National Pecan Day

On April 14, we celebrate National Pecan Day, pecan — a uniquely American nut whose fan base counts the likes of founding fathers such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Whether it’s a garnish on a salad or a stand-alone snack, caramelized or roasted, sweet or savory — pecans never fail to deliver on the enthralling taste and the ultimate nutrient density. Did you know, America is credited for 75% of the world’s total pecan production? This fun holiday was established by the National Pecan Shellers Association in 1966 to recognize and honor the workforce behind the cultivation of pecans in America.

History of National Pecan Day

On National Pecan Day, America celebrates the only nut native to its land. Pecans are a much-celebrated nut of America, used in deserts, icecreams, and snacks.

Centuries before European colonization, pecans were cultivated, processed, and consumed in America by Native people. The word ‘pecan’ is derived from the word ‘pacane,’ used by the Algonquin tribe to describe a nut that needs a stone to crack open. The tribes valued pecan for its nutrition density, availability, ease of consumption, and fulfilling taste.

In the late 17th century, the native nut caught the eye of Spanish colonists, who began cultivating large pecan orchards in the vicinity. But it wasn’t until the 18th century that the commercialization of pecans picked up the pace in the United States. By 1802, formal selling routes were established, and pecan export had commenced.

In 1882, a hybrid fruit via the budding of pecan and an adjacent wild plant was created by Abner Landrum, a cultivator from South Carolina. This resultant nut was considered to be an upgraded version of pecan. Although the hybrid seeds of Abner got lost in time, in 1876, the process of grafting was recreated by Antoine, a slave from Louisiana. Antoine presented his discovery at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1976 and thus began farming a new and improved variety of pecans throughout the country.

Today, America is responsible for three quarters of pecan production in the world. From the summer lanes of Texas to the sunny pavements of California, pecan cultivation is a year-long endeavor for thousands of American farmworkers.

In 1996, the National Pecan Shellers Association members came together to establish April 14 as National Pecan Day. The objective of the day is to celebrate the earthly wonders of this nut and to uplift the hardworking members of the industry who make the sustainable farming of pecans possible.

National Pecan Day FAQs

How is 'pecan' pronounced?

The correct pronunciation of pecan is PEE-can. However, a majority of southern Americans like to say it as PA-kawn. How do you pronounce it?

Are pecan and walnut the same thing?

It’s easy to get confused, but walnuts and pecans are two different nuts from the same Junlandacea family. Walnut has a smooth exterior with a lighter color, unlike pecans, which have a chocolate brown color with definitive lines.

Can you eat pecan raw?

Yes! Pecans, like all other nuts, are edible in their raw form. You can carry a couple of these shelled nuts in your pocket to munch through the day, or you can scatter them on your salad for that extra crunch.

National Pecan Day Activities

Plan a pecan day

Host a bake off

Plant a pecan tree in your backyard

Indulge in the versatile offering of this great American nut by planning your menu around it. Start the day with fluffy pecan pancakes, then have butter pecan chicken for lunch. For a midday snack, enjoy a couple of candied pecans, and end your day with pecan-crusted salmon and some hot pecan pie.

From cookies to pies, pecans go well with any baking dish. So for National Pecan Day, host a bakeoff with your friends and family — featuring our beloved pecans.

Pecans are non-fuss plants that don’t require a liver and a half to take sapling. Plant the seeds today, so you can reap the nuts tomorrow.

5 Important Facts About Pecans

It’s a vitamin party

It’s more than a crunch

A friend to the heart

A love for centuries

A dose of pecan for Apollo

Pecans are home to 19 different vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium.

Pecan oil, processed from pecans, is recommended for those with a risk of heart disease.

Pecans have the official certification of the American Heart Association for being a ‘Heart-Healthy Food.’

A pecan tree grows to over 150 feet tall and lives for over 300 years.

Astronauts carried pecans to the moon in their Apollo space mission twice.

Why We Love National Pecan Day

Pecans are underrated

Pecans are the O.G. American nut

Pecans contribute to the economy

The sweet and crunchy texture of a pecan elevates any dish it touches. Be it candies, cookies, bread, pie, salads, or ice cream. It’s time we honor the contribution of this humble nut in our kitchen and celebrate National Pecan Day with full excitement.

