Hot nights, cold cuisine

If you go out to eat during this hot weather, cold cuisine is definitely the best. Think Northern Chinese (cold jellyfish salad, cold mixed noodles, cold sliced meat) and Japanese (sushi, sashimi, seaweed salad, cold soba, other salads).

I don't think the Cantonese do cold food except for dessert. So you might want to rule out yum cha (but I guess you'd be in air-conditioned comfort).

Sydney should have a Cold Food Festival (you heard it here first). Cold desserts. Cold drinks. Cold mains. Get Sensodyne to sponsor the event. It'd need a jazzier name. Can someone make it happen?

  1. I was drafting a list of home-made cold dinners! Here it is.

    Flavoured icy-tubes.
    Yoghurt. Frozen is good.
    Stonefruit from the fridge.
    Frozen mango.
    Refrigerated tinned corn.

    You can sort of tell I don't like cooking in summer. I bought a salad last night, with cold chicken schnitzel: strange but good.
