook it down as a vegetarian although I do use butter and salt so maybe not the healthiest 😀

Spinach gets put in everything here!
It's such an easy green vegetable to use, as it wilts down to nothing but you know it's in there.

I LOVE fruit in cheese:)
Each to their own....

*As a vegetable. Im not a vegetarian 😀

Can sniff it out😀

Halloumi = tasteless rubber. My kids love it though….

Try frying it, it’s game changer. Add a bit of
oil to non stick pan and fry till golden. Better if you pre soak for about 1/3 hour to get rid of the excess salt.

That’s what I do and a quick slug if cheap red wine and a dollop of Dijon and tastes great to me - I don’t actually like this watery jus type gravy much

@CalzoneOnLegs , I really fancy some kippers , can I borrow a candle ? 😃

@DeanStockwelll
Hiya ! okay I can report on the candle, appearance lovely, in a glass holder, nice shade of green, not a lot of smell to the wax, or when burning so I’m not convinced that any scented candle would be any different. However, I have used it albeit what I’ve been cooking is not strong smelling (excpet if you think Brussels sprouts are 🤣🤣) and there actually were no cooking smells. It’s definitely less noticeable smell wise than when I’ve used a nag champa stick but they are actually a bit much ! (But do the trick when daal has been made)
so for £2.50 they are worth a try 🕯️
enjoy your kippers 🐟

Creme Eggs & Wagon Wheels. Horrible.

@CherryRipe1 marshmallow is so horrible 🤮🤮🤮

Yes! yeesh 🤢 Forgot Tunnocks tea cakes and Walnut Whips

Agree with marshmallows!

Also… Jaffa cakes. How to ruin a chocolate biscuit

Tea. The smell. It just makes me 🤢

@minipie its in the same category as candy floss and haribo to me, just rubbish with no redeeming qualities at all

Cake though.....not biscuit.
They went to court over that 😂😂😂

I love marshmallows, especially in the form of s’mores. Tis the season!

Jaffa Cakes always seem slightly stale to me.

Ooh I bloody love a Jaffa cake.

Don’t know why I’m lying to myself, it’s never one Jaffa cake is it? 🤭

Lol nope its the whole pack !! Love them
Another one for me is marrow what the hell do you do with them ?

@CalzoneOnLegs , that sounds ideal, I dislike strong smelling candles I think they just mask the smell but if that one isn't to strong and by some wizardry cancels out smells that's great.
The kippers were nice but I think I can still smell them 😦

@DeanStockwelll have you ever had ‘bloaters’ 🤣🤣 I’ve seen pictures and I can’t say they look very appealing. Mum used to cook kippers they were in a plastic boil in the bag is that still the case? The VERY WORST thing ever was ‘fish bits’ from the fishmonger for the cats boiled up on a Saturday morning with two Siamese cats yowling their heads off until it was cooled down.it was a horrendous smell and noise! No candles in those days 😢 sadly one if my most vivid memories

@Xatz63 have you tried the Polish ‘jaffa’ cakes with raspberry, cherry or apricot filling, they are nice, really dark chocolate on them, they have them in Lidl Polish week