While cashew came to America from Brazil and the California almonds are actually a gift of Spain, pecan is the singular nut native to America. Pecans were widely consumed by native Americans before European colonization.

The American pecan industry is worth over $3.5 billion. Just 15 states of the U.S. produce more than 75% of pecan of the world. The pecan trees are responsible for the livelihoods of thousands of families and a flourishing U.S. economy

could i get your take on what the companions (or just my favorite boy X6's) top 10 fave candies/foods would be in a modern AU?

anon you are in luck, because I am constantly thinking about the diets and eating habits of my blorbos

The numbered list isn't in any particular order, it's just so I don't have to manually count each point

What the companions would eat if not in a post apocalypse

Cait; Wouldn't have a taste for fancier cuisine. Eats more...hick-ish. I can say that because I was a hick with this kind of diet, growing up. Has a taste for filling, cheap, low-effort food...think lots of fast food, but "healthier" fast food. Like Chipotle, Panera, etc. Can cook, doesn't often, but will if she has a craving. Savory or tart tastes. She tends to eat lighter than you'd expect.

Blueberry brownie anything, favors dark chocolate in general

Submarine sandwiches, anything with pickles

Key lime pie

Salt and vinegar chips and thinks critics of such chips are cowards

Peach Redbull, any energy drinks though

Storebought hummus and Doritos, has been seen eating hummus with just a spoon though

Blueberry bread pudding. Simple to make, fun to eat, very comforting. Buys her bread already stale from a local bakery, has a guy to hook her up with the old shit

Seafood chowder

Sausages in any capacity. Jerky sticks, breakfast sausage, etc. Loves chorizo.

Honey buns from the gas station

Curie; Health nut, she eats like every influencer claims they eat like. Only, Curie actually eats like that. Lots of fresh foods and whole grains, little red meat. However, Curie makes a point to have foods that other health nuts would condemn, thinks its really important to not label any food as "bad." So, she balances between health nut and normal person. Her taste leans toward bright and/or sweet. Dislikes red meat.

Salmon breakfast wraps

Tropical fruit smoothies, eats so much pineapple

Iced tea, favors raspberry. Never seen without an iced tea of some kind

Halibut tacos, likes red cabbage and a fuck ton of lemon on it. Soft shells all the way

Bananas foster

Whipped brie dip, eats it with anything but loves it on apples, basically dessert

Lemon pepper grilled chicken and rice

So many salads, loves that you can just throw shit in a bowl and call it a recipe. Likes strawberries and almonds

Lemon poppyseed muffins

Shrimp and bitter melon stir fry

Danse; mixed bag. One on hand, small town diner tastes. Simple, cheap, good ol' American food. On the other, he's doomed to be a soldier in every universe he's in, so...maybe he picks up some tastes and dishes from places he's toured. Gets a weird pallate that shoots in all directions and makes you wonder what it's like in that thick skull. One day he's a good American boy with pancakes and steak, the next he's eating cake mix dry and drinking tahini from a flask.

Anything BBQ, but a pulled pork devotee

Hot coffee so heavily creamed and sugars it looks like milk. He likes the twix combo of chocolate, shortbread, and caramel flavors

Prepackaged baked goods a la Hostess, fucks up little Debbie oatmeal cookies

Apple and pecan pie

Menemen—Turkish dish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, bell peppers, spices to taste, and (controversially) onions. Adds sausage and cheese, eats it with a fork or spoon (its meant to be eaten with bread)

Khachapuri—Georgian cheesy bread with egg. Eats with a knife and fork. (its meant to be eaten with the bread crust)

Smores pop tarts

Beef and potato stew

Rice bowl with fried egg and avocado, bonus points if it has bacon

Straight cookie dough/brownie/cake batter, usually when he's black out drunk and cannot shame himself out of eating raw egg products.

