Question Of The Day, Wednesday, Aug 23, 2017

If you were an item of food, what food would you be? Now, not just "a carrot," make this an entree. Oh, all right, it can be a side dish or a dessert or appetizer, but more than just "a carrot."

I'd like to think that I'm a shepherds' pie. Several very different things that combine to make a warm, satisfying, comforting whole. Stuff that will nourish you, but that soothe the soul. I worry that I'm more my mother's pot roast, pretty much the same ingredients, but a bit overcooked and dry.

Hmmmm...interesting question. Maybe a good red wine....or a chocolate chip cookie.

 

[neely]

I'd love to say scones but know that's not an entree and unsure if that counts as a side dish. However, it definitely soothes my soul.

Cool question. I would say I'm chicken nachos with sliced habanero peppers. If you don't like spicy food you can pick around the peppers fairly easy. If you want something spicier you can eat everything. Just be careful because if it's too hot and you need a glass of milk it might not be available...lol

 

[Alejandra Rico]

Mmmm... I would say I am a dark chocolate mousse with raspberries, sweet and bitter at the same time, soft airy texture and intense flavour and scent.

I don't want to be food. That's why I stay out of the ocean.

My first instinct was to say a Lasagna. I don't really know why though. Maybe spaghetti and meatballs is more like it? With a side salad and some garlic bread. Can I be more than one dish at a time? (That may be the oddest question I have ever asked... )

 

[Fyrekit(Proud Cat Mommy)]

I...would have to say that usually I'm like my favorite recipe for rhubarb cream cake, rich creamy with a brittle sugary crust and just the tiniest bit of sour. Right now something overly salty and slightly bitter with some spice to it as well since I'm dealing with idiot drivers hitting innocent fur babies because they are either drunk or don't like their color.

Pizza.

You may be as many dishes at one time as you would like to be. Which may be the oddest answer I've ever given

In that case I'll also be a cheesecake for dessert.

the only thing that comes to my mind is a peanut butter and sweet bread & butter pickles sandwich. i'd actually very happily be one of those!

I want to be rich and decadent, so I want to be the Bayou Goo pie I had at House of Pies. A crisp, flaky crust. Then a layer of crisped pecans and cream cheese. Next, layers of vanilla and chocolate custard. Finally, huge mounds of real whipped cream with chocolate shavings and powdered sugar.

This is off topic but when you mentioned House of Pies I thought of Houston TX and the Hurricane. Stay safe.

 

[Mamanyt1953]

And again off topic, Harvey is downgraded but still VERY dangerous!

You nailed the location, so I'd guess you spent some time here. We're completely hunkered down here and safe so far, although the worst is supposed to come on Monday. I wish I had a whole one of those pies in the fridge - or maybe a couple. Those things are bodacious.

Come to think of it, if I were one, I'd be eaten in a trice, so maybe not.

Candle lit for all of you!
