I'm sick of the old beer, nachos and chips routine myself for S Bowl Sunday... these recipes sound fantastic. I'm trying a dip that my mother sent me from the Hartford Courant yesterday -- I'm planning to serve it with veggies for something a little lighter:

If your taste for peanuts runs toward more exotic flavors, the makers of San-J Thai peanut sauce have developed an unusual dip. In this recipe, tofu takes the place of higher fat sour cream or mayonnaise. In a bowl or blender, combine 1 pound soft tofu, 10 ounces Thai peanut sauce, 2 diced scallions, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 5 tablespoons tamari soy sauce. Blend until smooth, and serve with chips, crackers or veggies.

Salted Caramel

I was unaware of this trend but it seems as though it has hit ice cream and if you love salted caramel, start looking for it as an ice cream flavor, which Chow just wrote up.

I live in San Fran and one new, super trendy -- in the best sense-- ice cream place (Bi-Rite Creamery) features it. People are talking about it! It takes me back to Cracker Jacks, a childhood fav of mine.

The only prob with the ice cream is that it gets soft -- due to the salt and how that plays with temperature? I recommend it though. You can also make this kind of ice cream at home but try it with Tamari a friend told me. I don't have time for that... but maybe you do!

Thank you Thank you Thank You,Just joined Food Network, looking for a meatball recipe because I didn't want to get frozen ones. Found a good one from Barefoot Contessa, but I'm going to make them BBQed instead of traditional pasta and sauce.Superbowl is now a holiday, go Patriots for a world record, but we love the underdog, shake it up NYG's.

Salted Caramel

Yep, you're jaded ;-)

For those of us out here in the hinterlands, salted caramels are just a delicious treat that occasionally show up at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, at which point we buy several packages and eat them with lip-smacking relish.

Of course, I like tuna tartare too.

I wasn't aware that they were a trend. I love them, having discovered them on a french food site I occasionally order from. I've given them to several people, who were unaware salted caramel existed and for the most part, they've enjoyed it also. I live in NYC, so I'm trying to figure out how I managed to miss the whole trend thing.

Why does it have to be labeled a trend? Are you so tired of sushi? Or good hamburgers? Salted caramel is yummy, like salted chocolate, and I for one, hope that it sticks.

I'm still a fan. There are plenty of other trends that I'm waiting to fizzle out, though, so don't worry...

Salted Caramel

Snob alert! Just kidding. I know what you mean--I totally feel the same way when I see a "tuna tartare" show up on a menu and think that that was *so* yesterday. Salted caramels, however, doesn't really toot my horn as I think they're truly delectable! If ever in Paris, the salted caramels at George V at the Four Seasons are to die for, people.
