What do you cook or eat that seems unusual?

Question

We do eat some things that seem a little out of the mainstream, but are really good. Like buffalo meat--low cholesterol, lean, and really better flavor than beef. And you cook it just like beef, only the steaks need to be more rare because it will get tough if it is cooked too long. I had a roast that needed to be cooked because the food in the freezer thawed when our power was off--and it made the best pot roast you could ever eat! And ground buffalo makes the very best chili.

We also eat things like miso soup and tahini, and I have learned to cook vegan for my daughter and her family. Any body else have any non-mainstream foods in their diet?

I am surprised that more people don't know about chili-mac, it was a staple with my family for years!

I knew a German girl who ate her popcorn with sugar and milk like a cereal, apparently it is a German dish.

never eaten calf fries tho my dad used to, Do like turkey fries, however!

stuffed mushrooms w/cream cheese, topped with cheddar and chives, and broiled, love em!
Also portobellos, grilled in butter and eaten just like hamburgers.

Answer 1

Good, fresh bison makes lovely burgers - extremely tender. I like to serve this with breakfast: stir fried kale with a little red onion; add red wine vinegar and a tiny bit of sugar. Serve this with "Eggs Erroneous" - fry eggs sunny side up or over light; serve with cheese grits and black beans with some tomatillo salsa, maybe a dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheddar. I make a nice chocolate pie by melting chocolate chips, stir in silken tofu, spoon into a chocolate cookie or graham cracker crust; top with a bit of whipped cream and fresh raspberries. I have served dinner for a lot of vegetarian and vegan friends; it has helped me expand my "repertoire" of recipes, and I've discovered a lot of delicious, healthy recipes along the way.

Then, I add a can of white(whatever you prefer) chicken chunks(drained) unless I have leftover chicken at home.I can eat this hot or cold and it last me for several days like fixing a pot of chili.

Answer 7

Chicken Noodle soup sandwiches. I butter a slice of bread, heat up the soup, drain the juice out of the soup, then spoon the noodles on the bread, fold it in half and eat it. That's as weird as my diet gets.

Answer 9

I eat a lot of dried foods and cook them with maple syrup. Even my popcorn, I douse it with maple syrup and the best cake is Hickory Nuts and Maple Syrup.
This is our natural staple in North America and it is all sold out of the country. Just like our wheat. So, eat what grows around you.
Really good on dried Salmon and dried deer and elk.

Answer 10

Buffalo meat is the only kind of burger I have in my freezer! YUM! I also like knishes, and potato kugal! But the last two are a fattening treat. I don't indulge in these two very often!
