hey guys...I hope this post finds you well this March morning. I have been wanting to post a "Foodie" thread for a while so here goes.
I travel a lot and get exposed to a lot of different types of cuisine. I honestly no longer have a favorite food. When you are able to experience so much culinary varieties it makes it impossible to have one favorite, in my opinion.
Southern Indian food in London is fucking amazing. So different than the Indian food we are used to here in the US.
Meat Pies in Australia and New Zealand are unreal. Chicken Curry meat pie or Mince Meat pie. Awesome!
Pumpkin Risotto or Duck Ragu with Pappardelle pasta in Northern Italy.
Roast Duck and potatoes or just a simple ham and cheese on baguet in France
Tappas in Barcelona with Paella that would make Estelle Costanza proud!
Shepards Pie with a really cold Guiness in the English countryside!
Fried white anchovies in vinegar in Sicily that make you rethink your entire life.
Jerk pork slow roasted in Jamaica so spicy and bursting with flavor you think about it for days afterward.
Tangine beef with cabbage in Morocco with Moroccan cookies with a macaroon-like texture and crisp crust.
A bratwurst with saur kraut in Berlin at 3am with an amazing stein of beer. So simple yet so fucking good!
So as you can see I love good food. I love to be surprised by something I never thought I would like. Now I'm not a person who eats bull testicles or any of that crazy shit. But I mean like a sauce I never thought I would like or a sandwich that just doesn't sound good! lol I recently had a cocktail that had Rosemary in it that was fucking GREAT! Who woulda thought it?
Here are some of my favorite meals I have had recently with photos
I made this at home all on the grill - Prime Filet medium rare - roasted corn - clams grilled so they steam in their own juices! - Dunegoness Crab - wedge salad w/ blue cheese
I made this one also - Chicken Curry with Sticky Rice and some scallions on top
At a restaurant in the Old City in Nice, France I had these prawns which were the size of lobsters and they were served with truffle potatoes slow cooked in the drippings from roasting chickens and were awesome!
On a train stop in Ventimeglia where I went to this highly recommended little cafe and had their onion soup which was fucking amazing!
How fucking good does THIS look? In Milan I had this pizza fire baked and a great bottle of wine!
And to DIE FOR is the simple but fantastic lamb ragu with pappardelle pasta in Verona Italy!
And the above mentioned Pumpkin Risotto
more next time please post yours!!!!!!!!!!!
