Bam!!!!!!.... aubergines

Obviously, they are the food of satan, polystyrene in a vegetable.... BUT  I went to stay with a roffette for a couple of days in the sandpit and had .... baba gannoush.... WHICH WAS AUBERGINE AND FVCKING DELICIOUS!

I have to take back that they are totally rank vegetables... just mostly rank....

 

Aubergines are amazing. Mmmm. I make an epic aubergine pasta dish. It's a bit like parmagiana with fusilli, tbh. Lush, though.

I am also making stuffed aubergines on Sunday. You're missing out with your discriminatory attitude, Doggers! Down with this sort of thing &c  ;)

No Dusty, they have the texture of packing material, dissolve when cooked and taste of packing material.

There is ONE dish that they are nice in... which is baba gannoush...

I'm allowed to discriminate between the veggies I like and those I don't...

DONE WITH AUBERGINES... except for baba gannoush wink

 

dissolve when cooked

NOT TRUE. Griddle them. They go all soft and chargrilled and mmmmm.

There's very few vegetables I dislike. Not a huge fan of Jerusalem artichokes...

Give you an inch and you take a mile *sighs*

You claimed amazing about your aubergine soup...AND I HAD TO THROW IT AWAY IT WAS SO RANK.

Take the win... baba gannoush is fabulous and happens to have aubergine in it winkwink

 

Grated Brussels are delicious.  Nothing like rancid cooked Brussels.. they are sweet and nutty and tasty, add pecorino to them with oil and lemon and... to die for. 

Marmaris itself is hideous but if you do a cruise down the coast from there the scenery is stunning with crystal blue water to swim in and there's a fish market in Fetiye where you can have a seafood dinner in the square in the middle of the market knowing it's absolutely fresh.

Nice one Wang. Will Google.

 

I didn't think you'd take any holidays unless they involved some historic reenactment and drinking some ale that had been filtered through the arse hairs of some CAMRA certified sex pest 

Tbf one of the reasons I like turkey is all the ruins - crusader forts, lycian settlements, villages evacuated in the population swap with greece, roman amphitheatres abd temples etc.  also they let you climb all over it and there are no effette national trust stasi to tell you off.

re beer, i think the local brew is efes and they serve it chambo style in a glass chilled in the freezer.

olu deniz has tortoises on the beach

Very true about the ruins although would be nice to have a few more signs explaining what things are.

I haven't been for a couple of years but now find myself yearning for an Efes in the sun.
