I have a mate who loves the taste of tomatos but can't eat them because of the texture.

That's how my wife is with Flan (a Mexican dessert). That makes more sense, though, as its texture bares some reseblence to the stuff that you cough up when you have a bad chest cold.

Heh...Drew, maybe I went to school with your wife. That little concoction is called "fry sauce". I can get it in any fast food restaurant here.

And by the way, in Holland, they cover their french fries in straight mayo. It's discusting.

:) Heh....true that. But I've seen it in person. They get their fries from vendors on the street in big paper cones, kinda like what you see those glazed almonds served in during the holidays. And on top the vendor will scoop an enormous scoop of mayo. It's seriously revolting.

Hey shmokes, I'm getting it down to a science, and each time it's getting better, as you foretold.
Yesterday, I used 10 oz of water....just a touch more than a touch too much. I'm a bit ill today, so the experiment will have to wait until the next "I'm hungry" day, but here's something for ya - I've only got Chicken Ramen left, and there is a spice that makes it OHSONICE! McCormick's Big 'N Bold concoctions, it's the roasted garlic & (red?) bell pepper.....a shake of it on each side (4 shakes total, lest someone get cornfused) along with the seasoning packet.
Also, BE SURE to use a non-stick pan, and add a shot or two of olive oil to prevent sticking/add flavor.
If'n yer feelin' REALLY saucy, add a dash or four of the Chipotle Tabasco.
I'm a-gonna try using 4 oz Riesling and 4 oz water next time. After that, I'm gonna see what getting a life will do for me!
p.s. My wife thinks I'm nuts cooking ramen this way, but what the heck does she know? She's a mayo freak ;) ;D
