What Are Your Favorite Foods?


Recommended Posts

i like gator to it's o.k. i have not had shark yet but i'm looking foward to sampeling many exotic tropical species. it matters a great deal how they are prepared. fresh never frozen skin removed before cooking no bones in the meat. Sharks yearinate through there skin and when they die there bowels release. so you have to skin them within five minutes of there death. that could be precieved as an evolutionary defense mechanism designed to divert predetors.

i hear the shark is better then the grouper.

The few times I've eaten shark it wasn't anything to write home about... basic large-predator fish like swordfish or marlin, but with kind of a gamy overtone to it. It wasn't bad, just nothing really special. Maybe it wasn't fresh enough... or maybe they didn't soak it in milk as I've heard you're supposed to do (to get the ammonia out). Who knows.

Some of my favorite foods, grouped by type, as they came to mind:

Meat--rare filet mignon (black & blue, actually), sashimi (haven't had any I didn't like yet), stewed kid (goat meat, but it's so fun to say), pan-seared tuna (raw in the middle), mahi mahi, lamb, BACON!, chicken hearts, chicken gizzards, chicken breast (let's just say I like the whole damn chicken), turkey, rabbit, turtle, alligator, venison, any kind of roast. Oh, and arthropods like lobster, crab, crawfish, shrimp, and prawn. Oh, and mussels, clams, oysters, too. Don't like anchovies, smelt, or headcheese.

Roasted lamb and wedding cake! Best combination ever. So very nice.

Cheese--all of them, especially sharp, bitey ones and delicate nutty ones. (I like my cheese like I like my people, I guess.)

Vegetables--dark, bitter greens (mustard, kale, spinach) and less bitter greens (lettuces, bok choy), cabbages and cabbage like foods, cooked (especially stewed) or raw, broccoli, green beans, legumes (all kinds), tomatoes (fruits, really), cucumber, okra, all kinds of squash!, eggplants, most root vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, but not cauliflower. I love the way asparagus tastes, but I hate the way it smells, especially when it is secreted later. Yech! Favorite veggie: brussel sprouts (despite the same smell factor as asparagus, idk why.) Like, but not favorites (tend to be too sweet): carrots, bell peppers. Like spicy peppers, but small tolerance, yet I kind of like the feel of my mucous membranes being frazzled and corroded.

Fruits--yes, most of them, in small quantities, especially berries and citrus.

Beverages--red wine, beer, COFFEE, tea, water, gin

Desserts--dark chocolates, cake w/o icing, ice creams (in small doses), red bean soup, Little Debbie, iced latte (no syrups, two tsps of sugar), gingerbread, ginger sorbet, peanut ginger chews, small chewy candies, steamed milk, black licorice

Breads--dark, crusty, chewy

Other--rice, gum

Nope. Not much has changed. I can add crystallized ginger and marzipan to the desserts/sweets list. I have also found powdered agave nectar to be a tasty sweetener--it's delicious! And I should say for fruits that I specifically adore mangoes (all varieties), pomegranates and clementines. In the dairy category, cottage cheese is very good.

Cheese (I put cheese on everything)

Lasagne

Mushrooms

Tomatoes

Cucumbers

Fresh pineapple

Pasta

Salads with balsamic vinegarette dressing

Thai food

Veggie enchiladas (but only the way I make them, restaurants always use veggies I don't like in Mexican food, like broccoli or carrots)

Not technically foods, but I'd have a hard time going without Coca Cola and Chai Tea to drink.
