The Cooking, Drink and Food Forum
Pick one, and add your own! Fun for the whole family. Unless you don't have a computer- then this game sucks. Or you're really hungry. Then this game might also suck. I'll start:
I'm drinking the first of these. I haven't tried any of the others yet but I think I will.
We always get the same pizza at our house...sausage and mushroom. The perfect toppings, IMO. It's the one thing in life we manage to agree on. What do you like on your pizza? Do you have disagreements at home about what to get on them? Have...
Please pick your favorite cola. For fair comparison, let's assume we're talking about drinking from a 12-oz can. :hoj:
Mine is smoked gouda.
Not much more to this than the title. It's just that question, what of your food dislikes surprises people when you tell them you don't care to eat it? For me it's maize. I love cornmeal foods, but corn itself - the kernels or on the cob,...
Yesterday for my birthday I went to a local bakery that is so freaking wonderful I only dare to go there once or twice a year. It's too dangerous otherwise. Last night, I saw something in the display case that instantly caught my attention. It...
In chat this morning, we were discussing pineapples. Someone--possibly ivan asikov, but I wasn't paying attention--commented that it's hard to imagine how anyone ever thought to hack through the outer shell to find the tasty goodness inside;...
I was just looking at Sociological Images, and one of their posts today is this breakdown of the ingredients in a Snapple Iced Tea. Frankly, getting excited about it seems odd to me, since it seems to me that most sweetened teas are obviously...
Am I right? Low fat, some protein. What am I missing? And really, if each "newt" has but one gram of fat hidden in its yummy, cakey self, what's the point of Fat Free Newtons? Is this a trick? What am I missing? I love Fig Newtons. I even...
The Coffee thread. Inspired from Chat. I found the Starbucks coffee is overpriced and overcooked. I also found the coffee itself is not very good and skunks surprisingly fast. A good Drip Maker is fast and easy. I think it is mostly...
Here they are, the beers Americans drink most. If this was all they had at the bar, which would you choose?
The weekend after next my nephew (he's an adult, fwiw) is coming up to visit me, and the last time we spoke, he mentioned having become a vegetarian. One of the two nights he'll be here I've invited some other people over for dinner, and I'm kind...
Everyone should "rep" their cultural heritage.What would you bring to the table? (recipes encouraged) Collard Greens - for my AA heritage About 3/4 pound of smoked turkey necks or wings or legs Big bunch of collards (2 or 3 of those x...
I just mentioned in the appliance thread that for years I didn't own even a manual can opener, as we never consumed canned food. Things have changed, though. As much as I hate to admit it, I keep the following canned food around: tomato paste,...
...but Bud Light Lime goes down REAAALLY nice on a very hot day. Make no mistake, I'm as big a beer snob as anyone who ever brewed an all-malt ale with only noble hops and discussed the relative merits of obscure Belgian lambics. But I allow...
How do you feel about a nice bagel with cream cheese? Also, what kind of bagel do you like? What kind of cream cheese? Do you like your bagel toasted? Bonus questions: When did bagels come out of the closet?
Let's see who wins out in the breakfast bread battle royal.

Never would I advocate underage drinking, but it has been known to happen. Recently I walked past the liquor aisle in my supermarket and once again that reminded my that there are alcoholic drinks that few self-respecting adults would ever buy...
I can think of no topical application for which ranch dressing is not an excellent, if not preferrable, substitute for mayo. Sandwhiches? Ranch Fry dipping? Ranch Even cole slaw. :hoj: Repaste: nil-link 36-C, 11.10.2009
I'm not talking about the cost of a Manhattan at the W hotel lobby bar($17! You bastards!), I'm talking about things that I buy at the store that are stupidly overpriced for what they are. Things like Red Bull. It's a tiny can and there really...
So, since maybe January or a bit before of this year, I've been exploring more Irish whiskies. For me, I haven't yet gone up to Redbreast 12 or, from the other place, the Laphroaig 10 (both are at about the entry level for top-notch stuff: ...
They're full of Omega-3 fatty acids and they're also pretty high in protein and, at least I assume, pretty cheap. But the thought of eating them is a little scary -- I've never actually tried a can of them, but my impression is that they're...
