I’m always hearing people complaining about eating healthy is BORING and that fresh fruits and vegetables just ‘don’t do it’ for them. Quite frankly, I’m always confused at why this complaint is so popular. All it takes is a little imagination to get your palate jumping (and your fibre count up!).
A traditional Saturday dinnertime fare is soup. In almost every single Jamaican household I’ve been to (yaad and foreign), on a Saturday you don’t have to second-guess what’s on the menu. There’s a wide range of soups locals enjoy: red peas, gungo peas, chicken foot and pumpkin soup are just a few. Last week Saturday, I got a hankering for soup a serious, honest-to-hungry-belly, gnawing in my tummy feeling for soup. The problem is, my helper (bless her heart) was preparing soup in her typical fashion (like many other Jamaicans) thickened with cornstarch/flour and made with high-sodium Cock Soup mix – not in my belly. I enjoy lentil soup with a passion and decided that it would be lunch and dinner on Saturday last.
