Food

[lenquixote66]

Is there a food that you loved as a child but now would ever eat and a food you hated as a child but now love ?

I loved lamb chops,pickled tongue ,herring and lox when I was young but would never eat them now.I hated salmon but now love salmon croquettes.

Until my mid 20s, I would avoid raw tomato. Then I got a free packet of seeds with a magazine and decided to grow them. Picked straight from the vine, I thought they were fine. Since then, I don't avoid them but still am not that keen. So, if they are in a salad, I'll eat them but I generally wouldnt add them if I was making the salad.

Me neither. And I quite like some blue cheeses. Presumably you have to be careful when you're making it, so the flavour doesnt overpower the salad.

Correct

So, do I understand from that post and your earlier one that, although you've never had the dressing, you're very familiar with how its made?  I don't think  I could make any dressing without tasting it.

Funny you said that.  Guess what I made about an hour ago?  Yup…homemade blue cheese dressing.  I just got a new block of blue cheese yesterday and it was crumbly.  So out came the leftover sour cream, mayo, Worcestershire, Louisiana hot sauce, salt and pepper with a touch of white vinegar…just perfect.  Of course it will have to sit in the fridge overnight before it gets really good.

It all sounds good except the hot sauce. I don't do spicey food much and so I would omit that from the recipe. But all the other stuff, yummy😃

Just a dribble of hot sauce and Louisiana Hot Sauce is much milder than say Siracha.  It has more of a tangy flavor…much better than Tobasco. Sometimes it is a bit too spicy so I have to water it down with white vinegar to get the right taste.

Good morning, I don't even keep tobacco in the house.

Asparagus- my mom always had the thick stringy asparagus, i didnt like it. Then about 15 years ago i went to a birthday dinner and they served white grilled asparagus- it was delicious! I started there and graduated to the thin green asparagus and i love it, still dont care for the thick green asparagus.

I love Grilled or Roasted Asp. with a light coat of EVOO & Sea Salt

[Harters]

I love asparagus (preferably the thick green stalks) but only have it when it's in season here. We're coming to the end of the season now - only another week or so. Usually steamed or boiled in the house - dressed simply with melted butter, or hollandaise, as a starter. I do like it cold, wrapped in Serrano ham or anything similar.

And neither do I…LOL.  Looks like auto spell got you.🤭  Seriously, I haven’t used Tobasco Sauce in thirty years…ever since I discovered Louisiana Hot Sauce.

I also love grilled asparagus as above.  When I want to do it fast I cut the bundle of stalks, spread them out in a bowl, give them a quick rinse and then zap them in the microwave for five minutes.  Then they get sautéed, in butter, pepper with garlic salt and EVOO with a few shakes of grated Romano, cooked until tender.
