Food&Wine 2011

Wednesday 10/12/11 time 5:47 PM - Laura Valvanne

Food & Wine expo coming in 2 weeks. I hope everyone can come and visit us in 6n139. (27.-30.10.2011)

I am also cooking with vinegars or more so making vinaigrettes on friday the 28th at 10.30. I am trying to make as many vinaigrettes as I can in that little time given...Just to show how easy they are to make and how litte time it takes to make one. Just get a good oil and a good vinegar...

I have difficulty to understand the "ready to eat" ones that people buy.  Reason being that they don't know how to make? I think the lack of good quality ingredients in supermarket shelfs is a big reason. Have you tried to make a dressing with "crap"? It is not possible, only for the industry it is possible because they can add so many things to make it work.

See you there!

This is just me thinking...

I make a dinner at home, some fish or meat with vegetables. We eat but not all so we have some leftovers.

I put them in the fridge.

For how long would you keep the leftovers in the fridge? If I have not eaten the leftovers in a weeks’ time I throw it away. It’s not really edible anymore, is it?

So here’s my problem: why do the supermarkets have tons and tons of readymade meals, tonight’s dinners that are good for weeks and weeks?

Why would anyone want to eat 2 month old meat casserole or a month old cooked fish filet with a creamy sauce???

And yet this is something the food industry is pouring money into:

How to make today’s dinners last forever.

I don’t know...
