    Your Favorite kissing Food

    Seriously, I'm gay for food. My wife is the opposite.

    When I was a kid, we were broke ass. I ate popcorn for dinner. We ate casseroles. In college we ate ramen and beer. My roommate from the Bronx called tomato sauce "gravy".

    Now that I make a good fifty K, I eat like I make a hundred K. I love food. Finally I'm not poor. I love foie gras, toro (the good sushi), caviar, god, kiss. I am going broke because of my food addiction.

    I used to live with a friend who loved food like me. We kissing cooked. We cooked squid, crab, damn it. I miss this more than I can explain.

    My wife grew up in a family just like mine, but she took it differently. We ate poor at home, so restaurants were the shit. Her family were a bit too much, so restaurants (and food) became torture.

    I love food, ok? Tell me about the food you love. It's ok if you throw down some gin beforehand.

    I don't have any good food stories or big food knowledge. So... all I can say here is that Nachos are #1 for me

    I'm a big fan of cooking and eating good food.

    TBH my favorite foods are probably pepperoni pizza and bacon cheeseburgers, but I can't say no to this great duck recipe my wife and I make often with a spice blend of sea salt, juniper berries, cracked pepper and allspice.

    I love good steaks too. Three trips to Argentina I probably ate about ten total cows. It's never been the same since. I can't find good steak here anymore, but I keep looking.

    My favorite kissing food would have to be English Cucumbers with a side of vaseline.

    Tonight:

    Dry rub pork tenderloin and ribs (my own secret spice mix) smoked with applewood from our orchard, yellow squash and bi-color corn on the cob, kirby cucumber salad all from the farmers market. Fresh picked apples ... Octoberfest beer.

    Sat outside and burned the chopped up logs from the birch tree until my eyes nearly fused shut from the smoke.

    Life = good

    I love preserved meat. I love a great imported prosciutto. Most are too salty, but the non-salty ones are great. I especially love the fat. Sometimes I throw out the meat and just eat the fat. There is this thing called [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lardo"]Lardo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Lardo_di_Colonnata.JPG" class="image"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Lardo_di_Colonnata.JPG/250px-Lardo_di_Colonnata.JPG"@@AMEPARAM@@commons/thumb/f/fa/Lardo_di_Colonnata.JPG/250px-Lardo_di_Colonnata.JPG[/ame] which is just the fat. I can't find it here.

    I also love landjager, but not all kinds. I can't really find good preserved meat here. The best thing I can find, and I eat it every weak, is salame secchi from Columbus. I can get this at Trader Joes. It is not too salty. It is preserved in mold, penicillin I think.



    My poor man's substitute for all the cured meats I can't find here is bacon. I love raw bacon, as in cooked for just a minute or two. My germaphobe friend told me that most cases of trichinosis come from people who eat road kill, and that I'm more likely to get something from unwashed lettuce than raw bacon.

    Second to those, I love toro. Polk neg-repped me for killing off a dying species, but I don't care. If you don't want to die, stop tasting so good. I remember when I first started eating sushi, of course, I only ate rolls. I tried the just-fish a few times, but it always tasted fishy (bad sushi places). Now that I live near a great Japanese restaurant, I've been enlightened. I love hamachi with jalapeno on top, but belly-tuna is the best. I eat it every chance I can afford it because it is almost gone. I'm told that even at the outrageous prices it goes for, that is still sold as a loss for most restaurants, just so they can say that they sell it.



    Foie gras is another one like that. I mean, I thought I was an animal lover until I tried that. No amount of animal loving can compete with it. I'm sorry. Frankly, I understand why people are pissed about it. In a way, it is a little like hotdogs. If you love it, don't try and figure out where it comes from. If you know where it comes from, I understand not wanting to try it. Frankly, most of our food comes from unsavory origins. At least this is delicious.



    Then comes caviar which I know nothing about. The grovery store I lived near in my prior city sold reasonably priced caviar. Granted, it did come in varying pricing levels, and the more expensive ones were actually better, but here I would have to pay $130 for a tiny jar. I love it, but it isn't worth that.

    Oh I should probably mention Kobe beef. In the US, you can call anything Kobe. There is no law. Frankly, if it isn't a chef that I personally know and trust is giving me real Kobe, I would never buy it. I mean, it instantly cheapens a restaurants reputation if they are passing off fake Kobe. So the truth is, I've never had real Kobe. I have had beef from nearby regions of Japan, and this was from the reputable Japanese chefs I know who wouldn't pass off beef as Kobe when it wasn't. Anyway, this was the best beef I've had, but frankly it wasn't that much better than a rib eye I could cook myself, so not worth the price. I haven't tried it raw yet. If you ever eat Kobe or similar Japanese beef and find it worth the price, tell me.



    Most of my favorite foods are ridiculously expensive. Does that mean that I just think they are good because of the price? I don't think so but don't know. I've heard it said that poor people make the best cooks because they have to learn to cook with what they have. My experience with being poor was that we ate casseroles, PBJ, popcorn, etc. I suppose poor American in the factory district isn't the same as poor rural Greek family.

    Was just about to say that this thread is way too expensive for me. I just ate half a loaf of day-old bread bought from jimi john's while leaving the bars last night. I hollowed it out and stuffed it with some spicy black beans. Today I'll be eating rice. I have some butter and some carrots and celery that might still be good.

    My favorite foods generally involve slow cooking cheap shit. Chili is the bomb, and curry is super-awesome. A friend made me roast chicken curry for my birthday. It was super yum yum. There's a local Malaysian restaurant whose curries all incorporate slow-cooked pork. I can't get enough of it.

    There's a cajun cafe in town, and I swear all they got is like five crock pots in the back. Everything's just tossed in and ignored all day. It's so kissing good.

    Gusy, there are books on curing your own food. You should try it. If you succeed, you will have the most delicious proscuitto on the planet. if you fail, you'll only kill yourself.

    I live in AZ and pay $400 a month right now just for AC. I'm not sure if I could find a good spot to control the temp.

    Also, I posted this thread because I in the past three years I went from rich apartment dwelling bachelor to poor married about-to-be-kid-having loser. We eat casseroles most nights, and I am actually happy when we do because that leaves me just enough money to have a beer once in a while.

    I'm the worst of America. As soon as I get a little money I figure out a way to spend it. For me it is always on food, because, as I said, I grew up eating popcorn and PBJ for dinner. Now that I have driven myself back to poor (by buying a very expensive house and getting my girl pregnant at the same time) I'll be fantasizing about food just like I fantasized about getting laid when I was a nerd in high school.

    I ate toro last week. Today I am looking at the fridge like I did in college. "Hmmm, what can I make out of mayonnaise, garlic, soy sauce, and noodles?" I wish I understood "good" food like the rural poor who invented it, but I don't. I cook about as well as I write.
