eG Foodblogs: Coming Attractions

Our next blogger will be starting on Monday the 20th. Here are some images to get you thinking.

Note: This is a current photo

Yogurt and the source of saffron? Do we have any Persians here?

[JeanneCake]

That looks like a crocus poking through; my guess is that it is somewhere on the southern part of the Atlantic seaboard? Is Yoplait yogurt available nationally or just the Northeast? I've only just started seeing Yoplait Greek style yogurt in the Boston area in the last few weeks/months.

Fage is distributed from New York or manufactured under license there?

[Hassouni]

That's definitely a crocus - hence source of saffron

Not the right kind saffron crocus?

[Hassouni]

I dunno, it looks pretty similar to that

[Anna N]

Suspect it is a sign of spring rather than a source of saffron - would like to see fields of same to be convinced otherwise.

[JeanneCake]

It looks like the kind of crocus that pops up in my front yard; but usually they don't come up until the middle of March; I was thinking someone further south would start seeing them now.....

[Hassouni]

Here's a picture of one. I'm not very botanically-minded. Maybe it's just my main association with crocuses is saffron! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3093/3351516835_5560e6e786.jpg

And the blogger has this:

[Keith_W]

He's Australian. I spy a Yalumba bottle cap. nickrey?

[ChrisTaylor]

We export loads and loads of wine from the big companies like Yalumba. I think this person is American. I mean, Google that 'Fage' yoghurt ...

Definitely not Canadian (which the crocus would hint at West coast this time of year) because there isn't any French on the yogurt containers.

Good one, Dr. Beal.

[Hassouni]

Also, re: crocuses, it's the wrong time of year down under for that

Nope, not me. When are you going to blog Keith?

[andiesenji]

If it is a saffron crocus, they do not flower until autumn.

I have six and they usually bloom here in late October. In Santa Barbara they bloom about a month earlier.

The leaves in the photo look a little wider than on my plants.

And the blogger has this:

The bottle with the H is Hogue Cellar brand, a WA winery and there are several from Napa Valley area as well. I'm guessing CA area blogger.

Chezcherie?

Would love to have a week of her food, but no...

[heidih]

Any thoughts before I post the last image?

[heidih]

OK here we go - last image:

[JeanneCake]

Ok, who has a copy of Modernist Cuisine, lives somewhere in the East (south of Boston, because of the blooming crocus), has a wok, and eats Greek yogurt? All I can come up with is LindaK but she's here in the Boston area. Maybe she has a warm spot in her yard for the crocus....

[heidih]

Not Linda
