No more chocolate cake, chocolate brownie etc until I can get some fairtrade cocoa and coffee after watching 'The Dark Side of Chocolate'.What if those kids sold into slavery at the Cacao Plantations were mine?

This recipe is from an old Queenstown recipe book - it might be quite delicious, but is just a little strange ;) GORSE FRITTERS 1 cup freshly picked gorse flowers 4 eggs 1/2 cup shredded watercress S & P to season 2 Tbsp self-raising flour Beat eggs, flour and seasonings, then add flowers and watercress.Fry in hot butter and serve immediately with sliced lemon and fresh watercress to garnish.

From the same book, HOMEMADE MARGARINE.This might cause a stir ;) 1lb Cremelta 1.5 cups Vegetable Oil 1.5 cups Carrot Juice 1.75 tsp salt Soften cremelta and mix in carrot juice and salt.Beat in oil and juice slowly and alternately until a creamy consistency. From 'Henrietta's Book of Recipes & Formulae', from Closeburn Homestead, built at the turn of the 20th century as the original Lower Shotover Pub.Written and illustrated by Henrietta Rutherford-Jones.

Got some down my drive elliehen ifyou'd like it! See a host made it last week on House Guest. The guest thought it was a bit spicy (hot). Don't know if I'd taste it?

Packet Tai curry mixes. Some of them stink out the house. They taste good though...

KAANGA WAI is also something that will remove anyone in a 1km radius around you, its rotten corn, a family i used to live with as a teen used to make it, he'd put the sweetcorn in a sack in the stream and leave it there for weeks until it went all squishy them bring it in and cook it up like porridge...

Kidneys. Dissected them at school around the time Mum would cook them up. They are just pee strainers. Yuck!

mashed carrots and parsnip - my Dad used to make us eat it as kids when Mum was too sick to cook.Yuk!
I well remember an american cooking contest show where a bimbo judge told a french woman chef that she should have soaked the kidneys overnight to take away the kidney taste. The Chef was dumbfounded 'why would you want kidneys to not taste like Kidneys'.
Ellie you are officially an old chook.

Just curious, what is a 'kidney' taste? Imo, kidneys taste like piss/urine.

Shark or lemon fish. Won't cook it and won't eat it under any circumstances. If I do not know what sort of fish is being served I don't eat.
You just never know WHO it has been eating.

oysters - gross!!! One of the most over rated foods out there as far as I'm concerned - whether you like them raw or cooked, they are just wrong and will never be gracing my kitchen anytime ever!!
