Food you've only discovered recently that's amazingly good or under-appreciated by most people

For some strange reason I really like quinoa although I can't always remember how to pronounce it.

I only discovered quinoa this year. Love it. Love the texture.

That sounds yum sandy will have to try it out, same with another posters idea of fried basil leaves.

Oh, Chia seeds. I add it to my juice.

Not a food as such, but I have recently started using flavour infused olive oils. I have a chilli one, a garlic, a basil and a lemon one atm. An easy way to get subtle flavours into whatever you're cooking.

I made my own garlic peanut oil on the weekend for a stir fry.  I like garlic but in a stir fry it often gets burnt and then it is supposed to be bitter.

This way you have the flavour without the bitterness.  I don't know how long you can keep it for but I'm assuming it will last well in the fridge.

I'm liking food more and more that doesn't have any flavours added.

I like to taste the potato, the pumpkin, the carrot, the meat.

I do admit to liking tossed salad with home made oil dressing.  Oh, and Sea Salt.

I'm WITH YA, DEB.

I stopped using salt soooooooooo long ago ... I do add herbs, juice, garlic, whatever. Very occasionally I add sea salt.

BUT ... we're just about out of groceries and the kid came up to me and talked about what he could have for dinner. I suggested pasta, tomatoes, and cheese.

He told me I inspired him, and asked if I remembered Canada ...

He wants to make poutine with pasta instead of chips/fries.

For those of you who don't know ... poutine is hot chips/fries, topped with gravy and some kind of cheese.

Well, 10/10 for invention.

We call 'em cheesy fries at my place

Deep frying herbs to me seems to lose the idea of a fresh burst of flavour. Love fresh basil.

new taste sensation: oysters. Natural. With hand cut homemade chips.
