Should have posted a pic last night. My daughter and I placed tilapia in a dish, sprinkled with salt, covered with melted butter, green onions and lemon juice and pepper. Baked in the oven. Very simple and was very good. Paired them with some fresh corn and yeast rolls.

Needed white wine.

Made ‘banketstaaf’ again as well. This time somewhat smaller with less almond paste, so I git a few more that are easier to handle (and deep freeze).

Just discovered this topic. Foodie me loves it, though I like “No Man’s Snacks” better as a title. :wink:

Got everything I need to create the drink of old gods!


Kind of looks like a science project. Can’t wait to get started :face_savoring_food:

Looks like mead. And pretty strong mead, at that.

In the 1960s and 1970s we had punitive alcohol taxes in England - so everyone made home brew. I used to make a lager that could paralyze a man in two pints. I haven’t done it for years.

It is most definitely a science project. Wear safety goggles.

Mead indeed! I am aiming for 12%, 10 l water, 3.0 kg - 3.5 kg honey.

Bootlegger. Hope you have a hole in the floor to hide that moonshine in. :amphora::clinking_beer_mugs:

Fun fact: Honey appears to be more or less imperishable. It doesn’t rot or decay. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in 3,000 year old Egyptian tombs that were still safe and edible (don’t ask me how they know, or who was mad enough to find out).

With all those birthdays and cake days, I couldn’t help myself but to make something tangible, or edible even! Fits the hot summer atmosphere quite well.

Topped with slices of orange and some chocolate sauce for deco.


Come grab your piece while you can, I’m sure it won’t last long!

@Polyphemus : My honey keeps crystallizing! (Note: I’m referring to the food, not my wife! :smiling_face_with_horns:)

I’m not sure why you covered your wife in honey in the first place. Doesn’t it make her awfully sticky?

Ah yes, they sure do. Hard to judge scale in those images too, might even go for cat snacks. :grinning_cat:

Only until it crystalizes, I’m sure.

Looks a bit like that base I found on the expedition.
