New foods

I was probably thinking more about food lately as folks start to think about Christmas traditions which often include food.

I think I have in my fridge at the moment various items that my mom let alone my two English grandmothers would not have recognized.

*****

Couscous in a salad - a nice texture.

Hummus from Costco - to eat with veggies.

Three bean salad in a jar from Loblaws.

Chicken quesadilla - I have been known to order one when out to eat at a restaurant.

Pita bread - for eating with the hummus. It also toasts quite well and then the jam melts in easily.

Jalapeno dip - for eating with veggies or pita bread.

Salsa - excellent with chicken.

****
So what would my English grandmothers have said to all these food offerings?

Pass the salsa dear!!

Very nice, but I still like my traditional milk and Dad's cookies and marmalade sandwiches! Also the famous bear beverage: half ginger ale + half orange juice or half grape juice.
