Comments on: Meet My Suburb: A Walking Tour of Kensington & Kingsford! http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/09/15/meet-my-suburb-a-walking-tour-of-kensington-kingsford/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Hi Forager-They were really good :D Yes what a shame! Hehe I have a great memory for food, I don't know why :lol: Hi Cakelaw-We did! Hehe that's understandable! :) Hi Betty-You're welcome! Thanks for coming and it was lots of fun spending time with you all! :) Hi sandra-It was indeed :D I really must go back for those satay sticks-they were great! Hehe! :D Hi romaverona-Thankyou! Yes a must as we don't have that much of a capacity to eat :) Me too, that's always my problem :lol: Hi nora-He was such a little darling :lol: The food was amazing! Hi Brittany-Yes it helps negate the calories consumed! :lol: Hi Steph-Thankyou! :) Haha that was so funny your quote :lol: I know, itime really flew by because we were having so much fun. yes I think the curry is very important :) Hi Dave-tut tut...didn't you read my post on Kingsford Chinese? I wasn't impressed. Besides it's such an obvious choice. Hi Katherine-I know, we thought we were full and then suddenly some stomach space cleared miraculously! :lol: Hi mikey-Ahh really! I've never tried cooking them before so that's a very interesting point-thankyou! Hehe I'm just a bit wary of the cholesterol in them. A reader pointed that out and I freaked out! :o but once in a while isn't so bad :) Hi Conor-thankyou! Yes that would be a great idea and it's nice to get some exercise too :) Haha yes at least you try it! :D Hi Matilda-They're quite soft and nice but quite mild tasting so the curry really helped. Crumbed would be very interesting I can imagine! Like how I've eaten sweetbreads which was gorgeous :) Yes I totally agree! Hi Blanche-Thankyou! Yes we're tired of it too and so are readers. I absolutely will! :D Hi Arwen -It was lovely :) They are quite fatty in texture I guess (hehe that's maybe why I like them :lol: ). Hi Shirley-Oh I've never done that (well I've never been offered the head!) :o That's amazing! Thanks for the tip and I'll look out for it! :D Thankyou! Hi Lex-Hehe thankyou! It's exotic indeed although I don't know if I think of the word chic when I think of Kingsford :lol: Hi shaz-It was so funny and cute. I know, it was a target for sure! We might do some more but let me know which area you're interested in! :) Hi Ladybird -Thankyou! :) Oh yes there's a lot to be eaten there. There is that though although perhaps a meal can be shared between you and a colleague? They tend to be generous portions :) Hi Katrina Smit-Eadie-Fair enough! We'd definitely do an Inner West area one (love that area!). Which area did you have in mind? :) We're doing a few more! Hi clekitty-Me too! Of course, go ahead, that's why we did it, so you can do your own :D Hi Simon-There are a crazy amount to eat at. In fact that was the hardest thing about putting together the tour-the editing! Hi Jaselyn-Thankyou so much! :) Hi Liv-We had a great one :) Hey that's fine, it would be a fun way to spend an afternoon! Ahh well not everyone is a brain lover but good on you for trying it! :D Hi Ellie-Thankyou! I know, we ate a lot :lol: Hi Howard-Oh very cool! Thankyou! Yes it's amazing how low the prices are there. Actually yes you're right, it's liek silken tofu! :o A fearless eater huh? That's great! :D Hi Karen-Haha you could have eaten them :lol: Can't wait for your tour! Hi Betty-We sure did! :) Hi Ja-Hehe next time huh? :) Hi Amy-fair enough, there is some offal I won't eat and some I will (mainly because of the smell). I guess it's considered offal although I'm not sure :) Hi Simon-Of course there are but that's part of the adventure! I liked them all for different reasons :) Hi Gab-It's the best way to do it! :D Hi Midge-Hehe we were! :lol: I was crossing my fingers that the brains would be there :lol: Hi Tiffany-Great idea! :) Oh yes there's that too, I remember reading all about CJD when I studied psychology. Oh I love black pudding! Although the concept isn't that appetising I admit... :lol: Hi Caro-Cool! That's great, I admire that! :D Hi Ridves-LOL such a shame we missed out on that! :lol: Hi Moya-I kow, she is so funny! :lol: It felt a bit raunchy but we weren't honest! I really need to try them methinks! :o Hi grace-That's cool! :) Haha yes ahh the life of a food blogger :P Hi Angie-Hehe not for you? :) Thankyou very much! Those were awesome satay sticks I have to say :) Oh yes thankyou! :) Hi Bubble-definitely please do :) Hving lived on the North Shore I can confirm that there's nothing really like them North side :) Oh thankyou for the recommendation! :D Hi Jacq-Thanks, it was! :D They're so much fun and good that you're an adventurous eater! :D Hi Blond Duck -Hehe really? :P Hi Faith-It was great :) Oh yes they're great aren't they. The snow shake drinks were perfect for the hot weather too! :) Hi Johanna-Thankyou! Yes it's such a funny sight to step out of for a second! :lol: Hi Lucas-Oh cool! :D Yes the chili sauce is a must on them. Yes there are so many more places to go to... but so little time! Yes that's right-was infamy! :lol: Hi Elaine -You're welcome! :) Oh great you're in the middle of the action! :o Hope you enjoy Sydney! Hi Zam-thankyou very much! :) Hehe that's fair enough, they're not to everyone's taste :) I eat some offal but not others! Hi Lilia-Thank, I've changed it :) Yes I really need to try it done like that although it's quite high in cholesterol already :o Bat and deer? :o Wow that's amazing! Interesting, is that because they are pets? :) Hi ArtemisIII-Hehe! :) Hi carolyn-I am amazed how much we managed to eat! :lol: Oh good on you! :) I know, we only just missed out too :( Hi maris-Hehe I have a recipe too and it's on my very long to make list :lol: Hi Lisa-Ahh you poor thing! Yes the sight of brains might have pushed you over the edge. We did! :) Hi Angela-hehe really? :lol: Yes if we mashed it up for you perhaps you might give it a go? ;) I'm not a size 0 sadly, I'm a size 4 American which is 8-10 here depending on how much I've baked that past week so quite far off. I wish though! :lol: Hi Juliana- Hehe that’s cool, brains aren’t for everyone I know! :) That was so refreshing! :)

In fact, it was my favourite deep fried food. I grew up with these sold at any food stall beside beef tongue satay, chicken livers, cooked chicken blood jelly, cooked pig intestines, and cooked pig urine bladder. Other islands in Indonesia cooking bat, deer, and other game meats. There is no-go for me, but I will not eat dog or cat meat like in China.
