Mystery Food ???

Flint · 11-12-2006, 08:35 PM

Weird foods that you have in your house, and you don't know why. Presumably somebody brought it over at some point. Like this box of Twinkies in my cabinet. WTF? I'm eating one right now. It's okay. I know for sure I will never purchase Twinkies, and probably will never consume another one for the rest of my life, once this box is gone, of course. >>>>>>> I just can't imagine how a box of Twinkies got in here to begin with.

My sister sent me a huge jar of marinated artichoke hearts. ...and I mean hey-uge! at 65oz or 1.85kg! WHAT am I going to do with all of those?

I have a recipe for a cold rice-a-roni salad with artichoke hearts...but I don't want to eat it for months on end...

An unopened package of "dried fruit bits." I think I bought this at some point while I was pregnant. I don't like dried fruit, so who knows what I was thinking.

At least half a dozen boxes of Jello, both gelatin and pudding. We have never, to my knowledge, made a single box.

Seaweed for making sushi. I don't know why my husband thought we'd ever be making sushi at home. That's what restaurants are for.

2 bags of Polenta (I think its like your corn meal?) - I had good intentions of making corn bread, but failed dismally and cant be arsed now.

1 bag of sago - I love Lemon Sago steamed puddings, havent been arsed to making one though

Leithicin Meal - *apparently* its a great way to give your immune system a boost, you can slip some into cakes/muffins etc. That is IF you remember you have it.

Semi Dried Cranberries - I have no frikken clue!!

Pollenta is really nice bbq'd and then put on a burger.

An easy way to cook sago is with coconut cream and a can of apricot halves. Just add a bit of water to begin with, then top up with milk. Slow simmer till the sago is the right consitancy (creamy and smooth like rice pudding) Then serve it with a little fresh cream on the top, or maybe just a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg...or icecream...or...hmmm...almost any way you want it.

I have a can of cocktail frankfurts in my pantry. They're from when Dazza and I moved in together. I'll never eath them. I consider them the devils food, but he likes them.

My wife makes a very imaginative vegetarian lasagna with sheets of polenta serving as the pasta.

Aliantha · 11-12-2006, 09:54 PM

that sure would be an interesting lasagne. Why doesn't she use pasta though?

Just to do something different, I guess. She's a food alchemist.

Aliantha · 11-12-2006, 09:59 PM
