I wouldn't cook on anything but Gas stoves or Gas Grills.
LP or natural gas is the only way to go.

My favorite food, is Potato Pankakes.

Theyre simple, sinfully bad for me, and they taste great with a little bit of salt, and homemade sugar syrup. (Milk, sugar, water vanilla, boil).

Runner up is Chocolate, but i'm trying to cut down on the sweets...

Anyway, I really wish I could enjoy lobster. It sounds delicious. I always liked crab, however. Now I'm a vegan and it really doesn't matter.

I like lobster ok but as plainly cooked as possible preferably steamed. with lemon, garlic and pepper and some light herbs. I'm not a fan but have had some damn good Lobster over the years. Crab I can pretty much live without, it somehow tastes 'wrong' to me, though I have no idea why.:rolleyes:

I used to be vegetarian, veganism never made sense to me, it seems too far at variance with Humans' omnivorous nature, plus I'd miss chicken and fish too much.

My favourite foods in no particular order:
  1. Chicken pretty much any way you served it but esp dry seared with lemon, ground pepper and herbs.
  2. Fish, most fish and seafood, but esp firm white fish, Barracuda and Kingfish are lovely pan fried. Tilapia stuffed with diced veggies, sides slit and packed with salsa and bay leaves, wrapped in foil then baked....yummy.
  3. Pizza....what can I say.:rolleyes:
  4. Thai, and Indian....and good old Rice 'n' beans
  5. Salads, especially herb salads and raw peppers, tomatoes by the ton
  6. Pasta, barely cooked and served with spicy tomato sauce, rosemary and herb breadsticks
  7. Steamed veggies, esp boiled new potatoes with fresh mint and broccolli and carrots (better raw).
  8. Pineapple, and most acidic fruits and berries.....gimme gimme
  9. Chocolate, esp white though not as much as I used to
  10. Ice Cream....You will get maimed if you try to take my ice cream.
  11. Home made trifle, touch my trifle and you will die.:eek:
Ask me tomorrow and some different things may make the list....I'm food fickle. Especially in summer.:tongue:

P,S. To Claire and Stronze, I agree, while gas grills are easier they suck taste wise. Nothing enhances BBQ food like woodsmoke. There's a reason Salmon, Kippers and so on are woodsmoked..:rolleyes:

We are at opposite ends of the shellfish spectrum, I'd guess. I've had lobster every which way, and always hated it. Same about crab, but always loved it.

As for humans being naturally omnivorous, I'll always disagree with you. however, we could fill an entirely separate thread with that discussion.

Cheesecake, straight, homemade with real ingredients, without blueberries, cherries or other distractions.

Cooking over an open fire in mountain wilderness, the Rockies or High Sierras after a day of backpacking, adds spice to almost any food.

...I didn't respond to that other thread because I like to try just about anything. Spending time picking mushrooms off your pizza or scraping the mayonnaise off your bread always seemed kind of childish to me...

I'll also (generally) try almost anything but I'm damned if I'm going to eat stuff I don't like if I can avoid it. I wouldn't generally go to the lengths of picking stuff out of a meal that I don't like if it was just a dislike and I do sometimes get a tad irritated with overly 'picky' eaters; "waiter, this bread was so made by someone left handed..take it away" but the poster referred to the mayonaise in the context of a serious allergy, same with nuts.

Allergies such as these can be life threatening and too many in the food industry who don't suffer from such extreme reactions often fail to realise this or blithly trivialise it, thinking the sufferer is somehow weak and sissy. I mean how can a little peanut hurt anyone? Picking off that mushroom could save their life. I see nothing childish there.:smile:

I'm lucky in having no known allergies and no food I listed here actually makes me ill, I just don't like them....especially boiled Okra....:tongue::biggrin1:

DOng20,

Having dietary restrictions, allergies and intolerances to certain food I agree with you whole heartedly. I do understand being rude if someone has invited you to dinner and picking through the food in an uncouth fashion, but if it is a question of getting very sick because of not knowing, it can be important.

