First pizza now this, what's the world coming to.

Pasty containing pineapple voted among best in the world

I haven't been doing anything exciting in the kitchen recently other than beef chew and candied salmon but I did do some Hasselback potatoes and sous vide chicken that both came out quite good. The drums are BBQ and the thighs are 'yellow'. The potatoes have butter and rosemary ham in them and were finished with parmesan flakes.

Let's play a game I like to call 'Name that juice'. First person to get it right wins dinner for two at my place.

Hints to start: It is a drinking juice, it's a single ingredient and it's uncooked.

The last one was easy and you still owe me. . What do we have here papaya, passion fruit, red durian?

 

[TheGimp]

too red for tomato.

Pineapple upside-down cake is mighty tasty
Now they're making it into a pasty ......

too red for tomato.

Never mind that, what are the pliers for??

Cal is the chicken picture before or after the sous vide bath? If it's after I think you need to turn up the thermostat a bit.

None of the above. I have been wondering what's kept you. The dinner I had ready for you is long cold.

Amateur dentistry hehe. TBH they're for pinbones.

Before my friend. Sometimes I am in such a hurry to eat, I don't get to the after pics.

So when you say it's a "drinking juice" do you mean it mixes well with booze, or it's good to drink by itself (unlike those "transfusion juices"), or what?

And yeah, it looks like tomato, which is good by itself but also plays well with others (and you said it's a single ingredient and not cooked).

 

[leadbelly]

Persimmon?

 

[Cal Weldon]

Tomato juice would have been too easy, and yes it's cooked. If you cook this one, it tastes different and not near as good. It is a regular juice. It's not usually mixed with anything.

Tony did you mean persimmon or another one that begins with P?

 

[leadbelly]

Pomegranate?

 

[Cal Weldon]

I had to go look to find there are in fact red persimmons, not seen them before. Yes, I was thinking pomegranate but that too is wrong. There's something both common and uncommon about what you see in that jug.

 

[leadbelly]

Red peppers? Red pears?

 

[Cal Weldon]

Can't imagine drinking pepper juice straight and while a good guess, pear juice it is not.

 

[leadbelly]

Pomelo?

 

[Cal Weldon]

No.
I am going to give this hint again. It is both common and uncommon at the same time. I think Pomelo would qualify as uncommon only.

 

[leadbelly]

Red pineapple?

 

[Cal Weldon]

No, but another good guess, albeit wrong.

C'mon Tony, dinner's gettin' cold.
