What Unusual Concoctions Do You Enjoy?

My FIL makes fried okra in cornmeal. It's not mushy or gooey like canned or steamed okra. I'm pretty sure he uses frozen. It's of the main things I look forward to at the holidays. That and my MIL's potato salad...

Hmm.... I've got some recipes to get.

Another one I thought of that my dad and his family used to do all the time was canned asparagus with mayo. My husband brought home a can of asparagus yesterday, having never had canned asparagus, and I made another convert out of him. :lol:

I just remembered something else I used to put on mashed potatoes - mustard! It's really not bad, although I don't do it too often anymore.

Okay - a concoction I can not have anymore.

Spinach with A1 sauce. It is AWESOME. But A1 is gluten. So no more.

I had this on hand, ironically:

Fake A-1

1/2 c. each: OJ and raisins

1/4 c. each: soy sauce and vinegar

2 tbsp. each: dijon, ketchup, chili sauce

1 tbsp. grated orange peel

Bring all to a boil, then boil and stir for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, let it cool. Put in blender 'til smooth. Stays 3 months in fridge. I've yet to try it, but it sounds easy and tasty enough!

I am one of those people. :D I really don't know what okra is. I'm from a place where we think it's weird when people don't understand fish tacos :D:lol:

Well, there ya have it...I've not heard of fish tacos before. What kind of fish do you use? Is it like a beef taco with fish. I bet it would be really good with a side of fried okra

:D:lol::rolleyes::lol::D

Wait, I thought A-1 was okay. What makes it not okay?

A1- does it have soy sauce in it? That might be the culprit.

Fried okra! Yummmmm!

I think my favorite thing of all time isn't that weird but some people thought so. It's Ben and Jerry's chubby hubby- vanilla ice cream with chocolate covered, peanut butter filled pretzels and fudge and peanut butter swirls. 26 g of fat per serving. YUMMMM! hershey's is actually coming out with a candy bar called Take Five that is essentially the candy bar version of Chubby Hubby. It's the best.

Actually- I'm thinking about making my own version. Hhaagen Daaz vanilla ice cream, Glutino gluten free pretzels, some fudge and peanut butter. I'll let you know how it goes if I do. Drooling!

:D:lol::rolleyes::lol::D

LOL. Fish tacos aren't like your typical ground beef taco. They are much better :) It's usually something like grilled mahi mahi, or a beer battered fish (if you're a non-celiac eating at a place called Rubios). The fish is in a corn tortilla with stuff like shredded cabbage, fresh salsa, sometimes avocado. mmmm. add some fried okra and you'd have a pretty interesting culinary blend :lol:

A1 in the US is made by Kraft--read the label, no gluten on the label means no gluten in the product. My bottle at home is gluten-free. Ate it last night...

Thanks Jen! I almost panicked when I read the comment about A-1. I couldn't figure out how I had missed gluten on the label - guess I hadn't!

I don't know why I let you people draw out this kind of information!!?

mashed potatoes wrapped in lettuce

slice of ham wrapped around a dill pickle, chopped raw onions

pancakes with butter, sprinkle with sugar, roll it and it's a sugar baby

put peanut butter on a plate sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuke for a few seconds, till it's melted and gooey

I'm part Finnish, never had the lutefisk, but I have had smoked or canned fish more times than I can remember.

I once had potato chip cookies ( sounds really sick right?) They were made with Ruffles potato chips, from a recipe on the bag from the 60's (so I was told) They were the best cookie I ever had! If anyone has that recipe let me know. I will figure out how to convert it to gluten free.

Hey Mango04, that fish taco sounds really good. What else do I need to know if I want to make some? Yummmmmm!

Mommida, mashed potatoes wrapped in lettuce??? What a peculiar combination of texture. Seriously, how do you keep the mashed potatoes from squishing out when you bite into the lettuce. I mean lettuce takes a little force to bite through and mashed potatoes are so....mashed.

I have loved reading through these responses! LOL... and we've wondered at our digestive issues ;)

Cornbread with chopped bacon and shredded cheese added to batter or crushed pineapple added to batter. Put in muffin tins and eat for breakfast with coffee.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
