Whatcha Eatin?

Pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast.
Oho! Maple syrup!:eek::D I've never tried it.:oops: I've seen it only once, but i was not ready to pay for such a questionable pleasure. To be honest, i can't imagine a food that i would want to eat with maple syrup. I know that it's a super popular food (condiment?) in the US.:iiam: Is it even edible?:ignore: What does it taste like in your opinion? And what food do you eat with this thing (besides pancakes)?:???:

Maple syrup is used a sweetener, it has a very distintive taste, I think brown sugar comes closest. There are many cheap imitation maple syrups sold, with corn syrup bases. The real thing is quite pricey! I had a jug in my freezer for about two years :p. It lasts if frozen!

I remember my mom making “syrup” with brown sugar when we ran out of the store bought syrup. I never used real maple syrup until a few years ago. I was so used to the supermarket kind that I never liked the real thing lol. Now I love it.

Maple syrup has a lovely, delicate flavor. I eat it with pancakes and French toast.

it is really nice as a sweetener in various desserts, but I no longer use it for that, because of the expense.
 
Really good watermelon. I'm really happy! Hadn't had much luck with melons :rolleyes:
Melons are so hit or miss. It takes just the right weather to produce really good melons.

Tomatoes are also much tastier some years than others.
 
I tried the Beyond burger today, hmm, I wasn't overly impressed. It didn't taste like meat as I remembered it. It didn't taste like any other plant based burger I have tried before either. I did cook it in the oven so maybe it is better grilled and maybe sprayed with some olive oil beforehand.

It wasn't bad at all, it just wasn't what I expected.o_O

Spicy mixed bean casserole with brown rice and a glass of tropical fruit juice followed by almond torte to celebrate becoming a swedish citizen.

Congrats!:)

I haven't tried baking it. I fried it with no oil in a cast-iron pan. It has a little juice/fat in it, so it fries up nicely and doesn't stick.

Yes, maybe I should cook it that way next, there were two in the pack. I deliberately ate it without any mustard or anything on it to notice the flavour more. I will eat it normally next time. :D

I did like the No Bull burger that Iceland do although I can't remember how it tasted different to the Beyond burger, I will have to try it again.

I'm about to have a smoothie, spinach, banana and strawberries.
