11 Foods Serious Eaters Should Be Eating

How about sardines pan seared with cinnamon dusted pumpkin seed/ pine nut crust, wilted chard with crispy pancetta, roasted cauliflower seasoned with tumeric and browned butter and a glass of pom/blueberry juice....maybe thinly sliced-grilled beets with vanilla scoop for dessert...? Perhaps a prune or two at 4 AM when the belly starts aching.

I just found this website not so long ago.
I find all of you so very refreshing and funny.
Doesn't appear to be a food snob amongst this group.
To Shnauzer_mom -- I'm with you with the vodka and pomegranate.

My humble opinion...we are works in progress and sometimes we digress.
The 11 are a good jumping off point.
Bon Sante!

Plain yogurt with active cultures + frozen blueberries + a drizzle of honey = mmmmmmmmm. A favorite dessert and a healthy snack that even my picky kids love. Try it!

@carosene,

you'll have better luck with turmeric if you use a small amount of it in a long cooked dish and add it at the beginning. the bitterness takes a while to cook out.

I love all of these foods, although I don't usually shell out the dough for pomegranate juice. I use turmeric in my homemade pickles. It adds pungency to these already fantastic garlic dills. As others have noted, the thing to remember about turmeric is a little goes a long way. Also, don't use plastic utensils with it unless you want to dye them yellow.
