    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    You can eat any of them so, yep can be. However most veg start to taste a bit rubbish when they get massive and old, and since the halloween ones are grown to be as big as possible i don't think they would be great for eating.

Big slices of fried courgette done in a pan with some good bacon and had a sandwich with some tomato relish or just ketchup is wicked too. Takes on the...

    Thanks for the tips, that all sounds good. Steamed Chinese sausage with ginger, boned chicken thighs and fresh/tinned shittake mushrooms is amazing with white rice, some soy.

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    That's got something of Wileys epic westwood freestyle about it, relentless bars but not sounding hurried, just in control, similar pace of mcing. Good stuff, he's got plenty of character devilman.

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    Yeah that would be pretty cool. The weirdest thing I think is contemplating the fact that chillies were only introduced to India and SE Asia from S America in the 1500s..so the common perception of that food all being inherently and historically spicy is somehow challenged. (If I have...
