Food From Erik Wander, your About Food Editor Friday is "Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day." The idea, according to wellcat.com, is to seal in a "homey odor" as we seal up our homes and hunker down for winter. Some have interpreted the "bold" part to mean "daring," so in addition to strong flavors and powerful aromas, we're also celebrating the spirit of trying something new. Moroccan Slow Roasted Lamb Moroccan cuisine would seem to fit the flavor interpretation of "bold," but while leg of lamb may not sound as daring as heart kebabs or steamed sheep's head, traditional Mechoui should qualify.

But try three-and-a-half ounces of grated horseradish root as the foundation for your soup stock, and you're stepping into bold territory. Mix in some sour cream, and don't forget the crispy bacon for a flavorful finish.
