Favorite food?

[Long_and_winding_road]

Hummus has grown on me tremendously. When I moved in to my current city 6 years ago, me and my family would go to a big chain Arab fast food restaurant. It had a plate of appetizers that was different kinds of bread with a lot of sauces. It was really good. The restaurant then closed, and the new one that replaced it in the exact place it used to be in has a hummus plate with pita bread. It's really tasty. I also eat the rest of the hummus with some cheese sfihas.

Hummus is delicious indeed!

I have way too many favorite foods, but i basically like every kind of dessert and sweet stuff.

have you tried making your own? it's relatively straight forward and you can get a lot of portions from just one can of chickpeas. You can experiment with additions and spices. it's really good with added ras al hanout and sundried tomatoes.

Plus, you can make hummus from anything, l have used white beans. It's delicious. Right now, l love avocados, tomatoes, homemade anything.

Really, really tough choice, but I often default to tacos as my favorite. I'm a big fan of Asian food too, though, and certain salads.

Hummus is among my favorites as well, especially with Naan bread or pretzels.

There used to be Thai ice cream at a mall in my city. Not only did it close, but also the one in my home town. It might have been my favorite food ever.

I have only had Thai ice cream once in my life and I loved it!
Sad to hear that the ice cream shops closed I hope you find another one.

My favourite food has always been the Meat Pie. Tasty, filling, cheap, and easy to eat one handed. It's always funny watching tourists try to eat one with a knife and fork too.

I would definitely try to eat that with a knife and fork...
Although here, we have mini fruit flavored pies that are meant to be eaten with just your hands. I think the brand is called "Table Talk." I don't know if that's just a New England thing or if it's all over the US.

The equivalent would be you watching someone try to eat a hotdog with knife and fork. Meat pies are the most common food eaten at football and cricket matches and they're also available hot in service stations because they're something hot and filling that can be eaten while driving.

Cheese. I think I might have some mouse DNA.

Not to put too fine a point on such a question, but that said, "GIVE ME TACOS OR GIVE ME DEATH!"

The only reason for Tuesdays in my world. No knives or forks required.

I bought sriracha cheddar cheese from Wisconsin, l am in love, gave a package of same to my mom from Aldi.

Hahahah, I eat my hotdogs with a fork and knife. Got an issue with that @Outdated! I jest.

No I do not eat hotdogs in a bun with cutlery. But yes when I am having baked beans & hotdogs then I'm eating them with a knife and fork. The baked beans are done in molasses and surprisingly pair well with hotdogs. I'm reasonably certain it's just a local regional dish. But yeah you just have the hotdogs with no bun on the plate with the beans. - Thank you for this side topic Ted Talk.


To answer the actual post, favorite dish for me would have to be rigatoni with any sort of very carnivore inspired spicy meat sauce. Noodles in general, I can't get enough. Also do not invite me for supper if you have only bought one loaf of french bread, baguette. I have been known to just eat entire baguettes, no butter, just a loaf of bread. So I guess really, my favorite food is the carb. Give me all the carbs please.

I would agree on the carbs, and now they have turned the new food pyramid upside down.

Most Aussies don't like hotdogs. The concept of sausage in a bun with condiments happens here too but the actual hotdog sausages are not liked by many people at all. By far the most popular here are plain beef sausages and we fry them instead of boil them, usually with onions.

Sausages and baked beans on toast is a very common British meal too except I'm not sure they'd like their beans in maple syrup, they tend to have a more savoury cultural palette.

It's a similar deal with the Aussie meat pie, the idea comes straight from England but over there they make pork pies that are small snack sized things filled with pork and congealed fat and they're eaten cold. Aussie pies are made with lean beef and each is a full meal eaten hot. If it's not hot enough to cause serious burns then it's not a pie, it's just a luke warm bag of salmonella.

People in cold climates seem to like fatty and sugary foods where as if you try to eat like that here you'll melt in the summer heat.

Assorted breads from different cultures and flavors.
The CNN docu series Tony Shaloub Breaking Bread was very interesting to me and always left me wanting to try various breads.
Frybread with Bison stew, ummm! Native American.

Add meats and vegetables for a rounded meal. The meat pies mentioned by @Outdated are something I would like.
For some reason, I am not much for sweets. Maybe a small amount of ice cream or cake for dinner dessert.

I was never a fan of sickly sweet things. Pavlova is considered to be one of our national deserts but I can't stand it, even as a kid I hated it. I eat icecream maybe once every 3 years.

Many US franchise have failed in Australia simply because they don't bother to adjust their menu to suit Aussie tastes, Starbucks is a classic example of this, Aussies don't recognise them as a coffee shop because when you walk in the door it smells like an icecream parlour and most of their drinks they offer have very little in relation to what Aussies call coffee. (That and the fact that they're twice the price of a local cafe.)

That doesn't surprise me about the cold climate thing and liking fatty/sugary foods. I can still recall the winter camping advice I got from one Scout leader to eat something high fat just before bed to help keep warm. He'd suggested a big hunk of cheese actually.