Deacon; Very childhood comfort food. Y'know, things you had as a kid, but probably grew out of a bit? Eats out of gas stations/takeout frequently. Very open flavor pallete, has tried everything he's had the chance to. Likes one-handed food, stuff you can have the other hand free for. Doesn’t really have a 'theme', has broad horizons for his diet. Likes lighter, mild flavors, though. He eats lightly and on the go a lot.

Hot/corn dogs, taste in hot dog toppings varies

Egg salad sandwiches

French fries and vanilla ice cream, classic combo

Mango sticky rice

Cornbread with any accompaniments. Likes honey or chili, thinks if you have a drink with cornbread, you ain't a real cornhead

Penne alla vodka

Cucumber salad. This could mean a salad with cucumbers, that trending Asian recipe where you cut the cumber so its springy, or eating a cucumber like a hotdog.

Fried mushrooms

Usually just drinks water but will have gator/powerade when he's working. Likes purple flavor

Captain crunch cereal, loves all cereal though. Prefers the kibble stuff to the berries. Starts philosophical debates about the morality of Trix commercials vs Lucky Charms commercials

Gage; His favorite foods reflect his upbringing. Coastal swamp cuisine, cheap and made in bulk. Take Danse's pallate and hyperlocalize it, and then lower the budget by a good amount. Things he grew up eating. Would gradually replace his favorites with pricier, 'less embarrassing' dishes, distances himself from his origins. However, takes care to not looked too loaded. Smokey and savory flavors are his thing, likes more spice than people expect.

Doberge cake, which is layered with pudding, often half-chocolate and half-lemon

Red beans and rice, with stewed pork if they could afford it

Blackened fish of any kind, liked it with cilantro-lime rice

Steak with potatoes and/or eggs

Chronic iced tea drinker like Curie, though he prefers the bitter kinds

Scallops

Brussels sprouts defender and will fight for their honor

Peaches

Was introduced to curry during a business meeting/outing. Could drink that shit from a glass, has it with potatoes and porkchops.

Lobster anything. This is one of those 'less embarresing' things, but he genuinely enjoys a good lobster roll. Even if he prefers a freshly-caught lobster bisque. Again, something he had growing up, something he pushes away.

Hancock; Similar to Deacon, but favors fatty, greasy food. No, it's not the drugs, that's just his metabolism. He's a skinny twink, always starving, can never put on weight. Eats as much as Danse, who is a big guy and needs more calories than most. He's really into street food and foreign dishes, won't eat at a restaurant if they speak fluent English or have good customer service. IYKYK. Very comfort food heavy, lots of "this would slap with Netflix at 2 am"

A classic oxtail, mac and cheese, and collard green take out combo

Any and all American-chinese take out, usually gets eggplant tofu with chow mein and cream cheese rangoons

"Walking tacos", those things where you open a small bag of chips and dump White People taco makings in. Probably just tips the whole thing into his mouth

Yakitori, Japanese chicken skewers, popular bar food

Bloody Mary cocktails

Pizza, will fight for the honor of pineapple. Would really be into how Brazil does pizza

Frozen yogurt and ice cream, piles with toppings

Breakfast sandwiches or wraps. Egg, meat, cheese, doesn't matter the time nor specifics.

Jam donuts, loves cherry fillings

Puppy chow/muddy buddies, chex cereal covered in chocolate and powdered sugar. Eats his weight in them if not careful

MacCready; forces himself to learn how to cook for Duncan's sake, but for himself...good God. It's horrible. Eats like garbage. Would never drink water if not to set an example. Take out, frozen food, so much candy and soda. After Duncan, broadens his horizons. Finds he really likes soups. Just throw shit in a pot and it works. Eats on a budget, so that's a life-saver. Doesn't have a preferred flavor pallete, aside from his love of candy.

Meat lover's pizza. Thinks pineapple has no place on pizza

Used to drink Mountain Dew and diet coke, replaced it with iced teas and more organic fruit juices for the sake of his teeth

Chicken soup, either from a can, or homemade. Either way, slaps. If homemade, blends veggies for a hidden veggie stock. For him, Duncan is a lot better at eating veggies, MacCready needs to trick himself.

