    I gotta try beets roasted, have only rocked pickled and enjoyed. I also have to look into how to make homemade sauerkraut, love that stuff but prefer homemade to the wine added varieties available in our local stores.

    Couple foods I love that might not be too commonplace:

    Salt Cod (bacalao) - My family hates it - I think from the smell of it cooking. I love it. Prosciutto of the sea! lol After soaking it overnight (with a couple changes of water) I enjoy it straight up poached in water as is, or poached then mixed with potatos and flour to make "salt cod cakes", or pureed (with other ingredients) to make a Brandade.

    Rutabaga - A root vegetable I like boiled and then mashed. Also like it mashed together with either potato, or carrot. I've read it was originally a mix between a cabbage and turnip. Here, in Canada though seems like the term rutabaga is rarely used, and people just call them turnip.

    Raisins :( my downfall , dried fruit!

    Dates - even better. For the bacon lover, Parmesan stuffed dates wrapped in bacon (easy peasy and delicious).
    Gotta go with the beets too - love 'em in a salad.

    Lots of good choices.

    Red onions. Raw. On salads, on sandwiches... almost on their own! Even the smell of them. Even the action of cutting them... mmmm red onions for dinner this evening!

    I love them too. Sliced, sprinkled with a tiny amount of sea salt and some red wine vinegar and left to macerate. Pink and tasty - one of my favourite ways to start and then dress a salad.
    Love them too! Hate that I taste them for hours after though!

    Parsnips are great roasted with just a bit of olive oil and some salt.....I slice them long wise and roast them on a cookie sheet with sliced beets. Just toss with some olive oil.....amazing. They're like candy!

    Also love almond butter and crunchy sliced apple on toast for breakfast.

    Snap peas are my 'go to' afternoon snack

    Asian pears and watermelon

    raspberries

    rhubarb/apple crisp for a dessert treat

    Steak and mushrooms too!

    I will treat myself to a steak 1-2 a month on the grill with sauteed mushrooms. Love a good steak and I will fit it into my calories for the day.

    I eat bacon every weekend. I love it crispy and I'm always surprised that it's only 50 calories a slice.
