Best food ever!

[Steph]

I'm lucky enough to live in the most multicultural city in the world. The world!

Tonight we ordered Thai . . . we'll have Jamaican soon, I'm sure. Ethiopian food rocks .. . . there's not a food I don't love but I have to say I'm partial for Thai.

Anyone else have faves?

Pad Thai rules!

Also, we always end up having sex after Thai is delivered!

[Lilith]

<~~~~ wants Thai and sex;)
No Thai delivery here:o


I find something to love about almost any food different from my usual. We have alot of ethnically diverse choices here too.

[LixyChick]

I live in the middle of nowhere and I can't even get a good old fashioned pizza delivered to my digs! Waaaaaaaa!

I love trying new foods........but as I said before......if it resembles something I would use for bait.......I won't eat it!

Thai sounds really interesting. I'd like to try it soon. I adore sushi and never thought I would. I don't think I would like East Indian stuff though......I don't like curry. I say.....when in Rome......yada, yada, yada..........so I'd try most anything once.

[Sharni]

Chinese...Pizza...An good ole Aussie BBQ tucker

[BamaKyttn]

I'm a sushi girl, myself. I love Japanese food......

[dicksbro]

I try just about anything once. Used to have a Japanese place in Peoria, but it's gone now. Rats. Love Japanese.

Oh well, Italian, Chinese, Greek, Mexican, and many other are still represented. Even several great steak and ribs places and some wonderful seafood ones as well.

Putting some weight back on so I think I need a few less choices. :D :D

[seriousfun]

Yep, sushi.

I love to eat it raw.

[Cheyanne]

Authentic Mexican for me (along with Marguretias of course)........... the hotter the better.. yum. We have to travel at least 45 minutes to any decent places to eat. Like Lixy, we can't get a pizza delivered to us... you know "country bumpkins"...

[krzykrn]

Food = life to me...I LOVE trying new cuisine...unfortunately since I am a poor student (art student at that, which is I think ground zero lol), I don't get much of a chance as I would like. But I love all kinds...Korean, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Italian...and so much more to try!

Food is so sensual too...different textures, tastes, flavors, spices...mmm god...slippery, wet noodles...thick, rich, sauces...firm, yet tender meats...ok time for a cold shower :D (and something to eat damn it)

[PantyFanatic]

Ahhh the trade offs.

I can’t get most of it delivered to the door, (pizza yes.) but don’t know of anything I haven’t found within 10 miles. I’m down with the Ethiopian food to my surprise and have a couple “authentic” Mexican places tagged. (and none of them are named Chi-Chis;) must be from another part of Mexico. *herherher*) I seem to enjoy it all and this is coming from a 5’ 9” x 170lbs. person who eats fast food and sandwiches 80% of the time.

Even though I agree with Steph, (T-town is best cosmopolitan city on earth) and I don’t take advantage of what is here, and do envy other aspects of “bumpkin life”, the best food still comes from struggling family operated restaurants. I hope the only exception to the chain restaurants is “Outback”. I don’t get excited by most any of the big “speciality” chains but their stakes just do it for this carnivore.

Now will you tell this common-sewer of fine dinning what Aussie BBQ “tucker” is? Oz and BBQ already sound good to me.:D

[BlondeCurlGirl]

My city is also represented by several fantastic choices of multicultural restaurants. Unfortunately, my budget hasn't allowed me to try as many as I'd like. I'm also not in the center of the restaurant hub now that I'm not down on campus anymore, so I will definitely miss that!

Gee, now I'm getting hungry... :p

[Lilith]

krzykrn made me hungry but not for food;)

[blastpdb]

Ice cream Banana Split with Cherries on top alittle maple syrup. Always have a spot in my heart. Or does that classify as dessert. Then I'd have to say Italian, Mex, Soul and German.
:bite:

[Santiago]

thai is great. also an indian restaurant called Akbars we go to. but we cant go that often cuz its expensive and an hour and a half away.

[dadaist]

It's funny this came up - my bank sent me a discount card for use with their Visa check card today, and in my town alone we've got a dozen or so restaurants that the card is good at.

From the top (in the alphabetical order of the restaurant names, which I won't name here):
Italian
Italian (Contemporary)
America/Italian
Seafood
Mexican
Italian
Italian
Indian
Pan Asian
Italian
Indian (Northern)
Indian/Pakistani
Chinese
Thai
Mexican
Japanese Steak & Sushi
American

Anyone wanna go ring up some discounts with me?