Sour rainbow ropes

Cookie crisp cereal, thinks whoever came up with it deserved the sloppiest head. Incredible design, no notes

Cheese and sour cream chips

Famous Amos cookies

Eggo waffles

Gnocchi is God to him. Its superior to all noodles and makes your Shit In The Fridge soup 1000 times better.

Rice pudding is cheap, easy, and a surprisingly efficient sweet-tooth satisfier. Makes it with pumpkin spice mix or chocolate.

Nick; Home-cooked meals all the way. Could kill himself with cheese and die happy. Lots of easy meals and snacking so he can keep working, but will treat himself to a nice, hard-earned dinner when he has the time and energy. Likes himself the smokey, the fresh, or the sour. Probably knows all the best sub shops in the city, probably in a turf war with regulars of rival shops. Jewish delicatessens are like church to him.

Lasanga. Most of his freezer space is lasagna. Eats so much of it. He's lactose intolerant. It hurts but it hurts so good

Latkes. Fried potato things, kind of like hashbrowns, except the potato is mashed/ground instead of grated. And yes. Also pastrami. But those little potato bitches...mmmph.

Red velvet muffins with cream cheese frosting.

Fried cheese in any capacity

A prosciutto, arugula, brie, and fig sandwich

Pickled pearl onions

Cobb salad

Black coffee. Temp doesn't matter, because he's going to forget it until its room temp.

Has been known to enter fugue states and consume an absurd amount of Chicago style hot dogs

Scones or just plain bread with butter and jams

Piper; Broke college student trying to make it as a reporter. Her tastebuds are fucked, they salivate not for flavor, or texture, but for those good, good low prices. Piper's diet is almost entirely snackfood or takeout. If she ever cooks, it's for Nat. But when taking care of just herself, Piper eats from a box or bag. When she does cook, it's very simple meals. Loves her carbs and her fruit flavors

Chicken Ramen with canned chicken and frozen broccoli chucked in. Also makes this for Nat

Hot cheetos, eats with chopsticks

Spaghetti and meatballs

Fruit smoothies/smoothie bowls, blends in veggies as well for the nutrition

Coka cola and anything from Fanta, loves fruit sodas

Anything carbs and I mean that. Eats a lot of bread, pasta, cakes, potatoes...they're the sweetheart of anyone on a budget.

Buffalo cauliflower, likes it more than Buffalo chicken

Chewing gum. Fruit flavors only, hates mint gum. Likes mint elsewhere, just not in gum.

Nickle-nips and other "jelly/juice in a wax package" candies. Likes the charm of it, also, free chewing wax

Suckers/lollipops, big on hard candy in general but the stick satisfies her smoking habit.

Preston; A mix of easy depression/bulk meals and dishes from his childhood. Lots of spices, cooks with a lot of straight peppers. Tends to eat his food 'raw', not made into a dish. Again, easy and quick to eat. Also tends to buy pre-prepared stuff for the same reason, buys more fruits and veggies and just eats them straight. Doesn't care about eating healthy, he just lacks energy to cook most days.

I have no choice to explain this as it has no name. Casserole dish, layer of mashed potatoes, layer of shredded or chunked chicken, layer of white breakfast gravy or brown poultry gravy, top with drop biscuits. It's buttery, its savory, it is white as snow. Easy, cheap, one ladlefull is dinner. You'll get a few meals out of it, and it's so filling you have like, five minutes before you're stuffed. I call it gut-glue.

Dirty rice

Eggs scrambled with spinach

Jollof/jambalaya

Veggies and hummus or ranch

Various fruits and berries such as grapes, cherries, blackberries, and oranges

Shakshouka, eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce and eaten with bread

Chicken biscuits, crackers dusted with, like, chicken bouillon? They taste like a chicken Ramen packet sneezed on a ritz

Slurpees/Icees/those syruped gas station ice drinks

Straight peppers, eats bell peppers like apples. Eats pickled jalapeños and scotch bonnets to feel something. Drinks the liquid in pickle jars instead of alcohol, or mixes it with gelatin and makes pickle jello.

