I personally wouldn't try sweetening a salad which already has fruit in it. What if you added a generous portion of a herb on top - something like parsley, chevril or perhaps even mint (not sure about the last one).

Our first UK home outside meal of the year in scorching sun ... and it was a freshly made (Turkish or Lebanese ... or Hampshire depending on who you choose to believe ... but who really cares ..... ) lahmacun today - from the pizza oven. I wish I could post the taste and smell ...

My wife says it was wonderful. We also had a lot of wine .....

uk1, please continue to post. I'm off red meat for the nonce (actually all meat except aquatic), but your pictures and descriptions are first-rate and quite appetite-inducing.

That's so kind of you. Just when I think I'll stop as there isn't much interest in the thread or food pics, someone says they enjoy the pics.

I guess that as cooking gives me so much pleasure I have a rather unexplainable desire to get others giving it a go. Especially those things you eat when away and really want to eat back home. I believe everyone can cook well. Anyone. Everyone.

Thanks again for the encouragement. You've made a very boring bloke a bit happier!

I might have a tried a small sprinkle of celery seed, but that's just me.

All the time. But are you guys really interested in scrambled eggs and toast or a turkey sandwich and chips or pasta with Prego?

I'm not the cook uk1 is and I don't have the time anyway. At least not yet.
