    Certainly something you couldn't say to Kirky!
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

        For the record, my slap-dash meal consisted of only chicken (white) and tomato, red kidney beans and chilli (red). Yes, I'm a bachelor.
        wow so you are batching on red and white food in Romania??? you should get some goulash and sour cream - kind of red and white I guess.

          have a look in the Good Living guide in todays SMH and it has an article that ROK actually does a bit of time in a commercial kitchen every Tuesday night at Eleven Kitchen & Cellar at King St Wharf[

          Its a bit of a french style bistro arrangement on the waterfront. The article isnt on the net but it does say that ROK feels that he has 5 more years in AFL but is looking to the Culinary side of things once retired - he might have a restaurant in the future perhaps called "ROK AT THE ROCKS" !

                    Lobster with a side salad of grilled haloumi cheese, cherry tomatoes baked with balsamic, salt and pepper, and red cabbage, with a garlic, turnip and potato puree. Epic red and white meal. Alternatively, instead of lobster, have veal or salmon carpaccio, cured with lime juice and drizzled with truffle oil.

                      the cabbage is actually purple and turnips should be used for cattle feed - liked the rest of it though!

                          Meh, purple is just red and blue. The blue comes from all Kirky's bruises he has picked up at the bottom of every pack of every game he has ever played!

                          Also, I used to think similarly to you on turnips, and I still generally don't like them, but I had what I just described once (I can't actually remember if there were potatos or not, but I think there were) and it was absolutely delicious.

                          Also, now I think about it, the lobster probably wouldn't go with the haloumi and cherry tomato salad, so going with the carpaccio is a better idea.

                            like the idea - but try as I might to head down the Capaccio route - I just cant come at raw meat of any kind - medium rare cooked beef - not a problem - but cold (or room temp) raw fish or steak - bucket please!!! I know I have failed you all!

                              Pah, it's not raw! It's cured. Do you eat prosciutto? Same thing, basically.

                                prosciutto is at least dry cured - the other stuff isnt - and I'm not a fan of straight lemon juice (unless its in a citrus tart or a gin and tonic!) and I'm no fan of vinvegar straight up either - its all a bit too slimey - yes as I have said I have failed you all!
