The Paleo Goes Gourmet


First Course: Romaine salad with Farmer Fresh yellow and orange tomatoes, served with my favorite sesame dressing. Paired with cheap champange.


Main Course: New York steak, cooked to order (by the birthday house guest who likes them ruined,... I mean, well done), blanched and sauted Farmer Fresh carrots and green beans, mashed potatoes and onions. Paired with cheap red wine (Charles Shaw!!).

Dessert: Almost Paleo dessert with Breyer's Brand ice cream, both chocolate and vanilla, topped with fresh raspberries and almonds.

Except for the dessert, this was high level paleo service.

  1. FYI, potatoes (mashed or otherwise) are not paleo.

  2. Thank you Anonymous. I'm shocked that such a "brave" Paleo expert is somehow able to identify potatoes are on the list of no-no's but then is either too lazy or too stupid to realize that so too are green beans.

    You know what would be fun? If you keep going through my recipes and start pointing out things like how vinegars are corrupting my health. Or how all nightshades are bad and we can start cutting out tomatoes and cayenne pepper too!

    Although I appreciate constructive criticism, please at least be thorough, complete, reasoned, etc. with your comments. Also, please finish reading the Paleo Diet, and please read The Paleo Diet for Athletes. Although you seem to be able to read from a list (and almost finish it!), it also seems clear that you are incapable of identifying purpose and context in a more comprehensive manner.

    And thanks for clarifying the mashed or not mashed point too, everyone knows that is where we all get hung up on eating well: whether we mash or not makes all the difference. Genius!
