In Praise of Quinoa: Chisaya Mama
Man, I had the best dish of quinoa I've ever had -- well drizzled in juice that I squeezed into it straight from a fresh lime, it had explosions of tastiness! Seriously. By itself, quinoa* is somewhat bland, more or less like some kind of wild rice or couscous, but the lime really made it work.

*Widely pronounced keen-wa.

Any ancient foods you've come across over the years that surprised you? Added any to your regular cuisine?

Just a coney dog kind of guy here dude.
You're not really vegan, are you? When I'm very hungry I crave more than just veggie-food, though I guess I will learn...eventually.
WM, no tofu dogs?
T, not a vegan. But it's clearly a healthy lifestyle, and cutting down on meat is a good idea for most people (at least in the USA), I'm fairly certain!
That actually looks pretty good.
