    Talk to me about prawns and shrimp. Where is a good place to buy or order them from in Auckland?

    Do you buy asian farmed, or stick with wild caught from Australia, Argentina etc?

    Can you buy good quality items headless and/or de-veined? Or is it only whole?

    Auckland Fish Market!! I will be there this weekend! My favourite place to visit for fresh seafood and for casual dining/drinking.

    Further more, in the spirit of looking out for each other, if you want me to buy you some and post them to you, let me know

    @Crucial could have cooked up a decent breakfast in a fraction of the time they wasted.

    Even using the same ingredients - well substitute flat breads for the chips. Shakshuka anyone? You've even got @Bones tomatoes.

    Well la dee daa, look who can afford fancy bread.

    Sorry sir!

    Shakshuka sounds awful.

    Going through the freezer and I want to use some of what's in there over the next week or so to free up some space.

    Today I have just put the following into the oven and it already smells great https://www.eatwell.co.nz/recipe/18088/Curried-sausages/

    Also got a whole duck out. Would like to do it "peking" style but need some tips before I go chat to uncle google.

    I have a shitload of sausages arriving this weekend so cheers!

    I barely deviated from this recipe too(Added chopped garlic to the onions). It is a banging flavour. I did it in a dutch oven dish in the oven, covered at 140C for about 5 hours. Browned the Sausies off first quickly so not to cook through.

    @Hooroo I see it's for potato lovers. Have to say I'm a fan of any recipe that sneaks in 500g potatoes immediately after 500g potatoes. I mean who wants 1kg potatoes?

    Potatoes.

    Potatoes.

    I laughed at that too. To be fair, I only added the first 500gms or so. Used Rua and left the chunks a reasonable size so they didn't fall to pieces with the long cook.

    I add a combination of potatoes and kumara for a curried sausages dish. I might have to try that recipe.

    @Bovidae I'm about the worst kiwi raghead going. Can't stand Kumara, crustaceans or cucumber.

    @Bones Cucumber? So no mixing with the rich folk at Lords then.

    I hated having to use sweet potato as a poor substitute in the US.

    I only liked baked kumara with heaps of butter or perfectly caramelised roasted kumara. I wouldn't like it in this sausage dish.

    One thing that I have been doing lately that is new to me but will always do from now on, when doing mash potatoes, I add in a massive dollop of sour cream. Like half a pottle.

    Makes mash amazing. The curried Saussies are on mash tonight.

    Same same. Though not so much "can't stand " as "don't really get". Kumara is just a shit potato, cucumbers are just water in a green casing, and crustaceans are ok, tolerable if someone has made them edible for me, but totally not worth the effort of doing myself.

    @voodoo Kumara/sweet potato - yuck, cucumber - don't even like the smell, prawns etc make me gag and last time I tried cray I was in bed for 2 days and came out about 5kg lighter. Love mussels but any other shellfish also make me gag.
