I could go with almost any kind of fried rice dish almost anytime of day. Gourmet, cheap, chinese, japanese, thai, beef, vegetable, cat, whatever.

What I can't understand is overly spicy dishes of any kind and the people who love them. I see people gorging themselves on the really hot stuff, saying "wow this stuff is awesome" while at the same time they're coughing and hacking with fluids running out of every orifice in their head ala Scanners.

I LOVE spicy food. I can't explain it...there's a pleasure/pain threshold that one hovers on I guess. It's just good. The aftermath can sometimes be less pleasant, but damned if I don't go load up on the salsa or sriracha anyway.

I don't understand lima beans.

Eat every day:

Toss up between Almond Chicken Soo Gui (breaded chicken with Almond gravy) or the open-ended egg-rolls you buy at the Ruby Inn on the ass-end of Bank street (near/on the corner of Wakley) in Ottawa.

Don't understand:

Eggs, when they aren't part of some other dish or an ingredient in baking.

Baked Ruffles is the greatest comfort food outside of the Phantom Zone.

I don't get sushi. If you're not a humanoid rat who teaches turtles ninjitsu, why would you eat that shite?

sriracha is the gold standard hot sauce. All of these gourmet hot sauces take a back seat to the bottle with the rooster on it.

My favorite food changes all the time, but right now I'd say a properly marinated & cooked pork tenderloinis heaven.

I don't understand people's love for raw onion. Cook those things for a few minutes to bring out the sweet flavor & you've got some tasty food. But raw onion just overpowers everything else in the dish & just tastes like crap.

Yay = Well-seasoned, tender steak.
Nay = Alcohol. Sure, I understand the chemical appeal of it, but the flavor is almost uniformly bad unless a fruit or cream is added. Wny not just drink the fruit or cream?

Spaghetti and Meatballs with Parmesan Cheese.....could eat it forever.

Never quite understood the hooplah over ice cream, myself. It's cold, difficult to eat, and so sickly sweet that I immediately tire of it after a few bites.

That makes my liver sad, or happy which ever way you approach it.

A fine liquor or wine is something to be experienced and enjoyed.

Cottage cheese is good in lasagne... that's about it's only use though.

More? Yes please : Peanut Butter, oh yes oh yes (just like me to wind up with a fiancee who's allergic to peanuts too... I have to keep a jar stashed at work)

Ugh, who in their right mind eats this stuff: Fluffernutter... or that radioactive green coleslaw from KFC... or McDonalds.

I think you're looking for ricotta cheese, my man.

Also, I could eat Double Dave's pepperoni rolls every day. If there is a DD's in your area, please seek them out and taste the food that may ultimately be my undoing.

Food I don't get - most of the McDonalds menu

Now you've done it Eli. Now I have to eat Double Dave's for lunch tomorrow. You do dip the rolls alternately in marinara or ranch dressing, yes?

Speaking of - I never used to understand the apparently southern tradition of dipping pizza (especially the crust, but I've seen people douse entire slices) in ranch dressing. Now, if I have pizza without ranch, it just isn't the same.

Sushi haters - you must try GOOD sushi. Also, lots of soy and wasabi. It's an acquired taste like no other. I went from repulsed, to indifferent, to like, to all-consuming weekly craving in about 2 years.

.
Only way that turned out cool was when I had a buffalo chicken pizza. Thin layer of ranch over it does wonders.

But speaking of apparently southern traditions.....deep fried oreos.....my teeth silently fall apart just thinking about that concept....

I'll third the Dave's love. That place is Pizza Utopia.

My favorite food is probably a hamburger. I can eat them for any meal, any time of day, anywhere. I love them.

I don't get broccoli. I understand the nutritional value, but Jesus Christ is this the nastiest thing ever.

Yes to: takeout Japanese and/or Chinese.

No to: chicken, in any way, shape, or form (excluding a couple chicken dishes served by the above establishments). No one seems to understand that chicken is the most bland food ever cooked. It has basically no flavor. Even if you manage, through ridiculous amounts of frying, seasoning, and other preparation, to somehow make the chicken distinguishable from other chicken, it still tastes essentially the same as any chicken you've ever had. It's a pointless, boring food.

Dave's pizza rolls are good, but I've recently converted to Gumby's. They season the dough to the point that I could eat it plain and still be happy. On that note (and I'll make sure to start a new thread in the regional forum), any of the Austin/Houston Chewers interested in a meetup sometime soon? Pizza rolls and movies -- it's the perfect combination!


Love: Berries. Tomatoes. Onions. Bell peppers. Any vegetables with a good crunch to them. Cantelope. Honeydew melon. So-ripe-they-drip-down-your-chin peaches. Rich chocolate ice cream. God, I'm hungry right now.

Hate: Fresh shelled pecans. I like them cooked in things (loooove pecan pie) but they taste bitter to me when I eat them straight out of the shell. Plus, I end up picking bits of nut out of my permanant orthodontia for the next ten hours.

Yay: Leg of Crab. Best finger food in the world.

Nay: Pork Hocks. My mother used to boil them. There's nothing like the smell of boiled pork hock to throw a growing boy off his feed.

Cooked peas are a close second, but I think the hocks win out due to their being slimier.

Oh, I love the ricotta, but the good stuff isn't interchangable with cottage cheese.

And you don't like any curry? There's so many different varieties, there's got to be at least one out there. Green curry is my personal favorite.

Food I could eat everyday: Lasagna. Seriously, how great is this stuff? I don't think I've ever met someone who didn't like lasagna.

Don't understand: Turkey. Never liked it; it's too damn dry for my tastes. I'm always dissapointed at Thanksgiving.

Forever: Spaghetti Bolognese, Veal Marsala, Chicken Piccata, and on the more common, comfort food front: fried breaded catfish, caramelized onion mashed potatoes, and fresh green beans.

Never Ever: Teryaki anything, licorice, canned anchovies, canned veggies, Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's.

Food I could eat every day for the rest of my life:

Pizza. Even when it's bad it's good.

Food I can't understand:

Seafood. It creeps me out. First there is the texture, which ranges from rubbery (calamari, clams) to this weird stringy meaty feeling (shrimp) to something like soft flakey steak (fish) And then the animals themselves freak me out too, with their lifeless bulbous eyes, slime, and alien like personalities.

Leave it to a werewolf to deconstruct the majesty of seafood so carelessly.
