What's your idea of a good dinner?

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I dont think I have a favorite meal, it depends on what I am in the mood for, what I have eaten the days before. I also dont think we Americans do eating right, we eat because we need to, we should eat because we enjoy the food.

So tonite I want sushi

Miso soup, a small salad, a couple appetizers, gyoza and shumi, then a large sushi-sashimi plate washed down with copious amount of sake.

That sounds delicious. Including the sake.

I’d add some edamame and, for dessert, macha ice cream. Or mochi.

[Tokora]

Pizza. Always pizza.

[Greater Loegria]

Hmm a hard one. A decent English roast would be one: roast joint of beef, lamb or venison -real fucking meat not some vegetable like chicken. Then add roasted potatoes, Yorkshire pudding; homemade of course with beer in the batter, make some sage and chestnut stuffing, roasted root vegetables and maybe some peas and whatnot then make a rich gravy. Serve with horseradish, mint or redcurrant jelly and frothing vessels of stout or ale.

I’m a huge fan of other hearty meals such as stews, meat pies and traditional breakfasts.

A good dinner should have an abundance of meat, alcohol, excellent company and conversation and it’s nice to be able to smoke between courses too.

A proper dinner should comprise a soup, a light starter, the main course, a sweet dessert, cheeses and then retire for coffee. The food courses should be accompanied by wine until the dessert course in which case it must be a dessert wine and the cheeses paired with port. The coffee ought to be offered with liquor.

Just put a plate of a medium rare steak and some rice and that I’ll consider good enough. I don’t have any higher expectations than that.

[Bear Stearns]

Steak (always a medium porterhouse), steamed spinach, and scotch.

[Nolo gap]

There's over 200 countries. That finna be a lot of food

[Liriena]

It's either homemade pizza and Pritty, mushroom and chicken risotto and Pritty, or the fake stew I just invented and Pritty.

Honorary mention for all manner of pasta, but specially ravioli with homemade tomato sauce, and lentil stew and wine.

As much as I love Japanese food, the red bean food items are some of the few things I really can't dig.

[StarArmy]

Pulled pork barbecue with carolina gold (mustard-based) sauce , macaroni and cheese (the good kind like grandma made), collared greens, shrimp and grits, fresh-baked buttermilk biscuits. Pecan pie for dessert.

Everybody's gangster till you're looking for beans at 3 AM and upon finding them, you realize they're red

Red beans are ok, man. I just don’t dig the red bean paste used in certain Japanese sweets. Probably because it’s not a taste I grew up with.

...you eat glaze alone? How can you separate the glaze from the glazed item?
Also, mooses as in the plural of moose? Elk as dessert?

Well, one can cook meat and use wine to glaze it, but it doesn't strike me as a dessert.

[Luziyca]

One where I don't cook it. Ideally, it'd include either burgers, pepperoni pizza, or a perogy poutine, but alas...

[US-SSR]

a rye Old Fashioned
foie gras a la torchon
oysters on the half shell
mussels cioppino
filet mignon wrapped with bacon, rare to the point of bloodiness; or halibut saltimbocca, because bacon makes everything better
asparagus sauteed in olive oil and garlic; or well-roasted veggies
duchess potatoes piped around the edge of the plate and browned under the broiler
a Viogner and/or a nice California old vine Zinfandel
creme brulee with seasonal fruit; or chocolate creme brulee with a habanero port wine reduction and dried cherries
coffee
Courvoisier and/or 20-year-old port that's been kept in the fridge
a rye Manhattan and a Punch Rothschild

most likely followed by a high colonic...but just think of it...mmm..mmm...

just thought i left out the salad course, so:

Caesar salad with extra anchovies; or field greens dressed with caviar

do i win the dinner menu game or what?

[Lanoraie II]

I personally cannot stand "normal" dinners like chicken with vegetables. It's super boring to me and I was fed that shit growing up. Does not spark joy. But you wanna know what does spark joy? Quinoa-stuffed winter squash with cranberries and pistachios. Or a chickpea and sweet potato breakfast burrito.

[Thepeopl]

Fresh vegetables, fish or meat or fowl or tofu or falafel, a carbohydrate source like pasta, rice, potatoes or bread,
Spices.
Love nutmeg, peppers, cardamom, curry, ginger etc. It depends on the dish which flavours i use.

But a good dinner is a well prepared diverse meal with clear flavours/ surprising flavours.
