Message #1350 of 2744  *NEW* To From Subject Date All BBlast Food Value 12/21/04, 10:04am Ok, here is a question that has multiple answers.... What to you, is the BEST "food value" food that you can think of? Meaning, for the dollar spent, the amount of food that you get/how tasty is it/how filling/how nutritious is it? We can certainly learn from the poorer people of the world that don't have the resources for anything they want, so those people have to look for the "best" they can get for the money..well, we too can learn from such folk..afterall, everybody eats.

Well, mac & cheese and ramen have always been known for being popular among poor college students who can't afford much else. I'd think couscous would be right up there, too. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1354 • Back to Topics

Amazing how tastes are so different. It certainly has a lot to do ith how you grow up. My Dad, being a Brit... well, I was exposed to a lot of Cadbury... and, therefore, I LOVE IT. On my mother's end of the food spectrum, she introduced me to a concoction called "Halvah." I am sure Larry is familiar, as it is a Jewish staple in much the same way a Challah or Maneschevitz wine (sp). Halvah is a weird sesame-seed-based food. Soft texture... impossible to accurately describe. Get the chocolate covered version and, to me, (with an iced cold glass of milk) -- pure heaven. Marie, on the other hand, thinks that Halvah tastes like an old shoe. By the way, Larry... if you do know what I'm talking about (and I suspect you do), do you call it "Hal-UH-vah" like my family does? Where did that UH come from? -------------------------------------------------------- "Treat the Earth not as if it was given to you by your parents, but as if it was lent to you by your children." - Kenyan Proverb "The power of accurate observation is often called cynicism by those that do not have it." - George Bernard Shaw -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1366 • Back to Topics
