I very much enjoy Joanne Fluke’s books. This is one with her and two other authors I appreciate, Laura Levine and Leslie Meier. It’s been a while since I read it, but I think it was Joanne’s story that included a recipe with the two ingredients you see below: beets and pineapple.
Any recipe with both of those items in one end product is not for me. It just doesn’t work with the following food combination issues:
- Fruit and veggies don’t mix in the same dish (see example below)
- All meats are to be thoroughly cooked (this includes fish)
- Sugar and meat don’t mix (no honey smoked ham or maple flavored bacon on my plate, but I can transfer it to yours)
- Fruit and meat don’t mix (pineapple and ham pizza – there’s more for you to enjoy)
I am sure I have more oddities, i.e. preferences. What are some of yours?
