It's just the quintessential UK dish in the media, and I thought would be fun to start a food thread. We're pretty heavily into seafood over this way. Some 80% of our 20 million live on the coast. The only issue is that often our best produce goes overseas as domestic prices are much lower. This month, I've had fresh prawns (shrimp to our USA LUG folk), grilled barramundi, wonderful fresh mud crab, lobster (crayfish) and today some seafood Laksa, Vietnamese style, lots of prawns, fish, scallops, coriander, spices, chilli, rice vermicelli, mint, chilli, chilli paste, sprouts, clear stock, did I mention chilli? There's a Nordic chef on one of the lifestyle channels that I'd love to have cater for a dinner party. Actually I don't recall any recipes that appealed, but... Nigella in the UK, similarly for her lush goodies. Hey I'm starting to think that food might be fun as a contest theme.

Living on the coast as I do, I take smoked fish for granted. We have quite a few different varieties. Bon apetit! Daniel G Hopkinson wrote: > Well I'm salivating now!
