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!

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.

I always to canned asparagus with mayo and graded boiled egg on top... great for a summer meal.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      Probiotics

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
