I have brought some paua fritters and mutton birds to the table this morning (which is my early evening)

Pers,

Ginny is not likely to partake of either of your offerings in fact she will probably ex-communicate you for making them ;-)

ginny is outnumbered of course ;-)

As I don't know what either of the proffered items are......I may decline until further notice. :-S



I will stick to my usual meanderings around the breakfast table - picking up some cereal and, maybe, some toast.....thanks Sylvs.


No grandchildren today...hmmmm......must get grandson's birthday card done ready for his big day on Friday. I asked if he wanted a 'normal' card or one of my home made 'photos with rhymes' cards. He has requested one I have made my self and he would like it 'big, with 3 pages please'. No pressure then ;-)


Have a good day all...~~~~~~

I'll just grab a coffee. The roads close for the racing today so want to get out before then. Hope it brightens up otherwise they will be cancelled and there will be more disruption tomorrow. It's just started raining so not looking good

I thank you very kindly for your additions to the breakfast table Persie but I am afraid I will be sticking with Sylvia's fayre.

I had to google to find out what they were......... :-D

I am 'lergic' to seafood and couldn't possibly eat those birds when I have just seen lots of cute pictures of them.

Thank you though for bringing us a 'treat', perhaps you could bring something we are a little more 'familiar with' next time.

Birds for breakfast and what is a mutton bird......eweee

And what the heck are paua fritters? No doubt they contain some sort of dead body?

Oh noooooo....I just read what Paua is..... :-(

Well I will be bold and try anything once. I love seafood.

Dont you ever think that anything that is encased in a hard shell, is not meant to be eaten :-D

Oh, I don't know Ginny - what about all those lovely nuts..............

Brazil nuts, Walnuts............. Yummmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Ugh must just be me, I don't like any seafood other than swimmy fish!

Hope you are all ahving a good day today

I like shrimps and mussels but, having googled the above, don't think I could really take those NZ delicacies for breakfast....thank you all the same.



Gins......eggs come in a hard shell too ;-)

Well I do not eat anything that comes from the sea....so I will pass also.

Persie hope you did'nt think because I asked you if you knew St Heliers you would know my friend :-D but you did know her husbands company :-)

I have had the where do you come from?....London I say....oh I have a friend in Liverpool called XYZ do you know them? is the reply....this is from Americans

ja...x

Well that got you all going... I have been having all sorts of site problems but I have got it sorted by coming on through google... defaults to UK site and then I change it to za and now most of it really really works........ as the saying goes " it is just like a bought one"

I love paua (abalone) and toheroas, tuatuas are a bit salty but pipis, mussels, oysters, scallops, cockles and clams are all up there with my favourites. We are surrounded by good seafood ... Ginny google Kina ... I won't eat them but a lot of my friends do.

And in Tasmania I really broadened my horizons and had curried scallops pie. I had never heard of doing that with them, but it was declicious. They do some lovely pies in OZ and have lots of bakeries where they sell well..... cauliflower mornay was a favourite of mine.

So Moreton Bay Bugs for tomorrow then?

I made Paua fritters when my kids were little and they came out looking very dark green and I got a chorus of " Not silverbeet fritters Mum oh yuk" ..... you probably don't have silverbeet either but it is a prolific grower over here.

No Jax I was not talkin' about you and your friend LOL.
Persie

OOhhhh Persie ----------Horrible creepy spinedy looking thing......Yuckkkk!!!!!!!! - I couldn't eat that if you paid me (millions !!)

However, it was interesting as I have one of those shells they live in on my sideboard!

It is VERY pretty and I always wondered what it was and where it came from. I think I bought it for a few pence in a charity shop of at a jumble sale over 30 years ago!

Anyway, I now know what it is. - SO pleased it is now empty :-D :-D
