Interesting batt, what does abalone taste like?

Mart I would guess that it’s a bit like your Ormer’s?
Batt, Jack Cheese? Would that be like a strong tasting Cheddar?

Not so sure mate, they might look like an ormer but I dont think they taste the same.

hi guys - abalone are similar to calamari steaks in texture but if prepared properly can be even more supple (less chewy). Braising them is also a good way to prepare them. And they make an excellent chowder too.

They really pick up the flavor of whatever you cook them with ( usually garlic and butter) The mollusk itself has a mild flavor. I have a friend who swears by cooking them in duck-fat and won't eat them any other way :duh

and Paul, Jack Cheese is very mild - not sharp or strong like some cheddars - more like a cross btwn a muenster cheese and a mozarella.

anyone hungry yet?

cheers,

kp
