There's entirely too much of that going on in the world (waste, I mean). If it was only me here, I'd live on peanut butter and eggs and cheese. Not every meal - or even most - need to be a fancy creation! And if a person is going to buy odd ingredients, that person needs to have a plan to use them up :) jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-33326471403850215182017-11-09T18:45:21.739+00:002017-11-09T18:45:21.739+00:00Depending on how old stuff is in the fridge, we li...Depending on how old stuff is in the fridge, we like to through it out.

I first tasted it in Florida, of course, and the place that makes it won't ship to New York, and they only make it in the cool months of the year because the plant gets too hot in Summer. I never thought of looking for it in England, but the next time I'm in the UK I will look for grapefruit marmalade at the supermarket and haul some jars of it home. <br /><br />I remember that, on my first trip to London in 1975, back when the UK had the worst cuisine in Europe, I went to the Safeway that used to be on the King's Road in Chelsea and discovered that English people had a taste for rhubarb yogurt, which was the weirdest cross-cultural challenge that I'd confronted in my 19 years of existence. I could not bring myself to taste it, and this was at a time when I was game for escargot and cervelle. Rhubarb yogurt just seemed too icky. I've been to a lot of Waitroses and Tescos and Sainsburys since then and I haven't seen rhubarb yogurt in ages. I wonder if it's gone out of style now that, gastronomically, the UK is a vastly different place.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990041745880166605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-24815132189287833652017-11-09T09:59:58.204+00:002017-11-09T09:59:58.204+00:00Your first paragraph made be vomit all over the ke...Your first paragraph made be vomit all over the keyboard of this laptop.
