My sister in law gave me a sourdough starter last week, and I tried my first attempt at something using the sourdough discard over the weekend, just a basic rosemary and sea salt foccaccia. I need to fiddle with yeast and olive oil amounts to get a slightly better rise, but it was damn tasty dipped in olive oil with balsamic vinegar.

- i'm currently experimenting with doing my own curing/air drying. just need to find a way to keep all the cats and foxes (and probably rats) away while it dries.hans_glib
- At the most basic level, all you really need is a fridge modded for additional ventilation. That should keep curious critters from getting to the good stuff.Continuity
- Eugh, pigeon. No thanks. Once and never more again.Nairn
- love pigeonhans_glib
- @continuity: yes i know, but i thought it'd be more fun to try it the old fashioned way. i found a supermarket delivery cage in the street so...hans_glib
- it seemed rude not to grab it give it a go. it'll do to keep out the large animals, but the rats... not so sure.hans_glib
- @hans - maybe the stuff I had wasn't good (certainly the rest of the fayre wasn't amazing) but I found it incredibly dry, bony and meatless.Nairn
- only the breast are worthwhile unless you like sucking bones (which i do). and yes it needs to be stewed ideally, or else it can be very dry.hans_glib
- i'm guessing the stuff pictured is squab pigeon, larger and vey posh - far removed from yer common or garden wood pigeonhans_glib

Please, if you're going to trust my judgement on a video watch, it's really important that you watch these at 2x speed in YouTube. They make so much more sense that way.
- Second one at 0.5x speed, perhaps.Nairn

I finally got around to trying Zambreros.
I really wish I hadn't. So bland. So sweet. So nickel'n'dimed.
Not even Tex-Mex. Shit.
- Oh, and apparently I caught food poisoning. Haven't shat and thrown up this much since I had Norovirus a few years back.
Weeee.Nairn - Don't die, Nairn.Continuity
- Oh, I'm fine now but fuck if I felt like shit yesterday. A lost a night's sleep sat on the shitter and a day on the couch feeling sorry for myself.Nairn
- Fun thing is - my partner left for three weeks working away on Sat night (hence Mex 'treat' for me and kid) and all plans for y'day with kid were fucked,Nairn
- I'm just very thankful the kid didn't fall ill. I would have been fucking furious if my kid had been contaminated. Grrr.
Still not heard back from my complaint.Nairn - You'd have been furious? I reckon Mrs Nairn would've had your bollocks for earrings, for poisoning junior whilst she's away.Continuity
- Oh, and apparently I caught food poisoning. Haven't shat and thrown up this much since I had Norovirus a few years back.

- Yeah, actually had it and it's great. But imagine it was insects, you'd say no way, but ocean insects = yum.shapesalad
- i've not had many chances to eat insects, but I am at least curious to try.scruffics
- And many commercially grown prawns are literally fed pig faeces.
mmm.Nairn - Micro plastic on rice, with a hint of mercury.shapesalad
