(m)other tongue symposium

At this gustatory symposium, for both the tongue tied and practised, secrets of the tongue will be shared. Hosted by Mother Tongue with Experts of the Tongue – who will loosen tongues to shake out the subtle flavours and textures of their knowledge – join fellow tongue fanciers for tongue exercises, poems in (m)other tongues, tongue cooked and consumed, and tongue tales – stories, recipes, facts and fictions.

F.A.C.T. 12: The tongue-atorium

A project of Berni M Janssen with Gunther Wilhelm. The tongue-atorium is a research centre dedicated to all things tongue. Here, you will find facts and fictions from the worlds of science, taste, sound, language, visual and culinary arts. Ranging from the grotesque to the erotic, your tongue will be tantalised, tested, loosened and set wagging. Artists, cooks, family and friends from across the world have contributed to this accumulation of physical, metaphorical and ambiguous tongue. Visitors are invited to bring a story, recipe, image, sound or poem to add to the collection.

ebi footscray

Round the corner from us, less than a hundred paces away, is a florist, a little convenience store and what used to be a traditional fish and chip shop. The chippie closed down a while ago, and not surprisingly either: we were never able to find it open for business.In the same spot opened Ebi, a Japanese fish and chippery as it calls itself. Time and time again we meant to try it, and in the past few weeks we've managed to become almost regulars.In the bleak midwinter, Ebi is a little oasis of red light. At lunchtime or in the ... read more

Chicago-style hot dogs

I don't care what anyone says - America's national food has got to be the hot dog.  The Tribune recently reported that between Memorial Day and Labor Day alone (the American summer), 300 million Americans consume 7 billion hot dogs.  7 BILLION!  While hot dogs for Australians mean those awful, pallid things encased in violent pink skin that is wont to split unappetisingly, American hot dogs are actually more like sausages, albeit heavily processed ones.  Many brands are available that do not have any fillers or byproducts.  Kosher brands are particularly well regarded.Byron's in Wrigleyville, Chicago, serve dogs by the ... read more
