067 - Eat Everything from 1001 Foods Book
Achieved?
Every entry in the book "1001 Foods - The Greatest Gastronomic Sensations on Earth" will have been eaten*
Why?
You may be realising that I love food a fair bit. A lot of my books relate to food, one way or another. I bought this book a few months back and absolutely adore it. It is, of course, only one persons opinion of the greatest food on earth, but it is a good starting point for me :-)
I have already eaten probably 50% of the content of this book, however, my aim is go back through it and eat everything again, but this time, eat the 'best' version of that food. Either, find the ultimate recipe for it or actually attempt to eat it in the country it is from. I am nothing if not steadfastly passionate about food. I will also attempt to photograph everything as I eat them.
* There will be items that I will not eat: anything that I believe is an endangered species will not be tried.
Progress
* Bagel "... if the dough is not boiled, it is not a true bagel."
* Chicken Fajita "... introduced to America in Houston in the 1970s."
* Chocolate Fondue "Everyone skewers a piece of fruit on their stick and dips it into the bubbling chocolate."
* Couscous "... the national dish of Morocco."
* Cream Cheese "The texture is soft but firm, not unlike a young goat cheese."
* Guacomole "The name of the dish... simply means 'avocado sauce'."
* Lox "Subjecting fresh fish to the pungent smoke rising from the embers of an almost extinguished wood fire..."
* Macaroni and Cheese "The dish migrated from Italy to the court of King Richard II in the 14th century..."
* Marshmallows "... originally thickened with the root of the pink-flowered plant known as marsh mallow..."
* Salsa "... dressing or dip that is made from roughly chopped... fresh vegetables, classically tomatoes."
* Souvlaki "...Greek restaurants around the world owe their survival to its popularity."
* Strawberries "...cut into a ripe strawberry... the tantilizing scent of the fresh fruit."
* Tabbouleh "What makes this refreshing salad so unique? It's all about the herbs."
* Tzatziki "... a cooling side dish to go alongside spicier or richer fare..."