The gods have been cruel, and besides water have limited your beverage choices to the following. Which do you choose?
Mine is, two thick cut slices of poppy loaf bread with, lettuce, tomato, pickled gherkin, cucumber and white cheddar cheese with mayonnaise. I'll never be able to rear my head in the weight loss thread ever again.
I have earned a rep for building strange sandwiches. Sandwiches that, I kid you not, have actually made people wretch. I say these people are close minded and play by silly rules of what-goes-with-what and "dear-me,-that's-not-breakfast-food." ...
Friendly Flotsam(tm) Ingredients: 1 shot vodka 4 oz lemon lime soda 1 tablespoon finely crushed dried yard waste 1 drop olive oil (optional) In a wide-mouth glass combine the vodka and soda. Carefully distribute yard waste over surface...
I find mushrooms to be a fairly polarizing food item. How do you feel about them? :hoj:
Apparently they're illegal in the USA. They are chocolate eggs with a shell inside that contains a toy. Fun for all the family, just don't choke on the toy.
Tea, of course, being the refined refresher of choice for ladies and gentlemen of all descriptions. But how do you prefer it? Why should coffee get its own way, and there are so many more flavours anyway?
This list is per Lycos. Which is your fave? :hoj:
It's Pancake Day, more formally known as Shrove Tuesday, or even Jif Lemon Day in the UK because of clever advertising. Regardless, it's THE day for eating pancakes on and not just normal pancakes, but all varieties of pancake topping as well. So...
Okay look: I was raised by vegetarians. I hung onto that for a long time even after leaving the nest, until I actually sat down and thought critically and realized that, wait, I really like food, so I'm not about to swear off most of it for some...
Too much stuff?
Simple poll and conversation thread. We'll be having a fondue tonight. We’ll run probably two oil pots and one cheese. Usually we have beef and chicken for the meats. Carrots, broccoli, cauliflower are the basics for the veggies. There will...
Thin Crust or Deep Dish?
In no particular order: Green Apple Banana Strawberry This goes for a lot of things, like Splurpees, not just candy. Fake apple is hideous.
This is important, after all it's about coffee. So, how do you drink it?
What's your favourite variety of cheese? I'm hoping for some gouda responses. *ba-boom!*
Buttered popcorn jelly beans. It sounds disgusting. It should be disgusting. But I love them. What sounds wretched but is delicious?
If you post here, I'd like you to commit to tasting the food you're assigned to try. Name 3 easy to procure food items that you've never tasted. The poster, below you chooses one of the items and you have 3 weeks to taste it and to post a...
What was Tilapia before it was the hot new fish? There was no Tilapia when I was a kid. Never saw it at the fishmonger's or at a restaurant. Beginning a few years back, it seemed that every menu offered it. Every fishstore sold it front and...
it is a truth universally acknowledged that kids are weird, and do weird things. It is for this reason that they sometimes make up odd foodstuffs. Sometimes for the purpose of being gross and sometimes ... just because. Kids. Weirdness. My...
Garlic!
Sometimes we have really odd combinations of food on the dinner table, because I hate throwing out food so I serve up the last little bits even if it doesn't match whatever else we're having. For example, last night we had spaghetti and meatballs...
Ok, let's talk about food quality from the post- WW II era through about the late sixties. Why were there so many crazy recipes? Why was everything so horrible looking? I'm sure part of it must have been the lack of variety of fresh, healthy foods...
A scottish brewery have claimed to come up with the world's strongest beer which should be treated like a spirit. The beer, called Tactical Nuclear Penguin, is apparently 32% proof. Anyone want one? The band of twelve drummers is looking...
I am thinking of doing the Melt Challenge when I'm next in Cleveland. The Melt Challenge consists of 13 different cheeses all held in place by 3 pieces of grilled bread, a pile of hand-cut fries & slaw. It weighs in at over 5 pounds of...
What's your favorite diet pop? (I don't say soda and don't want to talk about it.) I am a dedicate Diet Pepsi guy, but just had Cherry Coke Zero and found that to be pretty yummy.