Oh, how I love to eat. :smile:

Vegetarians beware. Reading this list may make you ill.

Rare prime rib with au jus
Broiled Lobster with lemon and clarified butter
Dungeoness crab from the West Coast. The flavor is sweeter, more succulent than Alaskan King Crab or Maryland Blue Crabs. Everyone here thinks Blue Crabs are wonderful and yes, they're ok, but they don't compare to Dungeoness crab. *waits for the bashing to begin*
Steamed clams and oysters with horseradish
Clam chowder from Cappy's Chowder House in Camden, Maine.
Most ocean fish especially salmon and swordfish
Steamed artichokes with clarified butter
Most fresh vegetables, especially garden fresh green beans
Mushrooms. Wonderful fungus.
Every citrus fruit on the planet. Love berries.
Indian, Thai, Korean Barbeque, Lebanese, Northern Italian, Greek, regional Mexican (not what you get in the states), Cajun and Creole, Scandinavian sweet breads and cakes.
Few things are better than excellent sushi. Few things are worse than bad sushi.
Thin, crispy crust pizza or a deep dish from Gino's East in Chicago (every year on my birthday, I arrange for a half-baked pizza to be delivered to my house).
The best pizza i've had to date is Bertolli's in Northern California. Fantastic crust and sauce topped with thin slices of dry italian salami. Exquisite.
I'm not a chocoholic per se (you won't catch me eating Hershey's) but I love Belgian and Swiss chocolate.
Chocolate dipped strawberries. Oh so yummy.
Cheese is the wonder food. You have to know what kind to use and how to use it. Brie, sharp Vermont cheddar, camembert, gouda, emmenthal, gruyere, romano and havarti are my favourites. Cheddar cheese on apple pie or cobbler? Heaven.

I'll stop for now :biggrin1:

I go with the omnivore argument but I grant one can draw conclusions either way:

Non omnivore Argument
Omnivore Argument

I can't vouch for the credibility of either but they're both interesting enough.:smile:

I don't think there's any serious dispute prehistoric humans did eat meat, unless they used those hunting tools purely for war games, on each other or for defence against marauding vegetables. I do think we eat far more meat than early man did though and for largely different reasons.

Omnivouous by nature...I guess it's down to how you define 'nature'. You choose not to eat meat, I don't choose not to. As a species we have without doubt been been omnivorous (hunter gatherers) by choice for the better part of 100000 years, and pastoralists for only about 5000. To me that is good evidence for suggesting were are so by nature.

It's interesting, start a thread, I'll happily discuss with you some more.:biggrin1:

Mhmmm, anything that's fresh off the fire. Meat, fish, potatoes, just anything. By the way, I prefer charcoal or wood grilled over gas, it somehow adds to the taste. There are things Europeans just do better.
With ya on that one, Claire. When I lived in Oz, in winter and autumn, we would light a huge fire in the BBQ every night and keep it burning like an outdoor fireplace. And of course, cook on it. To keep up the variety, I got into marinating. Try these:
  • Pork loin steak in the classic Chinese mix of honey, ginger, garlic and soy.
  • Greek lamb. Lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary and oregano
  • Chicken tits in honey, mustard, lemon and hospital brandy or riesling
  • Salmon in soy, ginger, sesame oil and white vinegar (also makes a nice salad dressing, believe it or not.)
  • Ham steaks in honey, clove, lemon and ginger ale (my mother taught me that one)
  • Kangaroo in (cheap) tawny port, plum jam and chilli. You could use venison for this one.
  • Prawns/scallops on skewers with capsicum, in chilli, coriander and lime.
For those marinades with honey or jam, you need to whiz them in a microwave for a minute or two to thin them out and mix them up. None of them are too unhealthy.

A new restaurant serving australian cuisine opened last year in Newark. I've been there 4 times already. First time i've ever tried emu or kangaroo and you're right, the roo is close to venison. Very good and they have Foster's on tap.
