^^ Never heard of putting ketchup in a borscht.... But looks like a great recipe.

But where's the cabbage? And I would use beef broth instead of chicken broth.
I would use something (anything!) else besides beets (ugh!)...

They are not Italian doughnuts. They are Berliner Phannkuchen. Can be had from Denninger food store in Burlington and Hamilton.
When Kennedy said "Ich bein ein Berliner" he was really saying "EAT ME"...

Why would I go to Burlington when I can get bombolini within walking distance (in summer) of my house.

The Amazing Debora makes Crespelle, the dish that was Bobby Flay's worst loss on his cooking competition show - he looked panic stricken.

He should start with curatelle before progressing to haggis.

The dead of winter, have restrictions been lifted? No point in bringing the ultimate Canadian Winter Comfort Food home.
I prefer Osso Buco, which I made often in the cold months back in the old country.

A curse on Vice, they blocked Uncle Roger's review of Matty Matheson's Butter Chicken.

There seems to be a large number of foodies on Terb. What do you crave? What food do you make better than what's available in TO? What trends do you like, which ones do you hate? or simply post your food porn pictures/videos.


I'll start with Poke. This seems to have been a big trend in mainland North America in 2016/17 and all over Toronto (usually as an appetizer). But the stuff that passes as "Poke" really disappoints - a lot of filler (avocado, lettuce, usually mayo only). I like real Hawaiian style Poke (and even that is different from island to island). My favourite is Oahu Shoyu Poke which in it's basic form is: fish, finely chopped Maui onion (which is just a sweet onion), salt, Soya sauce, kukui nut relish (candle nut), some form of seaweed, sesame and sesame oil. Maybe some heat in the form of crushed chili. I like it in a bowl served on a bed of rice. You can't get it here but it's really easy to make at home with some substitutions for stuff you can't find (eg: Ground sesame instead of kukui nut relish, finely chopped Japanese pickles instead of Limu - also combined with the ground sesame tastes a lot like kukui nut relish). The key is good sushi grade fish (usually tuna or salmon) so it can get pricey for what should be a simple dish. Of course in Hawaii stores and restaurants can buy directly from a fisherman - so fish is incredibly fresh and cheap too.

Here's a picture of the Poke available at Foodland on the North Shore of Oahu. You can get a decent sized bowl of this on a bed of rice for about $9 U.S. Absolutely delicious and believe it or not some of the best Poke on the Island - they have about a dozen varieties available and because of turnover, it is always fresh. I'm going to the North Shore for a week after Christmas with the kids and all I can think about is the food. Foodland Poke (good fried chicken too), Ted's Bakery, food trucks, Haleiwa bowls, fresh mango's, bananas... Hope the surfing is good for this "older guy" too (but if it's really pumping, I'll be on shore patrol: eating LOL!).




Craving the foie gras at Lapinou with just a bit of salt flower.

The Amazing Debora making a Spanish Torta and just slightly promotes herself. Shyest online chef ever.

Another Einstein moment from Marjorie Taylor Green. She said that Pelosi has her own Nazi Gazpacho Units.

In honour of this moment of Zen.
