Thread: What is your favourite food?

Far too many good foods to pick a single one as a favorite!

I'm a meat eater, so a good steak is a favorite, but then again anything slow cooked on a BBQ can give it quite a run for the money. Just about ALL Japanese food has to be considered, along with a lot of shellfish and seafood dishes.

I better go eat something now.

I have recently discovered Bushmills. Beats all of them other whiskies.

Speaking of food, nothing is better than pork stewed in sour cream.

What is a "peasants palate"?

A 'peasants palate' prefers 'stewed to 'rare', beans to fresh peas, sweetish tastes to sharp, big slugs of burning sensation to subtle afternotes.

For the record: pan fried pheasant breast in an armagnac and cream sauce. Caol Ila 12 y o Islay single malt.

Thanks for such a plastic definition.

Gadji, instead of suffering the slings and arrows of ill-bred bounders, why don't you type the term "peasant's palate" into a search engine and then press "enter"

Man what isn't my favorite food. I would say one of my favorites HAS to be BBQ. I have a smoker that I get down with almost every weekend. Webber WTF!!

I tried it with google translation and dictionary.com and couldn't find it. Then I wanted to know right from the source.
Anyway, nice to see ( again!) you consider me a helpless dumb.

I resemble that implication! Clearly one man's Cacciatore is another's Chasseur and yet another's Jaeger Eintopf. Not surprising that Googling didn't throw up a definition as different paysans / peyons / contadini / peasants have different palates. I am a serf with a gourmand's palate, not a combination for a contented life!

You may also add the romanian variant "ţărani".
Was one of my fav insult until half of my colleagues came from countryside.

P.S. I bet now Mr.Pino will pull our ears for not sticking to the topic.

Sig. Pino daren't if he is more 'paese piuttosto che in città'
Oaf, bumkin, haychewer, yokel are still good British insults that have escaped politically correct revisionism
Back on topic though British peasant food tends to be Aristocratic food that no one sees you catching!!!

proper Irish whiskey, won't give you a headache no matter how much you drink

I'm not sure what you are going on about, or why you quoted me. However I'm sure I wouldn't order Canadian Wiskey in Scotland whether the barkeep was up for a headbutting competion or not

a nice bowl of hot, meaty chili. Mmmmmmm...

Since this topic is slowly turning into a "what is your fav drink?" I have an advice: Forget whiskey and try some healthy transylvanian palinca.

If I really wanna burn my esophagus and all other organs thereafter, I'll simply buy petrol. It's cheaper.

You're really weak for a captain....

Even my humble person is able to drink it.

Yeah, see, I don't get into gasoline guzzling competitions to prove my manhood.

I happen to quite like my liver how it is, you know, healthy.

Relax captain. I don't want to cross my sword with you. I hate competitions as I'm a natural born loser.
And I don't drink gasoline but palinca or ţuica of Zalău.
