Neither do I but don't let facts get in the way of a good story. I know exactly what the dishes are but chose to add a little levity. You should try it sometime.They don't drink rum when they cook.
Nothing like that at all. I do have a good eye Doctor I can recommend if you need it.What you made, on the left, looks like a crazy chef took some natto and topped it off with potato chips..
I won't bore your highness with how it is eaten. Safe to say you sound like you are speaking to someone with a few decades less experience.Please don't say you put a ton of pickled ginger (looks like the gari they used at sushi bars ) on anything.
No such thing as supposed to, and again I won't bore you with its consumption. You might just try and correct something that needs no correction.You're supposed to go very, VERY light with it. It's supposed to cleanse the palate
Pickled ginger does not come out of a store bought jar around here. We make it with both new and old ginger depending on its use. What you see in the pic takes about a year before it ready. The young (pink) stuff takes only a month. You should try it Tony. You won't buy it again.Next time, try this instead...
I have no truck with fancy plating. Taste and nutrition matter to me. Oh and if you can see the plate it doesn't have enough food on it!
A very European way of looking at things. I grew up like that too.
The Japanese excel at it. It's a way of pleasing the eye as well as the palate.
Simple... ask for seconds. No need to load your plate.
You know, if the Spanish Armada had been the Catalan Armada you would have a Great Cuisine in England ( I think Scotland is beyond saving ).
I would say you'd also have good football, but we already let you have Pep Guardiola. ;-)
It's odd, when Pep's team played against Sevilla my old-country roots tugged at my heart... so I really wanted Pep to win. -!-

Instant pot semi-failure this evening. We were making Dudhi Muthiya which is a type of dumpling which you steam then lightly fry with mustard seeds. Got them all read to steam and then realised we don't have any steaming baskets that fit in the instant pot, so had to do it the old way. Phase one worked. Phase 2 tomorrow.

No steaming tray that comes with the pot?and then realised we don't have any steaming baskets that fit in the instant pot,
Bill, see if flash frying as a binder to the dumplings works.
You used gram flour or a different flour?
And do post a picture of the final dish.
We sometimes shallow fry "besan ki tikki" then add to onion - garlic - chill stir fry (lots more spices in that)
A typical recipe:

@Cal Weldon there is a small trivet to hold a steamer basket above the water, but I don't have anything to put on it. Need to go shopping. maybe time to get a bamboo steamer stack.
@NareshBrd dough was a mix of flours, gram, wheat, maize, millet, jowar (sorghum) and semolina.

Search your local Amazon for "Instant Pot Silicone Steam" . We have two and they work nicely. One is grey with linear slats; the other is orange with hexagonal pockets that are approximately egg sized.
I use that as a steamer. You can also use a piece of parchment paper on the trivet for smaller items.there is a small trivet to hold a steamer basket above the water
Here's the fun part. If you need to, you can put the legs of the trivet downward for extra elevation inside the pot.
