WOLF: Foods We Love but Somehow Don't Eat Very Often - Nakusp Arrow Lakes News
Philip Wolf says family traditions and convenience keep favorites like corn, stuffing and Nanaimo bars off the regular menu.
PQB News and Vancouver Island Free Daily editor Philip Wolf questioned why he reserves corn on the cob for special occasions, deciding to incorporate the vegetable into his regular weekly meal rotation.
Holiday staples like mashed potatoes, gravy, and turkey typically appear only twice a year during Thanksgiving and Christmas. These infrequent appearances often prompt questions if served out of season.
Other seasonal treats like Mum's peach upside-down pudding cake at Christmas and Halloween chocolate bars are similarly limited. Wolf avoids making these foods daily routine for health reasons.
Acknowledging his static meal habits, Wolf decided to challenge his grocery routine. He believes he has talked himself into rectifying this 'obvious wrong' by increasing seasonal meals.
Committing to this change, Wolf declared more corn on the cob will appear in his diet moving forward. He plans to monitor results and report back on his experience.
