Food anyone?

[Kaykaykay]

Thanks, Leelai. Haven't tried a Corella, so will look out for those.

I think those Asian pears are what we call Nashi here....they are very crisp, a cross between an apple and a pear.
We have Corella pears if you want a crisp pear.

We call that Peking Duck here too.....very delicious!

And yes you did spell it correctly.

The Corellas are delicious. If my memory serves me right, I think the Chinese developed them. They are a hybrid fruit.

The Chinese are good with food - just keeping in with the train of thought

I looked up Corellas earlier and apparently they're often called Forelle pears. Then I looked up Forelles, which are supposed to have originated in Europe: Forelle Pears Information, Recipes and Facts

I'm going to look out for some, because they sound good. I read that they're not in season yet, though.

Yes, leelai: "nashi" (or 梨 or なし) is Japanese for "pear". They're very good.
I don't think I've tried corellas, I'd like to, though.
Here's my question for the table: for those do you who grill your own hamburgers, how do you prepare/season the beef? I've always added a little garlic powder, salt and pepper, and sometimes a pinch of whatever-looks-good at the moment to the ground beef before forming the patties. I'd be interested in hearing (and maybe trying) someone else's recipes, though!
It is grilling season here in Northern hemisphere, after all.

I will grate a tomato into it, add an egg or two depending on how many I'm doing, onion, grated potato, bread crumbs, mixed herbs and salt and pepper.

It makes a very tasty hamburger.

Sometimes I mix the meat the same as for meatballs and sometimes I just douse the meat with different spice mixtures that I get from a store called Penzy's. They are only in a few states here, but do have a website.

I add some onion soup mix, an egg, worcester sauce (sp?) into the mix to give it some zing. Makes for a good burger---also if I have some blue cheese or white cheddar cheese in the house, might slip a bit in the middle of the patty prior to grilling. Delish.

I have cooked them before wrapped in tin foil, in the oven with pesto and a knob of butter. I also had some ready prepped from waitrose with lemon and feta then served with a heap of mushy peas.....it probably doesn't sound right but it really worked!

thanks,the pesto one sounds nice,might try that tonight.

Pesto and salmon really work well together......if you have a lemon then throw some slices in as well before you cook.

You must try some Fresh Dill Weed on top of your salmon steaks....Dill the Dog recommend that!
