What new foods have you tried recently?

[RubyToogood]

Some mystery Polish yoghurt containing I think plaster, judging by what I had to do to get it off the spoon after it had dried.

 

[Pingu]

tbh I have no idea what it was but it was nice and from a Peruvian place. it was a rice/bean/potatoey (but not potato)/cucumber thing - just wish there had been enough of it that I didn't have to buy a sandwich afterwards

the restaurant itself though sucked

 

[gentlegreen]

Beetroot juice - it's blended with apple so it's overly sweet and more than twice as calorific as V8 ...
Not worth the calories or extra cost IMHO ..
It reminds me of when I had an allotment and found myself with a spectacular beetroot harvest I struggled to do anything with that I liked ...

 

[xenon]

Tried Tom Yam fish soup the other night.

I'm not a fan. Lemon grass, too fragrant. Wasn't sure what the fish was.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Red Currants, sharp but they go fairly well with yoghurt.

Not sure I'd get em again

 

[Orang Utan]

Donut peach - squashed looking peach - very very tasty

Craisins are better

Haven't tried it yet, but I just got some smoked Spanish paprika. I've never found it in stores around here and just ran into it. It might even be worth the staggering sum of $7 I paid for it.

It's addictive - I end up putting it in everything.

I seems to always be buying it. I put it on everything!

 

[Fez909]

Raddish kimchi. It was nice, but I prefer cabbage.

 

[A380]

Southern US biscuits and sausage gravy. Like scones covered a white cheese sauce with sausage meat in it. Very odd but also very nice.

I had a phase of that. Then I got really really sick of it...

OMG

 

[gentlegreen]

Ground flaxseed.

I'd been chucking them in whole (and therefore wastefully) in my bread for years - along with sesame, sunflower, pumpkin and hemp, but I'm now using them partly as a weight-loss aid, and partly to systematically optimise my diet for the future with regards omega 3 and fibre ...

I'm somewhat hooked - especially with some I bought in Aldi a couple of days ago blended with sesame and blueberries which I've been eating straight from the packet - and it's quite calorie-dense.

It has been having "interesting" effects on the latter parts of digestion - but I also have a bit of lurgy that could be exacerbating it...

 

[Libertad]

OMG

OMG indeed We bought some of this week as well. Crunchy though, must resist.

 

[Belushi]

I like the biscuits, can't imagine it as a spread

Tis a thing of beauty. Excellent in a banana butty and added to porridge.

I love how that in order to avoid listing sugar as the first ingredient they list it three times.

As well as only listing per "serving" and not also per 100g.

who cares? i never look at them. it tastes amazing on homemade seeded bread

 

[gentlegreen]

Well yes, I treat myself to even more calorific crunchy PNB on my bread at the weekend - and a similar serving size because I weighed it, but in my current "diet mode" it rings alarm bells - and I've always been happier eating things with only one ingredient ...
I'm trying to not give my insulin any excuse to turn my breakfast into stored fat.

 

[twentythreedom]

OMG

Fuck me, must get that. I love the biscuits, if the spread is as yummy it will be epic

eat it, don't science it

 

[Saffy]

OMG

I need to try this but I know I'll end up eating with a spoon out of the jar.
I always go to the same coffee shop as they give you one of the biscuit with your drink.

that's what i've been doing

 

[polly]

They sell the biscuits in huge packs in Poundworld The spread is pretty fucking nice too. I only ever eat mine out of the jar with a spoon, but reckon it would be nice with vanilla ice cream...
