Ok, so it’s just too quiet around here. I’ve decided to do something to liven it up a bit. I’ve invented a new game. What happens is I will give you the name of a food, for example aubergine. The next person that reads this post and wants to comment has to tell us something about that food. Now that could be a strange unknown fact about it, or it could be your personal reaction to that food (yummy with …, or yuck I wouldn’t touch it with a barge-pole) or it could be a recipe including that food as one of the ingredients. Finally they have to name a new item of food for the next person to comment on. Got it?
No, probably not. Let me give you an example
If I said aubergine, the first commenter could say any one of the following things
“I love eating aubergine with …..”
“I know a recipe with aubergine in, it’s …”
“I know another name for aubergine, we call it eggplant”
They would finish off by saying “the next food is …” and the next person would take that food and start over.
So there you have it, Debs’ new game. And the first food for you to get your teeth into islemons.

Bok Choy……..
Comment by lady laura — July 31, 2007 @ 12:14 pm
P.S. Good idea, Debs!
Comment by lady laura — July 31, 2007 @ 12:14 pm
The first time I bought Bok Choy, the one I had was full of caterpillar poo.
However, that’s not very useful, so I will say that it’s yummy stir fryed with a little sesame oil, soy sauce and sesame seeds.
Let’s try parsnips
Comment by Bekki — July 31, 2007 @ 1:08 pm
I’ve never eaten a parsnip…and in the past would have said I never would. But now I’ll try just about anything!!
The next food is tofu.
(YAY Debs!!)
Comment by blestwithsons — July 31, 2007 @ 1:35 pm
Can’t stand tofu, just cannot do it.
The next food is pomegranate.
Comment by Kellie — July 31, 2007 @ 1:38 pm
Tofu…I think a person needs to know what kind to buy and how to cook it properly before they try to do so! I made tofu spaghetti once and…well, something was definitely wrong! Someday I’ll try again!
The next food is blueberries…
Comment by Dawn — July 31, 2007 @ 1:46 pm
Oops, sorry, should have refreshed!
Comment by Dawn — July 31, 2007 @ 1:46 pm
That’s ok Dawn
Hmm, lets see. Blueberries and pomegranate are both very cool words. I’ve eaten blueberries, and we have some in the fridge right now, however I’ve never, so far as I can remember, eaten pomegranate.
The next food is cheese.
Comment by Debs — July 31, 2007 @ 2:03 pm
I love cheese! What more needs to be said? Cheese & macaroni, cheese on crackers, cheese & wine. I think I might be starting to sound like Wallace & Grommet.
Hmmm, next food is… rhubarb.
Comment by Anita — July 31, 2007 @ 2:17 pm
Ok, pull up some rhubarb from the garden, cut it and wash it, and stick it in a bowl with a dash of water and a little bit of sugar (or sugar substitute). Stick it in the microwave for a little while, until it’s soft and then eat
Add some creme fraiche or yoghurt if you so desire. Delicious.
The next food is mushrooms
Comment by Debs — July 31, 2007 @ 2:20 pm
Ok, since Debs is jumping in on quite a few, I have to do this one. My best friend once had a recipe which I thought was called Really Good Mushrooms. She didn’t tell me until years later that the recipe was just Mushrooms and that she scribbled Really Good across the top because she really liked them. I have no idea how to make this low cal or low fat. Sorry!
Here’s the recipe:
Really Good Mushrooms
2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons butter
1 pound mushrooms (or more)
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
Combine Oyster sauce, dry sherry and soy sauce in a bowl. Set aside. Saute the mushrooms and onion in the butter over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the sauce mixture and reduce the heat. Simmer for approximately 20 minutes until the sauce is glossy.
Comment by Anita — July 31, 2007 @ 2:56 pm
Ok people, I’m leaving you to it now cos I’m off to bed. But Anita, they need a new food! Night all xxx
Comment by Debs — July 31, 2007 @ 3:00 pm
oops! I forgot the new food.
How about tuna?
Comment by Anita — July 31, 2007 @ 3:00 pm
Ooh I love tuna, fresh or tinned. My daughter, HP, used to take tuna for her packed lunch every day - in a pot to eat with a spoon. She didn’t and doesnt like sandwiches. She ate the bread separately just with butter.
The next food is bananas.
Comment by elly — July 31, 2007 @ 3:03 pm
Bananas are only good if they are still slightly green…unless you’re making CJ’s Oatmeal Cookies, and then they can be all the way ripe.
The next food is…
Beans
Comment by blestwithsons — July 31, 2007 @ 3:16 pm
There are so many kinds of good beans. Green beans, red beans, kidney beans, butter beans, but my favorite is black beans. Yummy and heathy too.
And the new word is Tangerines.
Comment by Tracy — July 31, 2007 @ 3:23 pm
LOVE Tangerines. They are best in January, don’t ask why they just are.
Shrimp come on down you are the next contestant!!
