Woke up this morning and thought of making a burnt sweetcorn aioli.

Seems it's never been done as a real aioli.

Added a BBQ section to the site. I recommend Dark Rum Poussin.

Tarragon can be very overpowering so shoud be used in moderation.

A simple tarragon, garlic, white wine and butter sauce is great with chicken breast.

Essentially, melt the butter, brown off the chicken breast for a few minutes - remove the breast, wrap in foild and place in the oven (180C) and cook for about 20 minutes.

In the butter used to brown the chicken, add in a chopped clove of garlic and fry off for a minute; add a good glug or two of wine and bring to a simmer to reduce by half. Throw in a palmful of chopped tarragon and leave off the heat until the chicken is done. Warm up the sauce; whick some butter in to thicken and serve.

If you have loads, look at flavouring some vinegar.

Also tarragon mayo goes well with meaty fish.

Saw a thing on TV last night about farming insects for human consumption being the way forward. A typical beef burger requires having a cow that has drank over 3,000L of water in its life. The equivalent insect burger required only one cup of water so far better environmentally.

TBF the food looked damn good and I'd try it. They also made cookies from crickets that looked good and 95% of the people who blind taste tested them said they'd have them again, with 66% preferring them to a supermarket equivalent.

I'm not fussed about what I eat so long as it tastes nice.

I watched that as well, was really interesting. <ok>

Would like to take a trip to St David's and eat at that insect restaurant they established. Think it was called the Grub Kitchen?

I went to a restaurant in London a few years ago that served insects. Was delicious!

Looked it up just for you. Archipelago near Goodge Street.

They didn't have enough insects on the menu for us so they made us some extra dishes. The alpaca and plantain are really good as a meat dish too if you go.

Nice one, I'll keep it in mind!

My in-laws used to keep alpacas on their farm to keep foxes away. They were useless bastards (the alpacas, not the in-laws).
SpoilerShow
although some the in-laws are also useless bastards.
