Do You Have a Hard Time Eating Animal-Shaped Foods?
There are vegans and vegetarians, and then there's a subgroup (likely very small) of people who aren't necessarily either, but get freaked out by eating foods shaped like animals. This topic came up after yesterday's poll, where we asked you to name what part of the chocolate Easter bunny you usually bite into first. But for some people, the shapes bring back too many memories of stuffed animals or pets. Eat something that resembles Fluffy?!Why Peanut Butter and Crackers Are a Beautiful Thing
Crackers and peanut butter. If there were ever two foods made for each other, it's these two. Crackers—so light and crispy, the perfect platform for a dollop of rich, creamy peanut butter; a savory and sweet counterpoint to the cracker's relatively dry existence. Perhaps the most famous peanut butter and cracker combination is one of the most unusual: Lance's venerable Toast-Chee.Do You Hate Popcorn?
The smell. The taste. The texture. In how many ways does popcorn disgust you?Poll: Best Football-Watching Snack Food
[Photographs: Robyn Lee] Even if you're not getting all riled up for the AFC and NFC playoff games this weekend, odds are you would watch them if cold beer, nachos, and buffalo wings were nearby. But if you had to pick just one favorite grazing food, what would it be? This poll should come in handy for future Super Bowl party menu planners....How to Make Homemade Fruit Rolls
[Photograph: Green Kitchen Stories] Growing up, my mom never let me eat Fruit Roll-Ups, but she'd sometimes buy me the less artificial fruit leather from the health food store. David and Luise of Stockholm-based food blog Green Kitchen Stories seem to have the same idea as my mom, except they decided to make fruit rolls at home. Although not a fast process, it's easy: purée fruit, pour into a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and bake at 140°F (or as low as your oven can go) for 5 to 8 hours. If you plan on drying fruit frequently, you could invest in a dehydrator....Taste Test: Spicy Chips
Between the abundance of college football bowls and NFL games on television right now, who doesn't want to dive into a bag of tasty chips while watching? And what could heighten the salty perfection of chips better than a dash of spice.What's Inside a Slim Jim?
In case you were wondering what you're ingesting when bite into a Slim Jim, Wired explains the meat stick's ingredients. It's a glorious combination of beef, mechanically separated chicken, corn and wheat proteins, one-sixth of your daily sodium needs, and so much more. Mmm!...Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 79: What's Your Favorite Seasonal Snack?
"I have been feasting with impunity on fruits that are being grown responsibly 3,000 miles from my home." When you're a serious eater and a serious dieter you look for treats or snacks that you can eat with impunity at different times of the year. Yes, all you Michael Pollan and Alice Waters acolytes, I am talking about seasonal snacks that I can eat without worrying about my weight. Bananas have become a staple of my serious diet, but they are neither local nor seasonal unless you happen to live in a sub-tropical area. (I did have some killer baby bananas in Vieques, Puerto Rico, last December that tasted like they had been crossed with limes--banimas or limnanas, anyone?) Summer...Cukes and Gochujang: Perfect Summer Snack
Growing up, there were tons of cucumbers growing in my mom's garden during the summer, so we never really bought them at the supermarket. Given these fortuitous circumstances, I was always a bit confused about the difference between the ones growing in the backyard and the ones at the store. Whereas the store's specimens were smooth and shiny, the ones I brought to the kitchen sink were rough and a bit prickly. I was going to chalk them up as some sort of weird variety of Korean cucumbers, but I did some research and realized that I'd been eating the pickling variety of cucumbers this whole time. Every cuke and pickle I've ever eaten flashed before my eyes as...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
