[COLOR=Sienna]My favourite food, far and away, is the dish known only as 'poutine'. It's a fairly localized dish that is, essentially, fries, gravy and cheese curds all put into one steaming bowl of deliciousness.

Other than that, pizza is great (I only like meat; as much meat as possible. No vegetables.), subways (Again, mostly meat and lettuce), hamburgers, bacon sandwhiches, and pizza pockets, of course.

I hate umm.. anything even remotly healthy, fake cheese (I'm looking at you, Kraft!) and umm... chili.[/COLOR]

[SIZE=1]Gyros, with a lot of Tzatziki sauce. As a resident of Greek Town, USA, I love a good gyro and look down on the people who pronounce it 'jye-roh'. In Tarpon Springs, we try to pronounce it the way the Greeks do, kinda like 'yee-roh' with a rolled 'r'. Yep, nothing beats a good gyro for me, expecially when it has a lot of tomatoes, onions and tzatziki sauce.

Surprisingly, I'm also an instant Ramen addict. Nothing beats extra salty noodles when you're in a hurry. And, because I don't know how to make it the regular way, I love that instant coffee that comes in a can. Just add water and voila! Instant mocha!

When it comes to foods I hate, Cantaloupe is very high on my list. There is also stroganoff(sp?) mousaka on my list too. I tend to not like foods that are very greasy, such as fast food and pizza, depending on where you get it. Other than these things, I'm not very picky when it comes to food.

EDIT: I forgot to mention how much I love spicy, cajun styled foods. Gumbo, Jambalaya, and virtually anything with jalapenos are on my have to have list if they're around. Besides that, I love sushi because I'm a wasabi addict. Enchiladas I also love, and I'm saddened because it's been years since I've had a good one. Funny thing is that you get better Mexican food in Pennsylvania than in Florida. My guarantee is that, if its spicy, I'll like it without any arguments.

EDIT Again: Ziggy, you're making me want to try that Poutine...[/SIZE]

Other than [B]Broccoli, Spinach, Collard Greens,Brussle Sprouts[/B] and [B]Sausage[/B], I will eat just about anything deemed as food. I've eaten rabbit, octopus, squid, deer, etc. My favorite foods are japanese steakhouse, sushi, pizza, spaghetti, ramen, chicken regenado, buffalo wings, and basically all Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Southern, Italian, or Mexican food.

My favorite sandwhich would have to be a local special called the Georgio Special. A literal heart-attack on bread. It is comprised of bacon, roast beef, ham, turkey, and cheese with mayo, in between two pieces of bread. I like to add onions, but other than that, it is the most unhealthy, greasy, meat-packed sammich you will ever encounter. I love it so much.

I like all junk food. Cheetohs, Lays, Fritos, Pringles, Pretzels, etc. I am known to down a whole bag in a sitting. Granted a long sitting. French fries, curly fries... The Hardees (aka Carl Jr.) Thickburgers are great. Sourdough bread, 1/3 pound, bacon... Goodness. God's gift to me in life is the Taco Bell Grilled Stuffed Steak Burrito. I can eat two of those things no problem. Delecious.

For sweets. Everything 'cept nuts. Ruins the flavor of chocolate and caramel all the time. But for some strange reason, I'll eat a Snickers. I guess the combination cancels out the peanuts. Anything fruity. I love all ice cream ('cept nuts). I love anything in pie form. I love all fruits save pears, cantoloupe and plums. Cookies... ah, nothing beats a warm cookie. Brownies too. And Cake...

And while my love for food is predominate in my personality and life style, my metabolism keeps my weight in check some how or another. Lucky me. I think I may be guilty of gluttony.

[b]BTW-[/b] I'm Greek. I love gyros, but I can't stand tzatziki sauce. Makes me shiver to think about it. I'll eat a gyro with nothing but hunks of seasoned lamb/chikcen on it. Onions and 'maters. Good to go.[/color][/size]

There is only one food I've eaten that has instantly made me vomit: oysters. Also, I can't stand when someone in my family cooks chitterlings/chitlins. For those of you not in the know, chitlins are pig intestines. It is the most disgusting, foul smelling food ever prepared.

I absolutely love italian food. If it involves oregano, tomato sauce, or a form of pasta, I'm there.

[quote name='The Boss']Other than Broccoli[/quote]
Broccoli gets such a bad rap, sometimes. It's actually one of the vegetables I enjoy eating the most. The stem is just terrible to bite into, but the flowery part on top carries so much flavor. It's especially good when you cook it into something else, like a stir fry.

