[img_assist|fid=115|thumb=0|alt=The Witness Box] Here it is, foodie-ites.. I'm in 'court' this morning learning about giving evidence.. some time today I'll be in *that* box (Yikes!) Here's a picture of an authorised officer 'being cross examined' for an alledged offence against the dairy act.. a hard job but someone's got to do it! (*brave smile*) It's a sacrifice we are willing to make for the good of all foodies..haha..

Trivia, anyone? Well, I did pursue..and little pie slices I savoured not this night..except one! Once again a call to foodies - who can tell me which country's dictator once ruled.. "To eat buckwheat noodles, you must slow down"? This is indeed a test of the true foodie.. post your answer stating your foodie reasoning - or stay tuned O foodie-*not* one!

Haha...more cool stuff..this is digging back in the archives a bit for those I've been emailing to! But I think you'll agree it's worthy of a spot! Compliments of Karissa once again hehe..

Well, it's only the first day of my blog and already I've an interesting foodie question.. I was presenting a talk to a group of Japanese dairy industry delegates today and had the chance to ask the interpreter about miso paste. Some of you may know that miso is supposedly very healthy due to being fermented (beneficial bugs as well as the digested soy protein!) My question is/was - if the miso paste is shelf stable, does this mean that it's been cooked ie. is no longer active? This would obviously lessen its health value..

The answer appears to be that miso is generally shelf stable ie. apparently probably not heat treated even if sold on-shelf - but not definite - so if anyone out there knows THE TRUTH... well, hit the comment button :-)

Haha..Check it out! I got 7 out of 10, first person to get 10 out of 10 is a freak hehe..
