Food for thought

Eeew, top of my list is yerba matte (hubby loves it, yuck), I'll also pass on capers (what are they?) and olives. I have to pick raisins out of everything ( I do keep trying it in trail mix, but always have to spit it out).

Spazz - feel free to pass me any of that cake you don't like...I love cake!!!!! Oh, all I can think about is cake right now. Yummmmm.

OK what is yerba matte?

Capers: a small berry usually pickled. Adds a peppery taste to food. It's delicious in dishes using butter and lemons. My favorite (and I make it often) is Chicken with Lemon/caper/butter sauce. Mmmmmm good! Also like them in my salads.

Its amazing to me that so many people don't like green peppers, and most fruit and vegetables for that matter. I love all fruit (although bananas and mango are not faves) and all vegies, including gross ones like okra and especially love artichokes. Just not a fan of some meats but I think its the way my mother prepared them when I was a kid. She cooked everything to death. Like Spazz, I now love and will only eat steak rare. I haven't eaten or been offered lamb since I was a kid and I don't go out looking for it. Liver, well there is just no reason to eat liver.

Tend to stay away from some ethics foods but only becuase of the use of garlic but love Japanese, Mexican, Greek, Persian, Indian, Thai and Chnese. Just need to find someplace that will prepare dishes without garlic.
