What are your favorite foods and/or drinks?

[Buster's Uncle]

YES.  My international friends are so interesting and educational to talk to.

[Bertilak]

I have had, and liked, on occasion green tea with peach juice. I find it refreshing.

[JarlWolf]

I like booze. Mainly Whiskey, Vodka, bit of wine, and some beers and ales. I find Rum hurts my stomach too much, Scotch is expensive.

I am a proud meat eater. Could give a damn about animal rights, domesticated animals are what they are titled: domesticated. They would not survive in the wild, they are overpopulated to begin with and they have no other purpose other to be ate. It sounds cruel but its the truth.

However for hunting, that's different. Unregulated hunting and poaching  OR SPORT HUNRTING ESPECIALLY I see is unnecessary and debilitating to an environment. Regulated hunters that hunt for food, and trust me, you people may live in a nice comfortable area with capitalized grocery stores and hippies, but in many parts of the world and my country sometimes things get lean. I've been isolated for two whole weeks out in my home and when I can't safely drive out to purchase food, I resort to capturing wild harvest and eating it.

I love seafood to boot too. Especially crab.

Perhaps I should have said beverages . Would that have made any difference?

Just picked me up some lemonhead in ye olde penny candy box.  Not a penny any more, but still one of the better candies ever made.

Dio "Perhaps I should have said beverages . Would that have made any difference?"

I think flow of conversation, it doesn't matter what you call it.

I'm probably going to want South African Stolenbosch Cabernet blends with my steaks, A lime daquirri with a salmon or arctic char , Spotted cow cream ale style beer with my perch fish fry, Lambrusco with my Pizza,  and a coke with my burger, hot chocolate with marshmallows with my peanut butter toast. It's natural flow of conversation when we think about what we like to eat.

Booze is a full course meal. Booze is staple, coffee disgusts me and Tea doesn't wake me up. I have a shot of booze right in the morning to shock my system into alert. It does the trick.

Waffles with ICE?  ICE?  I've never heard of such a thing? 


Its hard to find foods I DON'T like, that's the problem. 

Then you haven't tried Hákarl, the icelandic fermented shark. I haven't tried it myself, but Anthony Bourdain (my guide to everything weird you can eat) says it's one of the three worst things he's ever eaten. It's apparently like sucking on a spunge dipped in pure ammonia...

I like classical swedish food, Fried pork with onion sauce and potatoes, Kalops (a meat stew containing beef, onions, carrots and spiced with bay leaf and allspice, served with boiled potatoes and pickled beetroot) Grynkorv ( a raw sausage made from pork and beef with barley spiced with cloves, ginger and allspice boiled in salted water and bayleafs) with a mustard sauce. Veal in a dill sauce made sweet and sour by a mixture of white vinegar and sugar, served with potatoes of course. Basically I'm a meat & potatoes guy

I found a recipe for the veal dish, it's been slightly altered to suit the american palate and I always blanch the veal first to remove some of the gunk. Also in Sweden we use a white vinegar with 12% acetic acid for a more potent sauce

Come to think of it, this is probably a better recipe (courtesy of Google Translate)

The smell of lutefisk was offputting enough that I never want to try IT either, and hope there's a special circle of hell for coworkers who shove THAT in the microwave.

I toured the far north this summer, and managed to avoid it.

Thankfully, lutfisk is only eaten once a year around christmas. I never touch the stuff. It's weird with all these "traditional" foods that noone really likes but we eat it anyway because "it's not a proper christmas without it"...

[Buster's Uncle]

Like poundcake, yeah.
