What kind of stuff do you like to eat? are you a foodie?

[Retinend]

Me: carbs bacon and cheese with a lot of dairy for dessert. Vegetarian would be some day negotiable (in hell), but veganism would be an absolute living hell. Sorry cows.

This wasn't a real big cookathon, but I thought it foodie enough to start a foodie thread... the more I look at it the more obvious it seems just posh munchies fodder.



Buttered ciabatta bread with jamón ibérico, the flat round pérail cheese; spring onions, lamb's lettuce, dribbled olive oil and a little wasabi smushed at either end, with a turkish style 10% fat yoghurt mixed with cherry jam and a few arcs of the strawberry of metropolitan ice cream as desert, and a German beer I like, Berliner Bürgerbräu (like an ale, tastes fine if a little flat).

I had to look up the translation for "lambs lettuce". I feel as if it's not a thing in the UK?

The beer looks like piss.

Germany is of course quite good for pork products but have you found any digestive impact from transitioning from English/imported to UK products?

[idunnosomename]

i love drinking piss and eating those croissants you get in a big bag from aldi

[Retinend]

have you found any digestive impact from transitioning from UK products?

Yeah a positive kind: if you do as the Germans do and eat a lot of saure Gurken[nb]literally say "sour gherkins" in a comedy accent and you can speak German[/nb] and Sauerkraut with everything it's like a boost of "treble" to your pallette. Highly recommended.

On that note, I'm using sourer complements to my olive oil in my salad dressings these days: I think apple cider vinegar is the shizniz.

Speaking of acidity, I miss those nice white sour onions you could get back in England, though they lack the functionality of the sour German complements mentioned (the'd be a bit too malty to eat right there on the dish alongside "normal food", wouldn't they?).

Have you been served any grub in a violin case lately?

Veganism genuinely is a piece of piss, for the record.

Really into cabbage lately.

Berliner Bürgerbräu

Berliner TrainerBra more like.

Also a fan of smokey meats and cheeses, but I have zero sweet tooth so desert for me is either a cheese board or a cocktail. Bloody good chilli con carne is my favourite though, preferably cooked for as long as possible. I could drink it tbh.

(I hate how whenever vegetarianism is mentioned in pop culture, it is followed by a platter of raw vegetables, probably with small clumps of fresh mud on them).

Really into first stage eels lately.

(They only stop being vegan on the second stage).

I think like most people, there's a gulf between what I'd like to eat and what I actually eat.

If I only ate what I would like to, the world's fish population (Bream especially) would go into sharp decline.

As it is, it's a mixture of relatively easy stuff cooked fresh along with takeaways, pot noodles, sandwiches and breaded chicken.

Water is nice, but I drink that out of necessity.
I prefer peppermint tea or black coffee.

[DistressedArea]

Really into my food, I eat it almost every day.

Apparently Sauerkraut is recommended for people with digestive problems like IBS, something to do with how it's fermented. Same for kimchi. Probably wouldn't counteract the effects of drinking shitloads of really wheaty beer though (which is what I tend to do in Germany).

I enjoy most kinds of food and trying new things, it's one of the main things I get excited for when I go on holiday etc. but I'll go through phases of craving a specific dish/type of food, which is often triggered by something stupidly tenuous - like hearing a word that reminds me of it (e.g. I briefly worked with someone whose surname sounded a bit like Halloumi, and for about a week I couldn't stop thinking about those salty slabs and I felt like eating some cheese too ahhh). It's like a mild foody synaesthesia.

I'm trying to lose weight, so what I like to eat, and what I eat are two quite distinct things.

I love meals but I couldn't eat a whole one

Same.  I like curry, and everything crunchy and/or bready.  AKA 'savoury but fattening'.  I also love overeating to the point of mild physical pain.

My taste in sweet food is relatively sophisticated - dark chocolate, fruit in alcohol, little poncey tarts or artisan ice cream.  It's definitely a rarity anyway, I think it's weird how some people eat pudding every day.

As of late, due to "malfunctions" apparently caused by gluten and lactose, I've had to adapt my diet a bit. Rice cakes are honestly underrated; you can stick almost anything on them and they're better than gluten-free bread. Nice bit of mackerel, or just Flora Buttery (butter is nicer but again, ill effects). I still eat things out of the packet, like those Violife "cheese" slices, so I won't count as any kind of connoisseur.

My wife's a coeliac so we all eat gf much of the time. Morrisons is so fucking cheap compared to other places. Like 1/3 of the price for pasta and pizzas. Bread is still overpriced cack though. Having said that, I'd love to stop eating bread for a while but we get 'normal' bread in for the toddler and it's just so tempting. Did really well eating sensibly yesterdayuntil about 10pm when I had 2 beers, half a bottle of wine and 2 pittas with hummous. :(

I'll happily eat to stay alive but never really experienced food being especially tasty or wondrous.  It's always just been a thing to stop me from fainting, and whenever people around me have 'yummed' with the deliciousness of a meal I've generally felt quite left out that they seem to be experiencing it at a higher level than me.

I either lack a capacity to experience food on the same sensory level or they're overacting for some reason.  Either way I feel a bit out of touch.

Ooh, that's interesting, I've not tried there yet. Going to have to have a look, preferably once lockdown is let up a bit again.

Chicken wings, a shit load of chicken wings gripping in buttery Frank's. It's just. It's just...yeah.
