Every food lover experience several types of foods. But some ingredients are mainstays of the ‘foodie’ scene.
Here are some foods you must try:
Goji berries
It is believed that goji berries are good for the eyes, the liver and the kidneys. While a Chinese term that is used to refer to the juicy, reddish-orange appearance of the fruit, it is known as ‘wolfberry’ in India.
The berries also come in dry form, and look like raisins.
Wild garlic
Unlike its bulbous sibling, wild garlic comes in leaf form and is far more delicate in flavour – think more along the lines of milder alliums, such as chives. Treat it in a similar way to spinach – whizzed into soups, wilted as a side dish or raw in salads. It makes a mean pesto too.
Lardo
While this is something that would never appear in our healthy section, as a rare treat this Italian dish of cured pig’s fat is far more appetising than it sounds. Eat it as you would other charcuterie, with crusty bread and pickles, or alternatively stir it through pasta or use as a pizza topping.
Razor clams
While the common clam comes in a heart-shaped shell, razor clams are tubular and contain much more meat. Grill them on the barbecue as you would calamari, steam with wine or cider, or try them cured with lime juice and chilli – otherwise known as super-modish ceviche.
Laverbread
Welsh laverbread is a punchy dish of cooked seaweed and a food of protected status, meaning it’s only produced in the land of the leek. Luckily, it can be bought online. We recommend it with eggs at breakfast, woven into casseroles or fish soup or simply enjoyed with a sprinkling of Welsh sea salt.
