I am very surprised that pasta doesn’t get more votes.

I mean, there’s linguini carbonara, beef lasagna, spaghetti bolognese, spaghetti with clams

Just listing this makes me salivate

And that’s not even counting ramen

A side of pasta in gravy works excellent for a well done juicy steak with some wine.

Rice is just such a good vehicle for anything; the sauce seeping into it when you're done with the main dish makes it even better.

Indeed. It chews well with Thai curries abs the local takeout meals.

It’s not bad

Baguette and croissant vs pizza... who wins?

I say pizza

However, a good fresh baguette with cheese and salami is quite splendid

Pizza wins in theory but it's not exactly the healthiest so I only have it occassionally (yes, I'm actually not fat... unlike stereotypes some people have about where I'm from.)

I eat baguettes and similar long breads a lot. I just had one even.

If I can find a place that serves it, I’ll definitely try congee.

Taiwan has lots of good options

In HK too

Taiwan and HK are way too far from me but I’m moving to a more cosmopolitan place so I may find a restaurant that serves congee. Maybe.

I’ve heard that croissants can be a bit on the oily side

[The South Appalachian Region]

I was referring specifically to baguettes though.

A pizza-baguette. Don't know if that exists, but it should. It would be tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese on a toasted baguette. A sub sandwich. I would eat it. TG me if you think I should make it

If so, I will make it and post a photo

The best staple food is buckwheat. It's a source of complex carbohydrates, is rich in protein, which is as bioavailable as meat at 90%, and, because it's a pseudocereal, there is no gluten in it. I have it for breakfast, and sometimes make chicken broth with it.

Tomato sauce cheese and bread is always a tasty combination. Enjoy

Sure! I’d like to see what it looks like

Are you making?

When I get the chance

I'm currently in 'deep' quarantine because I'm going skiing in Vermont

But by the end of the year, I will have made it.

There's a deli chain in Belgium called Panos that sells panizza, which is...sort of a pizza panini.

Don't think they use tomato sauce, though, so it feels like a bit of a misnomer.

We have a problem, the Chinese restaurant we go to Xmas day is closed down due to covid.

Ours is open for delivery. We won't be able to go there because we are going skiing. They have the best dumplings though. They are so good. I'm not exaggerating.

I'm not getting the usual Christmas meal this year. But the baking has begun!

Sadly, no feast this year.

90% sure we'll still have the breakfast, though, so that's important.

I got a dim sum place in flushing that will knock your socks off

But its a tradition, and flushing is a little too far

And the chocolate supplies stacking? Is it underway?

For the first time in my life, I'm not hoarding chocolate this year.

Takeout dim sum just isn't the same as sitting down at the oversized table with the lazy Susan and ordering dishes upon dishes from the passing trolleys until you're stuffed to the gills with food and tea... I miss my local dim sum place.

Oh no!
