I love crawfish.  However, Prince Albert is allergic to them.  I try not to eat something that someone can't have in front of them.  So, alas, my consumption of crawfish is limited.

That's sad.  Is he allergic to all shellfish or just to crawfish?

I made it a bit less spicy than average for Louisiana, so I think my husband enjoyed it too, but our daughter took a sniff, then tiny bite and said, "It smells like penguins.  EWW GROSS!"

Then she got herself a spoonful of peanut butter and a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal with milk.

She's allergic to corn, so we don't usually make corn at home anymore and we usually make popcorn only after she has gone to bed.

Only crawfish so far.  He can eat small amounts of strawberries, coconut, and milk, but his face and head will swell if he eats too much of them.  Any crawfish or ingested peanuts will make him react the same way but at small amounts of the food.

I have a crustacean allergy myself, I don't mind having people eat sea bugs i front of me. If your husband keeps eating stuff he is allergic to anaphylaxis could kill him, even on small portions.

Sea bugs...  :laugh:

Good point about allergies too. My brother has had mildly unpleasant reactions to nuts for some time now (itching in the mouth and inner ears,
esophageal spasm), but recently he had a worse reaction and now avoids nuts entirely and carries an Epi-Pen.

And now I'll get the hell out of this thread. It's too tormenting for me (too much stuff that  I'd like to eat, if not for the sensitivities) and far  too much gripingand moaning  for you., if i hang around and say what i'm thinking.  Enjoy!

Ha ha, I didn't notice that (it's just a photo I found on the net). I would hazard a guess that it's ten times better than what you'd get in an Indonesian restaurant in Europe/US/Australia.

You'd be surprised at how safe most street food is in Asia. Anywhere that has a decent turnover is usually good.

The worst thing about buying fried rice (nasi goreng gila, in one of the photos, is literally "crazy fried rice") in the street stalls is that it sometimes comes straight from the farm and has little pebbles mixed in with the rice. I cracked a tooth and had to have it extracted on one of those pebbles.

Thanks Ren and Walkie. I know I just disappear for months on end, it's getting colder so I probably will be spending more time indoors now that maybe it might be getting cooler outside.  :P

So I'll try and get on here.

Minister of silly walks, Thats nice. I probably wouldn't eat any of that because of parasites. I dont wanna be crappin worms for a month
Funny enough you could probably bag up the worms you crap and sell it on the street as noodles  :laugh:

First time I travelled to Asia for work, 1988 in Malaysia, I got horrendously sick a couple of times from eating in restaurants and hotels, but the street food was superb and fresh and clean and I never got sick from that as far as I know. There are a few things to watch out for like plates and utensils not properly washed, or vegetables washed in tap water, or ice in your drink. But the food is almost always fresh and safe as long as you go for something high turnover.

A lot of people look at the street food and think it looks dodgy, so they end up eating in tourist places that look clean and serve what they think a foreigner imagines that Vietnamese or Thai or Indonesian food is like. Where the food looks and tastes like a 2nd rate copy of the "Thai" food that you'd buy in Australia, for example. And the food is actually less fresh and much more likely to make you sick.

My Dad worked as a chef on a cruise liner before he married and settled down. He told us horror stories about what went on behind the scenes ( like when the Captain pissed off another chef, so he got his revenge by wiping  his dick with the Captain's steak). Dad wouldn't eat out at all, not at home nor abroad,  if he could possibly avoid it.

PS curiously, Dad completely gave up cooking too, and never explained that.  He, wouldn't cook so much as a sausage, and left all that to my Mum's culinery naivete.  Aside from his occasional reminiscences about his seafaring days, he never even said anything to  betray that he  knew how to cook. Except once, just once, when he suddenly decided to teach me how to make a gratin, much to my Mum's amazement.   I think that might have been an act of rebellion/autie solidarity  on his part.  Mum totally discouraged me from cooking, believing that I would accidentally  "burn the house down"if not kept in check.  Unbeknownst to myself, some of the family were aware of the  the way in which  she systematically destroyed my self-confidence, and pissed off about it on my behalf.  He never said so (nobody said so until long after I left home)  but I shouldn't be surprised if that included my Dad, eh?

The first cruise I ever went on was when I was 13 years old. I was 6'2" or 6'3" in bare feet by that stage and I got a dreadful tummy bug (that ship was notorious for it). I lost a pile of weight, I was under 10 stone (140 pounds, or about 63 kilos) and rake thin by the time the cruise ended.

