If someone offered you aamchur, would you:
- slurp it;
- snort it;
- mix it into something; or
- barbecue it
to make good culinary use of it?
What if you were provided with quiabo? Is it something that you'd serve for dessert?
If you're interested in food beyond the mass-produced burger, the processed cheese spread, the pre-digested stew-in-a-can, then this site should appeal to you.
LotD: Practically Edible
Billed as "the world's biggest food encyclopedia", Practically Edible has the answers to your food questions and inspiration for those days when the lure of the "instant anything" is strong. Aamchur, by the way, is mango powder and is used to give sourness to dishes, particularly in Indian cuisine. Quiabo is another term for okra, and I think you'd never have dinner party company again if you served it for dessert (although Kelly Cline (extraordinary food stylist and recipe maven) might find a way to make it palatable!) You'll also find tips and tricks, recipes, and information on four cuisines.
