Recently Acquired Food Favourites

Peppers - for years I thought I hated peppers, then we changed our cooking habits and started making recipes that include lots of peppers, so I tried them and realise I actually quite like them when cooked. I now buy 6 a week.

Also fresh Ginger - we now use it in several dishes every week.

Red peppers I eat them raw like apples lemons and limes grapefruit and passion fruit and beetroot. I never like cooked parsnips now I roast them just to eat on their own.

Teriyaki sauce. Creme fraiche. Sesame seeds. Wraps.

Between the first and second lockdowns when we were urged to 'eat out to help out' - seems ages ago, I went out for a pub lunch and had Eton Mess for pudding which was heavenly.

I've also discovered Camembert (covered with breadcrumbs?) which you bake in the oven - lovely.

Greek yogurt.
Asparagus.
Avocado.

Frozen cherries.
Aubergine pesto.
Halloumi.

Olives
Halloumi
Pistachio nuts

I also buy peppers every week, I invariably find a use for them and fresh ginger, adds a certain special something, it's such a distinct flavour.

Blue cheese and mushrooms. Can’t have too many mushrooms. Also realised how important celery is in so many recipes. Oh and jelly. I’m really into jelly at the moment, especially after seeing the recipe on here for orange jelly with carrot. Very refreshing.

Smoked salmon.

Spinach
Frozen summer fruits (on my porridge, with honey & yogurt)

Merveilles. A Swiss carnival pastry. I thought they looked boring and bland and never ate them. Until someone brought some into work. Yum!

Border biscuits
Oreo custard creams
Full fat milk
Ovaltine hot chocolate
M&S strawberry and clotted cream pies
Rice pudding

Fattening up poorly DH. I'm sure that you can imagine the inevitable side effects...

Quinoa........ only joking?.

Dairylea dunkers..... fabulous....?‍♀️

Not new to me but I love toasted onion bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese

I always thought potatoes and cheese were boring until my 21 year old self in Interlaken and was introduced to a Swiss Fondue, well yum! yum! it went down a treat, helped along with some Schnapps, another first!

Gago Jo Eau de Merveilles is one of my favourite perfumes, I'd never have associated it with pastries, you live and learn They look nice though them there pastries!
