Favorite perfumed food?
Question:
so, ok then it's not entirely off topic, but hey...i'll start (anything that can be eaten!) : Flavigny Pastilles The fruit of the Syzygium jambos (aka: chom pu or chom-phu, rose apple, Malay apple, Malabar plum, jambu, and pomarrosa)..but only when it's red or pink! Answer: Parma Violet Cremes - but only in dark chocolate (anything else is an abomination) Roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary (this reminds me of Villoresi Spezie, or is it vice-versa). Most things from North Africa, all that cumin, saffron, cinnamon, lemon - hmm chicken tagine ... Answer: I am a bit of a foodie... I love the smell of Vanilla - coming from the the Creme Brulee Pandan Leaves - used widely in southeast Asia to add fragant to the rice, drinks and cakes Osmanthus - lovely to be served on its own as tea and incorporated into Chinese Dessert (osmanthus red bean pudding) Jasmine, Roses and Chrysanthum tea... and coffee I also love the smell of the bakery and when people cooking caramelized nuts Answer: Mulled wine. Chai tea. Gulab Jamun (sweet milky dumplings) in rose-flavored syrup. Raw shizo leaves in various japanese dishes. Spicy pumpkin pie. Violet-scented gum is sort of yuck, yet oddly appealing. (Actually, thinking about this more, if you adopt a sufficiently open-minded view of perfume, then all food is "perfumed" -- for better or, in the case of Durian fruit, worse...) Answer: i've heard of atrocities such as saffron being used in fragrance. But if i think of saffron, nothing can beat a Paella marinera with a pitcher of ice cold Sangria red! Answer: I once had a wonderful rose-scented white nougat candy with pistachios dotted throughout. Someone brought it to a party. I've been looking for more of it ever since! It was from an Indian (East Indian) shop, they said. Also great: Kheer scented with rosewater and whole cardamom pods - again, from India. I used to be able to get tiny mini baklavas which were drenched in rosewatered honey. They were fantastic. And of course, Ibarra hot chocolate, which is mixed with cinnamon. Answer: Real Turkish Delight - the rose flavored ones...yum! Answer: Where do you get the violet chocolates???? That's a must try. On a more pedestrian note, orange blossom honey. Answer: Almond cookies, chocolate covered cherries, rum or Amaretto liquor, lime in the coconut. Many fruits. Copyright ? 2006 - 2007 www.thankhealth.com Privacy Policy
