Haha!! Was waiting for a comment mate!!!
I'm prepping a pie base for a smoked desert I am planning for my Birthday.
I've never done one before so am experimenting before the real cook day!

How did it go?
I've never made a dessert in the smoker but you have got me thinking.
What are you filling the pastry base with?

They're not gold top as in the hallucinogenic type and probably won't make you sick if you cooked them.Two pumpkin vines there, they will be japs, and maybe gold topped mushrooms, unsure, they do look fragile, and I don't think I'll cook them up to try.
Anyone able to identify the mushrooms at all ?
layful:
There's over 2000 different mushrooms in Australia and I think there are 14 that'll kill you for sure, so the odds are in your favour - feeling lucky?
General rule of thumb if you're not sure is
STAY WELL AWAY FROM THE WHITE ONES THAT ARE WHITE UNDERNEATH AS WELL!
From memory all 14 known killers fall into this colour scheme. Death caps especially (the most deadly globally) are in this category and you are going to die even if you only have a little bite, there's no antidote and no second chance so remember the rule of thumb and enjoy your trip into the world of mycology. It stands to reason if it looks really weird or smells like dog **** you're not going to put it in your mouth either, some can make you feel a bit crook thousands are delicious some not so much had one once tasted like marshmallows.
Those toadstool in children's books (red with spots) "Aminita Muscaria" might kill you if you eat them but will definitely make you vomit your heart out eating raw or cooked, yet some bake dry them out as it converts the poison into an hallucinogenic might make them a bit weak stomached but they're off with the fairies like in the kids books and don't care.
Cooked up a pea and ham soup being a little cool and wet outside today. Wanted some bread to go with it. Turkish bread is a fav. and I’ve never made it before. Here’s the first attempt.
Unfortunately it tasted as good as it looks.

Looks just like the real thing, yummy.

I read somewhere that Turkish bread has sugar in it is that right? Looks great.
Hi Jaros,
There is a bit of sugar in the recipe. One tablespoon of sugar is added to the mix but that makes two loaves of bread. The yeast would have a good feast on that sugar and help the dough rise.

Can you put up the recipe Les? Cheers Mackka
