What is your favourite food?

**gadjo_dilo** · 23rd Jul 12, 13:12

It's summer and I love summer food cooked from fresh vegetables.

My favs are:

1. Fried peppers in tomato sauce - a typical aromanian food.

2. Eggplant salad.

I'm partial to Salmon, or Yellowtail Sushi, Crowned rack of lamb, a nice Chateaubriand, or Prime Rib (blood rare)
Beef Carpaccio, Veal scaloppini, baby octopus (a la plancha) Spanish green olives stuffed with anchovy (Tapas style), and lest I forget freshly cooked French baguettes with butter, to name just a few.

Oh dear...were do I start here ?

My home made pizza, with tuna, olives, cappers, anchiovies and plenty origano ?...or the gnocchi di patate with home made pesto sauce and grana padano cheese ?...or how about the classic spaghetti alle vongole ? Defenitelly meet (except for Lamb) isn't my fave food as you can read but I love all kinds of pasta, soups, home made pizza, and plenty of fish and vegetables. And I always love to finish my dinner with differents cheese

As for the wine...italian only

Forgot to tell I like it in romanian style ( with onion ).

Also forgot to tell I like "zacusca" but it's too much to work for it.

Oh dear... food, where do I start

I'm easy to please and enjoy any food and trying new dishes, but classic favourites would be:
English: asian cuisine (

), me mum's steak&kidney pie, chish & fips
Spanish: suckling lamb leg or chops, rabbit al ajillo, fabes, bocata de tortilla, fish
German: sauerkraut (hehe only kidding)

Minced meat+rice+spices wrapped in sauerkraut leaves = delicious dish called "sarmale". There's no romanian celebration without them. Not to mention that the sauerkraut juice is good for hangovers.

**donKey jote** · 24th Jul 12, 11:39

now that sounds good, I'll look it up

Yeah, at the end of the day they are cabbage rolls. We cook them with pork meat and sauerkraut in the winter. In the summer the sauerkraut leaves are replaced by vine leaves and they are served with yougurt or cream.

Must tell my mother to cook some....

**Captain VXR** · 25th Jul 12, 15:23

Sounds a lot like the Polish meal gołąbki. Quite nice, but not my favourite food.

**edv** · 25th Jul 12, 16:00

Astonished that after 11 post nobody has said B A C O N !!!

**schmenke** · 25th Jul 12, 16:43

(rice pudding and berry soup

... Sounds better in Finnish

)

lol.
Ok Ed just for you; bacon wrapped filet mignon covered with homemade pesto, chased down with a dose of Lipitor and Frescobaldi Chianti.
While were clogging our arteries with ham might as well have prosciutto wrapped mozzarella, basil, and sundried tomatoe appetizers. Great Last Supper

**heliocastroneves#3** · 25th Jul 12, 18:04

Steak, Schnitzel, Pizza, Doner kebab, Spinach, Potatoes, Fries, Frikadel... This is all what comes to my mind right now, despite there are lot of more things, which I'd like to eat.. Oh yeah, lets add chicken to the list as well.

**BleAivano** · 25th Jul 12, 18:15

Beef tenderloin with pommes château (potato wedges) and sauce Café de Paris.

)

obviously this is the special occasion favourite food.
When it comes to everyday favourite food this is at the top of the list (minus the pepsi and the pizza salad):

**donKey jote** · 25th Jul 12, 21:34

that looks like what you get in Ikea

Chips with HP...heaven
( I ran a chippie that was the only chippie in the 1980 Dining Out restaurant guide in London...fresh fish dropped off from Grimsby at leat 2 days fresher than in the London Fish Market... Gawd can you imagine the heaven I was in. I made the chips, and I made the fish, and endless supplies of Daddies and pickled oinions---only thing I lacked was beer---and that was extra rough cause there were three pubs within 20 yards but I worked same hours they were open.
I made really good fish, and really yummy chips (about 4.7 tons while there---4.5 months) and some of my loyal lunch customers took pity on me and in exchange for chips and saveloys would bring me beer saving me life more than once.)

Oh I miss good fish n chips.
