What's your favorite food?

[MLBob]

A big slab of Goetta with breakfast.... fried up extra crispy. Not the best thing for my arteries, but still my guilty pleasure on occasion!

 

[GGJaguar]

Veal, steak, popcorn

Oh, how could I have forgotten popcorn?!! I eat popcorn at least 5 nights a week (really!). I'm adding it to the list along with ice cream and Moroccan chicken.

Gonna have to try to find this. I loves me some scrapple, and this looks like a delicious German version.

Fraternal grandparents were both from Italy. Maternal were from Germany and Finland.

We ate well from all three countries growing up...picking one fave...impossible. Add Indian, Viet., Thai

Put a gun to my head? Lamb. My wife really doesn't like the smell so it's a 3 season grill outside treat. We have a Brazilian steak house in Syracuse called Texas de Brazil. I'll go there a couple of times during the winter to get my fix...keep away with the other stuff, just lamb!!

I think it would be much simpler to name foods I dislike (and ironically my wife loves), cooked peas, and my absolute worst- tuna noodle casserole.....ha- at least she doesn't add peas to that!

So, how do you prepare your popcorn? This should have it's own thread.

I never ever heard of this wurst.

oh, and nothing special, really, but we love to visit our greek restaurant once every weekend. (thank god they have a takeaway service nowadays)

I used to do it the old fashioned way (stovetop with oil or shortening), but for the last 10 years or so I have used Nordicware microwave popping bowls. Top with melted butter (salted, not sweet). That's it.

That is a good way, I'm thinking of going back that way but I have been doing it the stovetop route lately. I find Amish Popcorn is good.

Peas were the bane of my childhood. I spent hours sitting at the table because I was told I had to finish them before I could leave. I would fill my mouth with milk and swallow them whole when I could. When we moved out of my childhood home and some items that had been in storage for a couple of decades were moved, my hiding places were revealed by the presence of desiccated peas. Even as an adult I will avoid them when I can and I cringe when they are added to the fried or steamed rice. What is strange is that it is not just the taste. I will eat split pea with ham soup rather than go hungry.

Most people overcook peas. They are much better if lightly cooked.

 

[dreadnut]

Split Pea soup with hambone is also high on my list.

And what's not to like about good old thick-sliced bacon and eggs? Breakfast of champions! I will always think of my dearly departed Uncle Frank when I smell bacon and coffee, because when we were up North deer hunting he would get up at 4am and start cooking breakfast for us. Made it easier to get out of bed at that gawdawful hour, and put some warm food in our bellies before sitting out in the freezing woods waiting for the sun to come up.

Just in case you guy's don't know; At Honey baked hams, you can buy a "ham bone" to make soup, however, if you ask for a large one, there is enough ham on the bone to make fried HLT sandwiches and still have enough to slice some ham in the soup. They come frozen now of late, so I usually pick up two or three, because we're always making soup.

my kids think the Goober Peas song is hilarious.

My wife is Indian....'nuf said. I feel sorry for you guys and gals who have to have your Indian food at restaurants and frozen versions. No comparison to home cooked. Indian restaurants, less a few exceptions, basically offer modifications of Panjabi food.

Well, you sure make hunting sound like a lot of fun.

Oooooh!!! Split Pea Soup!!! What a great food that is!! I don't get not liking peas. I can eat them for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner!! The parrot likes them too, but he eats the inside out and leaves the outer "shell" of the pea. Peas are awesome!!

I like peas, too, but my guys don't. They like green beans, and I don't. I'll eat a few but I don't like them - never have. As a kid I would open the green beans and eat the little beans out of the middle leaving a pile of empty green pods on my plate.

Anybody know how to make kettle corn without burning it? I think I got it to turn out once but so many failures have gone into the trash that I quit trying. I tried regular pan on stovetop as well as a Whirly-Pop using Whirly-Pop recipe book and online recipes but success only once.

My Nordicware microwave popper never worked well. Way too many upopped kernels, probably 2/3 or more. Perhaps it was the microwave wattage but the corn just didn't pop much. It makes a nice serving bowl though.

As we speak, I am eating dried wasabi flavored peas and washing them down with an ice-cold Two Hearted Ale IPA.

Cynthia, have you ever grown Scarlet Runner Beans? You'll not find a sweeter bean. They grow into tall vines with 8"-12" long pods, you need to pick them young and flat, before the seeds start to develop, kind of like snap peas.
