Interesting way to see what we eat and hate here. Mine: Best =Wild game or Lasagna Worse= Cakes and Pies or Feta Cheese
I can't stand ketchup on anything...or beets...blech..I don't even keep ketchup in the house...I don't like pickles unless they're kosher..or fried...I love fried pickles! (uh..that may be a Southern thing??) Is it?? I love oysters , shrimp..and blue crabs.... (really...he's right..nothing else like them..any of them...) It's great...oyster roasts in the back yard..Or a day with a dip net..a string and a chicken neck catching crabs..and just steaming them..and put newspaper down all over the table...blue crabs are just soooo sweet...I just love 'em... I swear I can eat my weight in crab meat.... eat a lot of fish...Grouper, Whiting..Sea Bass..Reds...Trout...Tuna..(medium rare..or just seared) Oh..I love boiled peanuts too... that's about it...I'm easy... I eat a lot of vegetables...okra..green beans...squash..zuchinni..I love to stir fry veggies in Olive Oil with fresh minced garlic..and love them all! I love to stir fry fresh spinach..and bean sprouts...heck..I just love stir fried vegetables..any of them...except beets..blech... But the one thing I cannot imagine not having ever again?? Key Lime Pie. Real Key Lime Pie..not that green stuff people pass off as Key Lime Pie...OMG..I just love it.... There's a place in Key West that will Fed Ex frozen Key lime pie..on a popsicle stick..dipped in dark chocolate...???? A box of them...OMG! To die for...
I don't ever again plan to eat okra, no matter how it is prepared. I can easily do without turnips. Now, then, if you would like to see me starve to death, put a pork roast, a chocolate cake, and shrimp in any form in front of me, and I will waste away before your very eyes, unable to decide which to gorge on first.. :dunno:
CRC, you sound like my daughter.she gets a burger no pickles no ketchup..no ketchup on anything. Beets don't even ask... other than that she likes everything. Me..haven't met a food i didn't like.
Um, well lets see. Don't like: Mushrooms, don't care what you say they have a flavor and a texture I just can't stand. Also Olives, no olives on or in anything please. Favs: Homemade lasagna and spagetti, fresh fish (cooked, don't do the raw thing) Now shellfish, peanuts, and almonds (or anything containing those foods) I will die before I eat them, infact with the nuts I get a fate worse than death, 3 days of the runs . And shellfish, well lets just say if I wanted to kill myself quickly that's one way I could do it.
A couple unusual favorites of mine. Dove Hearts & Noodles During dove season we save up all the hearts and and cook up a big pot of hearts and noodles at the end. God it's awesome! Fried Morels & Bluegill Fillets - My favorite spring tradition, and since the morels are coming out now... it's time!! Wifey just polished off the last of the buffalo heart stroganoff. Definately in the top 10. Beef or Buffalo tongue w/ gravy. Jaegerschnitzel - A holdout from my days in Germany. Mousaka - A greek lasagna.. kinda... with eggplant. Not sure the spelling is right. Grilled Spoonbill steaks (aka Paddlefish) Mushroom anything Seafood just about anything
OMG! Greek food! How could I forget that??? My sister worked in a Greek restaurant in Charleston for 4 yrs..for Spyro and Stavros... to die for!!! Yes...mousaka...Ossa Bucco...
So..I had to go order some of those "Key Lime Surprises"..and found out they're so good...that KD Moore wrote a song about them...and Fingers Taylor..(harpist that played with Buffett for a long time..) is on the album....now I have to buy THAT too! :dunno: I thought I'd seen most everything…. then...just the other night.. saw my girl outside of Kermit's…with a most decadent delight.. Dipped in Belgian chocolate….she likes hers extra thick… nothing says paradise like Key Lime…Key Lime Pie….on a stick.. I like my pie with coffee….an after dinner treat and I like to start the day off….with the taste of something sweet I don't know what they were thinkin'….it's a clever trick.. nothing says paradise like Key Lime…Key Lime Pie….on a stick.. You should have seen her smile….taking that first bite Her eyes rolled back….knees went weak…it was a most disturbing sight.. (let's leave the next verse out...... ) better this way... Now every other Tuesday….I stop at…. Elizabeth and Greene I rush home with my order….she waits impatiently.. Greets me in the doorway…..hunger in her eyes… won't be long…two more bites 'till my..….Key Lime …My Key Lime surprise… I like my pie with coffee….an after dinner treat and I like to start the day off….with the taste of something sweet Now I know what they were thinkin'….it's a clever trick.. nothing says paradise like Key Lime ..Key Lime Pie…on a stick.. yeah...nothing says paradise like Key Lime…Key Lime Pie….on a stick……… Her eyes rolled back….knees went weak…it was a most disturbing sight.. and yeah..I understand this....they are amazing..
The good: Fried shrimp, Steak rare/med. rare fried catfish pizza The bad: Turnip Greens most casseroles Tuna Tomatoes (but I like ketchup, yeah, I know I am weird.) Pigs feet (that just sound gross, but beef tongue is good!)
I knew that was coming...(pls insert eye rolling here) You know......nah.....I'll behave....dang it...
