I'd love a minivan, but no. 7 seats in my motor though. You'd be amazed how often we have used the back back row.

US Thanksgiving. Roast turkey alongside sweet potato with marshmallows.

:rolleyes:

Re: Wasabi rice crackers
 

But the whole "go to be savoury + savoury" thing doesn't stack up.

Roast parsnips -- the roasting frees and caramelises the natural sugars (which are there in all root veg).
Carrots -- naturally sweet, especially baby ones (and more so when tossed in butter after boiling)
Ratatouille -- also brings our some sweet flavours
Onions -- fry them first before cooking the steak, and again you have caramelisation

Pumpkin, swede, corn, chestnuts ...

And sauces.

Start with onions -- as you often should -- and your base is sweet.
Henry Bain (ok, American, but a classic).
Apple sauce (not only with pork).
Most barbecue sauces.
Many pickles / chutnies.
Peanut sauce.
Cranberry sauce.

Having no contrast among the various flavours in a dish can make things very boring.

Reason I find all pizzas boring and largely tasteless.

Re: Wasabi rice crackers
 

Marshmallows with turkey is a step too far.

Re: Wasabi rice crackers
 

I agree with everything Bahtat said about contrast and whatnot.

But I also agree with this.
Like I also disagree with burger buns being replaced with donuts (I think that's the American spelling).

Tasmanian Wild Wasabi Cheddar is divine. I love all things Wasabi. And I love sweet potato, especially sweet potato fries.

Re: Wasabi rice crackers
 

Absolutely.

Breakfasts here are generally dreadful (other than the Korean ones, which are interesting). They've adopted the American malaise (or is it actually French) of everything being bloody sweet -- glazed croissants, croissanty-things using the wrong dough and with a random lump of chocolate in (ugh), Danish pastries. I WANT TOAST.

Re: Wasabi rice crackers
 

That does sound divine. Any idea if its available in UK?

Re: Wasabi rice crackers
 

I have no idea sorry. But this is it if you want to do some research.
