NoFakie 45 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Scouser (and other brits) A Tim Tam is basically a Penguin biscuit in a different packet. Not bad, but nothing special. A bit sickly tbh. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I know Penguin biscuits. As you say nothing special. I want to get some Wagon Wheels. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 penguin biscuits may be nothing special, but Tim Tams are the bomb! Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I still keep coming back to the Angel Pies. That crab stuff looks awful. I don't like bones and shells in my food. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Haha, I feel the same way about chocolate. I just hate sweet stuff. Now, if the crab was raw, then that's the kind of sweet I adore. Link to post Share on other sites

amandanism 0 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 i think i'd prefer a lamington to a timtam. but both are nothing special to be fair. the crab looks good though Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 crab cream and miso, now that is something to die for. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Yesterday I had home-made scotch eggs and corned beef pie. Very good it was too. I'm on a cooking boom right now. I hate it when work gets in the way of that on a weekday, often too hungry to want to spend the time after work cooking that slow food. Link to post Share on other sites
merryJim 1 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I got some omiyage from someone that is really good. Small boxes of cookies with Eriya (and Tokyo Nakano) written on them. I really like the cheese flavored sticks. Very nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Fossil 0 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Sour salted plums. I just love em. One of the japanese students who boarded with us gave us some and I was the only person in the family to develop a taste for the little kidney killers. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I like sweet potato... anything. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Me too. Sweet potato pie, yum.my. Not sure about sour salted plums. I have had the Eriya cookies before, nice. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I have been making a lot of sukiyaki recently and am getting quite good at it I can tell you. Really like a strong tasting one, lots of the ones I have had in shops have been rather weak. Next day leftovers really good too. Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I love Japanese food generally but my versions of Japanese meals also get a stronger taste as well. Apart from ikanoshiokara and natto of course which doesn't need a stronger taste Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 What I've been enjoying recently is taking some hot gyoza home from a ramen place, and then crisping them up on the stove. Not exactly diet food, but very yummy! Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Drunk. Hungry. Found some Honey Nuts Crunch corn flakes. Ate the whole box. Yum. Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 You are forgiven for being drunk Gyoza are great hey v? There's a take out gyoza place fairly near where I live and I often pick up 2 packs to take home and crisp up myself. Great after a night out too. Link to post Share on other sites

The shape was a little unconventional, so technically they are Oishida pasties. Yum Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 strawberries - theyre quite cheap at the supa and have had quite a few batches of em ...when it warms up some more it will be nice having smoothes again Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Oishida pasties sound good to me. I have not yet had a really successful pie-like pastry here in Japan. I suppose it is good to have things to look forward to like that when you make your way home. Link to post Share on other sites

Pasties should have short pastry, but in this case she used flaky, which I prefer. She buys in the pastry for her sweet pastries because getting it consistently right is quite an art, and her supplier has excellent QC. Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Oh and I love nozawana whenever I go to Nagano and Niigata. Every time it's pickled differently. Goes really good with Niigata rice and beer, mmm.. Link to post Share on other sites
