Jill, here's a pic of the pork strips cooking on the barbecue. They
have been marinated first in a mix of garlic black bean sauce, soy
sauce and sherry.

Ah ha! Nancy was right! They are like our pork "country" ribs which aren't
really ribs at all. Lots of nice meat on them. And very tasty!

I was the one who suggested they might be like our country style ribs.

Ah! Pictures like that clearly show why PETA (People Eating Tasty

P.S. Sorry about the cricket. [Would an Aussie lie to a Kiwi? 🙂🙂🙂 ]

Recipes for Cooking Crickets - Could It Be?
The most diffused recipe seems to be frying crickets with garlic,
salt, lime juice, and a hint of red chili powder. The smallest
crickets are the most sought after, perhaps because they are the
hardest to catch. The truth is most people eat them in Oaxaca as a
snack, not as an entrée. Cool variations exist too, even chocolate
cricket cookies baked by culinary Van Goghs. After all, chocolate
originated in this region of the world as the Aztec's divine nectar --
bittersweet, dark, and often cooked with corn and grains. However,
catching the crickets, that's up to you.
</quoting>

From my one experience of eating canned insects (beetles) decades ago,
I have to say I wouldn't be tempted to try these crickets. To avoid
throwing up, we made an emergency dash from UQ down to the Regatta pub
on Coronation Drive [Brisbane] for a cleansing ale. Just made it too!

Cheers, Phred.

Mushrooms and what else?

Your pork strips from the shoulder?

We vacationed in Oaxaca once and found it to be a foodie's delight.
The main thing is seven different kinds of mole, but the chapulines
(cricket snacks) were fine: just another crunchy munchy with not much
inherent taste. They go just fine with Mexican beer. -aem

They're a classic in the UK too... ours are belly pork, looks like those are
as well.

One of my favourite meals we had when I was a kid was oven baked pork strips
served on rice, covered in sweet & sour sauce. Another, plainer, meal was
just the strips served with boiled new potatoes and steamed green beans.

I still love them, but these days usually rub them before cooking with
chinese five spice, or marinade in hoisin or barbecue sauce.

I actually watched the last 10 overs on the box last night. My husband
was sure after your lot scored so many runs. But at least we were
fighting back. He got quite excited when it got so close at the end,
but the last over did us in. Still, we made a brave fight considering
the disasterous effort at Auckland. All credit to your last bowler,
who I believe was making his debut? What a debut for him.

No duck on the menu for the Kiwis at least.

Yeah, I came in when it was 7 runs needed with 6 balls to go -- I was
*sure* we were a done dinner. (And with 322 in the bank too!)

Looking at it from an American perspective (as would many of our
friends in RFC) I noticed that Lewis & Clarke figured prominently
one way and another in the Australian attack. ;-)

Ahh, that depends ...

Social Sunday Village Green matches:
More beer, maybe some leftovers from the lunch BBQ, junk food, prawns,
more beer again.

Lower grade country club cricket:
Electolytic sports drink/cordial, sandwiches, fruit, "energy" snacks or
maybe some junk food.

Professional sport level:
Whatever the dietitian's program directs, depending on the individual and
their role (bowler/batsman), high-energy health food, fruit, TEA!

Shane Warne:
Leftover pizza, hypo red cordial and half a pack of smokes. :-)

Well, I'm not sure about *real* cricketers, but a team my husband
played last year, partook *tea* throughout the match. The cricket
ground was in a farmer's paddock. The pitch was "interesting" to say
the least, and the facilities included a long drop. Do Americans know
what a long drop is?

But the funniest thing was, the home team had tall metal stands at
intervals all around the boundary which were used to hold their beer.
Whenever they got the chance, they'd head for the boundary for
refreshments.

Same principle with local golf carts -- inbuilt eskies to hold the
stubbies.
