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.

That looks excellent! It's like a hybrid between coq au vin and chicken fricassee.
Coq au vin the ancienne/old way is done with a bottle of heavy red wine and a tough old hen or rooster and simmered for hours
Fantastic dish

My kid turned me onto smash burgers in the last few years. Those look great, but just one of those smash burgers, and maybe a bite or two of pasta would fill me up, lol. My kid, on the other hand, could devour everything you posted before I even took a bite!

Not at the price of these sausages...
They did get a beef bone each though. I figure they prefer that anyway
Looks great - how do you make the soup (always on the lookout for interesting avocado avenues) and what is the bush tucker you had?

The bush tucker dukkar is a Aussie thing with native fruits, seeds and nuts.

Last night we went to our friends house for a cheese evening, there were only 4 of us so there was quite a bit left over but my word, what a spread.