X6-88; Pretensious rich asshole who eats like it. He rarely cooks for himself, probably has a personal chef or something. Maybe his work has their own restaurants, like Google. Eats mostly vegetables, but his favorite foods skew from "Dubai Influencer" to "12 year old who earned too much lawn mowing money and was let loose in a convenience store." So much sugar. Willy Wonka's factory is his idea of heaven and until it exists, he's an atheist.

Raw meats. Steak and tuna tartar, sashimi, and sushi

Braised duck with cherries

Nduja, a spicy pork sausage spread, has it with flatbreads

Oysters. Eats them all fancy in public, eats them from a tin with doritos at home

Anything from Hostess, Little Debbie, those brands. Fucking anything. However, would kill a man for any kind of Swiss roll

Chocolate milk

Gummies, very picky with brands, hates the harder kinds like Haribo. Wants his gummies soft as a marshmellow

Cadbury eggs

Milano dark chocolate cookies

Gushers

Canada is a country known for its stunning natural landscapes, diverse culture, and friendly people. But one aspect of Canadian life that often goes overlooked is its delicious and unique cuisine. From coast to coast, Canada offers a wide range of culinary delights that reflect its multicultural population and rich history.

One of the most iconic Canadian dishes is poutine, a hearty and indulgent meal that originated in Quebec. This dish consists of crispy French fries topped with cheese curds and smothered in rich gravy. Poutine can be found in restaurants and food trucks across the country, and each region puts its own spin on this classic comfort food. Some variations include adding toppings like pulled pork, bacon, or even lobster to create a truly decadent dish.

Another Canadian favorite is butter tarts, a sweet and gooey dessert that is a staple at holiday gatherings and special occasions. These delicious treats are made with a flaky pastry crust filled with a mixture of butter, sugar, and eggs, often with the addition of raisins or pecans. Butter tarts are a beloved Canadian dessert that can be found in bakeries and cafes throughout the country.

For those looking for a taste of the sea, Canada offers an abundance of fresh seafood options. From Atlantic lobster and Prince Edward Island mussels to Pacific salmon and British Columbia spot prawns, Canada's coastal waters provide a bounty of delicious seafood that is enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Whether grilled, steamed, or fried, Canadian seafood is a must-try for any food lover.

In addition to its traditional dishes, Canada also boasts a vibrant food scene that celebrates its multicultural population. Cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal are home to a diverse array of restaurants serving cuisine from around the world. From authentic Chinese dim sum and Indian curry to Italian pasta and Japanese sushi, Canada's cities offer a culinary journey that can satisfy any palate.

One unique aspect of Canadian cuisine is its use of indigenous ingredients and traditional cooking methods. Indigenous communities across Canada have long relied on ingredients like wild game, fish, berries, and roots to create nourishing and flavorful dishes. Today, many restaurants and chefs are incorporating these ingredients into their menus, showcasing the rich culinary traditions of Canada's First Nations peoples.

Canada is also known for its love of maple syrup, a sweet and versatile ingredient that is used in a variety of dishes. From drizzling it over pancakes and waffles to using it as a glaze for meats and vegetables, maple syrup adds a delicious touch of sweetness to many Canadian dishes. In fact, Canada produces over 70% of the world's maple syrup, making it a truly iconic Canadian ingredient.

Whether you're a fan of hearty comfort food, fresh seafood, international cuisine, or indigenous ingredients, Canada has something to offer every food lover. With its diverse culinary landscape and commitment to using fresh, local ingredients, Canada is a foodie paradise waiting to be explored.

So the next time you find yourself in Canada, be sure to sample some of the country's most iconic dishes and experience the unique flavors that make Canadian cuisine so special.

International Carrot Day

Bake it into a cake, crunch it with some ranch, or cook it up in a butter sauce: the carrot is healthy, tasty, and surprisingly easy to grow for your own.

Ahhh, the ubiquitous carrot. A favorite food of rabbits, amazing for the eyesight, and the foundation of what is easily one of the greatest cakes ever conceived! This root vegetable is full of vitamins and nutrition, while being tasty as well!

When people think of a carrot, it’s doubtless that the mind is immediately brought to the bright orange root with the green foliage. The same one that is often found sticking out of the face of a snowman during winter.

