Well, I like milk, pizza, and I think i'll like halo-halo. I'm sorry, but I have to go out for a while, so keep this thread alive!

Tofu! It's awesome!

Steamed Broccoli.

oooh.... too many to list.

pizza, pasta, bolognese, lasagne, roast chicken, chips (british), tasty crisps, indian, chinese... lots more...

Honestly? Probably ostrich meatballs in a tomato, garlic, oregano and chilli sauce. Seriously, it was awesome. Fried octopus wasn't bad either, but the suction cups got stuck in my teeth.

Pizza, pasta, pancakes and steak (preferrrably ostridge or kangaroo)

Raw oysters, foie gras, truffled things, crab, lobster, sushi/sashimi, french dishes, dim sum, fresh pasta, gnocchi, preserved fish, bread pudding.

anything that gives me gas:rolleyes:

Burritos are the best food ever. Everything is better in burrito form. All hail the burrito, the best food delivery system on earth.

Tarmosalata, tzatziki, tom ka gai, yum nuur, liver and onions, lobster, cold sesame noodles, any kind of seafood, filet mignon, raw carrots (not cooked carrots)... and lots more.

Pasta and seafood....Preferably together (Shrimp Alfredo...Yum :D )

Probably Northern Italian, in general terms. And I don't mean way up in the Alps, which is basically German-esque, nor would I necessarily include the Veneto region and others in the far northeast.

The problem in choosing is that the Italian cuisine is so fragmented...so regional...so local...right down to the city-town-village-cucina.

It's all good, though. Unbelievably good...

Anything with so much spice it is likely to kill you. Indian, Mexican. Wow.

I'm very fond of italian food and I'm lucky because my country's gastronomy is extremely diversified, so my favorite food is mainly portuguese :)

I <3 Meat-Lover's Pizza.

Three words:

I LUV SPAGHETTI.

Despite being a food-lover in general, I've decided my absolute favorite above all else has to be cheescake.

and I think i'll like halo-halo
You think you'll like it? When are you having it?

I have too many favourite foods to list them all. Among those at the top of the list: lumpia (well, not all lumpia, just the way it's made in my family), crab, salmon (smoked or otherwise), crub, vol-au-vent, tofu, (green) mango, lefse, good fresh bread, honey nut cheerios, biltong, pizza (of the Italian variety), French brie, crepes, gyoza, sashimi, rosti, tzatziki, couscous, pineapple rice... I could go on and on.

These threads always make me hungry. :(

Inspired by this thread, I just cooked a pizza from scratch :D

Out of curiosity, where are you from, and why are you looking for a halo-halo recipe? Or is it a specific recipe? I'm just wondering because when I try to describe halo-halo to just about anyone that isn't Filipino, no one ever wants to try it. Most of them think it sounds pretty gross, actually.

Look up Halo: Combat Evovled, or better yet, Halo: Combat Just Got More Gory.

Raw Fish.

Raw Fish.

Errr...Sushi? Or perhaps you have a different way of eating it...

Mostly Nigiri. Though I wouldn't say no to a slab of raw salmon...

Not difficult and much better than most other options...and try it on the bbq grill sometime! Brilliant!

Meatloaf with potatoes, pees, carrots & sauce. Mmh-mmh!

Just for your information, meatloaf is called Falscher Hase (="fake rabbit") in Germany.

http://www.myhouseandgarden.com/recipes/images/meatloaf.jpg

my favorite-favorite?

Loaded fries- seasoned french fries, topped with melted cheese, bacon, chives, sour cream.... yum *drools*

my favorite that I can actually have on my diet?

fat free sugar free lactose free orange sorbet (but I can only have a 1/4 cup)

I'd have to say pizza.

fat free sugar free lactose free orange sorbet (but I can only have a 1/4 cup)

that is alot of "free's" :p

i like steak, cooked medium, with peppers, onions and mushrooms and A-1 sauce. served with a baked potato with butter and sourcream... *licks lips*

that is alot of "free's" :p
yeah, what can I say, the less your food has in it, the less food it is (or something that makes sense, you decide)

my kids' birthday cakes that I make for them are wheat free, rye free, barley free, oat free, nut free, egg free, lactose free, casien free, soy free, chocolate free carob cakes.

They taste like chocolate cake. (of course after I add the frosting they now have sugar, and fat, and lactose and casien, but I really only needed the gluten free, but you gotta go all the way I guess)

Hmmm, tough choice. I love a lot of foods but most are fairly unhealthy and greasy and I usually end up feeling guilty after (just don't want to ruin this awesome bod' I have goin' man). But my favourite semi-good for you food would be BBQ shrimp in peanut sauce.

Really? That must be one amazing recipe you have. :p

almost all Japanese food, Indian food and Chinese food as long as it's from one of these 2 REALLY good places in NYC, my grandma's homemade brisket, anything coffee flavored, anything I ate in Italy, pineapple, my dad's strawberry smoothies, hatian chicken wings, grapefruit, really small/expensive french yogurts...Come on, you can't possibly expect me to list everything!

