Food you like
What food items do you like? I don't mean what you eat most, or what's good for you to eat. Just, what are your favorites? If preparation matters, tell us that too.
Mine are:

I really enjoy braised or otherwise slow-cooked meats. Lamb shanks come to mind. Baby back pork ribs that have been brined for a long time can come out super soft to the point where the meat is falling off the bone.
I've seen this extra long brining technique implemented beautifully in restaurants but I've never tried it for myself in person. I'm also a fan of cream-based pastas with a fresh, classically prepared stock as a base. I'm absolutely convinced that the main reason why restaurant quality pasta sauces taste better than home-cooked sauces is because (good) restaurants freshly prepare stock every morning whereas home cooks will typically use store-bought stock or won't use any stock at all. Edit: I forgot a big one. Risottos! I absolutely love a well-made risotto with a high quality stock and a sharp cheese (cambozola or gouda come to mind). A well-made risotto should run somewhat freely on a plate. It shouldn't be clumpy and dry. Last edited by NemesisX; 08-15-2013 at 04:09 PM.. |

Absolutely! You cannot deny that a bowl of cereal is awesome, anytime of the day!
Really though, I have a very broad palate. I enjoy a plethora of cuisines, from "Lean Cuisine" to fine dining in Spain. I also have a bit of culinary instinct in me as well. I truly enjoy going to the market and purchasing ingredients for a three course meal, preparing, cooking, and then indulge in front of my TV to Top Gear. I just lacked the commitment to type out the foods I desire most with my first post. The irony in how simple cereal is relates to how simple my post was. |

•Meat: ribeye cap - tenderness of a filet with the flavor, juiciness, and marbling of a ribeye. bacon, pastrami, and hot dogs
I also smoke my own bbq, mainly st. Louis cut spareribs. •Poultry: Chinese roast duck that's still pink in the middle, tea smoked duck, and foie gras (too bad its banned here) •Seafood: shark fin soup with mitten crab roe, Australian shellfish (western rock lobsters and crystal crabs), geoduck, steamed sablefish, raw aji and blue fin tuna •Veggies: stir fried snow pea sprouts with garlic •Fruit: peaches, oranges, pears, cantaloupe, honeydew, durian •Breakfast: perfectly made shrimp dumplings for dim sum •Dessert: kouign amann, mille feuille/napoleon, and Portuguese egg tarts •Drinks: hong kong style milk tea, koningshoeven quad, highland park 18 neat I didn't know where to put this, but I also really love noodles. dan dan noodles are awesome if theres Szechuan peppercorns in them, and I always go to my favorite places for wonton noodle soup and beef noodle soup whenever i'm in hong kong.

I like all that stuff too. You mentioned foie gras (or did your spelling imply a non-anserine variation of it?). That reminds me of a fun party I not too long ago hosted, and since you are clearly a foodie, I thought I'd share. This event happened two years back round Halloween. I'd recalled that several of my friends and I had, a couple months before, been bemoaning the fact that none of us really wanted to go to another costume party that Halloween season. An idea popped into my head and I told them I'd host something small for us and they wouldn't need costumes. Taking inspiration from the TV series "Be the Creature," I sent out the invitations for "Be the Buffet" dinner party (8 people). When my friends arrived, they entered a very warm house lit only by candles, some of which were inside elaborately carved pumpkins of various sizes. Lots of sheer fabric in black, gold and sliver was draped all over the pace and moving slowing with the air currents. (I couldn't bring myself to actually having Halloween-types howls and cackling laughs for music, so I just had Enigma, Sarah Brightman's Diva Dance, Moodswings' Moodfood album, and other similar tunes on.) We all had some drinks and munched on appetizers while the chef was finishing, and I announced the party guidelines:
Menu note: To this day, the chef hasn't told me how he managed to slice the ham thin enough to twist it into little strings and tie it in bows around pairs of haricot vert. I also don't know how he got the tubes of duck breast stay rolled as tubes. He was a major factor in the success of the party. Though I invented the dishes, I could never have executed them as well as he.

I didn't list a starch per se, but I'd pick wild or brown rice and sweet potato before all others. I too love risotto. My favorite is mushroom risotto that I make by substituting mushroom broth for chicken broth. Doing that alters the rice color, but the flavor is insanely good. I like risotto more creamy than dry. I like pasta too, but I like the rice better. Happy eating.

I'll try anything ........ twice.
I love watching Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" That guy will try absolutely anything. Some of the best food on the planet is cooked in old oil drums on the side of some dirt road in a third world country. |

tony, that sounds like a fantastic dinner party. Man is it making me hungry. Sounds like a lot of "fun" was had by all. Was there a fishbowl at the front door? HA HA, I keed, I keed.
Yes, I consider myself a foodie, and I love to cook as well. We are hosting a moules frites competition dinner party tonight. Everybody brings a sauce, and after many, many bottles of wine, and much deliberation, we might even declare a winner. Last edited by MightyMouseTech; 08-16-2013 at 07:32 AM.. |

I don't think that's actually true....As long as the penalty for losing isn't having to eat some, I'd bet you won't eat fermented tofu (aka chou doufu or stinky tofu) twice. But hey, give it a shot and see what you think.
FWIW, I suspect there might be someone formerly out there who thought that too until they ate the wrong fugu once. Quote:
