Green, Blue or XXXX ?

Khichuri. A mixture of lentils and rice. With black butter on top. When it is pouring with rain and I've been soaked on the way home.

Black butter? I have never heard of that before. Is it named for its taste or from the colour?

[GrownUp]

It is sometimes called clarified butter I think. Which sounds very laboratory-like. It is just ordinary butter which has been heated until it bubbles, and the salt turns it black and it is traditionally used as a sauce with grilled fish. "Sole in black butter sauce."
It smells amazing. An antidote to any thunderstorm you could think of.

Yes I have heard of clarified butter before. Thank you for the explanation.

As long as it tastes as amazing as it smells, although I think it might take me a little getting used to the colour mainly!!

Oh it melts into foods, leaving them looking caramelly.

Loverly.

Soup. I love soup. Tomato, and potatoe and leek especially.

I think the ultimate comfort food is cheese. Can't beat it melted over anything. Delicious. Cheddar, Parmesan, Gorgonzola, pretty much all types.

Mmmm, wendslydale. I hate mouldy cheese though, yukky.

I usually get a real Vintage cheese with a very strong flavour. Wonderful with sliced ham in toasties or on crackers. I often grate some of it and mix with parmesan to put on top of a spaghettie bolognoise.

Mind you, I'm a bit like Alien up there, the Gorgonzola is particularly nice. It goes well with lots of dishes.

I like that wenslydale which comes with cranberries in, mmmm.

Yes wenslydale is very nice, so are many of the English cheeses. I prefer mine with out the fruit though.

Oh, just a sudden thought - PANCAKES Rolled up with lemon juice and a little sugar... All this talk about food is making me feel peckish!!

Dinner was all right tonight- chicken kiev- so I'm not too hungry. I just feel sort of weird cos I'm stuck in my rom on my own, but as I need to get up early tomorrow to work it's no bad thing.

Oh you lucky thing, Chicken Kiev. Have you tried the chicken breasts filled with prawns? Sounds strange but has a great taste.