If your wondering where Alsace is, its a place between France and Germany and it shares each cultural interests, but they speak French(so do i)[/COLOR][/FONT]

[font=Trebuchet MS]I recently discovered chili ramen and similar Japanese noodly dishes. I've been apprehensive about trying Japanese cooking because I have violent and unpleasant reactions to excess monosodium glutamate, and Oriental food tends to contain bucketloads of the stuff. But a lunch out at Wagamama's gave me no ill effects, so hooray, that's a whole new cuisine opened up to me. Just so long as I'm careful with the dreaded MSG content.

I'm surprised there hasn't been much mention of pudding! My mum makes an awesome toffee-pecan filling which goes well in cakes, as an ice-cream sauce or in an arctic roll. It's so sweet I actually can't eat seconds without coming over faint from sugar overload, but it's heaven in every spoonful, yum.

.:EDIT:.
Oh yeah, least favourite foods. I don't understand the bad rap most veg gets, considering it really doesn't taste of anything. But celery is the worst semi-edible thing ever. It's a green vegetable so it should just taste of water, but instead it tastes ... bad. And it requires more calories to eat than it gives you on digestion, which is why supermodels eat it. It has no nutritional value, and is nasty-tasting. Therefore, worst food ever. In fact, I petition that it should be declassified, and no longer considered food at all.

[COLOR=Indigo]One of my favorite foods is tuna sandwiches, I love them with everything on it like lettuce, peppers, onions, tomatoes and a few other things. I also love salads.

What I don?t care for is foods that have a lot of grease in them. Blech! It doesn?t matter what it is, if it has a greasy taste to it I don?t like it.[QUOTE=Raiyuu][font=Trebuchet MS]:EDIT:.

[/font][/QUOTE]The trick to celery is to cut in into short little pieces about 3 to 4 inches long and then place them in a jar or container of water in the fridge. Try it sometime, it totally changes how the celery tastes. It?s very, very good. [/COLOR]

Chocolates and coffee!! q __q aaah. I love vegetables!
I don't like celery. It has such a weird taste and smell that I can't stand. Although I heard putting cheese on it makes it taste better? :p

[B]OR[/B] you can cover them in peanut butter. I find that always improves the taste [i]drastically[/i].

Wow, there are other people who dislikes celery. :: stares at Raiyuu and Mello :: I thought my hubby was the only one. It's a texture thing with him though. I think it's the "strings". I love it. I'll eat celery with peanut butter or dipped in ranch dressing. Not to mention all the other foods that have celery in them that I love.

For the foods I think are the best. Anything that I enjoy eating. At the top of the list would be miso soup as Chie mentioned. I can survived off of miso. Throw in some tofu or daikon and I'm set! I am also a big fan of poultry. Chicken dishes like teriyaki chicken (homemade of course) or grilled chicken sandwiches are probably at the top of that list.

As for drinks: Coffee is my drug of choice. I love coffee. Iced or hot I am a very happy girl with a coffee in my hands.

In the worst food catagory. I am not a picky eater. Which is very evident by the extra "padding" I seem to have around my middle. :animeangr But there are foods I don't really care much for. Those would be really spicy dishes. No hot sauce for me. I need the "Mild Little Prince Curry" and not the "Manhattan style" as seen in FLCL. Too spicy is too much for me.

As for worst drink: Faygo's Diet Chocolate Cream Pie. My father-in-law got some and it was so nasty he made all of us drink some of it. Yuck! Never again.

I like to layer two or three different types of cheese, separated by lettuce or slices of tomato, some wafer-thin sliced ham, and then Thousand Island dressing to stick it all together. That's a day's worth of food between two slices of bread!

Maybe I'll give it a try, though I think it proves my point as well. Any food that requires that much effort to make it taste nice shouldn't be a food!

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]I love broccoli! And all sorts of vegetables. ^_^ I like to steam them until they are slightly crunchy. Sometimes I?ll put a little bit of grated cheese on them but I prefer them without anything added.

I also like baked fish like salmon and trout with just a tiny bit of butter melted on them. A plate of baked trout, rice and steamed veggies is just so yummy!

The thing I don?t like is foods that are super greasy. >_< I?m even picky about what types of sausage I will eat as some are far more greasy than other brands. [/COLOR]

I enjoy pretty much any kind of spicy/curry food. Most chinese foods, and turkey. Im not very picky when it comes to food, but i only really won't eat eggs or seafood (in contradiction to my asian side, heh).

I've always wanted to eat at an actual ramen house though, see why Naruto likes it so much.

I'm not all that picky about food. If it's nutritious, I'll eat it. Although I have a liking for most things with a lot of spices in it, and Chinese and Japanese food. And insects! Now don't judge me too harshly - insects are incredibly good for you. As long they are clean and healthy that is.

I say I'm not that picky about food, I won't touch chicken. Can't stand the stuff. Plus you got a high chance of catching food poisoning from it if it's under-cooked, so I'm always paranoid about it when I have to cook some.