[quisath]

Tex Mex First ...........of course.....................And Steph.............. Pad Thai does Rock................I don't get it as HOT as I use to but I do like it spicey. Try the Spicey Shrimp Salad if you get a Chance. Its Very Good.

[Steph]

Thanks for the tip, quisath. I'm a vegetarian and I don't eat fish. Since we're making recommendations . . . my boss took me to a nice Italian restaurant the other day and I had the Popeye salad - spinach, feta, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. DIVINE!

[airhog]

As long as it doesnt move too much or bite back, Ill eat it :D

[PantyFanatic]

Steph- That's food's food you're eating hun.:rolleyes:

Look at your gorgous smile in the mirror. See those two pointy teeth? They are called "canines" for a reason.:eek: You are the top of the food chain.......... and that's not a bad place to be if you think about it.;)

[Loulabelle]

Pantyfanatic - That's what I always say to vegetarians who go all 'You're a murderer' on me! Lol Having said that I think most veggies just keep quiet about it now.

In England we struggle to find good English Restaurants! But if you want Italian Mexican Thai Chinese Indian American French you can find that on practically every street corner!

I used to live in Cardiff and it was restaurant heaven! In fact one of my sister's best friends is probably the best Thai chef on the planet and his restaurant is staggering distance from her house. Needless to say, I always insist we eat there when I go to visit.

Steph.....when you're in a mood for something horribly fattening, I wholly recommend Pak Tord if it's on the menu.........(and yes, it is veggie!)

[Steph]

I'm not a (pardon the pun) rabid veggie! PF, dude, the canine teeth myth is played out!

Although humans are capable of digesting meat, human anatomy clearly favors a diet of plant foods. Our digestive systems are similar to those of the other plant-eaters and totally unlike those of carnivores. The argument that humans are carnivores because we possess "canine" teeth ignores the fact that other plant-eaters have "canine" teeth, and that ONLY plant-eaters have molar teeth. Finally, if humans were designed to eat meat, we wouldn't suffer from heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis from doing so.

Back to food, people!

I've had pizza from several different places this week. I had some lovely homemade pizza from Tyler, lovely goumet at an Italian restaurant, some take-out during the Stanley Cup final last night, and a Pizza Pizza snack the other night after work.

I also worked at a restaurant as a pizza delivery gal for a few years in the Rockies. When I stopped working there, I seriously lost 10 lbs. in a week or so because I was surrounded by food when I worked there.

I really don't think I'll ever get sick of pizza!

Thanks, Loulabelle - I will try Pak Tord soon!

[Loulabelle]

Steph - just for the record......human beings are not carnivores or herbivores, we're omnivores.

Hehehe....that means we eat EVERYTHING! Well, I do at least......

[Steph]

We are officially omnivores but can survive as herbivores . . . should I just start a vegetarian thread?!?!? :) :)

[PantyFanatic]

The above was from Living Vegetarian, A Healthy Way to Eat Why did that loose the element of surprise? :rolleyes:

I concede that my general statement will be bludgeoned by such a BROAD and CATAPULTED rebuke. The difference in this omnivore’s comment and theirs is mine is a thought, not a cause.


I only meant it figuratively when I said I want to eat you babe.:lust:

Don't you roll your eyes at me! And it's lose, not loose? Surprise where?

Catapulted? Hum? And you call my retort broad? Isn't the reasoning that we have certain teeth which predispose us to eating meat a broad statement?

That's better! :)

Not unless you're finished talking about good eats. :D







and you can put down your spear. ;)

I’m sure I’m the wrong person to sharing this information with. Half the medical researchers on the planet should be interested in this single cure for so many ills.



(and you win in the grammar category too):)

[PantyFanatic]

LMFAO! :D






At least I always remember the difference between fish and meat.

You can beat your meat, but if you beat your fish, he’ll die.;)

[cbass1976]

i think if i had to choose one thing to eat everyday it would be pizza...a close second would be a horseshoe for those who are not familiar with one you take and put toast on a plate...then you put either hamburger, ham, tenderloin, chicken or whatever you like...top that with fries..finially smother that with cheese sause

[PantyFanatic]

I hope you’re feeling better this morning.:)
I see you were up late deleting posts.;) (lol) You must be even more tired than me.

I have your favorite breakfast ready. A nice cold bowl of shredded gruel.:rolleyes:

Now right after you finish breakfast, ….. I'll help you get dressed and we can ........................................ ???????? ............(it could be time for breakfast again if I did that:lust: )


:love:

[kali69]

my favorites go like this
American
Mexican
Italian
Chinese

[darogle]

Much easier to list the foods I won't eat...liver and brussel sprouts. Other than that, I like just about anything. Some all time favorites are Swedish food (reminds me of Chrismas growing up, we had a swedish smorgasbord), sea food, Thai, Chinese, Italian, ect., ect., ect.

