What-You-Eat Wednesday

Welcome to round two of What-You-Eat Wednesday, where I feature a mystery product, usually diet related.

But first, I wanted to show you a clip of Anthony Bourdain's visit to Tuscany on his show, No Reservations. I just think it's an interesting snap shot of the difference between American and Mediterranean food ideals.  The part of the video I really want you to see is him cooking for some locals, including who I'm sure is his future wife at the time, and their reaction to his westernized take on their food. It appears at about 10 minutes and 50 seconds. I'm posting a whole 15 minutes or so of video, because I'm not too sure where I can edit a video, but also because I love No Reservations, and think some of you might enjoy watching the rest of the clip. Parts two and three of the episode can easily be found on youtube.  Enjoy, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.



Here's this week's mystery food:




WHOLE GRAIN OATS, ENRICHED FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMIN MONONITRATE [VITAMIN B1], RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN B2], FOLIC ACID), WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, SOYBEAN OIL (WITH TBHQ AND CITRIC ACID FOR FRESHNESS), HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, SOLUBLE CORN FIBER, SUGAR, CALCIUM CARBONATE, WHEY, WHEAT BRAN, SALT, CELLULOSE, POTASSIUM BICARBONATE, CINNAMON, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES, SOY LECITHIN, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, WHEAT GLUTEN, CORNSTARCH, NIACINAMIDE, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, CARRAGEENAN, ZINC OXIDE, REDUCED IRON, GUAR GUM, PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B6), THIAMIN HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B1), RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), FOLIC ACID.  HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CORN SYRUP, APPLE PUREE CONCENTRATE, GLYCERIN,  SUGAR, WATER, SODIUM ALGINATE, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, MALIC ACID, METHYLCELLULOSE, CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, CINNAMON, CITRIC ACID, CARAMEL COLOR.

  3. I too think its a nutrigrain bar! I don't really like them.

    Love Anthony Bourdain. He was just here in Singapore, and I saw him at the mall filming while riding the escalator. It was funny to see him in all his filming glory.
