The Food Discussion Thread I

[La Xinga]

They are tasty. They are Filipino foods.

That's probably why I don't know them!

Imagine preferring peppers and onions to olives

Weirdos

Why not all of the above? I like me a "garbage can pizza" -- black olives, peppers, onions, banana peppers, mushrooms, pepperoni and sausage with the normal cheese and tomato sauce.

Mmm figs are delicious.

You know what else sounds disgusting, but is actually SOO good? Rhubarb. Rhubarb and strawberry pies are easily a top 5 pie.

Yes. But DON'T eat the rhubarb leaves, only the stems.

I've made a black cherry/rhubarb reduction to go over roasted duck breast; it was divine.

Anyways, do you like green olives or black olives more? However, is preferring green olives over black olives racist? We shall figure this out.

Different olives for different things. In some salads and on pizza I prefer black olives. In seasoned chopped meat and Piñón, the green manzanilla olives, preferably stuffed with pimiento, stands up better and is more savory.

I like olives, but in the UK at least it is only worth buying the expensive ones. Some horrible cheap ones around.

I've always used black olives for cooking, and eaten the green stuffed ones as a snack or in martinis.

And do you use olive oil?

I use olive oil in all things, even steaks

Yes, love my olive oil. Shame Brexit is making it much more expensive.

This company -- unfortunately, I think they went out of business -- used to do these brilliant gluten-free vegetable pizzas with peppers and onion and I think there was some aubergine on there and something a green vegetable that currently escapes my memory (I found them at a gluten-free food fair), with the cheese and tomato sauce.

Even the best gluten-free bases available now can't quite compete to those.

Yes, love my olive oil. Shame Brexit is making it much more expensive.

Food prices seem to be going up already; the bill seems to rise each week.

I love olive oil, too. It's a cooking staple for me -- especially marinades and dressings. Although, some recipes call for sunflower oil, so I have both. They're both pretty healthy apparently (as long as you're not guzzling the stuff like wine ), I looked it up.

[Katganistan]

Has anyone ever eaten a cold Sausage McMuffin with Egg?

I despise breakfast sausage -- it has a chemical taste to me. I can't imagine it being cold improving it.

Egg McMuffin and hash browns for me, though.

The real secret to amazing mash is white pepper.

[Katganistan]

you guys ever have pony meat? its AMAZING! Like the tears and sadness of a little girl seeped into the very fabric of the meat to give it this succulent, savory taste that cant compare with other animals.

No but I have tried frogs, snails, and ostrich meat

You recommend horse meat?

I've had boar, venison (both deer and elk), escargot, ostrich, and alligator tail meat, to name a few.

I once bought a crow pie at a food festival. It's something I regretted.

I am rather fond of rook, though.

Add some heavy cream to it and rejoin the heavenly host!

I would imagine.... I don't think I'd try a carrion eater.

Oh, I tried bear sausage, too. Incredibly greasy and gamey, though cut a LOT with barley. Not a fan.

I'd rather be damned and stick with butter and pepper.

Sorry, Kat.

Heathen of mash potatoes #2?

[Fartsniffage]

To answer the poll question, it's a toss-up between rum and raisin or clotted cream ice cream.

[An Alan Smithee Nation]

Pistachio ice cream for me.

[La Xinga]

Pistachio ice cream for me.

Isn't that like mint?

[Fartsniffage]

Pistachio ice cream for me.

Isn't that like mint?

No. Pistachio is a nut.

[An Alan Smithee Nation]

Pistachio ice cream for me.

Isn't that like mint?

Well it's green, but they certainly don't taste remotely the same.

[La Xinga]

I must be stupid then.

[Geneviev]

The poll was easy. Anything that includes cookies is good.

Vanilla, obviously:

Does rum raisin have real rum? I don’t wanna get drunk eating ice cream.
