With the amount of matcha I added you can taste it, it’s more of a background flavor though and does not dominate the other flavors. I think it blends nicely with the wasabi and sweetness of the broocoflower. The broccoflower remains the dominate flavor.

Could you taste the matcha?

manggy: the matcha isn’t sweet, just earthy/green tea taste. I think it’s one of those things that’s trendy right now – I like green tea flavors in moderation (and wouldn’t think of infecting any shortbread with it).

*don’t be an ass* You can’t scrutinize my pantry unless you’re sharing what yours looks like. Actually, the pic only shows a few shelves — I have a whole other cupboard dedicated to baking and other things (grains, pasta etc.) And yes, there’s some JIF – it’s on the miscellaneous shelf with vinegars, sesame seeds, chiu chow oil, breadcrumbs, and worchestshire sauce.

Oh, and the d**t is kinda f**ked :)

I love the idea of a mash, and I think you did great things with it. I prefer chili over wasabi because I associate wasabi with a metallic taste (also: English mustard and horseradish), but a little of it is just right for me :) Did you include the stalks in the mash? I think it looks great, even if you say the photo wasn’t accurate.

Because I’m kind of an ass, I scrutinized your pantry :p Actually it looks very sensible, heh heh :) That JIF (even if it’s reduced-fat) can’t be good for any d**t, though, haha!
