02 Porridge Poi
Poi is a traditional Hawaiian food, a nutritious, starchy dish made from the taro plant, prepared by smashing the cooked corm (underground plant stem) and adding water to it until it becomes a thick, sticky paste that is purple in color. It stimulates weight loss, lowers cholesterol, is a great source of vitamin B and calcium, and it has low fat and protein content.

I once worked with a guy from India.
He went home to visit and brought me back a surprise. He had me close my eyes and he gave me some kind of fruit to take a bite.
Well it turned out to be mango and I had not, in my then 40-something years of life, ever tasted a mango but I knew after that taste that this was an awful-tasting fruit.
I pretended to like it because he meant well.
But mangos should be made illegal.
I thought Chicken Ala King originated from that famous NY Restaurant Delmonicos from back in the late 1800s?
Perfect snack for any Islamic cult country or if you have members of Islamic cult in your office—they won’t be stealing you food. Work with Indians, bring beef dishes to work.
Ah, I disagree...
We ate chicken a la king a lot growing up, and I make chocolate-covered candied bacon for our annual Festivus party. I’ve also had ambrosia salad at family functions, and seen Luther burgers on menus. I’ve also had spaghetti pie at friends’ homes, and my mom makes a version of pork and beans using baked beans and either Spam or hot dogs (blech).
So...
No mention of its taste.
It stimulates weight loss, lowers cholesterol, is a great source of vitamin B and calcium, and it has low fat and protein content.... When poi was served at the table, the consumers were forbidden from arguing, as a symbol of respect to its sacredness.
Mangoes can be hugely bitter, but when mixed with heavy cream and lots of sugar, it makes fan-freaking-tastic ice cream. No sarcasm - it’s delicious, particularly from Indian and Mexican grocers.
First time I was exposed to mangos was in India with mango juice. They just taste like really bad versions of oranges and must be popular with people who have never had an orange.
"you vill eat bugz and like dem"
Fresh mango Pina Coladas in Bermuda. Excellent!
So they say, but maybe the Democrats carried New York the old-fashioned way, by ballot stuffing.
Grits!
You’d be surprised. 😏 We had interpreters who were part of our teams and accompanied us on our regular off-base meetings with local government officials. They were all Sunnis.
They never stole our food, but we took turns escorting them to the chow hall for breakfast in the mornings before leaving base. The first time it was my turn, I escorted our four interpreters in and they made a beeline for the bacon.
I rushed over to them and said, “Guys! That’s pork!”
Oh, we know,” they beamed at me, loading their plates. “And it is so good!”
Breaded egg plant fried on two slices of Italian bread. My favorite 10 o’clock snack working on the farm.
So do I. Have done so since I was a kid. Break in half, read the fortune, laugh at the fortune, eat the cookie.
Okay, I find this hilarious and I don't know why.
Lime green Jello with shredded carrots!
Sounds like some of that stuff would put my taste buds in a coma.
Mangos are good for chutney. That’s all I can think of. When we lived in Bangkok, we had mango trees. I never liked them much. Now, a mangosteen is to die for.