Comment by Kellie — July 31, 2007 @ 5:30 pm
I love grilled shrimp and shrimp coctail. I used to love shrimp scampi, but it isn’t very figure friendly.
The next word is chocolate!
Comment by Gina — July 31, 2007 @ 5:49 pm
Chocolate is a gift from God, provided it’s dark. If it’s milk, it has been tainted by the Fall.
How about Rutabagas?!
Comment by lady laura — July 31, 2007 @ 5:59 pm
Ok I have heard of rutabagas, a root vegetable I think but I have never to my knowledge eaten one. Are they good? Laura you do like coming up with the vegetables don’t you.
O and by the way Blest I love over ripe bananas, can;t see what you can like about them when they are nearly green.
Ok next food is tomatoes.
Comment by Elly — August 1, 2007 @ 2:58 am
(a quite aside to Elly - I’m pretty sure that rutabagas are what we call swede, in which case you have eaten it lots of times!)
Comment by Debs — August 1, 2007 @ 3:02 am
Ohhhhh Tomatoes. Tomatoes can make me cry. I adore them! My grandfather was a farmer and the best tomatoes ever came sun warm from his fields. (which is the part that makes me cry) I don’t think a day goes by in which I don’t consume tomatoes…
Next food….
Oats
Comment by blestwithsons — August 1, 2007 @ 5:44 am
Oats are for horses. Okay, they’re for people too. I might be the only one on here who doesn’t like cooked oatmeal cereal-stuff. It makes me want to gag just thinking about it. Childhood trauma and all that.
How about Garlic?
Comment by lady laura — August 1, 2007 @ 5:55 am
Laura, I didn’t really like oatmeal until we tried steel cut oats. And we’ve tried cooking it with milk and without milk. I prefer the no milk method. With fresh fruit. Try it.
Ok. Garlic. Garlic is used to keep vampires away. (kidding) Also works good at keeping wives away. But that’s a different story.
My husband loves garlic. I’m not as fond of it. But most recipes need garlic to give it more depth of flavor. I just prefer to taste all the flavors, not just garlic.
And, another FYI. Don’t precook dinner with lots of onions and garlic in the morning before going to work out at the club! All I could smell while working out was the onions and garlic my hands had touched while chopping. And it made me want to quit exercising as soon as possible!
Let’s talk about honey.
Comment by Anita — August 1, 2007 @ 6:33 am
Honey. ick. Don’t like it - and I’ve tried to! The only way I can deal with honey is used as a sweetener in baked goods. Even then, I can taste that distinctive honey taste and it’s not my favorite.
Let’s see….
BREAD
Comment by blestwithsons — August 1, 2007 @ 6:49 am
No one touched bread? Christ Jesus is the bread of life.
And bread is necessary for a nice sandwich, with spicy mustard, lean turkey, tomatoes, cukes, and lettuce. Yummy!
Jalapenos are next.
Comment by lady laura — August 1, 2007 @ 11:25 am
Jalapenos blended with onion, allspice, cinnamon, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and probably something I’m forgetting make JERK. Jerk is fabulous on meat - especially a roasted pork loin. I wish the pork loin I’m about to roast had been marinated that way. Sigh.
Next food…you guessed it:
PORK!
Comment by blest — August 1, 2007 @ 1:57 pm
Yes pork is probably the favourite for roast in our house. It has to have crunchy crackling usually achieved by rubbing in salt and oil. And I love to eat apple sauce with it but some of us don’t. We also eat pork chops or loin slices quite often as they are easy to cook quickly. Because I work every afternoon I miss being able to start dinner about 4pm.I usually come in about 6 pm now and I am hungry. David makes a good line in curry but he can’t cope with cooking every day. Still haven’t got into crock pot cooking yet much, but slowly will get there.
The next food is pears because I just unpacked some from my organic box.
Comment by Elly — August 1, 2007 @ 3:26 pm
I make a fabulous PEAR crumble that my family just loves. Next food is……..pizza
Comment by Kellie — August 1, 2007 @ 5:27 pm
A quick and easy pizza is to use a whole wheat tortilla and top however you pleasa! I like mine with pizza sauce (no sugar of course), mozzarella, a little parmesan, chopped peppers, onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms!
Aw MAN. And I’m so hungry right now!!! I’m going to bed. But I think I’ll have that for lunch tomorrow!
Next food… NUTS
Comment by blest — August 1, 2007 @ 9:08 pm
Nuts are great. Macadamias, cashews, almonds, pine nuts, lots of yummy nuts. Oh, and peanuts in peanut butter. Who could live in a world without peanut butter!
Nuts are great as snacks, or in things. My Dad makes a great cashew nut curry. We throw pine nuts on the top of a stir-fry to make it more interesting. Nuts are great
The next food is cabbage.
Comment by Elly — August 2, 2007 @ 5:37 am
That last commnet was actually me, but then we actually both thought of cabbage at the same moment, so I guess really it was a bit of a collaboration
