So you saying you prefer eating live animals? so Korean of you

Not the easiest thing to eat. Those are sticking to your teeth.

So.it's been a few weeks and no hint to what this is yet?

I'm sticking with my guess of a passion fruit sauce over a panna cotta, perhaps a coconut one.

White chocolate panna cotta with passion fruit gel with a layer of white chocolate mixed with a bit of matcha in between

Fresh is good! Of course the squid is dead, but the wriggling is off-putting to most people. Still, oysters are eaten alive and there's not nearly the revulsion with that.

Have eaten many things but not sure I'm up to that. Oysters, no problem,but never seen them move like those guys,and have seen a few women with less life than them too

 

[groovejuice]

I'm not squeamish about the movement, but I'd be concerned about added risk for choking.

 

[angusyoung]

Don't do it often,but made some steak cut fries,double fry in olive oil and just a hint of sea salt,no need for any other condiments.

I do prefer them in a more traditional way.

Am a Seafarer, or at least was. Lmao! I’d pass on the wiggles... but if hungry enough? They are going down the hatch! Fresh oysters? Good Lord! We’d eat them raw when we could find them. Funny, how being on or close to the sea/ocean changes the pallet. Hope all of you are doing great!

Made what I thought was Greek baklava which incurred a rather heated debate.Made it with walnuts only and was scolded that it must be a blend of nuts.Have made it with a blend and only walnuts in the past and do not see a huge difference,all was great!

Think there will be some good fresh beef steaks coming soon as the other morning was awoken by the sound of a cow mooing. Looked for it but didn't see any,sounds can travel very far sometimes. I had kept the bedroom doors that lead to the terraces open just keeping the screen-doors and shutters closed. Went for a run and a swim and saw my friends when back and they thought they heard the mooing also,got to investigate to see whats going on,we can't all be going crazy!

This looks really nice.

Shortrib, kimchi, obviously rice, but what's at the top? What are the sauces?

At the top I believe (and knowing @Zaide ) is spinach made the Korean way (Sigeumchi namul).

The orange sauce may be some kind of spicy mayo sauce?

Seaweed salad. Sauce is nothing fancy... mayo made using rice vinegar and sesame oil, and mixed with gochujang. The smaller translucent droplets are some of the seawood vinaigrettes that was left. I let you guess why there's a big splash besides it!!

Dang, I was mistaken on the green stuff

Looking at it again, there's a clear lack of stems for it to be spinach.

Never thought of making mayo with sesame oil, but that sounds delicious.

It might be overpowering for some. But I like the taste of sesame oil by itself and use it generously in various things.

Seared/braised beef cheek, potato squash puree and roasted vedge. Looks rustic, pretty happy!

 

[groovejuice]

Like all the food you post, this looks fantastic!

 

[Le Tricolore]

It's hard to beat a gin and tonic sometimes.
