Raymond's Travels Raymond will be on the road throughout New Zealand. Keep and eye out for classes and demonstrations near you. He's also been traveling further a field and has come back with some very interesting food news. Raymond returned recently from a trip to Europe, where he ran BBQ courses. He also made a trip to Iceland to run courses and visit friends and whilst there played the role of food detective. Always keen to try different tastes and techniques, Raymond had a ball (literally!!) and other delicacies Some of the highlights were: Fermented ‘rotten’ shark. Shark meat is buried in sand at the sea’s edge so that the salt water brines the meat. After 3 months the shark meat is hung and dried and then sliced off and consumed. This is traditionally washed down with a glass of schnapps (to take away the flavour)!! Seabird eggs, Diced puffin, Sheep’s Head (photo), Testicles in Jelly, Whale meat – marinated, BBQ’d and smoked. One thing that intrigued Raymond was what the source of smoke might be as there are few trees on Iceland. The answer – dried sheep’s dung! Raymond says there was a distinctive flavour to the smoked goods! Well, keep grilling - every day is a barbeque day. Cheers
