    I agree, I also like it sweet! I love to have it with sugar free syrup, cinnamon and truvia. I also like to have it topped with drizzled almond butter and syrup!

    Stinging nettle is a great alternative to spinach but I've never even seen it outside of farmer's markets.

    underrated (and unpopular?): swiss cheese on burgers = best

    Agreed. Didn't know that was unpopular. My sister forgot her cheese for our 4th of July get together today, and I told her I had swiss. (I usually like burgers without cheese, but with cheese swiss is the best. It's also best for grilled cheese.)

    @thelastnightingale Cinnamon or pumpkin spice, with baked apple, sometimes with maple syrup or honey. A really good combo is butternut squash, cranberries, apple, cinnamon, and cashew milk. A friend mentioned this for dessert and I tried it and was surprised.

    Ooh, interesting. I'll bear that in mind next time I have squash in. :) I typically only have it roasted or in a soup - always great to hear some new ideas! Thanks @Noreenmarie1234 too. :)

    I'll happily eat any cheese on burgers! :) Swiss cheese, blue cheese, American cheese, even cheddar...

    Talking of cheese, the best cheese surely is raclette. It's underrated in the UK, but I think that's mainly because it's not very well known in the UK. I dream of a raclette grill.

    Example:
