New Food
 

Being white trash American, I was raised on the traditional white trash food of this great Nation. Every meal was a bland meat dish, with accompanying potatoe and vegetable side. And let me tell you, you can do alot with meat and potatoes.

Dining out and eating ethnic were not my parents idea of a great time. So to say my palate for ethnic food was limited would be an understatement. Seafood of any sort makes me want to vomit.

So every once and ahwile I run into a dish or food I have never had before, and I go apeshit and want to eat it every day.

I know this has to happen to others... where you find something you want to eat every day until you burn yourself out on it.

This week I discovered something I would never have guessed in a millions years I would want to eat. But now I want it... daily.

And its quite simple really, but being poor white trash, I was never exposed to this kind of shit.


A god damn humus and tabouli sandwich and shish tawook.

God damn hippy food.

There was a point in time in college where I ate tacos every god damn day. Not due to some lack of exposure to tacos as a child, but just for the sheer love of the taco. God damn I loves me a good taco.

What are you hooked on? Or have been hooked on?

and when someone showed me salsa mixed in with velveeta...

Thai food :thumbsup

I kinda want to try sushi but then I think about raw fish and all the nasty things that must be crawling around in there and say forget it. But everyone I know who eats it loves it.

You can find good food in Greek Town
or Erie street on this side of the border.

And when I eat fast food I always dip my fries in ranch salad dressing. Give that a try. I love it.

labret try japanese food

Dude, theres a spot out on Venice beach, kick ass Hummus and Tabouli(sp) and Babaganouj(sp) Weird you mention this as I was just telling my girl we needed to go get Tattoos and have Rolling Rocks and Hummus out in Venice.

Weird.

Fuck I'm a regular fucking culinarist, that's why I'm huge.

I love nearly all good food, all time favorites I could eat until I pass out :

roasted duck's breast
snails in garlic (frog wasn't bad either, tasted like chicken)
Lobster, oysters, crabs (not boneprones) and other seafood
filet mignon barbequed all at once with boiled potatoes and garlic sauce (ahhhhh.....)

I can't help it, food just fucking great. Too bad I don't have time to cook, I'm a fucking excellent cook. I usually eat bread and sausage and drink beer. heheh.. :)

Screw all that, come to Montreal and have a nice poutine at La Belle! ;)

I want to be your girlfriend.

I know exactly what you mean about

I do it all the time. It usually starts from seeing the food on TV or a taster in a supermarket. I am currently eating aspargus in a butter and garlic sauce. I find asparagus pretty tasteless however the sauce really makes it kick in. Give it a few days and I will just look at it in the fridge and not even bother to eat it.

I know this is a stupid question, but have you been to Greektown in Detroit? Its pretty god damn popular over here.

I never had Oppa till I cam to Detroit, and I am not even sure I spelled that right. The flaming cheese, and then they fucking yell OPPAH!

Let me guess, pussy?

I feel so gay right now.
I should have just said I liked McD.

Well God damn.

subway
pitapit
mcdonalds

Yes Labret, I have been to Greektown lot's of times.
Last time was a week ago.

If there was one near my house, I would eat there every damn day.

Dude you have to get "Athenos Three Pepper Hummus" from your grocery store, if they have it. And your favorite "Chips"

THATS my regular thing...good things its not too cheap and it comes in small containers.

yummy...

sushi.....fucking yuppie food, one night Allenski from BuildPage takes me out to a Japanese restaurant and makes me eat sushi...and I fell in love with it...I eat there almost all the time..if anyone is in Vegas looking for good, cheap sushi, Sushi On Trop has $19.95 all you can eat sushi...damn good, but I still can't that fucking sea urchin shit....


I grew up a meat and potatoes guy, then became a chef and worked for Mark Miller and did some kitchen swapping with Emeril and Wolfgang Puck and got my eyes opened to all kinds of amazing shit...

recently, I've been on a salsa kick, salsa on everything from mashed potatoes to meatloaf to hotdogs...

Curry goat with rice and peas..

kitchen swapping with Emeril and Wolfgang?

Sounds pretty kinky hehe

Theres a Japanese restaurant around the corner here that if you order a big Sapphoro" everyone in the restauraunt screams Sapphoro and cheers, while the guy bring you the beer and you have to stand up on your chair to get it....totally fucking weird.

Manchu Wok (sp?)

Their food is great :thumbsup

hahah
kitchen swapping is something that occurs when one restaurant may be hosting a big party (like a press conference) and other kitchens will loan them kitchen crew to cover in the regualr restaurant....we used to cater Don King's press conferences at the MGM Grand and would often borrow a prep cook or two and maybe a line cook from Em or Wolfie to keep the Coyote running smoothly.......

