Stop on in and talk about your favorite food dishes!

 

Made macaroni and cheese with diced tomatoes last night!

 

I am a foodie! Not sure where to begin. How 'bout just a good ole stadium dog. I'm not sure there is a food/place combo that goes together better. Movie/popcorn maybe?

 

This is Halushki, fried cabbage, onions and egg noodles. I like putting cottage cheese on top of it, when served

 

This would probably fit in great over in the Watercooler Section. Much more traffic there as well.

 

Too many to choose from but, grilled wahoo with wasabi/garlic butter or, grilled tuna with a mango salsa! Mind you, the fish has to be FRESH! Best if you caught it same day!

 

Beef Wellington
Oysters
Grouper straight out of the gulf
Just about anything curry

 

now you're talking!

 

Molé Poblano
Birria
Tacos de lengua

 

Fresh Tuna Heart 3O MILES OUT OBX

Easier to list least favorites
Beef Liver thats it.

 

I Love Beef Liver, and onions.

 

Oh god

my parents loved liver and onions. My sister and I not so much. In our house you ate what was put in front of you, period. You sat at the dining room table until you finished. I’ve always been a stubborn bastard so I would sit there for hours until the liver was stone cold and exponentially worse. Eventually I learned to smother it in ketchup. Still terrible, but couldn’t taste much other than really mineraly ketchup

 

My Sister was like You. LoL...., and My folks were exactly the same about it. I used to tell her....whatever You don't like....eat it 1st, as fast as you can. She'd say ....that's easy for you because You like everything. LoL. That's why I was a very fat kid. LoL

 

It doesn’t help that my mother was a terrible cook. I don’t think she’s ever heard of salt and pepper. Vegetables were always steamed and never seasoned at all. Not even butter. Hell I wouldn’tt be surprised if someone from their junior varsity west borough baptist church convinced her everyone was going to hell if you used salt and pepper. To this day I can’t stand Lima Beans and I’m throughly convinced had anyone else prepared Lima beans my take would be different.

 

LoL

 

Glory brand canned veggies are excellent. The seasonings are perfect. I never make greens from scratch anymore. I very much recommend trying their lima beans, @strummerfan. Blackeye peas, cabbage, greens, lima beans, everything I have tried from Glory has been great.
There is another brand that I cannot remember that is a very good product too. I believe it is someone’s name.

I am also a fan of liver and onions. I’ll even order it at a restaurant. I have heard that it has to do with how your taste buds are wired. Just like for some people cilantro tastes like soap, or any form of potato tastes like dirt. Not an ‘acquired taste’, just how you’re built.

 

That was always our ritual on charter boats. You had to eat the heart of your first albacore. Surprisingly good!

 

Rule in our house was, "eat it hot for dinner, or cold for breakfast" Still, there were some things we would rather starve to death than eat. Ketchup being one thing. Tuna casserole was another.......

 

I guess I'm wired differently. There is nothing I won't eat. There are things I prefer, but nothing I won't eat. Like pork....I'm not a huge fan of. I will eat it , but outside of Italian sausage....I never purchase it, but again....I will eat it.

 

Muskrat?

I sure as hell wouldn’t eat that again unless the situation was dire

 

LoL
Never had it, but if I was at someones place, and they were serving it . I'd eat it.

 

like you didn't see this being prepped for the grill

 

I have eaten plenty of wild game. I don't recall muskrat though. You cannot just prepare all meats the same and get good results. Different types of meat usually require different way to prepare.

Lots of dove and quail too. I have no desire for more if only because there's so much work with so little payoff. Too many bones with not enough meat to me.

 

Gotta go Hanover Brands lol.

One thing I've noticed is
Whenever I bust up a head of iceberg my upper lip curls like Billy Idol

 

I got an instant pot and we bought airfryer lid, so we can airfry. I just airfryed my first ribeye, tasted like it was off the grill. Too hot 110 outside to grill outside and way too hot to use oven inside. Turned out great.
