Eat the Alphabet #8 - H

The Letter H

H food is surprisingly hard to find! And consists mostly of meat!

Instead of having 5 kinds of meat, I let Toby pick one and I picked one.

We settled on Honey glazed Ham, and Hamburgers with Horseradish.
(Toby wanted hot dogs too, but we were going for things we don't normally have.)



With it we had Hashbrown patties, Herbed Havarti cheese, Hummus (with carrots because I couldn't think of anything H to dip with) and beans (which in french is Haricot, is that cheating or being innovative??)


For dessert: Honeydew melon and Halva, which is a middle eastern treat that is basically sweetened and flavoured tahini (sesame seed paste) that is packed into a cake. I'm not a fan of tahini to begin with, but it was ok. Toby described it as chocolaty flavoured flour, and preferred the melon.




Other H things we didnt have: Halibut, Herring, Hasenpfeffer (rabbit stew), Anything with the word 'hot' preceding it (hot peppers, hot sauce, etc), Haggis...other things that felt like cheating like 'hickory smoked' or 'honeyed'.
Happy Eating!
