Does anyone actually like to eat feijoas?

Big fan here. They are the most under-appreciated fruit outside the Garden of Eden!

I hate them. Im guessing its like that soap salad ingredient where some people like them because they cant taste how gross they are.

Feijoas are great. Once a year I give my guts a real working over by stewing a huge pot of them, while eating half of them in the process.

Love them. Unfortunately they’re quite sugary though.

Every now and then I'll try a samosa in thr hope that next one ends up tasting as good as they look. Had a vegetable one tonight and it was the same as all the others I've had - dry and needing a drink to help swallow it.

That was until I ate it with the curry I also had on my plate - what a difference.

Are they normally dry? Maybe they're supposed to be eaten with something saucy like a curry?

Samosa and pakora etc are often dipped in tamarind sauce. It is not a hot sauce and it has a cooling effect. It's a difficult taste to describe but it works 100%.

That said I don't ever recall having a samosa that I'd describe as 'dry'. I wonder if you're experiencing the pie-in-the-warmer-all-day effect or something similar ; ).

I don't know where this belongs. but I couldn't find a "Thanks to the Moderators" thread here.

Thanks to the Mod who fixed the formatting of my post in the Stuff etc Headlines Thread.

I've previously tried to do that and ended up with a disaster, so I decided I don't have enough years left on this planet to try now.

Thanks from someone who is grateful for all you do.
