You're a chef right? What kind of cuisine do you specialize in? Just Philippino cuisine, or other stuff, too?

You like the century egg? Cool! There's not many Chinese dishes that features it, I can only think fo two off the top of my head.

I've gone to a resturant maybe 5-6 times in my life, so it's not often that I get to try food a wouldn't have a home, but I have to say I love Mexican food. Chinese is great too, but I've never tasted anything outside of the menu at the local fish n chip shop. Those enchiladas are so good, and I really like spicy food in general. Can never go wrong with chicken either. I love things like watercress + pork + tamato sauce (boil up), roasts in general. The only vegetables I don't like are cauliflower and silverbeet, and I like all meat bar silverside (I think that's beef, I like beef, but I don't like silverside). I've always wanted to try either a New York or Chicago style pizza, those look great.

That's all I can think of for now, but I know that once that student allowance comes in I'm gonna be going out to eat more often because I just love eating new things.

The thing that concerns me most about this thread, is that I was thinking about making the exact same thing last night. I am Conversewade

[Laxation]

I live with my mum, and she has no qualifications and goes from unemployed to low paying jobs throughout the year. I think she ends up with something like $10 a week after rent/power/food/phone, etc. is paid, so there's no money to buy anything unless I pay for it myself. I can't pay for it myself because I don't have a job, and didn't get one becaause my sleeping was so messed up and I would rather just wait till my course starts and I begin getting a student allowance.

[J@3]

My mum makes heaps of money but we don't go to restaraunts. They are too wanky for me.

[Its_asdf]

I'd say that my favourite food of all time that I ate at a restaurant would be a medium rare steak with mash potatoes at some fancy pants restaurant during this boat cruise I was on a few years ago. That was probably the only time I've actually had a decently cooked steak and I've been craving for one ever since.

It's kind of ironic that I usually hate most of the Chinese food places I go to, being an Asian and all. The China town in Toronto (specifically the restaurants) is pretty unsanitary to say the least. I've been to a few restaurants up in the Scarborough area with my parents a few times and their Chinese food there is pretty sweet, although I rarely go to Scarborough since it's far away and I find that there's nothing really to do there anyway.

I love Italian food... all kinds of pasta, risotto, and especialy tiramusi dessert. Thats just heavenly.

Chinese food is pretty good too. As a Belgian, fries are offcourse omnipresent in my diet

[Matt]

restaurants.......i've been a few times but i plan to stay away from them. They're too formal for me an the food isn't any better than what I can cook myself. And for the price of a restaurant meal you can feed the whole family.

anways,.....i love chicken!

[cyanide]

Foccacia originated from Italy and Greece, so yeah, not Australian.

Speaking of Italy, I went to the Olive Garden last night and had a Tour of Italy which includes chicken parmigiani, fettucini alfredo, and lasagna. Three of my favorite foods. Other favorite foods would be steak, naan, pepperoni pizza and hot dogs. The last two are not exactly healthy, but I like to eat it from time to time. Ditto with Chinese food every now and then (rice, chow mien, ginger beef, and lemon garlic chicken).

[Andrew]

I often feel a bit uncultured when I go to restaurants because I have somewhat narrow tastes and dislike a lot of common things (mushrooms, tomatoes, mayonnaise, beetroot and all seafood except prawns to name a few), so my orders are usually without this or that. It's especially embarrassing when my order is summed up as "(whatever), nothing on it/nothing good on it".

[Mark.]

A perfectly cooked steak (rare to medium rare) is always great albeit not entirely the healthiest thing to eat.

For some reason I really love salad, but I think it may be due more the dressings one them.

Oh yeah, Pavlova is from New Zealand

You're not the only one. I'm known to be a picky eater, so I'll avoid anything with onions, olives, mushrooms, green & red peppers, cinnamon, cumin, and depending what it's in, I might avoid ginger and mayonnaise. I never liked seafood until a few years ago, so I've expanded my horizons just a bit.

