Proof that I know a lot about food
July 11, 2011 in Just for a laugh
After all the fleck that bloggers took in the last week (http://mg.co.za/article/2011-07-08-going-to-the-blogs), and Anne Myers being unhappy with the quality of food blogs in general, I thought I should do PinkPolkaDot’s food quiz to proof to everyone how much our food bloggers do know about food, so after this the real press should know that us food bloggers have a very high general knowledge of the culinary world.
1. What is the difference between chowder and soup?
A.) You can chow on chowder but must sip on soup
2. What are the basic ingredients of fruit curd?
A.) Duh, fruit what else
3. What is the difference between Fruit preserves and fruit conserves?
A.) Fruit preserves have a capital “F” and fruit conserves a lower case “f”
4. What are Jerusalem artichokes?

5. The Marula fruit is native to which country?

8. What does gratinéed means in culinary terms?

potjie said on July 11, 2011
Na watter een verwys jy? Die een wat slegte blogs skryf, of die een wat weggejaag raak by restaurante?

Very funny!
I’m always too embarrassed by my lack of knowledge to enter Dottie’s Quiz.
potjie said on July 11, 2011
Thank you, I am glad I could impress someone with my great knowledge of things culinary.
potjie said on July 11, 2011
Miskien die een wat slegte kwaliteit blogs skryf (Besluit maar self) die ander een nee, ek gaan niks se nie, maar besoek gerus http://www.whalecottage.com/blog/
potjie said on July 11, 2011
Daar is verseker ‘n few truths, maar die dead tree press soos iemand hulle genoem het is nou nie juis bo verdenking nie!
potjie said on July 11, 2011
I’m glad I could make you laugh, and off I go to another free supper, I wish!

And then of course you get the bloggers like Potjie who loves life, loves food and above all, loves his family and friends. That is his voice. A voice that also likes to have the last laugh with post above. Brilliant Potjie and apologies I did not refer in any which way to you my darling. Not even in a bad way … I should have listed you as one of my blogs of note because you have a stunning blog without any ego and loads smiles and warmth. No, change of plans. You cannot cook with me, you can cook FOR me! I will buy whatever your chef’s heart desire, leave you my flat key and after a hard day like today (pre-production of my something for my REAL job plus a few fancy footed huffing bloggers very hot and bothered on my tail)come home to your efforts and we can laugh at ourselves – and I suspect at a few others too. Rememebr to bring your entire family with! Wonderful post! MWAH! XXX

XXX!

They are actually very easy, I mean really, what can the main ingredient of fruit curd be other than fruit, the main ingredient of mince pies are mince is it not?
potjie said on July 11, 2011
Ag nee Anne, I was hoping you were at least thinking about me when you were mentioning bad blogs, but not thinking about me at all, now that hurts.

Haha, awesome post sire!
Zabwan said on July 11, 2011
Ah – Potjie, thank you so much for this hilarious post!!! I was feeling really down after reading Anne’s post today, it seemed unnecessarily mean. You put everything in perspective with a good sense of humour. You rock
potjie said on July 11, 2011
I am so glad I could make your day a little better.

Thanks to Fritz (Realmencancook) for tweeting this. All getting a tad fluffed, over essentially what is pleasure. And privilege. Very funny Potjie- expect your inbox to come crashing down with invites and freebies x