Really? That must be one amazing recipe you have. :p
it's actually a mix, the top ingredient is tapioca flour and then a bunch of other herbs, it's actually sugar free too, as it's sweetened with stevia.

I am not really sure that it actually does taste like chocolate cake, it's been about 2 years since any of us have had any chocolate cake, so maybe it tastes like crap. However, the kids at both of their birthdays last year seemed to eat it fine, but I didn't tell them what was in it (or rather what wasn't in it)

Just out of curiosity, what the hell is meatloaf anyway? [/possibly incredibly stupid question] We don't have it here in Australia. Is it just beef?
KFC is the world's best food. My favourite meat is lamb.

If the kids can't tell the difference... What brand is the mix, if you don't mind me asking? I have a friend on a very restricted diet, who might be interested.

Oh wait, you're the guys who don't eat hotdogs either.

I'd say Veal (parmigiana or steak), Ribs, Lamb, Chicken in a biscuit crakers and mashed potatoes

you dont know what meatloaf is? :eek: read this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatloaf

i think its great. meatloaf, mashed potatoes and macaroni is a perfect meal...:D

:eek:

what? there are people that dont eat hotdogs???? *shakes head* whats the world coming to? :(

:cool: :mad: :eek: Whats the point of this thread? :upyours: :sniper: :headbang: :mp5: :gundge: :fluffle:

(This coming from the guy who loaded their post with smiley spam...)

The point of this thread is to discuss the various cuisines throughout the world and those who take great pride in such delicacies.

Can't think of one favorite. I like ceviche, salmon, fresh tuna, steak-medium rare, artichokes, asparagus, lobster, shrimp, ...

I think the short list would work better - things I don't like - okra, black-eyed peas, catfish, crawfish, beef tongue, a god-awful Pennsylvania Dutch thing called head cheese that seems to be comprised of everything left over after sausage making, poi. Oh, and, while I like lamb in general, lamb the way the head cook of my guild at Faire makes it is vile.

:eek:

Oh wait, you're the guys who don't eat hotdogs either.

Lol, wtf? We eat hotdogs here all the time. Except with proper sausages, not with the weird rubbery pink ones you have over there in US :p .

Uh, yeah, yes we do have meatloaf in Australia.

@ Everyone else: Where did you hear we don't have hotdogs? :confused: We do.

Some newspaper article is where I heard it. The writer had moved to Australia for a few years and when asked to come over to a barbecue she brought hot dogs. When she got there everyone looked at her as if she had brought dog food or something.

My sister also spent 4 months in New Zealand and they don't have rice crispy squares!?!

I have many favorite foods, but if I had to pick one, it would be sushi. Or maybe cookies.

So, then I guess sushi with cookies. Yeah, instead of the rice, you have raw cookie dough!!! It would be perfect!!!



Or not, I guess...

Boiled brussels sprouts. ;)


Truthfully, it'd probably be something like a lamb souvlaki or raspberries.

If the kids can't tell the difference... What brand is the mix, if you don't mind me asking? I have a friend on a very restricted diet, who might be interested?
The "brand" I use is actually local (this lady makes it in her outbuilding actually) but Cause you're special (http://www.glutenfreemall.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=78) makes a pretty good one (although it's rather expensive, it's $12 for a mix here) but it has chocolate and calls for eggs, however you can replace the eggs with apple sauce and it tastes the same.

MUSHROOMS! I love mushrooms! Mushrooms pwn! Here's a question...what's your favorite type of alcohol? I LOVE BEER!

Boiled brussels sprouts. ;)


ewww...

Thanks for the tip. I'll pass it along to my friend.

Meatloaf is mostly homemade, I don't think I've seen places that sell it...

I can see the confusion. Barbeques are not where we eat hot dogs. Barbeques are mostly sausages and hamburgers or steak...

Also, what are rice crispy squares? :D

I have a few:

-Panna cotta w/ raspberries and blueberries
-Aloo ka saag
-Toasted bagel w/ cream cheese
-Popsicles
-Keylime pie
-Borscht w/ dumplings
-Creme brulee
-Spinach salad w/ mandarin oranges and raspberry vinaigrette dressing

Bagel's with cheese manage to top your favorite foods list! Wow. Does it cause some trippy effect for you? cuz for most people it is nothing special....

It isn't anything special, but I enjoy it. Thats why its one of MY favourite foods.

EDIT: And adding lox and capers to the bagel makes it even better, yummmm.

looks interesting. hows it taste?

Absolutely wonderful, especially with coconut chutney.. :) I don't know how to explain the taste. You would have to try it yourselves.

There are many types of dosas. Roasts, paper roasts, masala dosas, butter dosas, karaikudi dosas, set dosas etc.

Visit a nearby south Indian restaurent. North Indian types usually don't make the best dosas.

Super Burrito!!!

Bow down!

Uh, yeah, yes we do have meatloaf in Australia.

