SixLinks: Steven Skoczen's Eat something weird

50 Basic Needs points

Steven's action: Eat something weird

A plant, specifically. Encourage the genetic diversity of food crops by demanding something odd that you wouldn't normally eat. If we all demand crops that are not one of the few common breeds, it will help prevent all of our food becoming the same variety of a few crops.

Note: If you're already doing this action, take a look through each of the steps and make sure you haven't missed anything. If all's well, go ahead and check off all the boxes, then go start something new!

Step 1: Find a plant you have never tried before

This can be a whole new type of plant or just a different breed of common plants. For example, did you know there are hundreds of different kinds bananas? read more

My current plan is to go to Whole Foods (since they're likely the most sustainable place to get said weird plant, and leave with something I've never seen and have no idea how to prepare, and a few packages of their local flour tortillas, which are god-like.

Then, I plan to figure out what I just bought, and how exactly I can prepare it so it's tasty. :)

Step 2: Buy it and look up how to prepare it read more

You should be able to find a recipe for just about anything after a little Googling.

Step 3: Repeat this process at least once a month read more

Try something new at least once a month. Once you've done it twice, you can check this off, but keep doing it.

All Done!
