And I will be having my share of all the yummy things.life's too short.
May you all have a yummy, happy, tummy filled easer.

Fermented fish -- like thats better then crostini. I couldnt think of anything worse. Apart from the Clostridium botulinum risks, fermented fish can also have a build up of toxic biogenic amines e.g histamine

Not bumping just for sport or stirring like you, uli.
I searched for an appropriate 'Toast' thread to post my link and this one was the most relevant.

". Thinly sliced bread, either toasted or drizzled with olive oil and baked till crisp (crostini) is a godsend at this time of year."
And this is supposedly a GOOD and feted cook! YUCK!
Lol. I see he recommended battered and deep fried sushi. Yum - not. I'm in 2 minds about the breadcrumbed and deep fried rice rissotto balls but I'mdefinite about not cooking it with caramelised onion. I've always disliked carmelised onion -doesn't work as either a sweet or a savoury imo.

He seems like a thoroughly nice man, and he writes well, but I've never fancied many of his recipes, and his various Auckland restaurants don't get particularly good reviews.
I wouldn't think that he actually writes that column in the Herald though.The advice in it is often pretty amateurish.

Same - also delicious with nice ripe blue cheese or brie, or pesto, or any other dip you care to mention actually .

I'll be an echo.what is wrong with crostini!
Is this propaganda from the anti-grain society!

They sound fine for the ! that was asked. And I have copied the rissoto balls recipe, will give them a try sometime.

The problem with crostini (or even worse, toast)is that they go soggy almost straight away, but a lot of cooks think that they can assemble them in advance.When they were the height of fashionI used to make them for catering jobs and was always careful to assemble them only at the last minute - not very convenient.

I prefer blinis to crostini. When you bite into toast it goes everywhere - sometimes!

Mine don't go soggy - in fact, I can store mine for at least a week in a Tupperware box.You're baking the bread until it's hard like croutons rather than making toast.

Just because it doesn't appeal to you .you & your mate have to knock! Why!

Well - if you think that ".Thinly sliced bread, either toasted or drizzled with olive oil and baked till crisp." is something that "APPEALS"then good luck!