But does everyone know that orange is just one of the many colors that carrots naturally come in? In fact, orange isn’t even the most common color of carrots outside of the Americas!

International Carrot Day is a perfect opportunity to learn more about all of the various cultivars of carrot, and what they can bring to the enjoyment and nutrition of meals!

History of International Carrot Day

The history of International Carrot Day is really the history of the carrot, and research of this incredibly popular root has revealed that it likely finds its origins in Central Asia. Through thousands of years of careful cultivation, the world has ultimately arrived at the bright orange, slightly sweet, not at all bitter variety of carrot that is regularly found in recipes today!

International Carrot Day, itself, was established in 2003 and it has spread throughout the world to all the places the carrot is known. By 2012. International Carrot Day Celebrations had found their way around the globe to several countries on different continents, including France, Sweden, Italy, Russia, Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

As previously mentioned, there are multiple varieties of this popular vegetable, known as cultivars, that range away from the traditional orange color people typically think of.

There’s the purple dragon carrot, a lovely form of this root vegetable that has a deliciously complex flavor, slightly spicy with a kid-friendly sweetness. There’s also a lovely yellow carrot that is colored as bright yellow as a banana but has a wonderful flavor all its own.

Carrots are the foundation of so many meals, from rich and savory stews to sweet cakes and candies. They can serve as almost any part of a meal as well, including a sweet candied carrot or as the color to a tray of richly roasted vegetables.

International Carrot Day celebrates this root in all its uses, forms and flavors!

How to Celebrate International Carrot Day

Enjoying International Carrot Day is a fairly simple concept that mostly revolves around eating carrots, of course. But other creative ideas can also be thrown into the mix!

Eat Carrots, Carrots, and More Carrots

The easiest and tastiest way to celebrate International Carrot Day is to make sure that carrots are featured in every meal!

Start the day with a couple of carrot-apple breakfast muffins. Then take along a bag of baby carrots with a bit of ranch dressing for a snack throughout the day. Round out the lunch meal with a slice of delicious carrot cake.

Then, at dinner, enjoy the fundamental flavor of roast vegetables featuring the favorite of the day: the carrot!

Make a Carrot Cake

A tasty favorite for many, the carrot cake uses this vegetable in a surprising way. Adding spice to the cake and topping it with cream cheese frosting is the perfect way to enjoy and celebrate this versatile vegetable.

Plant Some Carrots

One great way to honor the carrot is by taking a try at growing some! They’re not a difficult plant to grow, but they do require soil that is in good condition. They can be planted from seed indoors in cooler months and then moved outdoors when the weather is warmer.

Because they tend to grow around rocks and other roots in the soil, home grown carrots may not turn out exactly straight. In fact, it can be fairly entertaining to see what shapes they grow into while hiding underground! No matter what shape they are, they’re sure to be delicious and nutritious.

Throw a Carrot Party

People who are looking for a place to serve that carrot cake they made might as well go ahead and host a International Carrot Day Party! Gather some friends together and enjoy all of the lovely benefits and tastes of carrots. The menu will obviously be filled with multiple appetizers, snacks, and desserts all including carrots as ingredients.

Don’t forget that Carrot Juice and Carrot Shots are fun ways to ingest this healthy food. For orange-themed drinks that aren’t made of carrots, consider orange soda or soft drinks, just to keep things interesting.

Decorate the room in various orange and green items (balloons, crepe paper, paper goods, etc.) and carrot-themed decor. For even more fun, have guests dress head-to-toe in orange. It might even be fun, for a friend who isn’t highly sensitive about their red ‘carrot-top’ hair, to be the guest of honor!

Visit the Carrot Museum

Who knew that there was an entire museum dedicated to learning about carrots? And the best thing of all is that it’s accessible to anyone because it’s a Virtual Museum! Hosted by the World Carrot Museum foundation, the online page offers all kinds of opportunities and adventures in carrots.

Take an interactive tour, learn about the history and evolution of the carrot, see the difference between domesticated and wild carrots, and even discover ancient manuscripts and illustrations that are all related to this venerable veg!

