What's your favourite Food?

Yes, Bodlover, people in America do eat pork brains- and other organ meats that I don't even like to think about. My husband is cajun, and typically, will eat almost anything- just make a gravy and cook it up. Not me, though, I am solid German descent and prefer things I can recognize! Just give me a good sauerbraten, or saurkraut and porkchops and I'm a happy camper!

Rocky Mountain Oysters are, to put it as delicately as possible... a male sheep or goats (I forget which) testicles.

My favorite foods would have to be steak, Cobb salad, and almost any fresh fruit.

I thought they were a bulls?

Food !!!!! I especially liked your list Debby the only things I would add, at the top, is HOT Mexican and Chocolate.
But everyones lists are great!!!
I don't remember seeing one of my other favs though - Peanut Butter/Banana Sandwitch!!

I am very finicky about food ! I don't like the way most people cook... I love my food cooked with olive oil/quality butter.

I like vegetables the most. Artichoke, leak, brocoli, green fava beans (which are very rare here in USA), celery ( the rooty one ), spinach & eggplant are my favorites !

I like chocolate but not all chocolate; the bitter it is the more I like. I love Nutella; I think they put something habit forming to it, cause I have friends who consume Nutella as much as I do ! My favorite ice cream is Godiva Belgian Dark Chocolate. I love turtle cheesecake & most desserts made with milk (mostly Turkish recipes).

I looove yogurt & ayran (Turkish yogurt + water + salt well shaken)!

I love grilled fish; sorry guys but fish in USA aren't as delicious as they are in Turkey I love calamari (also better in TR).

I love Chicken Flautas (Mexican) with verde sauce & most Italian dishes ( not the ones in Olive Garden ).

I love clementines & pomegranate.

Most vegetables/fruits look enourmously beautiful in USA but they are extremely tasteles

Dodo raises a good point, in that way too much food here in the U.S.A. lacks flavor. I've lived in the U.S.A. all my life, apart from time overseas in military service; and I must say the rise of yuppiedom has seen a decrease in food flavor nationwide. Just as the baby-boomer yuppies like bland colors (various shades of gray) and bland music (John Williams, Vivaldi), so too do they seem to crave bland food. Even many ready-made store-bought food products, which tasted great 30 years ago, now feature changed recipes and hence boring eating experiences.

To all the "health nuts" out there: I'm sorry, but I like fried food and I detest anything prepared in a micro-wave oven; neither do I appreciate all these "safe" cooking oils used by food-product manufacturers in their efforts to avoid cholesterol-related lawsuits. What, do the yuppies think wimpy recipies guarantee everlasting life? Food is supposed to taste good! I want the flavor back!

Mr Cat, I agree with you there. Everything I eat should be oily/buttery I love the "butter lovers" pop corn. Rice pilaf isn't rice pilaf if it's not cooked with butter (and if it's not jasmine rice also ). Vegetables should be cooked with enough oil. I like half & half for a cup of milk. I love yogurt with the most fat in it. I even eat butter alone occasionally .. I don't think that food cooked with little/no oil tastes good.

And yet I am 5" 6' & weigh 115 lb; no cholesterol or LDL etc. True for my family in TR also; they eat everything oily/buttery ,yet they aren't overweight. I think it's in our genes

Mediteranian kitchen uses olive oil a lot yet people have longer lives... Our bodies need fat for cellular activites (our brain for exp). And unsaturated fat (oil) is actually good for health..

Mr Cat, what's yuppiedom ??

Here's my definition of "yuppiedom." When Ronald Reagan became President of the United States in 1980, the so-called "baby boomers" — people born during the post-war period of 1946 through, say, 1954 or so — were coming of age vis a vis financial power. Many of them bought into the new "me generation" philosophy of abject selfishness which the new federal administration promoted. At that time, a term was coined for those me-generation baby boomers who held so-called "professional" jobs in cities: young urban professionals, or "yuppies." An entire code of conduct, dress, food, music, pastimes, et cetera, grew up around the yuppies. All things yuppie are thus often referred to as "yuppiedom."

The entire matter of political correctness, or behavior based upon dogma, has as its origins the self-righteousness of yuppiedom. The media of communication and academe are the two major establishments which promote political correctness, infused as they are with yuppies from the baby-boomer "me" generation. My dislike of yuppiedom has its origin in the Viet Nam War: The vast majority of yuppies were raised in middle-class households and thus escaped military service during that war, the burden of sacrifice falling on the working class. Even to this day, the yuppies refuse to visit that awful inequity; and they're still more than willing to send others to fight wars which inevitably provide financial reward to those who stay home: the middle-class yuppies, once again.

Gees Debby!! Im sorry love - but thats GROSS!!!! All I can say is EEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! :laughing:
(No offence meant love!!)

And Rocky Mountain "OYSTERS"!!???!!!! You should've been on "Fear factor" when they had to eat just plain boiled bulls testicles!! You'd have won!! ha ha ha ha..

Hmmm the most adventurous thing I've eaten is octopus, and a garlic snail (still in its shell!) I guess I've got a long way to go to catch up with you guys!! (Thanks Cleo and AP for the eloquent descriptions!! :laughing2 )

Mr.Cat, you say that gray is abundant because the yuppies like that. And I thought all the cars were gray for several years because all the car companies had gotten a great deal on gray paint. :laughing:

but I agree I like to be able to taste my food.

I like, chocolate, Pizza(olives and mushrooms YUMMY!), pecan pie, peanut butter toast, ice cream, any type of chicken or turkey, salads, frosted flakes, corn, green beans, potatoes, and fish (NOT long Johns though! :LOL:!)

Dodo, one of my biggest complaints here in west Kentucky is that the fruit all tastes like cardboard! As I was growing up in Florida, there was so much wonderful fruit...and when I visited Jamaica a couple of years ago I was in heaven the whole time because the fruit was soooooooo yummy. But, back here in Kentucky I don't even buy fruit any more because I know it will have no flavor. Sigh!

Oooooh...I forgot cajun food when I was giving my favorites before. I had a roommate from Louisiana who got me hooked on her wonderful cajun food. Also, low country cuisine (South Carolina) is way yummy. Shrimp and grits in tasso gravy is an all time favorite!


Mmmmmmm...I'm getting hungry!
