Random food notes

[celticdragonfly]

There's various things I keep meaning to post about but never seem to have time. One is how my tastes in food are changing.

Firstly, salmon. My father's loved it as long as I could remember. It used to be something I'd tolerate a bite or two of now and then. Now - I've discovered I LOVE it. Grilled salmon, done with some nice herb or pepper crusting? Oh. Oh so good. Or with that orange sauce - remoulade? MMMMMM. Every time I have salmon I think about Dad.

The other is that I'm starting to have a lot more Mexican food. Not all of it. I'm really discovering that it's not peppers in general that have stopped me - it's that I acutely dislike the scent/taste of jalapenos. So if I can avoid them, I do okay. And I dunno why, but I have developed quite a taste for guacamole. I'm surprised by this - but enjoying it.

Our bodies change as time passes. The omega-3 oils in salmon probably beckon to you now, and that's a good thing.

I like salmon salad, like tuna salad only salmon. It's nearly just as easy, but I do like to pick the major bones out first. :-P

Real Mexican food makes little to no use of jalapenos. For that matter, it makes little use of most of the condiments people think of here: grated Cheddar, sour cream, tomato-based salsas, etc. A taco ought to be just barbecued meat on a hot tortilla with the optional condiments being chopped onion and cilantro!

Guacamole is delicious! Though too much onion in it is kind of meh. Yeah, I hate jalapenos, too, but like most other Tex-Mex. Well, not the meat, of course. O:>
