Your favourite food(s)

[countryboy]

We all have some favourite things we like to eat...could be that special snack, sandwich, lunch dish, or full-bore dinner with all the trimmings. (I have more than one as I've always been a bit of a foodie)

Care to share that special food thing or things that you just love? It might be a lot of fun to see what foodies across the country are 'hooked on.'

Sounds sinfully great. And, the homemade rosemary and raisin crisps sound mysteriously delicious! But, no wine with it?

My favorite food is the edible type. I love native Canadian, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, fish n chips English style, Russian, Spanish, roast beast with Yorkie turnovers, Italian, German, Ukrainian, Polish, Mexican, pastrami on rye, corned beef on rye, pizza, soups, dukunus, pretty much any kind of fish, tamales, belijun, etc. It's pretty much a see-food diet.

Years ago, I was served a simple dessert that I just can't forget...it was a fresh-made green apple ice cream with a shot of chilled B & B poured over top. Simple but fantastic. Have tried to duplicate it many times but it's just not the same...

Oooh...a lady after me own heart! OK then, how about naming a favourite...um...MEXICAN dish? (Or more than one if you like...)

The blueberry-peach-raspberry pies you can buy at some grocery stores....

Personally, I am a sea food lover. I sea (sic) food, I eat it.

Mexican rice is a fave. Preferable with banana pepper or cayenne rather than jalapeno (jalapeno is all heat, no flavor, IMO). Burritos are a fave and I like pretty much any burrito innards. Enchiladas are pretty tasty. Spiced baked spuds with crema is awesome.

Never tried one with raspberry in it but sounds good. I have a friend who bakes pies and sells them at farmers markets...they're the real deal, right down to the lard in the pie crust, rendered from her neighbor's pasture raised pigs. Her's have peach and blueberry in them, but I'll have to "suggest" she try adding some raspberries too...yum.

Lemon meringue pies. Strawberry anything. Sask. berry jelly.

That all sounds yum-yum...spiced bakes spuds with 'crema'...can you tell me a bit more about that one? Not familiar with it...

My mother's cottage has the front lawn half in blueberries...I remember one fine summer day, spent there with my parents, my mother picked berries and baked pies, and I think between the 3 of us, we ate 4 whole blueberry pies that day.

Gawd, I haven't had dinner yet and now my head is swimming with food fantasies! Hey Johnny...rye bread is one of my "go to" staples too. I've found there are many different styles and versions out there too...generally speaking, do you like with or without caraway seeds? (Seems one either likes 'em or hates em...I tend to like them).

(Jeez, this is almost as good as "talkin' dirty!" Almost.) :lol:

Mm...talk about a beautifully stained face! We only get Saskatoons up here in the BC Interior, but I prefer blueberries. Have to 'import' them from the Fraser Valley. Boy, that is one healthy treat though...lotsa' antioxidants in them, and they're mighty tasty...If I had your mother's property, I'd likely be lookin' to fix the other half of the lawn! :lol:

Hi. My name is Tracy and I'm a see food lover too. Especially sugary goo carmel, chocolate, cheese cake, chocolate, melted cheese in greasy bread stuff. Not big on meat though. :lol:

The spuds I had were spiced with flakes of pepper, garlic, and onions and served with crema (CRAY ma is the pronunciation I heard) and here's a couple recipes for it:

Crema I
This version is particularly good with spicy dishes.

• 1 C Whipping cream
• 2 T Cultured buttermilk (2% or 4%)

Gently stir together the whipping cream and buttermilk in a small non-reactive bowl. Loosely cover the bowl, and allow it to sit at room temperature between 8 and 24 hours until thickened and tangy. Stir well, cover and refrigerate. Crema will keep for at least one week. Makes just over 1 cup. A word of caution: This is not the time to try out the vinegar/milk buttermilk substitution. If you don't have any buttermilk in the house, I'm afraid you're just going to have to make trip to the store.
Crema II
A bit more pourable, this version is excellent with fresh fruit, your favorite poundcake, and fruit pies and cobblers.

• 1 C Whipping cream
• 1 C Sour cream

Again, gently stir together the whipping cream and sour cream in a small non-reactive bowl. Cover the bowl, and allow it to sit at room temperature for 4 to 5 hours until thickened and tangy. Stir well, cover and refrigerate. Makes 2 cups.
