most under-rated food + condiment

[Dude!]

food: rhubarb - when cooked with a ton of sugar it is sublime
i don't know why no one makes rhubarb pie any more

condiment: horseradish - the forgotten 'hot' condiment
delicious when mixed with any number of foods
i like it mixed with whipped cream as a sauce for roast beef
and i mix it into plain yogurt or cottage cheese
for a snappy and delicious lo-cal lunch

any others?

Don't know about that. I can't grow shit in my yard (well, maybe its more about I don't try vs. can't but none the less the back 40 is pretty sparse) but I have a rhubarb plant that grows like a frickin' weed. I hack it to bits a couple of times every summer and will make a few pies and just stew the rest without sugar. The unsweetened goop makes a great base for chutney and marinades.

horseradish
Again, something else I eat a lot of. I don't grow it but my bother does and I get a few roots from him every fall. You're right that it is a great way to add a nice kick to something. Also perfect to make your own cocktail sauce and lather it on burgers! :p


As for others....lets see

Under-rated food I'd have to go with pickled eggs. They're tasty, good drunk food, easy to make and not that bad for you.

Under-rated condiment.....hmmm....lemon butter. Its good on toast, can use it in lots of different baking and good to add a sweet/tart taste to something savory.

Because it is technically a weed...can't stand it!

I like Peanut Butter on hot dogs.

My dad ate em' for years, and I thought it was sick. I tried one and it was fantastic.

I can't find anyone else to try them now.

I can't find anyone else to try them now.Seeing as how it is basically Pb and Bacon..I'd try it.


Are pickles a condiment or food? cause I love Pickles and mayo sandwiches..More than cucumber sandwiches..which are basically the same thing but without all the flavor.

back in vermont, we'd put maple butter on rancid venison

so good, maple butter is the best

[PapaBear]

Rancid?

[TooLowBrow]

more spoiled than rancid. theyd marinade it in maple butter then bake it for a few mintues

the maple butter would melt in your mouth

[PapaBear]

And you don't die?

I haven't thought of horseradish in a long time. My first thought was simply relish. I had some on a hot dog at Coney Island last summer at the Mermaid Day parade in the 95 degree heat and it was the best!