International Carrot Day really is an opportunity for the all-purpose vegetable, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert. And a nose for a snowman! Carrots really can do it all!

Tumblr is hateful and it stopped putting your posts in my dash. ☹️ I miss seeing your stuff pop up. I figured maybe if I come over here and leave an Ask, Tumblr might remember that we’re mutuals. ❤️ 🤞🏻

So, Foodie……if you were to make dinner for Henry (or one of his characters) what would you cook? Would there be multiple courses? Dessert? Would you eat indoors or al fresco? What wine or cocktail would you pair with the meal?

Ugh! This site is so glitchy sometimes. But thank you for coming over to my blog sweetheart. And an even bigger thank you for leaving this amazing ask.

I hadn't really given much thought about this but with some good olé help from @agniavateira I think a list (more like tiny drabbles 😆) has been compiled. 😅 Hope you like it boo. ♥️

So let's begin? 🍽️

Henry

Being a homeboy, Henry prefers to stay home as much as possible whenever he is not filming. So if there were dates planned, it would be a nice backyard dinner on the back porch with the soft glow of string lights you had hung from the awning. Hailing from an island, he enjoys seafood and due to his rigorous fitness regime, you try to prepare something that wouldn't cause him to hit the gym for an extra hour the next day. You try to recreate the recipe of Spaghetti with Seafood Velouté and pair it with whiskey and nice engaging dinner conversation.

Syverson

When Syverson is home from his foreign deployment, cribbing about the MREs he had to consume while away, you try to feed your man as much home cooked meal as possible. He is a prime meat lover but above all he has an appetite for all things sweet. Being a man of his stature, this Texan bull loves when you prepare several courses for dinner. For starters, you make Tex Mex Queso with Nachos and serve it with his favorite beer, a baseball match playing on the TV. Main course would consist of Beef Stew with homemade Cornbread and Rice. But it's only when you bring out the Chocolate Pecan Pie and Apple Crisp, Sy's eyes light up like the fourth of July. In his case, "a man's love comes from his stomach" could not have been any truer.

Walter

Grumpy Detective Walter loves nothing more than the night prior to his day off duty. He looks forward to an evening of relaxation and enjoy your cooking. He is quite efficient in the kitchen himself, but he never turns down the offer of a pleasant meal prepared by you. Striving mostly on microwavable food and coffee as he immersed himself in his work before he met you, he likes it when you spoil him. You keep things modest, placing only fresh flowers in a vase on the dining table, as Walter loved simplicity. But you take him by surprise when you place in front of him a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a plate of Slow-Roasted Salmon With Harissa, a recipe you had acquired from his mother and one of his favorite. He was a man of few words, but as he dug into his dessert, a piece of Lemon Buttercream Layer Cake, and says "reminds me of home" you know you had done a good job.

August

August loves things to be refined and elegant. The sprawling Manhattan penthouse with a balcony that looked out to the Hudson River made for a nice outdoor dinner setting. He had appointed chefs for the kitchen but once in a while you give them a day off and prepare something by yourself. To start it all off, you serve Roasted Tomato Bruschetta to pair it with a glass of sparkling Prosecco. For main course you prepare Crab and Tiger Prawn Fettuccine and Herb-crusted Bread. August isn't too fond of dessert but when it is you who took the effort to cook, he eats it without hesitation. You watch him in awe as with a rare childlike glee he finishes the Berry Vanilla Creamcheese Parfait, lickes the spoon clean and flashes you a smile that instantly warms your heart.

Napoleon

It was always a fun time when Leon was home from his secret visits abroad. He loved to help you cook, keeping you entertained with his quick witted jokes. But he liked exquisite cuisine too and you would try to learn a few recipes when he wasn't home. Having stayed at plenty world class hotels, Leon found your Vichyssoise, a chilled soup of leeks, onions and potatoes blended into chicken stock and cream, magnificent. A main course of Chicken à la King and champagne, reminded him of your wedding as it was one of the many dishes served at the reception. But the real winner was the dessert, Creme de Menthe Squares, Leon's favorite recipe and the one you had almost perfected by now.

