What are your favorite foods?  There are too many possible options to list, so no automated polling on this one.  Maybe I'll do a desserts poll sometime, but this poll is about meal entrees - breakfast, lunch or dinner. :3

This is also yet another lame excuse for Food Porn. X3 (Note that you don't have to post pictures - it can just be fun. :3)

Here are some of mine.  *hums the recipe selection music from Personal Trainer: Cooking and Cooking Guide*

Chicken alfredo

Pizza Margherita

Orange chicken

Buttermilk pancakes

[Vy'drach]

I do love most types of pasta, and that chicken alfredo made me hungry again, even though I ate not long ago. (I may have to go and cook me up some spaghetti).

I also love sea food, my favourite being halibut.

And the Wiki on the halibut, which describes the fish and type of meat it has.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halibut

I also happen to love crawdads. I prefer then boiled or their tail meat deep fried. (That's good eats right there)

And of course the wiki on them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawdads

And, depending on what it's made with of course, I love Japanese yakisoba noodles.

And the wiki on it.

Also, has anyone here ever tried frog legs? If not, they really do taste like chicken, that's not a cliche, they really do, and I recommend you try them at least once just to say that you have.

Ooooooooooh, I love tilapia.  Forgot all about that. X3

I also really like salmon cake, with applesauce and lemon juice.  But I haven't had it in years.  Salmon are endangered in the Atlantic, and have to be precariously farmed there.  They're also endangered in Alaskan Pacific waters, but there are still some healthy Pacific stocks.

[Vy'drach]

I haven't heard anything of salmon being endangered, and they still serve it, so are you sure that's right?

[Dermot]

Ahh, yes, they still serve it.  I just was under the impression they were endangered.  Just in the Atlantic, so salmon is now farmed in coastal salmon farms.  It's still captured in nets in the Pacific though, but has been depleted around Alaska.

Now I really miss salmon cake...and its heavenly aroma.  Even if it's considered a foul odor in this landlocked corner of North America I'm currently stuck in.

By the way, our friendly neighborhood Sabre just said to me in PM:

A Chippy

(I would have posted in the thread, but I kep getting the error that wont let me post.)

I wonder what a "Chippy" is. X3

[Ant]

Chippy -> Chippy Tea -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_and_chips

Personally, I do very much like bangers and mash

[Asper Sarnoff]

I made a food thread some time ago, so I'm just reposting from there.

What I'd order is kind of difficult to explain. The main dish would be centered around a large bit of fine beef. Rare done, of course. In a strong, dark sauce, with fried vegetables such as squash, onions and mushrooms. All with a solid dose of potatoes gratinated in cream and cheese.

To round of with, the best dessert there is. Panacotta with homemade raspberry jam.

I'll add that I like most sorf of BBQ food. Spareribs, marinated beef, roasted potatos and one of my dads special salads.

Chinese food done well is also something I appreciate VERY much.

Oh, and salmon is (along with whale) the only seafood I like. You can say what you want, but they are definatively not extinct on this side of the Atlantic. Much of it comes from salmon farms, but there is also no problem getting hold of wild salmon either. Norway is among the largest exporters of salmon, and we have a very viable stock.

Salmon pieces packed in aluminium foil with vegetables, herbs and butter, and then roasted in a fire is delicious!

CHINESE FOOD FTW!!

[Guest FoXXX]

Wow this thread is making me hungry, thanks guys

@crazyfooinc

Chinese food is absolutely the best Egg rolls and chicken fried rice <3

[Vy'drach]

Mmmmm... broccoli beef, one of my favourites, next to war wonton soup of course.

And Asper, whale? People actually kill and eat whales? I thought that those were definitely endangered.

Chicken w/ Broccoli, white rice, AND LOTSA' FRIED CHICKEN WINGS! That is one thing that is good about being in New York, there is Chinese food EVERYWHERE!

Also, orange chicken with chow mein is pretty good too (I don't really consider Panda Express real Chinese )

Now some food from my the Greek side of my family. (Some of the few Greek foods that I actually like)

Avgolemono soup (Egg lemon soup, basically Greek chicken noodle)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avgolemono

Greek Salad

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_Salad

(Though I do not like olives or tomatoes, so everything except that)

Horta (Pretty much means "Greens." My favourite is boiled dandelions, tastes just like spinach, but a bit better)

Kleftiko (Basically, lamb roasted over a pit, marinated in garlic and lemon juice)

I don't really think a picture is necessary, it looks like roasted meat.

Tsoureki (Easter Bread, Greeks use it to celebrate Easter, and the bread is very light, fluffy, and sweet)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsoureki

Koulourakia (A Greek dessert, usually served at Easter, but not necessarily limited to it)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koulourakia

Man this stuff is so sweet, and fun to make too.

Kourabiedes (Christmas cookies, served at Christmas and such, but not necessarily limited to it)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kourabiedes

Now these things are so damned sweet, and addictive as hell.

I like a local food called

"Empanadas".

Especially if they are fried.

Not all species are endangered. Norwegian whalers have very strict quotas and regulations to keep to. One whale to much, or of a wrong species, and they'll have to pay a fine so big they will lose their boat, and still be deeply embedded in debt.

It's very expensive, but taste really delicious.

[Vy'drach]

Hmmm,  news to me, guess you learn something new every day.

[Scott7]

I don't have much variety in my diet, but i do love a good steak every once in a while!

Also I have to say, I do not eat meat.

No offence if you do, thought.

(And my entire family does, so I think

it is a matter of taste, mainly).

Are you a vegetarian or a vegan? :3 Personally, I have a very high dietary protein requirement, but I try not to eat much red meat - mainly legumes, poultry and fish if I can.

Er... not meat of any kind.

That does include fish.

I do not mind eating eggs

or drinking milk, through.

What about Jell-O?  Gelatin is made of rendered animal connective tissue.  It's also not kosher. X3
