Jeez that looks and sounds amazing

[Alex]

Shit @Chap , that looks like a really really good home attempt

[Chap]

Cheers @mclaincausey @Alex, to be honest it was not that complicated. The most difficult thing with japanese cooking is to get good ingredients. In Austria e.g. it is almost impossible to get hon wasabi

[mclaincausey]

My favorite Japanese place Denver has a wasabi sashimi dish, and we can usually find it frozen at Whole Foods.

You've inspired me to do something I've long considered–sushi party!

Nowt beats leftover pizza though…

What are you guys cooking for Christmas (for those who celebrate)? I'm roasting a stuffed capon…

[Giles]

I used to do Capon, but they are now hard to find in the UK.  So it's gammon, beef and turkey….

Norway is very traditional and very homogenous when it comes to xmas food.  It’s pork rib or “pinnekjøtt» which I’ve posted about here before. The sides for each dish are also proscribed, white sausage, pickled cabbage, sauteed apples and prunes with the pork; smoked sausage, red cabbage, root veg mash with the lamb. Lutefisk is very traditional for this time of year but only a few choose to do it on the big day.

I had the pinnekjøtt yesterday and the pork rib today. There’s so much salt in my body right now I’d float in any body of water you put me in.

Catfish & scallops

I always put water in the bottom of the dish so sea food comes out nice and tender.
