Food - did someone mention food. Here are a few of my favourites, heavily weighted on the dessert side:
ReplyDeleteLancashire hotpot
Spaghetti bolognese
Anything with dumplings
Lemon Meringue pie
Bread and butter pudding
Chocolate mousse
These are winter comfort foods for me. In summer I love all mixed veg and fruit salads, new potatoes.
I'm so at home in the kitchen making Indian food too.
Sadly, no longer any dairy products for me.
ReplyDeleteBut I eat chocolate.
Goulash
Pickled and Spiced Beef Pot Roast
Sour dough bread
Anchovies in a mixed sweet roast peppers and tuna salad
Ripe Avocado vinaigrette
Lamb casserole with apricots
and
couscous, pasta, Indian rice and German potato cakes, not all at the same time.
I'm so happy to find you. I'm a Newfie living in Nova Scotia who longs to be back on The Rock; I'm always happy to find someone who blogs AND lives in NL ..... even if I cry all the way through the posts.
ReplyDeleteFish and chips! Sadly, Americans have never heard of them. (We don't count the apology for this tasty dish that's sold under the title by certain US (so-called) 'restaurants'). It's worth a transatlantic flight once in a while, just to taste the real thing once more (preferably washed down with a pint (or two) of Boddington's best bitter!)
ReplyDeleteI'll have:
ReplyDeleteStuffed mushrooms to start
Boiled lobsta' with clarified butter
Red skinned smashed potatoes with garlic flavored olive oil
Grand Marnier chocolate mousse topped with orange peel whipped cream
Black current-apricot brandy cocktail on the rocks
and finally nice Dark French roast with cream and sugar to finish...
CHECK PLEASE...no no, he's buying...(always tastes better that way) ahahah LOL ;D
I don't think I ever eat as many as 10 different things. My diet is not that varied, but I enjoyed seeing what other people liked to eat.
ReplyDeleteOh creamy baking potatoes. With real butter on. But then I am Irish!
ReplyDeleteI'd get along so well with all of you, I love the choices.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the real McCoy fish 'n chips are served here in Newfoundland all the time, RJA. Battered cod and the best chips. You'd fit in well.

I've only explored this since I semi-retired or claimed more than 5% Hattie :)
ReplyDeleteI truly love cooking and baking and making things from scratch.

That's funny - since I don't eat meat there are few things on your list I could eat. Scallops without the bacon, bread, mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteFor myself, in no particular order:
wine
chocolate
lobster/blue crab
lasagna
good bread
brie (or a variety of other good cheeses)
berries of any sort
sushi
bagels and lox
salad with mixed greens, avocado, nuts and kalamata olives
Toast.

Mmmm... Food...
ReplyDeleteSo many favourites:
Lemon Meringue pie (home made - it has to have ginger biscuits for the base, and commercial places seem to only make it with pastry)
Asparagus - we look forward to the asparagus season everywhere, and eat it three or four times a week for the six weeks or so that you can buy it.
Tomatoes - only if I've picked them from my own plants, though - nothing more satisfying than tomatoes fresh from the vine. (and same goes for anything else home grown)
Rare steak (one of the few things I prefer to eat out - try as I might, I can't cook it as well as the professionals)
Pretty much anything made out of chocolate!
Sadly, nothing spicy any more - stupid stomach :-( (still love spices / chilli / curries, but they don't like me)
The tastiest mushrooms I ever ate were the ones we picked as children from nearby fields and cooked by the open fire. We pulled out the stalks and placed the caps upside-down on the hearth with a sprinkle of salt, turned them once or twice, then waited for them to fill with juice. Simple and unforgettable.
