@voodoo Nah, it's all about the balance between spicy and sweet. I forgot it also had macamadamias in it for crunch.
How about a nice prawn, avo and mango dish?
Mango or macadamia = not acceptable food. Yuk to both. There are many better nuts than macadamias, you know the ones that actually taste nutty and don’t have the consistency of soap. Mango I just don’t like but would grudgingly accept it could have appeal to some people.

@Catogrande Yeah I love seasoning any large piece of lamb or beef with anchovy. My wife rails at the suggestion, but the amount of times she's eaten anchovy-seasoned meat and not known it....
I assume you’re just going by what she says rather than the look on her face?

Fillet steak, flat pan with butter constantly basted.
Steamed broccoli I
Potato gratin.
Bloody excellent anniversary dinner for around 12 pounds with a taste profile of 7.5/10.
Looks great, nice plating effort also!

Learning how to perfect a steak is a constant learning experience. I thought I could cook a good steak but then you learn something new.
Complacency is the enemy.

Had home made KFC tonight based on the leaked recipe
Broke down a whole chicken and pre-brined overnight. There was enough dredging flour for 3kg of chicken I reckon so I was disappointed at the waste. The right sided line of pieces was batch one, oil was too hot
Got the temperature (350F) much better on the later batches
Tasted pretty damn close to the real thing

@canefan the stuff in KFC is cooked in a pressure cooker, IIRC about 180c for 14 mins...all the breading that fell to the bottom was then used for the gravy, I think they stopped doing that years ago though.

Thought the leftover sludge looked familiar!

There's a decent joke there

It's the Japanese umami thing. When you stab holes and stuff a lamb leg with garlic and a piece of anchovy, every bite you have that contains stuffing is so much better than the rest
