What food discoveries have you made recently?
It can be good or bad. :-)

I had a spam fritter plus picked egg with my fish and chips.

I love pickled eggs. And mushy peas. Also pineapple fritters, but they can be very greasy.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Grey farters and bacon are to die for, as well.

I can't stop eating pickled eggs. Going through so many jars I'm worried the recycling won't be able to keep up Tongue

Mushy peas are great too.

Love spam fritters, but not tried pineapple! Big Grin Sounds interesting.

I combined the both by putting together good flatbread sammiches: chilled, grilled chicken, spinach and basil leaves, a little red onion, gouda or feta or sharp cheddar cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers sliced thin, all on naan bread smeared with homemade tzatziki. Not so much a discovery as it is a reworking of a Greek meal, but it sure is good, light, and good for you.

Right now I'm prepping an omelet by dicing mushrooms, green pepper, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and a little leftover chicken I've got.

This Greek marinade for chicken is amazing, and goes great with tzeziki sauce and is healthy.

Combine:

-2 teaspoons minced garlic
-Juice of 1 lemon (2-3 Tablespoons)
-2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
-2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-2 heaping Tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
-1 Tablespoon dried oregano
-Salt and pepper to taste

Let up to 2lbs Chicken marinade in this mix for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours before tossing on the grill.

That sounds great -- I'm certainly gonna give that a whirl, thanks for the tip.

Refrigerator pickles. (might be a regional anomaly)

A sweet version. Ingredients are cukes, onions, celery seed, mustard seed, turmeric, sugar, vinegar and salt. And they take a week to cure in the fridge.

That sweet version is what regionally we call bread and butter. They are easy and mostly successful. There is a zesty version with red pepper flakes that is my favorite. Good pickling!

Special thanks for the kudos, Thump. I saw it in my list and didn't recall the thread. I clicked on it, saw my reply, and was reminded how devastatingly witty I am. Not to mention humble.
