Yep, swordfish has a pronounced flavor and a firm texture - which not everyone likes - but it is perfect for those who feel raw fish is too soft and bland. Fresh mackerel is enjoyable - personally one of my favorites. But after a few days, it begins to go 'off' and acquires a strong taste and odor. ...

I just ordered 10 lbs of fresh Black Manzanilla olives from GreatOlives.com. They are considered 'field run' and will be of assorted sizes. Nov. 11 (today) is the last day of their 2007 season. According to my research, ripe (black) olives can be cured in the following ways: -Dry salt-curing -Brine ...

Anyone ever experience slightly salty tuna or salmon sashimi when eating at a sushi place? I got some salmon and tuna to-go the other night, and I noticed right away that it tasted salty, especially the salmon. I was able to compare it with some fresh amberjack, the salmon and tuna were definitely s...

Buy a box of rock candy. Pure sugar. No one would suspect a thing.

Update everyone, I recently visited a local Italian market/specialty shop that I've heard good things about. Wow. If I had never heard about Wai, I'd probably shop there at least once everyday. Unbelievable amounts of interesting and freshly made foods, so many specialty foods, it really would have ...

It's not uncommon for one to underestimate how much one actually eat.

I suggest keeping better track of exactly what you eat and exactly how much of it.

That was a good laugh.

Yes, I'll keep my sugar.

If you try to crack the brazil nuts while they are still frozen, it is much easier. The shell will shatter, but the nut inside will remain solid and in one piece.

Good question, though I am not sure. Probably will get the common answer: Negligible effect if you are not susceptible to acne.

Actually, if anyone can figure out how to get this sent overseas, let us know.