[osuche]

I'm with Steph...I **LOVE** Thai. Although best to avoid oral sex right after if you like it **really** spicy like I do.

I also like - Mexican, Vietnamese, Ethiopian, Indian, Japanese, Cuban, etc.

[osuche]

I was wondering the other day...what about all the restaurants/nationalities we don't see???? What do they eat??

For instance...what about the rest of Africa (Somali food anyone)?

Most of South America (ever had Columbian or Guatemalan)?

Canada - ex Tim Hortons which isn't country-specific?

Food from Luxembourg? Norway? Russia?


These thoughts keep me up at night....

My family still eats food w/a strong Swedish influence most of the time, including at Christmas, and I love it.

Not thinking in terms of my own background and homecooking, I love Thai, Chinese, Greek, Soul, Indian food, etc., etc. There's not much I don't like and won't try, except for snails and insects.

I’m not sure about the rest, but I’ve only seen one Irish Cookbook.:) It had one page that said “Boil it.”:rolleyes: I think that a seven course banquet for us is a six-pack and a boiled potato.:p

I hope you can now sleep at night knowing that. If you can’t……………. call me. :lust:



BlueSwede- I have a Swedish friend that tells me about a “special Christmas” fish that must have a “very” pungent order when being cooked. I can see the joy of his mouthwatering memories:D, but the description doesn’t make it sound too appealing.:eek:

[dicksbro]

I like "Thigh."


Oh, that's something else. :D

[fzzy]

hmmm ... where to begin ???? LOL!!

cheesecake
cheeseburger (no catsup or onion)
pizza
ice cream
italian
carmel, chocolate and/or peanut butter
pancakes
scrambled eggs, bacon and toast
salad bar

..... just to name a few ....

[PantyFanatic]

*Steph grabs throat with both hands and keels over at fzzy’s menue* :eek:



;) *PantyFanatic rushes in,... flips up her skirt and begins lip-to-lip resuscitation!*

Oooops. Wrong end.:o












:lust: :lust: :lust: ;)

[Cheyanne]

LOL at all of you... :D :D

I am not a vegitarian.. but this time of year with my backyard bounty starting to produce, I could be... if only for a short time.. :D

Cabbage, cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, radishes, corn on the cob, peppers, zuchinni..........................

just that on my plate and I am happy....


(((OHHHHHHHHH, can't forget the berries ;) )))

[skipthisone]

I am with you cheyanne, is the way I am eating right now too.

PF-- I've seen the same cookbook then. But if you drown it all with a big mug of beer it doesn't matter what the food tastes like, does it?

:fly:

[dicksbro]

Come to think of it, I'm getting awfully hungry for fresh sweet corn. Ummmmmmmm. Yummy, yummy!

No need to keel! I co-exist with meat eaters :)

I enjoy the bounty of summer fruit and veggies and then partake in frozen veggies, beans, pasta and rice moreso in the winter. I can always invent a colourful meal, no matter what the season.

:hot:

Try getting venison leg steaks, cutting a pocket in it, stuff it with diced mushrooms,garlic butter, your favourite herbs, bread crumbs, onions, diced chives, and a little elizabethan mead (like wine, but made from honey instead), sew or skewer it shut.
Then make a marinade out of more mead, apple cider vinegar, mustard seed oil, and olive oil, plus some dried herbs.
Marinade for 4 to 6 hours, then Bbq it over a charcoal grill, slowly, baste as you cook it, it's a lovely dish with a fine glass of mead, and an assortment of veggies (baby corn, baby carrots, young potatoes cooked in the jacket, and fresh brussels sprouts, with a bit of herb butter and some Estonian black bread on the side, usually gets the neighbours downwind drooling.

[Ozling]

i love foreign food. even if its americanized foreign food. chinese food, thai food, japenese food, korean food, vietnamese food..oy, waters the mouth just thinking of it...(sea food...*druels*..)

Sweetheart, that's fancy and I love it. When can I come over for a feast?
:confused: :multi:

[kgb253]

Try using some Aussie mead in your cooking, we've got some really world class meads over here, sweet ones, dry ones, in light and dark, plain or spiced.

One meadery has been exporting world wide since the early fifties, even to Russia, try it you'll love it, espescially the elizabethan mead (sweet spiced mead).

[Steph]

A friend tortured me with honey mead - it's really tough to drink, tho! Tooooooooo sweet!
