I’ve tried laksa with cheese and I love it… In fact, I put cheese and sambal (when I can get my hands on it) on my instant noodles… Hehe.

One of my comfort foods is steamed rice with a bit of butter and some bovril. Mmm.

foodrambler – strawberries n vinegar sounds cool – ive never tried that b4! ewk, dragonflies, they look pretty scary to me – esp since the ones back home used to be big and green with these huge eyes…… i would not stick them in my mouth.

its the huge eyes.. like the movie the fly, yuck.

Howard, I love Marmite with cheese. When making cheese on toast I spread the Marmite on the toast before adding the cheese. Mmmmmm. Salty cheesy goodness.

Strawberries marinaded in balsamic vinegar and pepper – intensifies the strawberriness.

Deep fried dragonflies – sad really, as the beautiful creatures are reduced to nothing more than hollow pork scratchings. I had them in Dali, China.

Sorry for the tremendously late reply folks, but as they say better late than never never…

Howard – I’m sure that I’ve actually had marmite with cheese on puff pastry in a restaurant before! yeah I tend to do salt apples and pears too – apparently it’s quite common to add salt to make sweet stuff taste nicer.

Shuna – hmm..cinnamon + roast beef? hmmm …. (slanty head)

Richard – It is indeed a rambutan. Tastes rather like lychees. If you’re drinking a wine, try an austrain guweztraimeiner and that’s kinda how it tastes like.

I like Roast Beast on cinnamon raisin swirl bread. It doesn’t sound all that strange to me, but when I tell people they look at me sideways, for a long time afterwards.

I love eating Vegemite with cheese. I think it’s called Marmite in the UK ?

Another weird but common one is raw mangoes with salt and chilli!
