Saturday Vittles

 

A couple of weeks ago my daughter and her friend went to the World Market here in town and bought a few new things for us to try. While it wasn't the most healthy of meals, I was able to keep my dinner around 300 calories.

What she bought:

Mini sampler of calabrese, hard salami and prosciutto
Smoked mussels in a pickle sauce
Pickled gherkins/pickles
Caviar
Smoked herring
Crackers
Mini orange chocolates
Liver pate

This is what the board looked like. My daughter loves making a charcuterie board. I will say that I only ate some of this. I've had liver pate, caviar and prosciutto and I don't care for it at all, so I didn't eat that. I only had one of the smoked mussels in a pickle sauce, I didn't care for them. If they hadn't been in a pickle sauce I would have eaten them. 

So I had 4 crackers, 2 pieces of the salami and calabrese, the tiny pickles, smoked herring, and 2 mini chocolates. My dinner was less than 300 calories. It was an interesting combination for sure. 

My daughter was putting the liver pate, crackers, herring and caviar all together. She loved all the things she picked for dinner. This was not the expensive caviar, it was only $8 for the jar. But it was her first time trying any caviar and she liked it. I'm not a fan though. 🤣🤣🤣

Would you eat this? Are you a picky eater or do you like trying new things?
