 JW> Iranian basmati

 GJ> Did you cook it any special way to get the greatest benefit out of it,

Prepare it by boiling/steaming as you would any long grain white
rice. Or fry it in oil and butter with aromatic spices before
steaming/ boiling it. There's lots of good Indian, Persian and Arab
recipes that call for that method.
 
 GJ> I have drunk Campari, and I have eaten tomatoes, but not together.
 GJ> How do you prepare them?

As well as an bitter herbal aperitif Campari is a variety and a brand
name of tomatoes. They are the ones Dale praised so highly.

I have just formatted another batch of odd ball recipes off my
favourite blogs....

     Title: Maracaibo Kay Francis Cocktail From Venezuela
Categories: alcohol, beverages
  Servings: 1

      1 oz Fundador brandy [or cognac]
      1 oz Anis del Mono [or other
           decent anisette]
      1 oz strong black tea 

Shake with ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Twist lemon
or orange peel on top, then discard peel.

On occasion you come across a recipe that has to be tried to be
believed. 

Baker credits Senor F. Garcia Bode, Master-of-Mahogany-&-Mix at Cafe
Plaza, at West Boliver 13, with creation of this drink. It is, at
first glance, an odd one: Spanish brandy and Spanish anisette in
equal parts, with another part of strong black tea. But, it's one of
those odd combinations that may just work, the tannins in the tea
taking the sweet edge off the anisette, and the sharp anise note
breathing some life into the brandy.

As Baker wrote, "Try this one when some well-traveled soul drops-in,
to vary the old usual Cocktail routine." Sound advice indeed.