Mikey

Mikey was the most easy going boyfriend when it came to choosing what to eat for dinner since he had no objections about any food category. On regular nights even if you made a pepperoni pizza at home, he was happy about it. And that's why you loved to cook fancy meals for him and have date nights with him up on the roof of his apartment complex. With candles lit for a romantic ambience, you would lay down a blanket on the floor and bring a Tupperware of his favorite Spaghetti with meatballs and serve it with a modest helping of grated cheese over it. But the cutest moments were when he would wrap his arms around you as you sat back against his chest and fed him spoonfuls of home-made Chocolate Mousse for dessert.

Halifax Holiday - Why is The Bicycle Thief Italian?

Happenstance is a wonderful thing sometimes. The Bicycle Thief was on our short list of places to visit while in town, but we could not get a reservation at a time that worked for us. We also only had a loose lunch plan for Sunday, what with Nova Scotia’s fairly tight rules on Sunday opening hours and the other things we needed to fit in. After a visit to the Immigration Museum, we found ourselves walking along the waterfront and right in front of The Bicycle Thief. Might as well see if they have tables, right? Needless to say, they did.

The menu at The Bicycle Thief (PDF link) can be a little intimidating. It is large, many of the dishes have Italian names, and there’s just so much to suit so many tastes. Often with restaurants a large menu means nothing is exceptional, and although I wasn’t intimidated per se I did have a hard time choosing.

Completely against character, I started with the Insalata Verde: Butter lettuce, crisp pancetta, roasted pine nuts, creamy herb dressing, shaved pecorino. Everything about this was amazing, and that includes the lettuce. You know how hard it is for lettuce to be amazing? Despite having seen pecorino used many times this was my first time actually eating it, and I’m pretty sure I would just always use it instead of parmesan. It has a slightly milder flavour but manages to retain some sharpness. Just what this salad needed on top of the pancetta. The real star though was the herb dressing, made in-house. It was light and creamy but still thin enough to spread throughout, and didn’t fall into the “all rosemary all the time” trap that herb dressings often do. A great start that did what an appetizer should: wake the palette and get me salivating for more.

Sarah stayed a little more true to form with the Schiacciata: grilled flatbread, prosciutto di Parma, mission fig, toasted pecan & red onion marmellata, arugula and shaved parmigiano. While a touch tricky to eat with all the toppings piled on there, it all worked. The prosciutto was a little buried by the other flavours, especially the balsamic glaze, but it was still there trying to assert itself.

Look everyone, potato-quality photos are back! I really wish I could stop moving when I take them. Ignoring that, this was the tagliata steak: peppercorn crusted beef tenderloin, E.V. olive oil & aged balsamic drizzle, wild mushroom & onion sauté, with fries and green beans. Now I don’t want to be that guy, but traditionally tagliata is served on a bed of greens - often arugula, but sometimes mixed greens - and this clearly was not. The menu claimed it would be served rare but I would have put it at medium rare at best. I also couldn’t care less, because it was divine. The peppercorn crust added just enough flavour without overwhelming with heat, and finally I got a steak with a good hard sear on the outside to give the caramelization every good steak needs. I should point out that we started our meal on the patio, but the arrival of the main course before we had finished our starters led to a deluge of wasps. We had to move inside for our own safety, causing the mushroom and onion sautée to be slightly cool and congealed. While the wasps are beyond the restaurant’s control, the timing is decidedly not. It would not, fortunately, damage the flavour of the sautée at all. Sarah’s pistachio honey-crusted salmon was also amazing, but as it was not on her plate long enough to find out I will have to take her word for it!

This was one of the smartest desserts I have ever seen. A coconut semifreddo with a dark chocolate shell, rum-studded pound cake, caramelized fresh pineapple and grated coconut. I normally avoid coconut, but I really wanted to try a semifreddo and I adore cooked pineapple. The way this was presented was almost genius, though I would have made the coconut vertical to look like a tree trunk and added a couple more mint leaves. The pound cake was a little wet but everything else was excellent.

While not the best meal of our trip, this was easily the biggest and most satisfying surprise. Everything we ate was delicious, and there was so much on the menu that we want to try that going back seems like a must.
