shella,
No, I haven’t. It may be too much meat and cheese for me! :)

Kiran,
Duck is great. But I prefer duck cooked Chinese-style, rather than European style.

Melissa,
Yeah I try to write as I speak, so the slang gets chucked in there as a matter of course. It is funny that we have HJ’s here rather than “Burger King”. We had Burger King in Malaysia when I was a kid – I remember eating their Onion Rings and thinking they were the best food ever.

Nicole,
Heheheheheh.

dea,
I keep meaning to include potato but forget. Now that we have the easy microwave potato cooker thingies, it will be quick to parcook the spuds before chopping them into cubes to brown in the pan. Next time!

e,
It is! Look up Hungry Jack’s on Wikipedia for more into.

Bryan,
There’s a whole family of similar Chinese green vegies that are called bok choy, pak choy etc. Yeah, I know – I am predictable. Comfort food is predictable when you know what a person finds especially comforting (for me, yep, it’s SPAM).

Stacy,
Oh yes, me too – I used to take the onion out of my Whoppers before eating. Can’t believe I did that! :-) I love the sauce in McChickens – somewhere between ranch and mayo.

I also used to dislike Mayo but McChicken burgers have me hooked!

And I love whoppers – I don’t eat them often but sometimes that charbroiled patty with the mayonaisey (is that a word) fluffy bun is so amazing…

and of course the SPAM… you are so predictable…

stir fries you create by chucking stuff in a pan are among my favourite comfort foods. you just can’t go wrong, really. i love chicken marinated in dark soy and sesame oil too. the spam stir fry looks yummy too! you should totally (if you haven’t already) make cubed spam, baked bean, potato and onion stir fry. yum!

The Whopper Meal – I looked up Hungry Jack’s and find it so amusing to see the Burger King logo but with a different name in the middle. And that’s funny about the onion. I put SO much (red) onion on my burgers and sandwiches sometimes. I love the crunch and the sweet yet bitter taste with every single bite. Yum.

One other thing – it’s cool learning your slang. I had to look up “arvo.” You also used a word last week for “sick” that I never heard and had to Google also. I know a decent bit of UK slang so it’s fun to learn the Aussie ones as well.
