mmm.. I love crab, lobster prawns, shellfish etc. BUT they have to be REALLY fresh, like off the boat caught the same day...
Also, if you can get mackerel into a pan and on the plate within an hour or two of it swimming in the sea, it is amazing - leave it longer and it turns really bland!
No kidding ), my favourite foods are thai green curry (hot with fresh chilli)... and North Indian chilli garlic chicken - my local curry house is GOOD and use plenty of fresh green herbs plus loads of nice fresh hot chillis ).
Don't like very hot curries done with powder.. bleaaach... has to be lots of green chillis, garlic and plenty of hot ginger...
As you say, this food gets you high
There's just something special about eating seafood caught with a local boat that makes me go warm and fuzzy inside. I feel a bit spoilt.
BTW: If you've got some nice meaty prawns, try mixing up a sauce of tomatoes, plenty of horseradish, lemon juice and tabasco. Zingy!
Mine used to be really good but they've gone downhill lately. They used to do a rogan josh with handfuls of fresh coriander and tomato segments thrown in right at the end, so the tomatoes just softened and took on a little flavour, and it was delicious. Now their rogan josh is just mush.
I'm not a big eater of hot curries really, but I do have a taste for jalapenos and I cook with them a lot.
fresh seafood, chineese and mexican ftw! but jalapenos ruin a good meal imo as cooks tend to go overboard with the portions , they have a very overpowering taste so I would rather not/ or maybe just order them seperate
im starting to doubt kevs britishness he seems to actually have working tastebuds
as far as food goes ill pretty much eat anything thats done well but currently my favs are thai (probably for the reasons kev stated) chinese (the kind you get in europe not the stuff chinese eat) and proper italian food
It's odd because my twin sister is a really fussy eater, she doesn't like anything. Whereas there's really nothing that I don't like.
But I do have issues with marzipan. It's not really that I don't like it, it's just that I think it's totally unnecessary. And you never just get a little bit of marzipan; someone will bake a delicious and moist fruit cake and then inexplicably plaster the entire thing in 5kg of almond cement... I mean, why?
And don't get me started on people who make cutesy little sculptures out of it.
See, that shouldn't be allowed. Once the kids are of school-going age, all housewives with too much time on their hands should be sent to forced labour camps.
It's useless to get Italian when you are out to eat. Anyone can make spaghetti and stuff.
Did I mention I like steak? It's all I eat if I'm going to a real restaurant.
Funny thing is, I posted I'd never eat at McDonald's ever again. But the kids love McDonald's. Well, guess where dinner was at tonight? Yup, McDonald's. We were going to pick it up and go out to the park and eat, but the wife was hot waiting out in the car so they all came in. "Let's just eat here out at the outside tables," she said. Er, what about my Whopper? Oh, you have it right there in your purse! Fine by me, LOL. So, yeah, I ate at McDonald's, I just didn't eat their food.
Oh yeah, I don't think I've mentioned it yet. I absolutely love steak
Aw DAMNIT congrats on getting the worst topic title ever!!
And I think I like Tim Hortons and any italian or jamaican food place. Dunno, I like all the famous stuff too (KFC) because I am not too picky with that.
I'm in Minnesota right now, but my girlfriend is from the east coast, and I'm planning on moving there. Crabs are amazingly good, I think they're fun to pick too, just fun to eat in general, and they taste soooo good.
there is a little place about 2 blocks from 4th and ohio in santa monica that does great wraps. also a breakfast spot, snug harbour, in SM again. great omlettes.
