I love it when restaurants put old pics of their staff up. I want a time machine so I can go back to 1959 and flirt with this waitress:

I'll bet her name is Doris.

Say what you will about tofu, it is satisfying to make by hand. There's this whole (stress relieving) process of wringing the soy milk from the pulp that I very much enjoy -- plus tofu does have flavor when freshly made and eaten the same day, a very subtle, almost nutty sweet quality.

Hats off to you. :thankyou: I made it once myself.... and I agree. A labour of love though. I still have a jar of those leftover bits (can't remember what they are called).
 
In the US every fast food chain seems to have a chicken sandwich on their menu these days. I see numerous commercials on TV about it. I have no idea how they taste, other than Chik-fil-A, which I love, but I don't eat them often. I think the average price for a chicken sandwich is $3.50 or more (just the sandwich). I can buy an 8-piece of really good fried chicken for $8. I just cut the breast off the bone and heat it up, then put it on a toasted brioche bun with dill pickle slices, mayo, mustard, and lettuce. It's a lot less expensive and tastes really good!

This was my 1 p.m. breakfast, lol.

I make our own sometimes as well. usually from the actual beans themselves and you are right, the flavour is definitely much nicer.

Left over bits? ... Do you mean the pulp? It's called Okara. People add it to their croquet batter. There are other stir fry dishes that use it too, if you're interested.

Do they sell soy milk for the purpose of making tofu where you live? I never imagined it'd be popular outside Asia.

Yes. there is a very large Asian population in Australia so Asian food is actually easier to obtain than Indian. I can make it from several of the organic soy milks sold but home-made is just as easy and in my view if you're going to the effort of making your own tofu from soya milk you may as well make the soya milk yourself. it's not that difficult and only 1 extra step. plus you know there are far fewer additives that way.
 
Deep fried pickles. I'd never heard of these until recently, and learnt of them via a YouTube channel I watch. It's not a food channel, but a motorbike vlogger that occasionally eats these at petrol (gas) stations in Tampa where he lives as he rides around the place. Anyway, a bit of googling and whatnot and this is the result here in my Aussie kitchen.

I made a video for these and have been eating them for days, I made 24. They're so good though. Just pop 'em in the microwave and crunch, crunch, crunch.

Oh, they're Curry Pan, maybe Curry Bread in English (does anyone know what they're called?). They're kinda like pizza pockets, only stuffed with curry, breaded in panko and deep fried.

Its a big "dill" here in te US, especially in the southern states. Most commonly it's pickle chips, though.