@ Everyone else: Where did you hear we don't have hotdogs? :confused: We do.

Yep, we definitely have meatloaf here in Aus. My girlfriend made it for dinner on Tuesday night. It was good too.

"What's YOUR favorite food?"

Wow! I have so many "favorite foods!" :)

Actually, if I HAD to pick, I would say the traditional Southern US foods are my favorites: Southern fried chicken, collard greens, black-eyed peas, cornbread with country butter, pinto beans with chopped onions, country ham, smashed 'taters with red-eye gravy and a huge, cold glass of buttermilk to wash it all down.

And some peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream for desert!

YUM! :D

Hmm....yes....I see....unusual....

I think I just....noticed....something....over there -------->

*runs*

A Cobb Salad COVERED in Balsamic Vinegarette and no tomatoes.
Oh! and no core. Bleh..

What are collard greens? Is it a mix of green veggies?
nope. If I remember correctly they are a cabbage like plant, cooked up like spinach. They are really good (although I haven't had any since my grandma died :() she used to grow it in her garden and cook it with beans (pintos) fried potatoes (mushier than french fries) and corn bread.

now I am hungry.... and nostalgic.... :(

Cheese. :)


For preference, soft goat's cheese, or deep-fried camembert (with a cranberry jam) http://www.easi.net.nz/images/homer.gif

What are collard greens? Is it a mix of green veggies?
No. Collards (http://www.du.edu/~jcalvert/personal/collards.htm) are a type of leafy green vegetable. They need to be cooked slowly for several hours to make them palatable, preferably with a chunk of fatback to add flavor. :D

Me too, hon. Sigh! :(

Sashimi. Might have to go out and get some now.

Chocolate covered strawberries.

Well, I like milk, pizza, and I think i'll like halo-halo. I'm sorry, but I have to go out for a while, so keep this thread alive!
Artichokes.

Steamed Broccoli.




*vomits*

galletes, specifically, ham egg and cheese galletes. (You can't beat a 3 course meal of pancakes)

Anything non-seafood Mexican or Italian. Or a well cooked steak. Or a well cooked hamburger.

Steamed Broccoli.
:eek:

I was thinkin' the same thing when I saw Steamed Broccoli, but I decicded to *vomit*.;)

Chocolate covered strawberries.
I make them :)

And my favorite food is something I got in Philly.. spanduka.. or something.. it's Greek.

yes well, I had to use the Seinfeld quote. It's mandatory.

Eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, grits, biscuits, and chedder hash browns.

Or maybe a perfect burger, topped with fried onions and a side of fries.

Or maybe just cheese and bacon fries.

Or maybe just a 2 liter bottle of Coke and saltines..

Lasagna, chinese food, fried chicken, cheesecake, chocolate, McDonalds french fries

Green eggs & ham.

Thai food.

Cilantro, lemongrass, garlic, peanut sauce, rice noodles, chilis, MMM! It's gotta hold you down and tickle you! If it ain't spicy, it ain't worth eatin'.

Crap on toast.

7. Kao ob sapparod (http://siamsq.com/images/Kao%20Obsapparod.jpg)

Langostas. My favourite appetizer. They're unique to El Provencio, Spain, in the provence of Cuenca [autonomous region of Castilla la Mancha] and they consist of thinly sliced potatoes fried and then washed with olive oil, mixed with garlic and vinigar. They are... delicious... but as they say in El Provencio, don't expect to kiss any girls that night either.

red beans and yellow rice with sasuage.

Nothing beats SUSHI. Sushi is the greatestest!!! And second to that would be pasta. Drink-wise I prefer some taro bubble tea (Taiwanese invention).

and roasted red peppers/asparagus.

I also love lamb.

Spaghetti, marinara pizza & sushi - especially with soy sauce. *Drools*

I LOVE WATER.

Anything that comes from the ocean, cheese, all chinese foods, fried plantains, and...


C h o c o l a t e !!!

i like biscuits and chocolate and pizza and beer and steak pie and bangers & mash and gravy and thai curry and chilli and other food.

Mmm, food :D

Currently, the Jalapeno Thickburger at Hardees. Mmmm, mmm. :D

Mine varies wildly. Occasionally ,like yesterday for example I crave things that I normally dont like.

Yesterday it was a fried egg sammich with catsup. I normally only like eggs scrambled and without catsup at all. But I follow my cravings. It may be years before I want another fried egg sammich with catsup.

Two other things which I dont normally like but occasionally have big cravings for are oatmeal and coleslaw.

:eek:

Oh wait, you're the guys who don't eat hotdogs either.

yes we do, though we don't have relish, we have ketchup on them

Anything with oats in, and as an exception to that, fish and chips. Although I also like vegetable balti.

According to a book I read, there are no junk foods, just junk diets.

that's good considering the amount of junk food I've had today.

That reminds me, I need to meet my junk food requirement for today. To the vending machine!

The best food of all:

REAL homemade icecream. NOT the half/half stuff. The kind that uses REAL cream, REAL eggs.
