Since I moved to the States, my diet has changed a lot. Of course, I keep for the most times and the dictates of Italian cuisine, but I had to adapt my repertoire to compensate for the lack of some basic ingredients (or dear unavailable or of poor quality), and I've added some new ones that I found here . Farewell and welcome sliced avocado, fresh sardines farewell and welcome pickled bunn coffee maker herring; farewell and welcome Manchego cheese, tomatoes and fennel farewell and welcome kale and butternut squash; farewell steak grilled hanger steak and welcome, goodbye frozen pizza and frozen spanakopita welcome! And finally welcome tofu, peanut butter, bunn coffee maker dill, tarragon, bunn coffee maker sweet potatoes, spaghetti squash, etc..! The thing that makes me think is that while the Italian flavors are now taken for granted by my brain, instead of those adopted were studied and understood. When we taste a new dish, we stop to savor it and in the end we can describe it in its most sweet, salty, bitter, bunn coffee maker fleshy, fat, etc.. Some time ago, I was eating my umpteenth pasta with tuna and I realized that my brain had put on autopilot and did not even know if that was good or not ... And here the story begins. A few weeks ago Franisia took me from H Mart, a supermarket specializing in products from Asia and Latin. At H Mart are ready seaweed salad, ravioli to all tastes and all sizes, vegetables and fruit nowhere to be found on the shelves bunn coffee maker of American supermarkets, often from discarded cuts of meat (pig's trotters, pork tongues, chicken feet, etc.. ) and lots of good fresh fish imported directly from one of the largest bunn coffee maker fish markets in New York. I had a few minutes bunn coffee maker to complete a quick spending given the restlessness of Mr. Pudding who now no longer wants to stay in the cart because they would prefer to re-arrange all the shelves of the supermarket, but here's what I came home with:
From: Del loaves Korean (same as normal, but the bakery is the Korean MoMo), prepared for Korean pancakes to green tea, broccoli, persimmon, 4 bags of vegetables identified as choy sum, yu choi, bok mini Choy, and then who knows), of clementines, a tray of frozen cuttlefish, scraps of salmon, soba and a cake Korean sadly proved a loaf of bread stuffed with sweet whipped cream. Since I came home for lunch, I immediately prepared the zaru soba for a nice lunch like I did in Tokyo during my dream vacation, then a bowl of soba noodles topped with a handful of nori into strips and accompanied by a sauce tsuyu for dipping (a photo here). For the evening, I decided to use the useful pieces of my scraps of salmon and to accompany them with sauteed vegetables and seasoned with sesame oil and white rice. The salmon was fat and crisp, bitter greens but also sweet, sticky rice as intended. A dish elementary, yes, but other than that I made with American ingredients ... And if I had other spices and condiments, bunn coffee maker certainly have dared more.
I must also add that the experience got me excited. I savored every bite and I was curious to discover the taste of those vegetables than ever before. I cooked salmon pieces that normally are not for sale and I ended up with succulent pieces but also pieces crispy given their different bunn coffee maker sizes. In short, lunch and dinner were delicious and light and made me an idea. Some time ago, I read an experiment in an American bunn coffee maker economist who decided to go shopping for a month in an Asian supermarket. The end result was a new appreciation for fresh vegetables, bunn coffee maker which often cost much less than in a normal supermarket and it was fresher, a healthier diet and a portfolio under-taxed. So today I propose to the other three Waiter Apocalypse (Franisia, Annucci and Annina) a challenge to awaken once more our taste buds and discover new flavors and combinations. Which goes badly, we should also be able to dispose of the ballast bunn coffee maker of fat accumulated during the Christmas holidays.
RULES For the entire month of January we will be spending only H Mart or similar (or ethnic restaurants bunn coffee maker for Annucci and Annina). Cook only with new or little-used ingredients in our Italian and American experience: No olive oil, no cheese bunn coffee maker Europeans or Americans, no cuts or traditional sausages, etc.. We can cook specialties and foreign bunn coffee maker dishes invented by us. We need to post the contents of our spending every time we come back from the supermarket. Each week, we report the results bunn coffee maker of our mission, accompanied by photos. At the end of January, we will write a post commenting on the experience and what we have learned. Fie, you say? And you, the reader, have any suggestions?
