Food Fetish Follies
Yesterday at the Farmers Market we were thrilled to find rainbow chard at one of the vendors' stalls. Which brought home once again how truly foreign NE Wisconsin is vittle-wise for a former Bay Area foodie. On the one hand, meat and dairy in the supermarkets here are much cheaper and of excellent quality. On the other hand, greens don't seem to exist: no chard, collards or mustard greens. No endive, radicchio or arugula. No fennel, watercress or Italian parsley. This is truly weird, plus it means we get no horta, which we used to eat all the time.
With this chard, now, I think I'd like to make beans-and-greens with the leaves and a gratin with the stalks. It'll be just like old times!
