Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

I made "feijoada" once, using the recipe from the original "Diet For A Small Planet", by Frances Moore Lappe. The recipe called for whole orange- (which initially made me go "Aarrr????!!!", like Scooby-Doo)- but I followed the recipe anyway, because I love to experiment with really different tastes. I even eat my mistakes because I hate to waste food- I just don't make them again. But this wasn't a mistake- it worked, surprisingly enough.
Ooh I could imagine fresh orange working well there. Doesn't sound like crazy talk to me.

Same here about wasting food - within reason. I've had times where something doesn't work and I keep reworking it into other things. Diluting the problem sometimes just makes the problem bigger!

Prosociano.

A white cabbage slaw with Dijon vinaigrette and yeast flakes.

Alpro plain soya yogurt with a few drops of vanilla, ground hazelnuts plus sweetener.
 
Penne with tomato sauce and cleavers(aka catchweed or sticky willy in the UK) that I foraged today. While I enjoyed cooking with something new, the stems were a little tough to go down super comfortably. I don't think I'll eat them again.
My experience exactly. It's fun to forage and try new things, but there's a litany of reasons why sticky willy isn't a mainstream culinary item!
