Butts Posted July 29, 2009 I fucking love food so much. My favorite foods are probably burritos, spicy ethiopian salads, all indian food, and hamburgers. Anyone else have foods that they like in particular? Beer is a very good lunch, and vodka makes a good snack. 0 Share this post Link to post
Super Jamie Posted July 29, 2009 Pasta. I once started out having "pasta week" where I ate nothing but pasta-based meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner for 7 days straight. I loved it so much it accidentally turned into pasta month. Heaps of other food. Hot curry, stir fry, roast vegetables, a big rare steak, burgers, fruit, sushi, pies, meatballs, pizza, yakitori. Yum yum yum yum yum! Food is also one of my favorite things. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted July 29, 2009 I'm very much into food. I do a lot of studying on what different foods and nutrients do to your body and so I end up keeping my health just through what I eat. Spicy foods to cure congestion, citrus and tea to cure colds, bananas and peanut butter to keep my muscles fit, etc. That said, I'm also a pretty good cook, or at least I take a lot of enjoyment from it. I always get overly excited when I do a new type of dish. My big goal right now is successfully making bread. That being said, I try to avoid as much fast food, packaged meals, and soda as possible, as it is terrible for you (I try to avoid caffeine, HFCS, sodium benzoate, and anything that is excessively salted...and that rules out most of that). I also avoid restaurants because they are expensive and usually worse than what I can make. Also, I work at one so I know too much about them. The main exception is asian food, which I love and haven't mastered yet. Especially sushi. Making sushi is one of my goals in life. Also, the whole experience of going to a sushi bar for rolls and sake. 0 Share this post Link to post
Super Jamie Posted July 29, 2009 I've been talking with my boss about sushi this week actually. Making it at home is probably one of the easiest things I've ever done. Sushi rice, sushi vinegar, some tuna and avocado and random vegetables. Easy! I agree the whole sushi shop thing is part of the charm, and I can't make it anywhere near as good as a good sushi restaurant. Teppanyaki (the japanese cooking style of many small meals with the food flying everywhere and participation from the diners in the cooking process) is probably the coolest restaurant experience evar. 0 Share this post Link to post

I need to know how to keep the fish clean, how to cook the rice properly, etc. Also, on the subject of Asian food, I was thrilled to find out how easy it is to make gyoza sauce. I don't actually know how to make gyoza from scratch, but if I get a hold of frozen stuff, I can make the sauce for it (it's 1 part rice vinegar, 1 part soy sauce...I used red wine vinegar and it turned out okay, but a little different). 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted July 29, 2009 I've yet to find Ice Cream, Pasta, Pizzas and Salamis that I didn't like. Very fond of cheese and chinese junk food, too. I wasn't called "The Discount King" for nothing. I also like tripe and patsas. 0 Share this post Link to post
pavera Posted July 29, 2009 I like anything that has to do with cheese, including blue cheese and cottage cheese. Toe cheese is an exception though, as that's generally just gross. 0 Share this post Link to post

What's funny is that I thought I felt good before, but it's sort of like you don't notice 'cause you're swimming in it. Cooking is also a hobby of mine. Asian food I've gotten pretty good at making. I routinely make beef bulgogi, gyudon, oyakodon, tonkatsu, and a few other dishes at home. One in particular is my "curry omelet", which is something I picked up from a restaurant in Japan. Really easy, it's just a mount of rice with a plain omelet on top, then the whole thing is covered with Japanese curry. I'm also hoping to get a takoyaki pan soon so I can start messing around with those. Overall I'd say my favorite is a tie between Japanese food and Mexican food. Specifically I love okonomiyaki and carne adobada, respectively. Edit: This is where I got the curry omelet idea (6th item down, "omuretsu karee"). 0 Share this post Link to post

40oz Posted July 29, 2009 I made macaroni and cheese the other day, and i cut up a bunch jalapenos into real tiny pieces and sprinkled them all over. I was so excited to have spicy mac and cheese, but the milk I used to make the mac n cheese with drowned out the spiciness of the jalapenos. I was crestfallen. I'll probably try making it again tomorrow with more jalapenos. Maybe some oregano too. 0 Share this post Link to post

Super Jamie Posted July 29, 2009 Chilli goes well with everything. I've reached the stage where my mouth can handle pretty much any chilli I throw at it, but once it hits my gut the complaints start as it burns away at my stomach lining :P There's a place near here that does "The World's Hottest Burger". I've been talking about going out there for ages. Krispavera said:I like anything that has to do with cheese, including blue cheese and cottage cheese.

Bank Posted July 29, 2009 I enjoy seafood supremely. In my youth we would often go out to the tidepools and catch buckets of Red Rock Crab and bring them back and eat them all that afternoon. As the years went on we eventually set up a crab trap for Dungeness Crab, but it was never the same as wading into the ocean with a paint bucket and a stick. The other day I spent 30 dollars on a crab in a restaurant, until that point I had never paid for it in my entire life. 0 Share this post Link to post

Doom_Dude Posted July 30, 2009 I love food. One of my favorite meals is a nice juicy steak with baked potato or fries... I absolutely love fresh pineapple and also grapes, apples, bananas. Oh and strawberries! Raspberries! Blackberries! Peaches! Pears! Tomatoes are aweshum. Every year I grow a few plants so I can have fresh tomatoes. Cheese.. love cheddar, mozarella and gouda. AS for cereal I love multi-grain cheerios and corn flakes. Some seafood I don't like but love shrimp, scallops and haddock. Fishcakes made from salt cod, onions and potatoes are delicious. I love Mexican chili and make my own. I like to spice it up with curry powder and other secret ingredients. :) Spaghetti, lasagne and pizza! I love salted cashews and roasted peanuts. Rice done up with some peppers and beef and a shot of soya sauce. Pepper steak stir fry! Sometimes it's hard to beat a good burger. There's a place not far away that makes a killer hamburger. Also like those frozen chicken burgers that are all white meat. I love those with mayo and lettuce. Donairs! Haven't had one in ages. Blueberry grunt. :D Cheesecake! Strawberry shortcake! Cake! Doritos! Peanut butter on toast! Scrambled or fried eggs and bacon! Roast beef, carrots, gravy, mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding... Geez I could go on and on. 0 Share this post Link to post

Super Jamie Posted July 30, 2009 Japanese chicken katsu curry. Also, Hare Krsna places seem to be fairly common worldwide. Like those hippy Indian people who make all the really cheap tasty vegetarian curry? Hopefully someone is doing a lunch run of that at work today. 0 Share this post Link to post
