What are your favorite foods and drinks?
I couldn't find a thread for this so I made it. Self-explanatory. Specific dishes, styles, just things you like (e.g. "spicy stuff"), so on. Off thw top of my head...
- What I've had of Japanese curry.
- I don't like ice cream overall but I love mint.
- Anything milk, especially hot chocolate.
- French toast.
- Asparagus, it goes great with basically anything.

Veggies are very important.
Cheese is very appreciated.
Garlic is also very appreciated, as are scallions.
A good balance of flavors is also important. Stronger flavors need to be balanced with blander flavors. (Garlic may be an exception.)
Spiciness, sourness, and bitterness are acceptable but should be presented in limited quantities. Also, please do not overapply soy sauce.
I don't care much for candy. When I do eat candy I prefer Skittles and Starburst. But I've had this bag of Starburst sitting here for forever and the only person who's eaten from it is my housemate.
Examples of foods I like:
* manicotti (pasta tubes filled with ricotta cheese)
* the casado (rice, black beans, veggies, some meat, fried plantains)
* shrimp in lobster sauce (a mix of shrimp and veggies in a thick, light-colored, translucent sauce)
* garlic bread
* a Chipotle burrito containing brown rice, black and pinto beans, fajita veggies, pico de gallo, lettuce, cheese, corn, sour cream, and guacamole
* "leung5 meen6 wong4" - shredded pork cooked (pan-fried) with various veggies, then used as a topping for semi-crispy thin Chinese noodles (so the dish has a mix of crispy and soggy noodles)
* "pei4 dan2 sul3 yook6 jook1" - congee (rice porridge) with preserved duck egg and pork
* scrambled eggs with cheese
* oatmeal porridge
* New England clam chowder
* Progresso canned lentil soup
* "choung1 yul4 beng2" - scallion pancakes (or "scallion oil crackers", literally)
* fried soft-shell crab
sour cream and onion potato chips
corn chips - the kind that you eat with sour cream and salsa and cheese and such
corn chips - the fritos kind
sugar cookies
white chocolate
Arby's roast beef sandwiches
"gon1 tsau2 ŋul4 haw2" - "dry stir-fried beef wide-noodles", literally
fried chicken
watermelon
asparagus
broccoli - if you do this right, the juice of whatever you're cooking gets trapped between the florets, resulting in TONS OF FLAVOR when you bite into the florets.
orange
mango
yogurt
roast duck
"dsah3 dsee2 gii1" - roasted chicken with crispy skins, often served with a special salt for dipping, as well as prawn chips
catfish
eel (such as in unadon)
also this one dish that a vegan place somewhere makes that consists of kale cooked with an obnoxious amount of garlic, and it makes one's mouth just reek with garlic for hours afterward, but i love it
it goes well with their vegan mac and (imitation) cheese, which is relatively bland, so there's a good balance
Whatever it is that you have decided you don't feel like cooking anymore and are about to throw out.
I really hate food waste.
The following can make a full meal:
1. cut up some veggies or empty half a pound (or more) of frozen veggies into a pot. maybe add a few pieces of garlic.
2. put water in pot.
3. bring to a boil.
4. throw in some pasta. about a quarter or fifth of a pound, dry weight.
5. bring to a boil again. don't let it boil over. let it boil until it is the pasta is soft enough to be consumable. after that, continue boiling if you want softer pasta, or stop if you want more chewy pasta.
6. pour the result into a bowl.
7. open a can of black beans, and top the result with some black beans.
that is a meal.
optional: shredded cheese, canned crushed tomatoes, sour cream?, bacon bits?
can also replace the black beans with microwaved chicken nuggets or smoked sausage/kielbasa but eh
oh, yeah, i do like some kinds of sausage, such as kielbasa and smoked sausage and vienna sausage
also i like salted cashews and pistachios
two medium-sized russet potatoes, or the equivalent in any other size of any variety of potatoes
scrub, then cut off any green parts, and any dirty parts
cut them into larger chunks (maybe two chunks per potato, roughly)
put them into microwaveable bowl
microwave with paper towel covering them, for 7 minutes
now you have baked potatoes.
top with anything you want, as desired. salsa, sour cream, cheese, papa john's garlic sauce (suggested you use this alone if you're going to use this one), bacon bits, canned beans, etc.
not necessarily the best thing in the world, but it depends a lot on your toppings, and it provides a very quick way of making a great base upon which to throw some toppings
Pierogis (The ones w/ sauerkraut and mushrooms in them are really good)
Steak (Anything other than medium rare or rare is a sin)
Tofu if cooked right (Agedashi is always nice though I do enjoy baked tofu or mapo tofu)
Baked or fried Eggplant
Pizza
Burgers from The Vortex
Granny Smith apples
Broccoli
Eel
Jiaozi and most variations on Jiaozi (Seriously, if I could live on Jiaozi, I would)
Baozi
Lasagna
Scrambled eggs
Apple and grape juice (Another thing if I could live off of I would)
Crème Brûlée
Bourbon
Tequila, though it depends on the brand
Rum (usually White Rum or Golden, occasionally Dark rum and it really depends on the brand)
Good red wine
A man after my own heart.
Also, I forgot Miso soup. I loooooooove Miso Soup.
Egg drop soup is too.
Also thick stews are in general pretty nice.
Heck, soups in general.
Also, fruit juices.
though I don't have it very often because my mother doesn't like ricotta
she also makes the best baked ziti on the earth
and if she don't like ricotta
then she ain't no friend of mine
(just kidding)
Oh, so is ranch dressing. Ranch dressing with spinach, mushrooms, and cheese is great.
Something I like to do when I get sandwiches at Subway is to ask for half the footlong to get ranch dressing and the other half to get Sweet Onion dressing.
