A picnic lunch.

Asafoetida does taste vaguely like onions and garlic, and is used in Indian cookery for those strict Hindus who will not eat onions or garlic for religious reasons. However, it has some flavour notes which identify it as a seriously Asian spice, and I would not put it into a paella. It'd be akin to covering your pizza with ketchup instead of tomato salsa.
My wife says it smells like body odour..lol
 
A fail, in all aspects, but it's the learning curve...
Originally, I aimed for gluten free homemade tagliatelle. Millet flour. Eggs. Despite the guar, no hold.
Basically they cooked like Spaetzle.

Soy oil, don't like the taste, industrial to me.

Saffron, did not release much colour in the soy oil.

Onion was bland. Omitted garlic, caring not to overpower Saffron.

Couldn't wait to grab the vegan parmiggiano or the olives, to uplift.

Just a no, from all sides.
😑😑🙄

My consolation was a fresh peach afterwards.

There was a fun moment though, 1 of the eggs was a twin. I used 2 eggs, but you see 3 yolks. Never happened before, as far as memory goes.

I really appreciate it when people are honest about fails, the listing of what was wrong with it or what you’d do differently next time makes me trust the persons judgment 👍
