    Lookup the restaurant Raclette in NYC :)

    I am crying a little in envy looking at them scraping raclette:

    Since jackfruit is getting a lot of hate lately on the "1 food you don't eat" thread, I'm gonna say jackfruit. I don't love the pre-seasoned packet ones, but season-it-yourself green jackfruit shreds are decent, and I think the actual ripe fruit is pretty tasty (though sooooo fussy to pick out & eat).

    Butter lettuce is great.

    I think jackfruit gets hate since it's promoted as a meat replacement but has little protein.

    Shredded wheat-nutty- little sugar- only cereal in diet and awesome after work out or long day. Get the big biscuit kind- I think it’s more flavorful

    Grape Nuts cereal, but not as a breakfast cereal. Add to casseroles. I used to cook up some pasta and then bake for a bit with grape nuts, oil, onion until the Grape Nuts were soft and then add some Parmesan. Anything else can also be added, of course. I would probably add beans/veg nowadays if I could ever remember to buy some Grape Nuts...

    The wheat and barley are a very tasty blend. That's pretty much all that's in it besides yeast and salt, other than added vitamins and minerals.

    Grape nut ice cream is DELICIOUS! Just mix some in your favorite softened vanilla ice cream and let it sit in the freezer several days until the grape nuts soften a little. Was my dad's favorite ice cream. 💙

    All Winter squash is good, but this is the best one I've found so far (an heirloom, usually called Georgia Candy Roaster; some close types are Pink Banana and Pink Ball - the latter is of course a more round shape). IMO Acorn Squash is less desirable - a convenient size, but more watery. The downside (maybe) of these heirlooms is that they're huuuuuge (those are pints of blackberries & black raspberries in the photo). These are meaty, richer-tasting, and have nice plump seeds that are delicious roasted with a little good chili powder and popcorn salt (plus a bit of olive oil so the spices stick).

    I think a good greek salad is highly underrated. feta, red onion, tomatoes, cucumber and some olive oil.

    Love greek salad. (But the dressing is typically a vinaigrette not just olive oil.)

    Greek salad is amazing. I would also add a handful of kalamata olives and some banana peppers.
