What your favorite paleo food that you love without any seasoning, cooked or raw?

For example I love a properly seared rare steak without seasoning and I think a simple baked sweet potato is decadent.

 It tastes better when my hair smells like smoke. Just an aesthetic thing. Is that considered a flavoring though? – Happy Now Sep 16 2011 at 21:30

 I think a campfire is just a cooking method. Definitely qualifies. – vdh1979 Sep 16 2011 at 21:36

Sear me up a ribeye and... that's it. I don't need a side. Just GINORMOUS RIBEYE!

I think I just drooled a little.

Bone marrow from lamb or beef - something about it just makes me go crazy with pleasure! Love fishing out the marrow from my baked lamb shoulder chops, or slurping the huge marrow from a beef shin in osso bucco....

I have yet to try bone marrow. But I certainly plan to! – vdh1979 Sep 17 2011 at 0:08
I second the bone marrow! – henny Sep 17 2011 at 0:18
Marrow without salt? – ben61820 Sep 17 2011 at 1:36

 I could eat the marrow plain, but usually it's really good at soaking up the taste/aroma any marinade/spices you are using. I usually use a dry spice rub on the lamb chops, and after they've baked the marrow comes out nice and flavourful. Same for the osso bucco - after spending some time in the slow cooker with tomato and veggies, paprika and a bit of bacon/spek for smokiness :) – Grottenolm Sep 17 2011 at 4:52

Scallop Ceviche (just lime juice) with a homemade habanero pico de gallo (I do season this sometimes but it is flavorful with just the veggies and lime juice too).

or

Raw chicken with a side of guacamole (same, does not require seasonings). I also add raw milk blue cheese as a side sometimes.

or

Beef tartare with just raw egg, fresh garlic, onion, and some peppers. Good wrapped in a lettuce leaf.

Sorry I could not pick just one...love them all the same just like my sons.

That sounds wonderful though I've not been brave enough for raw chicken. – vdh1979 Sep 17 2011 at 0:09

Raw salmon sashimi. No seasoning required. I also adore raw green beans, I munch on them mindlessly like potato chips. They don't seem to bother my IBS like other fibre does.
