Are you passionate about your meals? Whether cooking them, or merely dining out. Are you a 'fussy eater' or a 'connesiour'?

If a restaurant sucks, do you tell your friends to avoid or recommend if they rock!?

Sure, it's not game related, but what the heck.

As it's an international community, it's cool to hear replies from all over!

Arhhh, food - One of my favorite subjects... Finally - Thanks for bringing it up Razz

I guess I'm quite passionate when it comes to food. I love the whole process of preparing a meal.
Thinking about what to make and finding recipes.
Planning the shopping list and - except for what I can dig up in the garden depending on the season - go shopping for what I need.
Then chopping it all up and enjoying the smells of the ingredients filling the kitchen.
Finally cooking the meal and of course serving and eating it, maybe with some friends or family.
Great Very Happy

We are also blessed with both a Weber charcoal and a Weber gas grill, which we use several times each month throughout the year even during winter. In summertime it is often "Chicken on the Throne" / "Beer Can Chicken" / "Beer in the B*** Chicken" I cook on the charcoal Cool

And aren't we lucky having the Internet with all the recipes you can find there. One I will recommend here is: http://www.topsecretrecipes.com/recipes.asp which makes recipe clones of products and dishes from popular diners and food brands.

When I introduced www.topsecretrecipes.com for a colleague who has been to the States, he was thrilled to recognize many of the dishes he got on some of the diners he had visited. (I haven’t been to the States and in Denmark we only have Hard Rock Cafe, Subway, KFC, Burger King and of cause McDonald.) When I showed him "Wendy's Wild Mountain Bacon Cheeseburger" (I can strongly recommend that) he got curious and searched for "Wendy's chili" which he said was great. That was also on the list and I must agree. We got it last night and it was really good.

I hope I didn't get too "Off topic" Embarassed

and I'm looking forward to hear your own and other's thoughts about the subject Very Happy

Resturants - speed of service counts for a lot, along side the food. I like good food but i dont want to spend for ever eating it, also i tend to get back ache if i sit for a long time in a standard up right dining chair.
We tend to ask for recommend from freinds when going out for a meal and will pass comments onto others on things like service quality of menu, food etc.
I thing i really hard is fussy food, nothing annoys me more than to see a plate with a small portion of food, dress to the nines and a dribble of gravy round the plate. I've paid for a meal that will fill me up, not a work of art Evil or Very Mad

it was once important to me but since some time ago its more like my enemy, something that tries to hide peoples sixpacks lol. so I mostly avoid sweet things, things like bread, etc. I eat vegetables, meat etc., the healthy kind of things. I also started to train a lot, 3x a week strenght training, 4-5x a week jogging. if you are interested about the program, go to http://www.iwantsixpackabs.com/abs.html

I'm at university, but unlike many other stereotypical UK students, I don't rely on baked beans or take-aways.

I do a lot of stir fry things at the moment, usually involving chicken/beef with some sort of sauce e.g. black bean or tikka masala. I even do a sort of chicken casserole sometimes. Cool

Heh of course I still have lazy days and eat things like soup, pizza etc and eat a lot of biscuit sometimes, but I believe it doesn't take much effort or skill to start cooking things from ingredients (or just staple foods and jars of sauces), rather than just throwing a plastic packet in the microwave. Plus food labels for certain things tell you how to cook them, so really it's just following instructions until you get a feel for making your own combinations.

Food glorious food...........

We all have to eat and sometimes its a bind when there so many other things to do and so little time to do them in. Laughing

Most anything that come out of the sea but especially langustines, lobsters and scallops and of course the king of fish ~ the HADDOCK. Very Happy

Nothing fancy in the cooking, you don't want to spoil the taste. Fish is quick sustaining and wholesome.
Having a boat sort of helps. With the price of fish, and, by the time most of you buy it its well Crying or Very sad

When I do find the time to cook well thats a different story...........

I look at food as a necessity. Honestly I find it to be an annoyance. Sometimes I think, wait I just ate yesterday you mean I have to do it again today? Embarassed

I know this is strange but it's how I've always been. If I had to pick a favorite though it would be almost any Thai food with the exception of shellfish. I am extremely allergic to it Confused
