What is something you could never get tired of eating? That one dish, meal, or snack that no matter the day, you know if you had just a piece that time would stand still while you enjoyed that food for just one moment?

Care to share the recipe if it's homemade?

Mine is bacon wrapped water chestnuts.

Take sliced bacon and wrap around whole, individual water chestnuts. Secure together with a toothpick. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and place the wrapped water chestnuts on the foil. Once you've made enough, cover with a unhealthy sprinkle of brown sugar and soy sauce. The "sprinkle" should be enough so some sugar and soy sauce have powdered each wrapped snack.

Broil until bacon is cooked. Watch for fire while using broil. Let them cool until warm and enjoy!

What is this concept, enough?

Mine is four slices of wheaten bread, toasted quite deeply, with butter & usually with a lot of crushed hot chili peppers on top. Though I eat everything, adore most dishes, and am a decent cook, I have to make a conscious effort to get other foods into my regular rotation. Lot of that comes down to forgetting to eat until am shaking with hunger, but still.

Looking forward to rustling up a batch of your bacon'd water chestnuts.

Extremely subjective, ha!

I make about two cans worth of water chestnuts. That will last me a few days, or hours if i need them to.

I'm going to go with something perhaps a little weird. Udon noodles, soy sauce as well, some veggies. I probably have it 2-3 times a week. The salty flavor really makes me brain light up. And maybe even stranger, durian. Very weird fruit. You have to make yourself eat it until you can real find the extremely unique, sweet flavors.

+1 about the noodles, I can toss in some frozen veggies and spice it up choosing whatever sauce I'd like. Dinner is ready super fast! Added chilli garlic sauce last time, delicious.

Your favourite sometimes nudges my main one out of the picture! Adore the texture and flavour and scent of udon. Usually have mine with soy sauce and grated vegetable ribbons, sometimes a dash of sesame seed oil, sometimes an egg poached in the heat of the noodles.

I absolutely love Udon. Hard to find udon noodles here where I live… I can make them but it’s a lot of effort. If it wasn’t so much effort I’d probably have it 2-3 times a week as well.

have you ever had frozen durian? i've always wanted to try durian but i don't think i can get it fresh where i live. i assume it's not really the same but i wonder if it's worth a try

[–] GreenCrush 3 points 1 year ago

Frozen is what I usually have. For beginners I always recommend frozen durian first, it stays solid and has an almost ice cream like quality to it's texture.

Pasta with any sauce I can rustle up, or toasted Turkish bread with butter and Vegemite.

Pizza. I do take out. Mostly make my own. Been without an oven though. I just got an instant pot with air fryer, gonna try that soon and try it on the grill.

Chicken fried steak and over easy eggs, hasbrowns and lots of gravy. Then I don't have to eat for the next couple of days lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Probably baked potatoes with cheese and onions. Also taco bell, I would probably go there several times a week if I could.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm all about cake. If it is good enough, it doesn't need icing. 🤤

There's something about the simplicity and ease of cooking a rare french cut steak generously smothered with Worcestershire sauce and the optional Montreal steak spice. It's so fast and tasty.

It's 100% Sushi. I am a Japanese food fiend and I just cannot resist my raw fish. My favorite would have to be a chirashi bowl with a variety of sliced fish

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Mine would be Soon Veggie ramen noodles with tofu, dried seaweed, dried shiitake mushrooms, and sesame oil drizzled on top with a side of kimchi. All cooked in a tiny steel single serving bowl. I miss the days when my little sister and I would eat hot ramen outdoors during chilly nights.

For a snack/lunch/breakfast I love a peanut butter and Nutella (or fake version) toast sandwich. I eat it at least once on 99% of days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alot, but the first thing that comes to mind is pizza hut

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Agreed, you can't go wrong with a big greasy pizza.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Poutine. Fries, gravy and cheese curds are three things I'll enjoy forever.

I love love love the minestrone recipe that my family has. I suppose it's a nontraditional one since it has beef in it haha but it's so good. The smell from it cooking all day is enough to drive you mad!
