How do you fit nut pulp into a recipe? That sounds like a pretty cool reason to make your own nut milk.
I have a couple food pictures!
I made that Russian marinara Knit tie posted, though I added some extra tomato paste because I like tomatoes. It probably turned out a good bit redder than it's supposed to, but I liked the result. I mainly spiced it with black pepper, oregano, and lots of smoked paprika. Definitely tasted kind of barbecuey, which is great because that's what drew me to this in the first place.
Okay so I didn't cook these, but I went to an international market recently and got some cool stuff I have never had before.
Lime Potato Chips (Mexico): These were good but really acidic, noticeably more than any salt and vinegar chips I've had. Avoid them if you have any sort of cut in your mouth.
Blue Raspberry Bon bons (France): These were chewy, but not a consistency I'm used to - I was sure they were gum at first, but I was wrong. Once I got past that they tasted great, and I will try other flavors if I see these things again.
Blackcurrant Chewits (UK): Very similar to Now and Laters. They start out hard enough that you can break them by biting them, but after a couple seconds in your mouth they're chewy like taffy. Also, blackcurrant candy tastes disappointingly similar to grape candy. Enjoyable overall, but nothing unique really.
Fruit Pastilles (UK): These seemed to be gumdrops that weren't shaped like gumdrops, which also was not particularly unique. That said, these tasted a lot better than any gumdrops I've ever had, so they're doing something well.
Vanilla Halva (Greece): It tasted okay, but man, the texture was strange. It was soft and chewy, but also kind of crispy, and chewing it just didn't feel right. I believe there's a ton of variety in Halva though so I'll probably try it if I see another brand.
Sesame Snack (Greece): A few little bars of sesame seeds stuck together by honey or syrup or something. These were really great, which I didn't expect. They pretty much taste like sweetened sesame seeds, and have a very satisfying crunchy texture. I may actively seek these out in the future. Unfortunately, this is the one thing that I couldn't even convince any of my friends to
try so I'm not sure if there's any demand for it around here.
