THE DAILY WALKABOUT COLLECTION #14

Herbs, Plants, and Food Traditions For Health

Short-form stories shared at The Daily Cuppa from February 12th to 18th, 2022.

Snacking seems to be on the minds of our guides this week. JM’s herb of the week was the Vanilla bean which blends well with Nancy’s chocolate, and James’ ice cream pod tree — yummy.

Jane shared a plant, well, a tree that provided seeds for Indigenous Australians to snack on. The ‘cheezyish’ popcorn recipe Julie shared sounds like a healthy twist on my favorite snack.

This week's long-form find is an excellent recipe for authentic Hungarian Gulyás, the dish that inspired the home staple goulash. Arpad Nagy’s article is also a reminder for us to respect the roots of traditional dishes.

In our search for food traditions and ideas for home cooking for health, we must also dig in and discover our own family traditions.

Learning Food Traditions

I was carried away with delight when I found this video embedded within Arpad Nagy’s story of a recipe for true Hungarian goulash — not called goulash. Teaching the younger generations to fish for their food is as old as humankind.

I don’t fish. I teach gathering (now called foraging) and growing vegetables, herbs, and flowers. This video imparts the tradition of passing on skills related to our survival.

Vimeo video is the creation of Arpad Nagy. I included his buy-me-coffee at the end of this piece. I have a funny feeling he’ll use any contributions for his little fisherperson.

Featured long-form Article

Arpad Nagy’s article is a solid reminder that as we adapt recipes, we must give thanks and respect to the culture of origin.

I never made Hungarian goulash. I made german goulash with dumplings. I made depression goulash and many adaptations. I’m glad to have a recipe for true Gulyas.

Final Thoughts

‘Cheezyish’ popcorn is my favorite snack for the rest of winter. I can use the health boost from the nutritional yeast.

Vanilla beans, ice cream pod tree, a chili recipe with chicken or vegetarian, and so much more are delights for our collections.

We learned about the Brisbane Wattle tree that provided seeds for Indigenous Australians to snack on.

In our search for food traditions and ideas for home cooking for health, we discover our own family traditions and respect the traditions of others, as the article about Hungarian Gulyas so eloquently makes clear.

Thank you, dear readers and all our generous Walkabout writers, for your time joining in this celebration of plants, traditions, and healthy foods.

Join The Adventure

We’d love to have you join us.

Do you have stories from your family or cultural traditions? Do you grow food or forage? Do you have a special vegetable you like to grow?

My bias is that home cooking is better for our health than eating packaged food, so whatever food system you follow, we rejoice in stories about what you’re cooking.

What inspires you to grow your food, forage, and cook?

Come along with us on our walkabout.
