I’m starting to eat foods that begin with a C or fall into a C category. I call it my C Diet.

There are a lot of foods that begin with C, not so much D, F, E, or T.

The lonely C became known in school as the grade of mediocrity. You could pass comfortably with a C average but are typically limited in the ability to excel academically. I say let’s elevate the C to a higher standard giving it more credit.

C is the only letter leading the alphabet with the most food or food groups. Interestingly enough, the Guinness Book of World Records does not acknowledge this fact.

Here is a tribute to the Culinary use of the letter C.

At first, I started working with the six most common culinary words beginning with C:

• Caffeine
• Carbs
• Cattle
• Chicken
• Cabernet
• Chocolate

There is a wide variety of dishes that can be created with these six categories. But when I gave the topic more serious thought, my brain kicked into high gear.
