“Around the World” meme

About a million years ago, Pille tagged me with this meme.   At the time I promised to join in, wrote a quick draft post and then promptly forgot about it.  As you do!! 😉

But in a renewed drive to get draft posts finished and posted, I have finally got round to completing it and here it is.  Thanks Pille – I had fun filling in the blanks!

1. Please list three recipes you have recently bookmarked from food blogs to try:

• Chocolate chilli shortbread from Cooking Vintage – shortbread, chocolate – and the smoky taste of chipotle chillies.  What’s not to like??
• Nana Davies’ ginger pudding from Hecticium – I’m a huge fan of steamed puddings and this one looks easy and delicious.
• Caramelised shallot tarte tatin from The Passionate Cook – sweet caramelised onions and crispy pancetta on a puff pastry crust.  Awesome, like everything from Johanna’s kitchen!

2. Three food blogs in your vicinity:

• Pertelote – Jenni and I only live one postcode apart!
• The Passionate Cook – Johanna lives across town, but metaphorically speaking, we live in each other’s pockets 😉
• The Thorngrove Table – again, she lives clear across town, but like me she laughs at inappropriate moments 🙂

3. Three food blogs located far from you:

• Spiceblog – physically far away in Perth, but terrifyingly on the same mental wavelength 😉
• Scent of Green Bananas – I don’t think I could find Guam on a map until I discovered Santos’ excelent blog from there…
• Kitsch’nZinc – Brian casts an experienced eye over the food scene from Cape Town, South Africa

4. A foodblog (or several) you have discovered recently (and where did you find it?)

• Silverbrow on Food – blogging primarily about kosher food in London.  Found on Andrew’s comprehensive list of Uk food blogs
• Dos Hermanos – came up in a google search for I-can’t-remember-what.  Witty and irreverent.
• Intrepid Gourmet – I didn’t find her, she found me!  Fantastic recipes…

5.  Any people or bloggers you want to tag with this meme?

Nah – I’m so late I’m sure everyone’s already done it!!  But if anyone reading this particularly wants to join in the memelicious fun, please consider yourself tagged 😉
