You Ozzies sure have a weird wild and whacky mixed up system of weights and measures. Can't you be consistent and translate the grams into Engilsh units like lb and oz, or else translate the tbs into SI units like ml?

Seriously, though, it does sound good...and easy. Is the smoked salmon you use the lox type (I think it's cold smoked) or the flakier type that they sell in the U&L? Do you sort of flake it up before adding to the dish or do you use large pieces?

(And how do you tell a baby caper from an adult caper, or a teenage caper for that matter?)

I use fresh cold smoked salmon,
I usually buy a side of it from the fish markets here in Sydney.
I slice it into strips short for this recipe

Baby capers are the tiny ones that are about a 1/4 to a 1/3 the size of the regular ones
I usually buy mine preserved in wine vinegar in a glass jar.

A big "you're welcome" from the U&L-btw.

We're still waiting on our "thank you" from the Midwestern USA, but it would be nice to hear it from the Aussies, as well.