The second and last cruise I ever went on was better, no gastro outbreaks that I was aware of.

^that definitely wasn't my Dad's fault..but its entirely possible that some of his crewmates were still floating around. I can't for the life of me recall the name of his ship , if I ever knew it. But I do recall him saying  that a popular novelist, name of Richard Gordon, took a cruise aboard, and  later wrote a book called "the Captain's Table"  which was totally based on that ship and chockfull of characters that were instantly recognisable to the crew.

Here's the very book:

I've been meaning to read it sometime,  but never have.  I suppose  my enthusiasm was dulled somewhat by Dad's asurance that he didn't feature in that cast of characters.

It was the Fairstar. A lot of the crew were Italian. I remember the bread rolls had "bits" stuck to them sometimes, butter or food or whatever. Turns out that the bread rolls stayed on the table until someone ate them, often through several sittings, and they weren't checked for "bits".

My mum is a really good cook and I wish she taught me how. But while I was growing up I was only allowed in the kitchen to do the dishes and prepare breakfast (cereal or toast). Somehow my sisters taught themselves (my twin makes tasty stuff) but I've pretty much remained clueless. When I lived on my own I ate mainly frozen meals cooked in the microwave but I did teach myself how to make beef goulash. That's a memory that stands out, I don't know why. Now, Kayleigh cooks.

My mother was an excellent cook.

I'm not bad. I can cook just about anything you can find in a cookbook.

After I got married, my husband, Rob,  taught me the basics, like cooking chips, and i taught myself  all sorts of other stuff like sauces, quiches and  pizzas out of an encyclopaedic set of cookery magazines that I subscribed to  (It was remarkablly good, having photographic images for every little  step and extremely clear and detailed instructions which- incredibly-  included all the stuff that most ""How to" guides leave out, on the assumption that everybody knows that already. I never do)  Thanks to Mum (I suppose) I had to force myself against a deep-seated fear of fire all the time, and was a  bag of nerves when frying, or when grilling fatty things, like bacon.    That had always looked dangerous to me. I'd watch other people grilling bacon. see the fat dripping and spitting and wonder how the heck they stopped it bursting into flames? i eventually told myself, don't be silly, that just doesn't happen, so there's  no reason why it should happen to me,  Guess what? the very first time I overcame my terror and  tried grilling bacon , the freaking grill pan burst into flames, didn't it? I was so shocked, my mind went bank, and I couldn't for the life of me  think what you're supposed to do about that? But i had to do something didn't I? So.... I took a very deep breath and just blew the flames out, like the candles on a birthday cake. Really!  :LOL:.  Then felt equally stunned (but deeply relieved)  that it actually worked.

your Mum wasn't just like mine, was she?
:hug: in any case.

I recall that Rob was the envy of his workmates for a couple of years, because his luchbox would be brimful of delicious home-made  treats, whereas they had to make do with sandwiches. Then I got bored with the "housewife" kick, ofc , and went back to school (and turned veggie, though i continued to cook meat for Rob. Seemed only fair. But he mostly had to make do with ready-made quiches from Sainsbury's cos I didn't have time for making my own any more).  And then we spilt up (for unrelated reasons). But those cookery skills pretty much set me up for life. And we stayed friends for life (he died, prematurely, of a heart condition  about three years ago)

Still,  in spite of my success with teaching myself, i don't recall ever persuading Mum to eat anything i'd cooked . If it wasn't too exotic (and my Mum  considered a leek or bell pepper ""ëxotic" FFS) or too fancy, it just wasn't "what she fancied" right now.  When she stayed with me, she complained to my sister that I spent ages and ages  in the kictchen making unnecessaily fancy meals.  The fact was that I did  take ages in the kitchen, but not for the reason stated. It was  partly  because I'm slow and clumsy, always have been, so cooking (and cleaning up after myself) always takes me much longer than for most  people; and partly because (by that time) my food sensitivities meant that i just had to make almost everything from scratch. Often, I was making the direct equivalent  of various foods  that she would happily eat, if only they were picked up from the chilled counter at Sainsbury's and warmed up in the microwave. I tried really, really  hard to  cater to her tastes,  to no avail whatsoever,  not ever.  :grrr:

Don't cook anymore because of not needing to do it. Never enjoyed cooking, which resulted in a mediocre cook who simply makes edible food. Completely missing the ingredient of love.

I do light cooking. *weeble noises*  :seal: :hamsterwheel: :trump:

Mostly however, I will stick to the western style of preparing food.

I wouldn't last in a 3rd world country.  :laugh:
