As amazing as that all looks, I'm a bit suspect about the first pic of poison mushroom looking things on top of Easter egg grass!

Ever make a liver loaf?

Nope, what is it?

Nope, what is it?

Kind of like meat loaf except it has lots of liver. I make it occasionally but mostly cook it like you did. The loaf is good for making sandwiches.

Recipe - Zuppa Toscana Soup

Thanks!

 

[Morning Glory]

A modest soup for lunch. Vegetable stock, carrots, peas, mushrooms, Spring onion, cabbage and fenugreek. A 15 minute soup really!

 

[Barriehie]

I've got a a bunch of fenugreek and should eat it more often. It's great for aging issues.

 

[medtran49]

Wilted arugula, gaeta olives, and ricotta salata with cavatelli pasta. Also has lots of fresh thyme, garlic, and black pepper.

Not to worry; I've never poisoned anyone yet!
It's called pani puri. The sphere is basically a round of semolina dough, rolled out really thin, then filled with spicy chickpeas, tamarind chutney and a spot of yoghurt. To finish off the spectacle, a herbed "water" (called pani) is poured into the sphere and you pop the whole lot into your mouth at once.
The "water"is made with cilantro, fresh mint, a green chile or two, ginger, salt and sugar, blended into a shiny green liquid.
Pani puri never fail to suprise.
