What is your fave food and why?

Ilove liver and onions with mash yum yum

My favorite meal is very Kansas City I think but it's my lifelong fave! Chicken fried steak smothered in white gravy, mashed potatoes smothered in the same gravy, homemade biscuits, creamed corn and green beans smothered in melted cheddar cheese. A HUGE unsweetened iced tea and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Oh Man!

It's good I can't cook all that! It's a MOM dish I crave daily! It's amazing I'm not enormous! KC is a fat city. At 6'2" and 185 I look good compared to alot of midwesterners! We LOVE our BBQ, fried foods and sugar!!!!!!!!! My cholesterol level in '99 was 320! I took meds for awhile but they clashed with my Happy Hours so I stopped. But favorite food is about TASTE and FEEL!

being a KC man you will appreciate the fact i love bloody red beef. BAD lady cop.... i also love mangoes and strawberries in season here in florida. and fresh veggie stands. any fresh veggies and fruits, the best grapefruit on earth is called a honey bell, amazingly fantastically delicious! then there's fresh florida seafood, catch your own lobster, fish and shrimp! OMG! awesomely good! raw oysters and beer, oh STOP ME!!! LOL

Ice Cream..Chocolate of any kind, Salmon, Lobster, Turkey, Radishes, Apples, and Macaroni and Cheese.. Boy I could go on and on. Not much of a meat eater. Love veggies all of them.

You go girl! You carnivore you! I love bloody meat too. RARE. I want a puddle of blood with the meat cool and bleeding red on the inside. But not at Denny's. Their meat is from Bangladesh or something.

This sounds awesome. Ranks up there with a 12 oz ribeye steak, huge baked potato, and salad with ranch dressing. I'll take a brewsky with mine and finish up with a piece of cherry cheesecake.

Rack of Lamb, new potatoes and french (sorry) beans, accompanied by a cheeky little Montrachet, or if it's friday night ah Chicken madras, pilau rice, bombay aloo, plain naan and as many pints as I can hold!!

oh god.. being and ex-chef.. this one is a tuffy.....anything Cajun.. old time Cajun not this noveau stuff... Smothered Crayfish... Etouffee... Jambalaya... Po'boys.. yumm... from the midwest out KC way.. gimme some good BBQ... doesn't matter what. . just so long as it is done low and slow..... from New England.. gimme that Clam Chowda.... or a good Boiled Dinner.. Gotta agree with LC bout the fresh seafood from the southcoast... damn... it is a wonder I am not 3,000 lbs.. hahahaha.. for drinks.. Beer.. but not that Clydesdale Crude.. a good micro... Long Trail, Otter Creek.... Rock Art.. all local here.. but I always look for locals when I travel.. wine.. gotta have some body baby. none of that watery beaujolais stuff.. hmmmm... damn.. I could go on forever...

I like my Mum's roast beef in gravy, yorkshire puddings, roast potato's, parsnips, sage and onion with baby carrotts. Put a little of everything onto your fork and get all the tastes together. Really yummy!

For pudding......trifle preferably sherry flavour. I'm feeling home sick, I think I know where I shall be this weekend. :wah:
Actually there is brown gravy and white gravy in the states. White gravy is the leftover grease from the chicken fried steak mixed with milk and flour. Add salt & pepper and you have a real Great Plains delicacy!

My favorite meal is also chicken fried steak with real cream gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, and fresh bread. Iced tea is fabulous with it. Chicken Fried Steak is very popular in the South. It is so good!!!!! :-6

BBQ is the way to go. We travel to KC often...just to eat BBQ. Aurthor Bryant's is my favorite!

I like BBQ too but I like Rosedale BBQ best.

Bothwell, above, is a world class cook. as a hobby. oh lucky me!! ...anyway, go put on your dive gear. catch a big lobster. split his tail and stuff it with cracker crumbs, butter, garlic. put under the broiler for a few minutes. then dive in again! OMG GOOD! then go out late at night, shine your flashlight on the water until you see a million little red eyes...those are big shrimp! net them and saute the buggers in butter and garlic. eat a mango and go to bed with your honey. um...i am getting off track here, must be the meds! ...(boy, i can blame these meds for everything!)

Ummm...I'm not bashing the British, I'd LOVE to visit. But the word here is they have not so great food! Blood pudding anyone? Boiled lamb & kidney pie?? Very different for sure. I know I'd like some of the food there, maybe. But I'd likely hang out at the Chinese restaurants. :-3

Hey David...Fiorella's? Read above post.

The list would be much shorter if I just listed the things I didn't like:

Spinich & Mushrooms!! That's about it!! :wah:



Cars :driving:

No we dont boil Steak and Kidney pudding!!

Hey GDH I am getting the nerve up to try Tete Au Veau, have you ever had it ?

One of my food heroes (Anthony Bourdain) has it down as one of the must try Classic French dishes, but god I have seen it served and it looks bloody horrible.

Worst thing I have ever eaten = Sea Slug in Honk kong

Hey Bothwell...

Nope.. I have not tried that. I have tried head cheese.. sous.. and some other interesting dishes.. sweetmeats which I think is similar.

Where I drew the line...

Monkey brains when I was in the Far East.. nope.. just could not do that... and I think you know what I mean Bothwell....
