roboticanary Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Just out of interst, what are peoples favourite foods. For me, my favourite savoury food is the chip butty, which is an unhealthy monstrosity but absolutely wonderful. For sweets I have a soft spot for spogs, one of the worst things for me was when I found out I could buy a massive 3kg bag of spogs and I both regret finding that out but also don't 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilse Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 i'll have to say lasagna, i could eat it for days and never get tired of it. and as for sweets nearly anything with chocolate, caramel or cajeta. i have a sweet tooth for a lot of things ?♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sissi Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Is it weird that my favorite food is just plain white rice? and for sweets... Brigadeiro de paçoca, i think or maybe a nuts cake with doce de leite. or anything that does not involve chocolate and has strawberries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintly Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Oh this is a hard one lol. Favorite savory food is probably a well-made bowl of piping hot noodle soup - ramen (not the instant kind), pho, or Taiwanese-styled beef noodle. Non-soupy noodle dishes like mie goreng, lard na, yakisoba too...ok maybe I'm just a predictable Asian who likes all kinds of noodles haha. Sweets...probably panna cotta or custard pudding?

SkyTuneRein Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Chocolate, specifically dark chocolate, is the gateway to my heart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonmerci Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Tough question. There are so much good food in the world. If I had to chose one, I'd say pasta carbonara. For sweets, it will be crêpes. Google tells me that English for crêpes is pancakes, but I ate pancakes and even if that's good too, that's not the same, so I will call that crêpes lol. Tell me you don't want some : 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crêpes I guess aren't and are really really thin things. to be honest I prefer crepes, especially in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonmerci Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Yes, that's it, crêpes are thinner. Don't know for other countries, but in France, it is common to have people sell some near beaches in holidays areas. So yes, perfect for summer.

SkyTuneRein Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Crêpes also seem to be popular in Japan too. 4 minutes ago, ilse said: (though here in mexico some people just put nutella or chocolate sauce on a tortilla and call it a crêpe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaAro Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Vegan Indian samosas, with chickpea filling. ? On 7/19/2021 at 5:45 PM, nonmerci said: For sweets, it will be crêpes.

Tell me you don't want some : Yeah, there are many variations which can make quite a difference. I liked the ones I encountered in Czechia, called palačinka, with walnuts and chocolate sauce. I also like the (vegan) pancakes my uncle makes, who is from the U.S.. He uses a wheat flour and corn meal mix, I think. And those are very thick in comparison! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm_leopardcat Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Honestly? I am not a fan of food and I do not like eating. But I do have certain food items i like more than most. For dishes? For rice, Biryani, with aloo, of course. Especially my mom's homemade Biryani! As for salan? Well, nihari, haleem, aloo ghosht. Stuff like that. And arvi (taro root) as well! Spring rolls. Soups. Shawarma. Popcorn. Corn. Vanilla ice-cream. Pistachios. Dark chocolate. Black pepper? Does that count as a food? Blueberries! Cucumbers! Carrots! Peanut Butter, hmm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alto Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Orange chicken is traditionally considered an Asian food, although I don't know if it actually comes from Asia. It is chicken with kind of an orange flavored crust. I think it IS delicious! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AromanticAardvark Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Savoury: it's a tie between steak and udon noodle soup Sweet: Crepes, but specifically from this place near my elementary school that I used to eat every day after school (it closed down a while ago, and the owner moved to Israel. Really really good crepes there though, I miss it so much) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I like pretty much everything that includes pasta! (Or at least I like to say so, because I only eat spaghetti and pesto...) I also love cakes and pies! My favourite pie is the apple one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvest-Unity Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Budae jigae (army stew, from Korea, pretty easy to make actually) or paella (spanish rice dish) it really depends on which one I haven't had in a while, because I a food more if I haven't had it in a while (currently these two dishes are at a draw).

Unfortunately since I keep kosher (Jewish dietary laws, basically I can't have most meat that isn't prepared specially, and nothing that lives in the ocean that doesn't have fins and scales), there's not many options for me to pick from, so I usually have veggies and (ocasionally) tempura. What about you? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about you? How, may I ask how strictly religious/Jewish you are? Seems you are more religious than I thought you were, since you stick to eating kosher only.

I'm not really part of any denomination, since I barely go to shul, but if I had to pick one I'd probably say Reform or even maybe Conservative Judaism. And I'm like.... meh religious. I don't go to shul with any regularity (I go once every year during the High Holidays to hear the shofar, but other than that I basically never go), but I do celebrate most of the major holidays and fasts, and I do keep (mostly) kosher (aka, packaged food doesn't have to have a kashrut symbol, but I won't eat pork or a cheeseburger). What about you, how religiously Muslim are you? Edited December 15, 2022 by AromanticAardvark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about you, how religiously Muslim are you? How religiously Muslim I am would be a sort of difficult question to answer. Regular and frequent worship of Allah (SWT) is an extremely important thing in Islam. Prayer (Salah) is one of the five pillars of Islam, along with the shahadah (the declaration that there is no god worthy of worship but Allah, and that Muhammad is His final Prophet and Messenger), sawm (obligatory fasting in the Islamic month of Ramadan), doing Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah and Madinah), and giving Zakah (obligatory charity, mandatory upon any Muslim who fulfils the criteria for it). So, yes, I pray all of the five prayers as much as I can, as much as it isn’t possible for me, and I fast in Ramadan. Zakah is not yet obligatory upon me, and it is currently not possible for me to go perform the Hajj (or even Umrah). Eating haram foods is quite a major sin, and is prohibited. It is definitely not allowed to eat pork, or drink alcohol. There are other haram foods, yes, but I cannot go into detail right now. As for going to the masjid (mosque) to pray, it is not obligatory upon AFAB Muslims to pray in the mosque. Most pray at home, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be a reward for praying in the mosque. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
