Strange Food ideas.

[Toddy]

One that I have difficulty getting people on board with, and I've mentioned it here before, is curry porridge. Fry off an onion, bit of garlic, ginger, chillies or whatever you fancy add a masala and cook the rawness off it, then hoof in your oats and water and cook as you would for 'normal' porridge. If you think about it, it's not massively different from a lentil dal.

We make skirlie.
Basically fry up an onion in whatever fat you have to hand, and when it's golden brown enough to suit you, stir in oatmeal...not rolled oats, oatmeal.....and cook until it's coloured a little. Season it really well and serve. I think it's like the American 'grits'
Anyhow, it seasons well with chilli or garam masala
I know some folks who fold in flaked smoked fish to theirs, or a scrambled egg. I like herbs through mine.

Have heard of people eating this before - not tried myself , so can only think there is something to it all.

Would I lie to you?

Smoky chipotle beef ragu calzone? I think there’s lots of potential in that marriage of cuisines.

Chillies are already used in Italian cooking, as are smoky sausages and meats, so other than using the word "chipotle" I don't see how this is at all "strange".
