The use of Herbs & Spices in New Zealand is similar to UK

MAORI cuisine tends to have more flavour than KIWI !

If you know a Spice beginning with X let me know

Ruth & I do a lot of our own cooking in NZ !

    Such a yummy addition to the first read of my morning dear Angela - - super write - - where would we be without herbs and spices.

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      Thanks FAY : pleased you enjoyed it ! Did you manage to play the classic video by S & F ? Brian & Dave like flavoursome food so Ruth & I are experimenting with Herbs & Spices while we are in NZ ! Every Blessing with Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

      Why did I have to overdo it? A recipe said 'add a little spice'. Erm, I added some of all of these! Bleeuurrghhh? Or Yummy?! heehee.
      Wikipedia does not know any X spices. There's Xanthan gum - whatever that is?! They got Mickey Mouse tea too, or is that a con?!

      • ANGELA & BRIAN

        THANKS UNCLE STEVE : Thanks : if youve tried Uncle Wiki I might draw a blamk on X ! Brian and I love cooking with herbs & spices and we enjoy Mexican Food. I learned in my Nutrition Classes that you should have at least one HOT CURRY a week ! VINDALOO : it gives you the VIND and you end up in the LOO ! Love & Blessings : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

      • Fay Slimm.

        Hi Angela - - blessings to you too as you experiment with herbs and spices - am afraid the video was not available to me - strange that was the first time I have not been able to hear a video.

        • ANGELA & BRIAN

          Sorry about that FAY : If you click on : watch this video on YouTube : it should load : OK
          This sometimes happens to Godies Videos !
          Blessings ANGELA🧡🧡🧡🧡

          So many fine spices - and yet so many others not listed - a key to another fine follow up?

          • ANGELA & BRIAN

            Thanks UNCLE MIKE : I might post some piquent HAIKU ! As you know in an ABCDarian POEM each letter only gets ONE CHANCE ! There are hundreds of Herbs & Spices so scope for more !
            Love Peace & Joy for 2019 ANGELA🧡🧡🧡🧡

            Of those spices there are only seven that I have not used in my cooking at some time.
            I notices that Basil was missing is that still stuck in the hotel in Torquay?

            • ANGELA & BRIAN

              Thanks UNCLE ANDY : Cooking without Herbs & Spices is just play acting : pleasd you are a SPICY MAN ! Love Fawlty Towers and YES BASIL will be there for ETERNITY with MANUEL (Theyre not really like that in BARCELONA !) The Major Polly etc and his long suffereing wife SYBYL ! In an ABCDarian POEM yo only get one appelation per Letter so i chose BORAGE because it has a nice ring to it (Female choice !) Thanks for your lovely comment !
              Love & Blessings to YOU & JOYCE :
              ANGEL🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

            • ANGELA & BRIAN

              HOLA ANGEL ! Nice one pleased you are getting some nice comments to repay all your efforts in the Herb Garden ! As Uncle Mike says there is scope for another which I will post later in the month ! I love BASIL and will include it for Uncle Andy !
              MANUEL was supposed to be German but they settled for A Barcelonean. I liked your choice of HERBS and the way you got round Q & X ! always difficult in a ABCD Poem and XYLOPHONE is not a HERB nor is XYLEM even though its part of a Plant !
              Abrazos y Besos a la Distancia y Todo de Mi Amor ~
              Tu OSO GRANDE BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
