The food lovers w/o - lets eat!

May 28 '05

The Bottom Line mmmmmm ... I'm hungry.


This write off hosted by three_ster has been catching my eye lately. I wanted to join Ryan's party too and if you want to join the fun, just click here http://www.epinions.com/content_4367687812


What is your favorite:

1. Soft Drink

I don't actually drink much soft drink as water is generally my first choice but if I am at a takeout and soft drink is part of the deal I go for Sprite. Not diet either, if I am going to indulge in a sweet drink I want the real deal.

2. Ice Cream Flavor

Ahhh ... there is only one worth mentioning and that is Hokey Pokey.

3. Fast Food Restaurant

Tough call this one as I don't actually have a favourite fast food restaurant, it all depends on what I feel like at the time.
For burgers it would have to be the local fish and chip shop burgers. A large toasted bun with a huge meat patty - onions - lettuce - tomato - beetroot - mayo and tomato sauce.
For chicken head straight to KFC no questions asked, its finger lick'n good and don't forget the cole slaw.
For a sandwich then Subway can't be beat.
For coffee and a double chocolate muffin it is off to McDonalds McCafe, their fries are pretty good too.

4. Type of Pizza

Absolutely any, not fussy when it comes to pizza.

5. Thanksgiving Dinner

We don't do Thanksgiving but I love roast turkey on any occasion.

6. Snack Food

Thick cut potato chips; plain, salt and vinegar, sour cream, with dip, without dip, with salsa, without salsa - damn things have taken over my life.

7. Side Dish

Char grilled veges.

8. Food to Eat While Driving

I only eat when someone else is driving so I readily snack away on potato chips and wine gums.

Whoops **** It has been pointed out to me that you may not have heard of wine gums and be imagining all sorts of horrible concoctions but rest assured, wine gums are delicious. They are chewy fruit flavored candies, similar to gummy bears and are very, very, tasty.

9. Food for Breakfast

Toast, butter, apricot jam and a large cup of hot tea, milk no sugar.

10. Sit-Down Restaurant

Any Indian Restaurant I can find.

11. Italian Dish

Meatballs

12. Chinese Dish

Fried rice

13. Sandwich

corned beef and pickle

14. Cheese

cheddar

15. Donut

The type we get here are big round ones minus the hole in the middle, dusted with icing sugar, sliced and filled with sweet cream and a big dab of raspberry jam/jelly.

16. Type of dessert

Homemade apple crumble.

17. Type of Cake

My home made chocolate cake can't be beat.

18. Vegetable

Oh dear, can't settle for just one vegetable. I love fresh picked sweetcorn, lettuce salad with capsicum and red onions (hold the dressing), I love broccoli and cauliflower, absolutely adore fresh green and yellow beans, peas in the pod ... tomatoes ... garlic .... onions ... mushrooms ... there is no end.

19. Fruit

At the moment my favourite is Feijoa's because they are in season at the moment, cheap, plentiful and yummy.

20. Food In Bed

Breakfast in bed, please.

21. Beer

Export Gold, Steinlager or Kingfisher with Indian food.

22. Drink With Dinner

Red or white wine, depending on what we are having.

23. Fruit Juice

Apple

24. What is your favorite meal?

Oh dear ... what to pick ?

* Roast lamb with roast potatoes, kumara and pumpkin, with gravy and fresh veggies - bliss.
*Lamb nawabi at the local Indian Restaurant - bliss,
*My homemade fishcakes with salad and beetroot, bliss.
*Tuna pasta bake and baked potatoes, bliss.

Well, I can't decide on a favorite but the lamb nawabi might have to win because it is the one thing I don't have to make myself.

****************

This was fun, who knew talking about food could be as much fun as eating it.

Now ... lets eat!
