• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

What did you cook or eat today? (January 2026)

Ramen noodles with king oyster mushrooms and leftover everything in the soup. This way when I go to Hawaii i wont have to pay an arm and a leg for a bowl ramen noodles.

For dessert, I had this Dragon fruit, when I first encountered this fruit was at Harrods department store, I remember it was £32 for a pound, after that If I can get the fruit cheaper elsewhere, I buy and eat them.

Dragon fruit are absolutely divine, when they're perfectly ripe. When they're not, they can be bland and uninteresting.
There's a S American version called pitahaya - a cactus fruit, but grey inside, not purple. Again, phenomenal when ripe.

The white or grey inside variety is not very tasty, they are cheaper too. I like the deep purple inside.

I can get prickly pear cactus fruits here but they're not nearly as fresh as the ones in Nevada, or fresh picked off the open desert! They're sometimes called Indian Figs.
