						Why does everything "good" for you mostly taste like shitcken?
I bought some pomegegranate juice which is supposed to cure every thing on earth and christalmighty nothing tastes quite so.... er.... brackish?.... awful?..... horrid?....
And tofu.  Don't get me started.  I know, I know "It's delicious!" (if you spend 900 hours soaking it in something tasty).
And blahthisgrain and blahthatgrain.
Seriously:
Other than raw or cooked fruits and vegetables is there anything "healthy" that actually tastes like food?
Would Julia Child eat it?
If not, I don't want to hear about it.
Begin.
					
				 
				
						
														
					
												I think "oranges" fall into the tasty raw or cooked fruit and vegetable depatment.
But thank you!
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Okay.  I just went to check my "The Way to Cook" Cookbook and Julia, who live to be like 209 or something, suggests you FRY you hamburgers in BUTTER.
I think the reason for obesity is not that we eat hamburgers fried in butter but that we eat 100 pounds of tasteless health food without getting satisfied.
Debate.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Oh ****, sorry. I missed that part. Carry on.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												<wipes>
I'm eating oranges right now, so I can't help.
Don't start me on the evils of soy/tofu and American agribusiness.

Yeah, I know! It's so ridiculous to have to 
prepare a food for it to taste good!! 
*sigh*
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												mm, but the pomegranate juice - you know you don't drink it straight. right?
it needs another juice to make it good - or ginger ale - pom juice with ginger ale is yummy and good for your tummy
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Chicken soup! chicken soup is good for you and tastes good!
~~~~
and everyone knows burgers fried in butter are the best.  mrs. hamburger's older sister once prepared them that way for me when I visited them in Germany - truly the tastiest - and somehow not as greasy as most North American burgers - maybe better beef to begin with?
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												I love straight pomegranate juice.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												You want me to post my life's recipes because you don't like pomegranite juice?
Pay me.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												hehe.  She's sneaky isn't she, Osso?
I just had to post here to BM.
Until Seth was 5 or 6, he would taste new foods enthusiastically and announce "MMM!  Tastes like chicken!"  Didn't matter if it was a vegetable, fruit or whatever.
Thanks for the reminder and smile.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												sauerkraut soup. pure vitamin C (and smoked ham and sausage mmmm) and prunes and mushroom and potatoes. Lotsa garlic, paprika, and voila. Sooooooooo gooooooood and so good for you.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												i also like Gimme Lean sausage (fake, it has no meat) and i just bake it on a sheet. i also prefer seitan to tofu.... but generally i don't buy either.... i don't like either of thm enough to be bothered.

If you hadda go thirty days without givin away a recipe, you'd go POP.... 
											 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												RH, you just made me spew a piece of popcorn at the screen.
You owe me.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Spits.... 
while agreeing. 
Mostly.
But not always.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												30 days
I'd almost put $ on it, or maybe a plane ticket  
											 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												No contest, I simply can't be quiet for 30 days.
Weep, tosses the onions awry.
											
					
				 
																
						
														
					
												Ok, I have to laugh now..... 
  
 
When you find that healthy food that tastes great share your bounty of knowledge with moi'.......I think I may have clogged someone's arteries tonight with supper.
