I'm Jihan. I like 
Popular on the internet: Inside insides, MRIs of food. If I had an MRI to fool around with, I’d be all over this. (This is a durian; click through for the animation.)
Just discovered The Supersizers Go/Eat, a BBC series in which these two people spend a week eating food from a certain time period. This is the first part of the episode on the Regency period. Some of the humor is not funny and thus rather distracting. The food is interesting though. (via justhungry)
EDIT: This episode redeemed itself a bit with this gem: wow-wow sauce.
EDIT: The Victorian episode is better, I think.
“My goal is not to subdue Nature. My goal is to eat Nature.

“A bite or two into the salad, I can almost believe that bananas, peas, raisins and cheese really do go together. They don’t, of course, but I can barely taste them through the dressing – a quarter cup of sugar and two cups of mayonnaise.
Food update:
- Chocolate-chip cookies from scratch: tasty, sweet but substantial, lots of butter. If I’m going to cook something time-intensive I generally go for savory/salty over sweet, so this was a first attempt at baking a dessert that didn’t come from a pre-made mix. Definitely an upgrade over store-bought cookies (see: photo).
- Lentil soup with spinach: pretty good, a little bland. Soup is the best way to eat carrots and celery; I think there is too much weird flavor when they are raw. This recipe needs more flavor though. Maybe the optional smoked pork or ham provides that.
- “Pucker Powder”: a 34” tube of flavored sugar (horrifying website, by the way). So far, sour white (why not green?) apple, pink lemonade, and sweet root beer are good. Guava and kiwi are disgusting. Bubblegum tastes like Juicy Fruit or something, which I also find gross.
- Chocolate-covered bacon: Someone at work made this for a party. Tastes exactly like it sounds but still manages to be unexpected.
- Ferry Plaza Farmers Market: busy, lots of plums/peaches/nectarines and veggibles. Recommend peanut brittle and Indian food for the free samples in addition to all of the fruits. Picked up some Acme bread. It’s good, but I haven’t developed a taste for high-qual bread; they’re all about equally delicious to me.
Tune in next time for lentil tacos and something with quinoa. Also I will try to update gradually. Massive text-dumps are not very tumblr-like, I know.
A little late to the party, but this is great: foodgawker
It’s a gallery of food photography (linked to recipes). My sister is trying out a chicken nugget recipe, so we’ll see how that turns out. The photo is is of sweet potato aloo gobi.
