Talk, about food

Dicuss your favorite foods here.

[Jonathan]

I love pasta when it comes to savoury and also seafood. I have a sweet tooth so anything with a mousse or jelly like consistency I'll like and things with chocolate!

[Lydia]

Ravioli! Seriously, it's the best thing ever.

[[deleted user]]

Ugh! I haaaaaate ravioli.

[Lydia]

... Jocelyn. What are you saying?

Yes, same here. And tortellini.

[Danny, Business Bro]

Jocelyn, you just stepped onto very dangerous ground.

I'm saying... that I hate ravioli.

(A little explanation: I used to love it, but I ate it so much that I'm kinda tired of it now.)

yep, same here! I LOVE seafood pasta. I don't really have a sweet tooth but I still enjoy chocolate from time to time.

Har har. *cowers in fear*

Ravioli isn't just a food; it's a frame of mind.

Used to be for me. Sadly I got tired of it.

Chipotle (Mexican burrito restaurant), nearly anything sweet, Indian food especially palak paneer, tiki masala, basmati rice, and coconut soup, and nearly every Italian delicacy. :)

Well, since everyone seems to like pasta...what's your favorite pasta dish?

I like linguine alla marinara with basil. (vegetarian here with the exception of seafood.)

[Lydia]

I think Jocelyn is outnumbered. And that's the way it should be :P

Ravioli is my favorite pasta dish, but I also love gnocchi (I think that's how it's spelled) and good old classic spaghetti and meatballs.

[ϮAʛʛⅇℛʊℵʛ {Supernatural Freak}]

Definitely fettuccine Alfredo, and lemon pistachio penne rigatte.

I used to be vegetarian with fish excepted, but now I work at a sub shop and have been corrupted by the amazing Philly cheesesteaks.

[ϮAʛʛⅇℛʊℵʛ {Supernatural Freak}]

Gnocchi are awesome too!!!

I love fettuccine Alfredo too :)

[[deleted user]]

I like it. Not love it.

[Lydia]

Okay, now you're just trying to be controversial.

[[deleted user]]

No way! I'm trying to be honest. I really do like Fettucine Alfredo...I don't love it. My sister is seriously crazy about it, though.

[Lydia]

Fine, I'm just kidding. But since we're on the topic of Italian food, has anyone had cannoli? And if so, what did you think of it?

[[deleted user]]

I love it!

[Lydia]

Yay, we agree on something :) Cannoli are totally awesome!

[[deleted user]]

Gnocchi are great too...I forgot to comment on that :)

[Lydia]

One thing that's very Italian that I don't really care for is pizza. For me, it has to be homemade, and then I love it. I don't really like parlor pizza.

[[deleted user]]

Same here! I kind of like pizza but I'm not batshit crazy for it like a lot of people seem to be.

[Lydia]

Yeah, although I did have a pizza once from a little shop that was just perfection, so it doesn't have to be homemade, just not parlor.

That sentence was really long and run-onish haha.

[Jonathan]

Australian pizza tends to be different from the American style too, or what I've seen of it. It's thicker and works nicely. I like pizza that's been done in a wood oven. There's this restaurant over here that does it really nicely.

I also love lasagne. Garfield-esque lol!

[Lydia]

I love thick crust pizza, and I definitely agree with you about the wood oven. It tends to have a better flavor than regular pizza.

I think I empathize with Garfield far more than I should :D

Something I find weird: I like clam chowder but I hate, hate, hate, HAAAAATE!!!!!!!!!!!! (yes, I needed all those exclamation marks) the clams. I just...ugh. Every time I accidentally eat one I want to throw up. Love the potatoes that often come with it, though. Delicious. Also, the chowders they have on the coast of Massachusetts are HEAVENLY. Like, seriously, you have not lived your life until you tasted one of those. I might even forgive the clams.

I like corn chowder and potato chowder the best, being vegetarian. What chowders do you guys like? Or even just soups in general?

As for my own general soups...I like Asian stuff a lot, so I'd definitely pick miso soup. I like corn and potato chowder like stated above, and chicken noodle soup. Or any soup with pasta in it.

[Lydia]

I have never tried clam chowder, due to my extreme dislike of all things from the sea.

Chicken noodle soup is always good though.

[[deleted user]]

Awww, you dislike seafood? :(

[Lydia]

Hated it for years, sorry :)

[[deleted user]]

But why? seafood is wonderful. (except for squid. I hate hate hate squid. And clams and oysters. But I love everything else.)

[Lydia]

I hate shrimp, scallops, muscles, lobsters, the whole shebang. I just hate the texture and fishy flavour.

Oh yes, I hate fish too :P

[[deleted user]]

So no sushi, huh? That's sad.

Um...muscles? I think you mean mussels ;)

[Lydia]

I've never tried sushi, but I don't like the look of it. I don't think I'm missing out on a lot.

Gosh, that's embarrassing. I don't even know why I typed that. *blush*

[Jonathan]

*holds hands over ears* I'm not listening, I'm not listening. How can anyone hate seafood in all its glory? I mean I get it if you're allergic but if you've got nothing wrong with you other than disliking it, I'm sorry! :P

[[deleted user]]

Agreed Jonathan. How is it possible? Really, just how? Seafood is divine.

[Lydia]

I'm not allergic to it, but I might as well be. Besides, I'm used to these questions cause my family loves seafood.

Ahem, after seeing a particularly eye-opening documentary, I have recently decided to go vegetarian (which is kind of scarying my Italian family, because most of our signature dishes are filled with meat), so if you're a vegetarian, how can you eat seafood? It counts as meat.

[[deleted user]]

I said "vegetarian here with the exception of seafood." Seafood is too awesome to miss out, even for a vegetarian!

My favorite foods: mint chocolate chip ice cream (it totally counts), my mom's homemade Alfrado, hotdogs (goodby forever, my delicious friends), carrots, Honeycrisp apples (the best kind), all sorts of fruit and vegetable smoothies (which have been my breakfast for the last year), Klondike bars, any sort of chocolate, Italian bread (especially my mom's homemade bread), Mom's homemade chicken-broccoli-rice casserole (again, goodbye forever), and venison (I'm going to die as a vegetarian, but it's for a good cause).
Both my parents are mostly Italian and Irish, which means they're both amazing cooks (though my mother's slightly better). You'd love my parents.

[György]

My favourite food is laksa.

I'm 3/4 Italian so I eat mainly Italian food as well. And I pretty much agree with all the foods you listed. And weirdly enough I'm part Irish as well. I think I've been ported to a parallel dimension where I actually agree with you on everything... it's terrifying :P
