Cheese bLog

Herein lies the list of foods, my gastronomic nemeses, which I must conquer in order to claim my prize: dinner at Charlie Trotter’s.

In progress: Fish/Seafood

• Eggplant
• Artichokes/artichoke hearts
• Capers
• Olives
• Pickles
• Fish/seafood
• Asparagus - Semi-WIN. It was okay; I will not likely count this among my favorite vegetables, but it was palatable and I’d eat it again.
• Beets - WIN. I had roasted beets earlier this growing season and liked them.
• Sour cream
• Mayonnaise
• Alfredo sauce
• Soups that start with ‘cream of’
• Mustard
• Mushrooms WIN, the result of a week-long mushroom intensive.
  

On the maybe list:

• Ketchup (or catsup if you wish)
• The kind of casseroles you find at midwestern, middle-class family and Protestant church dinners, like tuna casserole and GBC

Since I don’t think Charlie Trotter serves GBC on a regular basis and I’m not convinced that GBC is actually food, I’m not in any hurry to acclimate my tastebuds to these things.
