11 Best Foods You Aren't Eating

Monday June 30, 2008

Categories: Food

A list from the New York Times. How many of these are you actually eating? Beets, cabbage and Swiss chard are all among my favorite things to eat. Sardines, not so much.

Anybody want to talk about a food most people don't care for, but that you love? I think beets are probably No. 1 on my list. But I like them roasted like you'd roast a potato, and with nothing more than sea salt and pepper.

Cephalopods are my totem animal. Thus I turn in horror from the thought of anyone eating them. Octopods may well be as intelligent as cats or dogs . . . just because they're not furry and cuddly is no reason to eat them! Vengeance is mine, says Cthulu!!

I eat sauerkraut religiously. Gosh, is it good. Kimchi too, when I have occasion.

Pumpkin, soy milk and cinnamon smoothies for breakfast. Yummy and you get two out of the 11.

Try the delicious cold beet soup in Why French Women don't get Fat (p. 125)

Brussells Sprouts, cut lengthwise and blanched. Sautee with bacon until the sprouts carmelize, toss with sliced almonds and deglaze with amaretto. Eat. Thank Lord.
