To me the greatest meal you could have is a big, juicy steak cooked medium rare, with a big baked potato with butter and a cold beer...perfection.

But I also love Italian, Mexican, and Chinese food.

For some reason I had feeling you'd like that type of meal!
It does sound good though, except that cold beer part.

Hehe yeah I am your stereotypical guy I guess. Just give me some red meat, point me to a grill, and I am in heaven

I weigh 115 lbs and I honestly don't know what to say... These days it seems as if I'm eating less and less. So I could actually be THINNER than 115 by now...

I want some more variety in asian cooking... not like that stuff wheere almost everything is coated in teriyaki sauce, but something that has more variety and flavor... like something really hot... Hmm... General Tso's chicken *drools*
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: bgrugby on February 19, 2007, 01:03:02 PM
Ohh yeah General Tso's chicken is my favorite Chinese cuisine, especially when it is really spicy.

Well, it depends how old your sister is 'cause her tastebuds coud still be developing.

Oh, well then she's probably just picky.
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: bgrugby on February 19, 2007, 02:00:15 PM
Well I didn't really like Chinese food or Mexican food until I was much older. Alot of times kids just won't try new things because they stick with what they like.
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: Baka Nezumi on February 19, 2007, 02:02:13 PM
Well, I didn't. When I was 10-11 I actuallytried and liked escargot. It was good.
Title: Re:favorite foods?

that is so like my sister, she "hates" everything she hasnt tried.
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: phantompig on February 19, 2007, 04:25:37 PM
favorite meal....oysters with hot sauce to start things off...then...a nice seafood pasta medley with lots of clams...then white mountain bread dipped in the juices of clams....delicious.

You could say I have a thing for seafood...
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: raymundo on February 19, 2007, 04:30:00 PM
Sushi,procchutto,Tuna,and spicy food,
just that no meat except for salami,bacon,and procchutto.

I am so lucky, at my Monday Night Bible study group my aunt and Grandma make dinner every night. They are really good cooks of Japanese, hawaiin, and a bunch of other kidns of food.
Title: Re:favorite foods?

Grilled lamb, onions, and green bell peppers, or roasted sweet potatoes. Or um, mushy peas with vinegar.
Strips of sticky dried banana with black coffee and cinnamon.
Coconut milk over sticky rice. Mochi daifuku! Korean-style spicy squid jerky.
And um...anything cake-y and sweet. You know what?! I want Paula Deen to come live with me and make me desserts. I'd gain 50 billion pounds, but it'd be oh-so heavenly.

:3 I'm kinda easy to please.

I also have really trashy taste. It's like a guilty secret, but I saw a picture of one of those "hillbilly wedding cakes" things (a tower of Little Debbie/Hostess snacks, essentially) and I've been pining over it ever since. Ha.

what did it look like?
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: bgrugby on February 19, 2007, 08:05:37 PM
It did not look bad, the wedding was nice but it was cheap the recpetion was held in a VFW hall and it was just plain cheap...which is why a 19 and 20 year old should not marry.
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: DW on February 19, 2007, 08:27:39 PM
my dad went to a cheesy wedding where they had the best men, bridesmaids, parents, and everything else come out of tunnels and be announced like football players.
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: bgrugby on February 19, 2007, 08:30:12 PM
Haha tunnels? I never saw that, when I was a groomsman for my sister's wedding we of course waited outside the reception hall and were introduced individually with our partner which is normal, but I have never seen a tunnel used.

Post by: DW on February 19, 2007, 08:36:26 PM
No I mean they did the whole Superbowl deal, announcer in a booming voice, they came out jumping and stuff, and the audience was supposed to cheer and clap...then at the reception they made them wait three hours to eat, because they had a schedule and wanted to talk a lot.

Ok lets get back on topic about food, mostly because I am fighting the urge to put DFP in their place.

One food I could not understand people really liking is ham. Alot of people seem to love it and I have to endure it every Easter. But to me its not a real meat...meat should not be sweet. What is the appeal?
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: DW on February 19, 2007, 08:53:54 PM
there is more to it. no, they just thought it would be funny and unique. It nosedived
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: Hi no Seijin on February 19, 2007, 08:57:15 PM
Eh, I just like ham. :)

Although, it can't be deli thin.  No meat should be that thin. *shudders*

I agree, bacon's good though!

Bacon!

Seriously though, I like bacon.  I even put it on my grilled cheese sandwiches.  That's goood stuff.
Title: Re:favorite foods?

Yeah pork is a weird product to me. I absolutely hate ham and pork chops but love bacon and ribs.
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: darkphantomime on February 20, 2007, 05:51:21 AM
What about Turkey sandwiches? I love them. They're the only sandwiches I'll eat, unless it's a BLT. OF course, I mean HOMEMADE sandwich...

I put
Turkey
Swiss (deli style)
Lettuce
Tomatoe
Mayo
Garlic powder (on the mayo)
Olive Oil (again, on the mayo)
And toast Whole grain bread, with salt and pepper over the lettuce and tomato.
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: collaboration on February 20, 2007, 07:03:43 AM
Wow, you hate pork chops? Did you have a bad pork chop experience? :D I like them on a coal grill, but otherwise they're too tough or have the nasty uric piggy flavour.

I forgot to mention: tomato sandwiches, with either mayo or cream cheese, and a little tomaten gewürzsalz and pepper. Mmmm. The talk of sandwiches reminded me.

I am not a fan of fast food, I mean it's nice, but i feel awful afterwards.

I feel like having a creme egg...

Sadly fast food is the only option for me on many nights when I have to work from 7-3 and then book to my class at 5-8, the only option is to grab some fast food on the way from the school I teach at to the college I take classes at.

well, at least fresh is better than fast food withg all that greasy fat. What about Wendy's?
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: bgrugby on February 21, 2007, 06:55:36 PM
Haha how the heck did I do that? Oh well

And Wendy's is fast food, it is just as fattening as McDonalds and BK, and I will NEVER eat there. I worked a little bit there when I was 15 and it is truely disqusting...especially what they put in the chili  ;)
Title: Re:favorite foods?

The finger thing is nothing compared to what I have seen and done. Lets just say this, if any meat fell on the floor, expect it in your chili hehe.

You know what's weird though? When I look at the health inspection ticket, they always have scores of OVER 100. WTF?! OVER 100?! Must've given them a REALLY biig curve because of a bribe...

What about the spicy Chicken?  :D :D :D :D :D :D
Title: Re:favorite foods?
Post by: bgrugby on February 22, 2007, 06:18:48 PM
Well they probably clean the place up like crazy before the inspector comes cause it is usually dirty as heck, especially during lunch rush, things are flying everywhere.

Spicy is fine, that is actually the only thing I get from there. Although I do prefer the Burger King one more.
