What I ate today - the food thread

Over the years I have made many a south american friend try vegemite. A couple of those people are still my friends.

Seriously, not a single one has said "yum", and about half suspect I have made them ingest a paste that is not actually a food product.

But personally, love the stuff! My preference is when on toast, it is spread thin over melted butter, but better still, it is eaten in large quantities with big chunks of cold butter in a french stick or similar. :)

Toast, butter, vegemite, Kraft cheese slice, chilli salami. Reminds me of Uni. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, midnight snack.
 
Quickstatus and Juddles, if you feel the need to try the taste of Musang King durian in Sydney, there's a Malaysian restaurant called Sydney Hawker that serves musang King durian fritters with ice cream. My friend took me there and ordered the dish - almost cleared the tables close to us. Didn't take long for the smell to reek through the entire restaurant as it was served steaming hot. :lol:
Personally I don't mind the taste but prefer mangosteen hands down over durians.

Will give it a miss I think because

1) Durian should be eaten uncooked immediately after opening one.
2) guarantee it won't be "Musang King". Like the vendors of Fish and chips who call the fish something expensive. You can virtually guarantee that the fish is not what they call it.

For those not in the know: Musang King is currently the most expensive variety mostly due to hype. As with all foods personal taste is the most important. There are several varieties of Durian each with its own flavour, taste, character. The more re expensive the better it is right??

Most wont be able to tell the difference and will just accept the word of the durian vendor. The picture I posted above has about 7 different varieties with different prices.,can you tell them apart?

Will check Sydney Hawker to see if they have other Malaysian cuisine. Thanks for the tip!

A taste of the sea (aka a fisherman's basket).

I'm not a great photographer, and too embarrassed taking too many photos of food, so failed to capture either the food or the lovely view behind it. Both were fabulous. You'll just have to trust me.

I make my own anchovy butter. Goes so well dipped into a soft boiled egg.

Looks amazing! I love anchovies.

I also love fish sauce, which I became addicted to when I worked with a Vietnamese friend who taught me a bit about their cuisine. Just after that I moved back to Chile where I lived by the sea with the locals catching loads of beautiful fresh anchovies. Seeing that I could not obtain fish sauce at that time I decided I would make my own - seems a simple process of fermenting anchovies and salt. Unfortunately my family stepped in and prevented the attempt. What could have gone wrong I ask??
 
Lunch in Werribee during the week is worthy of posting here.

A six egg omelette filled with potato, capsicum and cheese, served on a couple of large slices of sourdough toast.
