What are you eating?

[Darlica]

That's a novel way of quoting Hunter S Thompson... I think you may have to smoke at least one if the items on that list or his spirit might be very upset.

I'm munching on a home grown strawberries.

[Aggie]

The durian counts, that stuff gives you a subtle buzz if you eat enough.  Could be the fumes. 

I'm  with envy at the home-grown and self-picked strawberries - mine are from California.    There are a few berry farms around here, but I haven't gone picking for a few years.

I'm sorely tempted to start another batch of baby jackfruit trees with the seeds - they germinate readily and make nice house plants.

I wonder what smoked avocado would taste like? Perhaps in some sort of pico de gallo or salsa, with some of the more roasty-flavoured chilies, such as a pasilla?

Or maybe re-jig a blast from the early ninties: Chicken smoked over jasmine tea leaves, only this time accompanied by lightly smoked avocado slices together with the crispy "asian salad"?

I am not sure that it would turn out edible at all, but I am not willing to dismiss it out of hand, either.

[Sibling DavidH]

Well, there's smoking plants and then there's smoking   them, if you catch my drift...
Ah, the number of Scottish hippies who have choked to death smoking herrings! 

[Aggie]

Ayuh, I had to quit smoking salmon, it was too hard on the lungs.

I've got some smoked tea, if that helps...  makes a stanky-good iced tea with chinese preserved lemons.

Avocado would likely soak up the smoke flavour just fine, being fatty...  I've been speculating on whether fried avocado (in its own fat) would be good. I know in certain parts (Indonesia?) they ferment durian as a condiment.... the stuff is quite fragrant enough on its own, I can't imagine what it'd be like rotten.

If it's any consolation, I'm planting some sacred tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) today.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Had the first tomato of the season from my garden (om nom nom) and now a miscellaneous popsicle.

[Lindorm]

Some scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.

Oh, and a local arabic/south american grocey store has started importing some very nice peruvian chili sauces -aji amarillo, rocoto and aji planca among them, so now I am looking for opportunities to try them out. Failing that, I'll just have to eat them with a spoon. 

[Aggie]

Thaitalian pesto - thai basil, lots of garlic, olive oil, lemon grass, hint of lime leaf, fish sauce and tahini, tossed with brown rice fettuccine.

And the last of the jackfruit. 

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Cereal and strawberry yogurt

[Aggie]

Strawberries and yogurt

_{and durian and melon and mango and burronana.  Almost done the fruit...}

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Nothing, but I'm really regretting that soda and doughnut. 

[Sibling DavidH]

Oh, dear!  Poor ole Scrib.

Mrs H's home-made sausagemeat pie and chips.   

[Aggie]

Nothing, but I'm really regretting that soda and doughnut. 

Ick, I'll stick to fructose.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Eh.

Grilled cheese sammich with pickles and a yellow tomato from my garden. Yum.

[Aggie]

This is what all that fruit looks like, btw...
