Taramosalata (Fish roe salad - meze)
Photo taken from Athinorama Umami Taramosalata There are also the Greek classics, think something like a dip but instead of using nachos or vegetables to eat them we use bread. Taramosalata is one of those dishes. It is roe fish blended into a creamy pink dip of pureed potatoes with parsley, lemon juice, and finely chopped onion (optional). In meze, this is one of the first dishes that it is served. In taverns, they always bring it along with salad, tzatziki, and tahini. We will talk about the last two later. Well, let’s see our recipe… Ingredients 2 kg tarama (fish roe). 1 large potato or two small ones 450gr of Greek bread 1 tsp of shredded and dried onion 1 cup olive oil The juice of one lemon (medium size) Tarama is the hardest ingredient to find, so it is a good idea to look at groceries that import Mediterranean food. It is usually sold in larger jars, but you can store the remainder in the freezer for mon...
Aw, what a cool idea anyway! I would love a beer cake :)
ReplyDeleteI think it came out great, nice job!
ReplyDeleteI can see how transporting your creations can become a problem issue. Reminds me of the challenge competitions on TV, great creation but when they had to move it to another table it collapsed. Sorry it did not make it to the destination, however, it does look pretty amazing in your picture. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteSorry that the cake did not transport well. Very clever idea and great photo! Allen.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it didn't come up as you wanted it to be, but I'd looooooooooove to eat this cake. It looks good to me
ReplyDeleteWell even though it didn't make it, I think the original was amazing!! I love the foam overflowing!
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny ... so glad you followed your intuition and had a backup plan, though ... great job!
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, that could be hard to transport! Very cool, though! Glad you had a back up plan :)
ReplyDeleteI think it still looks great! =)
ReplyDeleteWhy it did not make it to its destination??? Who ate it?? Looks great and I am sure it tast even better.

Wow - even though the cake didn't make it, the aesthetic is stunning and the idea is superlatively creative. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI know you're saying this wasn't a success, but I think it looks great--super-fun!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great idea for a cake but why didn't it make it?
ReplyDeleteToo tall, ruined during transportation...
DeleteLooks cool and boozey still...I love the creativity. He still appreciated it, I am sure.

ReplyDeleteit looks a little weird, but at least i think she had the creativity to make it look like a delicious and refreshing glass of beer...

ReplyDeleteI still think it looks fine - but, not quite up to your usual standard.
ReplyDeleteI made a cake too - chocolate - however, it doesn't like any of your creations - so also not up to your standard of decorating. I've never been taught. I just do my own thing - mostly my talent lies in making low-carb, gluten-free foods that mimic our old favorites. lol
It looks good , cool idea , but what happened , why didn't this reach your boss ??
ReplyDeleteVery funny idea! Your boss is a very like one... ;)
ReplyDeleteCool idea but what happened , why didnt it reach the said destination ??
ReplyDeleteIt was spoiled while I was trying to take it to work... :-(
Deletethis beer cake looks a little bit crazy but people who loves to drink would definetly catch their attention
ReplyDeleteI think it looks just fine! Its a super fun idea. Very unique and interesting.
ReplyDeleteVery creative but a little over the top..lol simply because having two 'bad habits" in one cake from a sugar fix to a alcohol fix seems a little too much indulgence but it was a interesting idea and if was eaten on ocations and not regularly it might have been fun for some people.