Dude I swear IM digging into this stuff right now, its the best.

Funny thread. I been stuck on mexican food for not just a while, but almost a year now. I can eat that shit daily and it'll always be my favorite.

Though, this past two weeks and tonight (again), I been eating sushi like it's going out of business...:eek7

I remember one thanksgiving I got so damned hooked on green olives I was putting that shit on everything.

I'd make home made pizzas with nothing on them but the cheese, artichoke hearts and green olives.

I'd buy huge jars and just eat them by the frickin' handful....I couldn't stop myself...LOL

I would have to say my favorite food is Mexican food...and not just your good old fashioned Tex Mex (cal-mex sucks ass) but real Mexican food found in Mexico.

I have a few favorite resteraunts when visiting either Nuevo Laredo or Tijuana.

Olives, been there, seen it, done it..actually I went for the green babies as well....BTW do you run the Judy Star site?

Actually...no...I have a cam site where I sit all day putting olives into different orifices. ;)

But seriously...no I don't.

I cant eat those nasty fuckers. Unless they are buried in a pizza. Cant eat mushrooms neither. Mushrooms are fungus. Athletes foot is fungus.

And mayo... fucking forget it. Would rather tongue a truckers ass.

i go to greektown in detroit once every week or so. i dont really like the greek food either. i go to medeterraniain cafe and get the chicken fingers and i go to niki's to get the pizza. my friends have gotten me to try hummus, tubulee, faloffel, etc and i thought all of them were nasty... must be an acquired taste.

the last food i was hooked on for a few weeks was those chicken parmisagn or cheeseburger lean pockets, anyone ever try those? not only are they great... but its almost no work at all to cook them.

I fucking hate olives and tomatoes, hardcore.

fuck me, i've always thought they were yelling OPRAH!


i'm really hooked on sticky rice with peanut sauce right now

but my fav foods come from either Greek, Italian or Indonesian restaurants

I don't like olives as much as I did then...I had my fill there after about 6 months straight.

I dont like greek either. Cant eat goat and sheep. If I go to a greek place, its shishkabob for me.

Yeah, Ill put down a hotpocket fucking quick. Dont like breakfast hot pockets. I like mine old school pepperoni. Nothing fancy like.

Sushi/Sashimi
yumm

and steak. I'd eat a steak everyday if I could afford it.

Tomatoes? So not even pasta sauces? Life would be damn hard for me without tomato. A burger with no tomato? Damn.

nothing beats a popcorn and peanut butter sandwich

Nah man, sliced tomatoes.

I like ketchup, oddly. And I love good pasta and Marinara sauces.

Olives, green or black, horrible, my girls digs em.

Would have ate that back in the day with some A1.

I got mad hooked on A1 Steak Sauce when I was a kid. I poured that shit on everything.

Japanese food all the way! I just love sashimi and sushi but they have great meat dishes as well. Next month I'll be in Japan again and I know that I will come home with quite a few pounds more...

My girlfriend is from Antigua - she makes me all kinds of bizzare stuff, but she made me Pumpkin soup one day - fucking deeelicious. She also makes a mean spicy shrimp dish. I think that the old saying "a way to a man's heart is through his stomach" is very true.

Growing up as poor black trash in S. Alabama... Ive learned to love Fried Chicken and watermellon. You may laugh...but it's true.

I'm hooked on Chalupas! :helpme The crust is so nice and buttery... and they have some kind of special sauce inside.. yumm

I'm also addicted to french brie cheese. I can just eat it by itself with no bread or anything...

Before I spent any amount of time in a predominantly black area, I thought that perhaps the chicken thing was just some blown out of proportion stereotype.

Until I moved to Detroit and saw the lines around the Chicken Shacks. And you will find two types of fast food in the ghetto... Taco Bell, and Churchs Chicken, or any other chain chicken place.

I used to work in China Town when I was a young punk - well one day the owner of the company takes us out for a big feast to celebrate his daughters birthday.

On that one day I ate sparrow, squirell stew and snake soup. When the snake soup came I was told not to eat too much as it affects the blood if your not used to it. But I thought what the fuck and wolfed down a huge bowl full.

The next day when I woke up my lips were white. When I went into work - well lets just say that I provide much entertainment.

BTW has anyone ever tried Darien (sp) fruit - you buy it in Chinese markets. I've never tried it but I have bought one and had it opened in front of me - trust me, it is the most noxious smelling thing you will ever encounter in your life - just disgusting, will seriously make you want to puke.
