10 Things I'd Never Have in My Kitchen

Rather than taking the time to post about our Jamaica trip, I spent most of last night catching up on my own backed up blogroll. For most of the sites I track, I marked the posts as read and called it a day. But there were a few sites that I scanned a bit more thoroughly. One of those was Tastespotting. I can never resist some good food pics, and I always seem to find great recipes through that site.

This time, however, I found something other than recipes. I found this post asking people to list the foods they'd never let into their kitchens. The post was titled "Calling All Food Snobs," and I think it's meant to give foodies a place to rant about processed foods and box meals. But I come from a different place than those gourmands, and thus, have a very different list. (In fact, we have almost ALL of the items on the original post's list in our kitchen right now.)

Here are the ten things you'd never find in my kitchen (if my wife didn't bring them in, that is):

1. Soy Milk or other Soy products
2. Walnuts
3. Okra
4. Limburger Cheese
5. Fake salt
6. Cow Tongue or other Southern bizarro meats
7. Grits
8. Anchovies
9. Cherry tomatoes
10. Clean countertops and an empty sink
