JudyB Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Avocado pears are a recent like - especially when made into guacamole. Quote
supergran71 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Filo pastry - made a blackberry and apple pie with it on saturday. It was great. Quote
Lilywhite Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 For me it's spinach and leeks. I'd never considered them before (not much a fan of green foods) but since I have I eat them quite a lot, especially the leeks. Quote
JudyB Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Spinach and sprouts now I know that they don't have to be boiled to a mush I've learnt to love them Quote
Maureen Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 All veg taste horrible once overcooked (I think I can say most foods too!). Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Totally agree Maureen. My gran is famous for her burnt food - anything she tries to cook she burns. So I do the cooking when at hers. Veg is awful overcooked. I like it when cauliflower, carrots, sprouts are still slightly hard, not mush. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Tonight I discovered freeze dried strawberries coated in white chocolate from Asda. They were yummy. I can't eat normal chocolate so I scoffed loads of them like a starving man. They had the texture of malteasers but the flavour of strawberries. Will definitely be getting them again. Quote
Nici Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I have always disliked soup apart from in restaurants so I decided I would give the 'New Convent Garden' soups a try and they are delish! I can't get enough of them! So far I have tried Brocolli and Stilton and the Chicken one. But I also have the Pea and Ham and Mushroom ones sitting in my fridge. Tesco's are doing two cartons for Quote
Icecream Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Wow! Every dish I cook, except for chicken soup, has garlic as one of the ingredients. Here in Malta having garlic and onions in the kitchen is as essential as having milk and butter in the fridge. We use lot's of garlic too. It is very good for you. All veg taste horrible once overcooked (I think I can say most foods too!). Millie says I have to say that mushed veg is the best veg. Of course she is only six months old. I am sure she will shange her mind very soon, but it suits her just fine right now. This week I have discovered blackberry sauce, blackberry pudding, tzatziki, and creme fraiche (tesco's finest). Also the new chocolate bars from dairy milk with fruit in, which were on offer, so I was naughty and bought both! Quote
~Andrea~ Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I'm not a big fan of crunchy veg - I don't like the carrots as they come in nice restaurants, I like them soft - not cooked to death, just soft. Quote
KW Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 We were in Chicago this week and I had a divine chilly drink at the Hershey's store: Frozen Cocoa...similar to Serendipity's ( in NYC ) Frozen Hot Chocolate but not as rich. YUM. Quote
Maureen Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 I'm not a big fan of crunchy veg - I don't like the carrots as they come in nice restaurants, I like them soft - not cooked to death, just soft. I love them raw! Quote
~Andrea~ Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I'll eat raw veg as part of a salad or as a snack, but not in my cooked dinner. Quote
bookwormmum Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Sardines in tomato sauce - I love them, but only discovered them this year. Quote
JudyB Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 II decided I would give the 'New Convent Garden' soups a try and they are delish! I can't get enough of them! Tesco's are doing two cartons for Quote
Bella Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Sardines in tomato sauce - I love them, but only discovered them this year. Hot, mashed with salt & pepper and spread on buttered toast mmm otherwise yukk Quote
twinkle Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Prawns! As a kid and in my 20s, the only seafood I ate was out of the chippy, but now I'm getting adventurous in my old age. I just can't get enough of them, as long as they're already unshelled otherwise they look a bit like spiders with all those legs and so I can't touch them. I have prawns with saag masala at least once a week now. I love the stuff. Quote
lexi Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 sushi.. I never thought it would be so delicious I've been a fan of Japan (culture, animation, food) for a while but I've just recently started experiencing with the food and I love it If you don't like a raw fish, you can always use one from a can, and if you don't like fish at all, you can still make it taste great with vegetables or something else Quote
poppy Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I agree lexi. I've only started eating sushi this year and I absolutely adore it. One thing I tried recently which was pretty funny was a frappuccino. Well I didn't know what it was, I live in the country and we don't have a Starbuck's handy. It was the middle of winter, a freezing cold day and there I was trying to get down this sub-zero drink. They put freaking ice in it One bad case of brain freeze later .... I'm sticking to my normal flat white next time. Quote
Colin Jacobs Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Well I tried Skate for the first time, I dont like Fish cos of the bones but my Landlord told me Skate dont have none. It was nice, Quote
Child.of.God.1989 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I can't eat normal chocolate so I scoffed loads of them like a starving man. Oh, Andrea... I feel like we need to start up a charity for you or something, to find a "cure," for lack of a better word, for not being able to indulge in the bit of paradise that is chocolate! (Yeesh, do you think I sounded enough like a pompous glutton? I honestly do feel a little sad you have to withhold yourself from that.) I was going to mention frappuccinos, too. Since I'm not a coffee person, and in the Seattle area and dorm life people go out for specialty drinks a lot, I had to figure out something other than hot chocolate to have in July. All right, that isn't really a new discovery for me, but I did only recently try the double chocolate chip flavor. Induuulll-GENCE! Quote
JudyB Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Well I tried Skate for the first time, I dont like Fish cos of the bones but my Landlord told me Skate dont have none. It was nice, I love skate - it's quite a new one for me too. One thing I thought I hated because I had only tried it pickled out of jars is beetroot. Now that I've tried it fresh either raw or roasted (with horseradish added) I love it - it's so tasty. Quote
Colin Jacobs Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Just introduced my Girlfriend to Pickled Eggs with worster sauce in a bag of ready salted crisps. Quote
Peacefield Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 This may sound silly, but I discovered Panco bread crumbs a few weeks ago. A friend and I made this AMAZING Scallops Gratin recipe we saw the Barefoot Contessa do on the Food Network and it was delicious! Since then I've used Panco in many recipes that normally would have called for traditional bread crumbs. Quote
tbain Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Beetroot. I have never liked or ate it all these years but I really like it now. It is lovely in a sandwich with ham or corned beef. Quote
