Well I couldn't resist this now could I ?

Thats usefull Armandii I'll try sprouting some.

Garlic Moths John

£3.69 PP, but that was the last sack at that price, think the newer ones were £4 something.

I'd love to have a wedge of cash to spend in that shop, they've got all sorts of wonderfull stuff.

Got some Lahori Fish Masala that actually makes your ears steam.

 

I used to use those as fishing bait Zig...great carpet bait for Carp or Barbel.

Steve...

 

Can you eat carp & barbel Steve?

 

Monks used to rear Carp in their stew ponds Zig...

Steve...

 

Cooked some up for a bean salad, quite nutty, very much like eating small moths.

Have put some to soak to see what the sprouts are like.

 

This bag of unknown beans (unknown to me, but surelly well known to many) is a very common sight here in East London, since we are in a multi ethnic area.
So we find this kind of produce (undoutably very healthy) in almost all food stores! Also we find rice in very big bags...it does give you that red cross aid feeling:D.
I swear when I have some little extra time I really want to give it a try to cook some exotic stuff like quinoa etc...
If you experiment them all for me , Ziggy, so then I will ask you...

 

I'm always bringing back stuff when I go to civilisation, last year it was Red Mullet Beans.



A nice bean but a spectaclier failure in the garden, one pod per plant:DOH:

 

Those 'whole crayfish' look rather small, more like shrimps.

 

I would guess they were brine shrimp too. Probably lost in translation.

Didn't matter what fish was served up in the Hotel in Tangiers, it was always "whitebait" on the menu.

 

put a handfull of those pieces of crayfish with some brown bread and the yolk of an egg

knead it till it is stiff like bread dough

you may have a good bait for river fishing? (for fish like carp or catfish)

 

Sounds more like breakfast than bait Dim