[Its_asdf]

Green and red peppers? Cinnamon? You're a freak of nature for not liking those. Mushrooms I can understand. Those mushy bastards need to be exterminated from the earth.

[cyanide]

I think I'm ultra-sensitive to cinnamon. I was once eating a box of Vector, and as soon as I took the first bite, I was like, "I think this has cinnamon." So I check the box, and near the bottom, it lists cinnamon. Not to mention, I can smell cinnamon or Cinnabon a mile away. I find it overwhelmingly bitter.

[J@3]

I'm going to go make a sandwich that will contain nothing but chicken, jalapeños and mushrooms.

[benji]

I like pizza.

Since Jae expected it.

Onions, peppers and mushrooms are my staple vegetables. I love pretty much all meat forms but pork chops and ham. (I love bacon, and will eat pork in forms other than the traditional chops. I'll eat ham, but is not my favorite. Pig is not my favorite animal.)

I love to cook stir-fry, Thai and Chinese styles mainly. Red Curry is my favorite curry to use.

I try lots of various things, invent "new" dishes. I've made my own shrimp scampi once without realizing it until halfway through.

Lots of spices I enjoy, all purpose seasoning is clutch, onion and garlic powder and salt, paprika, tarragon, rosemary, sage, chinese five spice, crushed red pepper are my most used ones. I put Worcestershire on my steak, and Malt Vinegar on my fish (and chips!). I make pasta and add my own various spices at times, sometimes shredded cheese, always grated.

I cook with beef, chicken, fish (tilapia usually because it's cheap...sometimes catfish...I'm po, so sometimes pollack.) shrimp, occasionally other seafoods.

I like your over salted frozen/canned foods as well. Campbell's Chunky/Select soups. Maruchan Ramen of course. (Top Ramen = fail.) Stouffer's "Skillets" and French Bread Pizzas. Random frozen things with misleading pictures that look delicious.

I enjoy the out eating, McDonalds, Wendy's, Culvers', Subway, Quizno's, Burger King (Hungry Jack's?), sometimes Taco Bell. KFC. Hot 'n Now. (It's like Sonic kinda.) Probably missing lots of places. Always up for a dumpy looking Thai or other Asian food place, often a buffet. No mayonnaise for me, and if can get it added onions on chicken sandwiches (less often on burgers), other than that usually no problems with what is just being offered.

Also enjoy lots of snack foods. And vodka, rum, gin, tequilla, whiskey. Drink mostly water, tea, juices, kool-aid knock offs otherwise. Not a big fan of carbination.

I probably missed all sorts, but was just rambling as things came to mind.

And everyone now thinks I'm a big fatty.

[cyanide]

And everyone now thinks I'm a big fatty.

It came to mind, but I'll just picture you as a black Gordon Ramsay.

I'm surprised cajun isn't on your list of spices. It's fantastic on a lot of dishes.

[benji]

Oh, yes, I do cook with cajun spices from time to time. Catfish obviously. I just haven't bought any in a while and haven't thought about it.

a black Gordon Ramsay.

Interesting.

[Sauru]

i guess i will chime in on this one. some of my favorite meals are

steak. i like all steak but a good cut and cooked just right is the best food ever. always get a salad with it, vegtables too, not a potatoe

big italian fan but good old basic chicken parm is probably my fav. stuffed manicotti is also amazing.


sweet italian sausages with red and green peppers. most put onions in this but i hate both onions and mushrooms

pizza of course but i think thats something that could be on anyones list.

love sandwiches but if you get a sub from the wrong place they completly suck.

fat food, i am hitting wendys first. get craveings for arbys now and then and of course mcdonalds.

will finish this up with thanksgiving dinner. every last piece of it owns

[Riot]

One word:

Chipotle!

[benji]

Yeah, I hate when a sandwich place just won't have good ingredients that day for whatever reason. Too many times I have gone to, for example, Subway, and when I moved down to the veggies they were in lousy quality.

There's a local sandwich place here that will deliver a bad tomato or lettuce leaf 1/15th the time.
