Favorite Meal
hellw...@my-deja.com
I've been thinking about this for awhile, ever since I read that Ronald
Reagan for his 80th birthday asked for meat loaf, macaroni and cheese,
and mashed potatoes and Hugh Hefner ate the same thing every night for
years, which in Beef Stroganoff! Comfort food, doncha know.

favorite has to be fried chicken, silver queen corn (off the cob), butter
beans, crowder peas, sliced tomatoes and stewed muscadine grape hulls. Naw,

I think it's hard to beat a bowl of good homemade chicken noodle soup with
homemade noodles. Piping hot. With a leetle bit of ketchup in it.

Ham and beans, fried potatoes, and cornbread. With lemon meringue pie
(made with Eagle brand milk)
Not a balanced meal but you did ask for favorite. This was my choice for
my birthday menu for years and years and still is.

Wow! That is a tough question.
I will say that any of my favorite meals would have to include mashed
potatoes, made in any one of several methods. There is the standard
boiling, with milk, butter, salt & pepper. There's the baking method,
with the same finish. Then there's this great Jewish method - which
includes onions sauteed in schmaltz (rendered chicken fat). I only do
that once a year, though.
But let's say either roasted or fried chicken, mashed potatoes and
green beans, with onions either pan fried with the chicken, or stuffed
in the cavity of the roasted bird.
Oh, and the roasted chicken coated in McCormick's chicken seasoning.
On the other hand, a great summer meal would be steak on the grill, and
freshly steamed artichokes with a lemon-garlic aioli.
Or my smothered pork chops.
But hands down, the first chicken dishes.
And my homemade chicken soup, with my matzoh balls.

It's hard to narrow it down to just one meal, but a bowl of green
chile stew and some fry bread gets very close. Oh, and some honey on
another piece of fry bread for dessert.

Picking my favorite meal is a difficult task. It really depends on the
mood I am in. If I am looking for comfort food and a substantial dinner, I
love roast chicken stuffed with a basic bread stuffing. With that, a real
baked potato (not nuked or steamed in aluminum foil) or Kasha and Bowties,
with fresh Italian string beans. Yum!

Ack! This is a tough one.
Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp to start
Sapphire Martini with two olives
Roast Beef (medium rare)
Horseradish Cream
Mashed Potatoes & Brown Gravy (made from the drippings of the roast)
Steamed Broccoli
Cabernet Sauvignon
For Dessert - Fresh Fruit (mango, berries, peach, pear) with a selection of
ripe cheeses.
Champagne and Cassis
(But then a pint of Bass, some Bangers and Mash, Herb Gravy and Petit Pois
doesn't suck either....lol)

I've always liked prime rib. I like it with simple vegetables and
mashed or redskin potatoes.
At my favorite fish restaurant, I like any light and flakey fish with
(again) simple veggies and a glass or two of Piesporter.

Here's the recipe:
Wet Coconut Cake
Prepare your favorite sheet cake ( we like a basic white cake). Bake
according to directions. When baked and while still hot (leave in the pan),
poke holes in the cake and pour one can cream of coconut over cake. Let
cool. Ice with your favorite coconut cake icing. Whipped Cream with
coconut mixed in is our favorite.
Very basic, very moist, and very delicious!!

This is a tough question, because I have many favorite meals and it really
all depends on my mood at the time. But a fine comfort meal for me is the
non-fat-conscious, completely delicious:
Country Fried Steak with Cream Gravy
Mashed potatoes
fresh green beans cooked with ham or lean salt pork
white beans (cooked same as the beans)
yellow cornbread
sweetened iced tea?... no... cold Dixie beer

> What's your favorite meal?
I've been thinking about this and decided that I can't pick one, any more
than I can pick a favorite piece of music. There are just too many things
that all stand together at the top of the list. It would not be far off
the mark to say that my favorite meal is a choice between the next one and
the one I just had. For example, for breakfast this morning I toasted a
bagel. While it was toasting I picked a Brandywine tomato and some basil.
Cut two thick slices of the tomato, sprinkled them with salt and chopped
basil. Spread the bagel with cream cheese, topped with the tomato slices
(they're bigger than the bagel), and there it was -- definitely one of my
favorite meals.

No, no, no... you are NOT strange. I have the same thing. My
favorite meal changes with the season, and with what just sounds
good. And I, too, favor autumn and winter food the best, with the
exception of watermelon.
You mention all my favorite things up there, except for the sauerkraut
with the pork roast. I favor a hot cranberry relish with my pork
roast.
Right now I'd have to say that my favorite meal is grilled chicken,
potato salad and corn on the cob. Last week, it was ratatouille.

meals depend on the season. She also listed many wonderful "fall/winter"
foods. Nancy Howells agreed, and wondered "(maybe it's a Nancy thing?)".
Well, as I'm a Jennifer, and the parents didn't even consider Nancy for me
(Evelyn was the only other female option, go figure)...I can assure you
this "problem" is not just a Nancy thing! :0
I also vary my meals by season....or perhaps my *body* does, by craving
different things at different times. I too, enjoy "fall/winter" foods
more....but I agree that there is nothing quite like Watermelon on a hot
day. (Although beer drinkers will probably disagree!)
Overall, I'll admit that I've been avoiding this thread, because I have
SOOO many favorites. Here is how crazy I am with food.....sometimes, I go
hungry because I can't decide which of my favorite things to eat!
I adore Chinese (although I've probably never had authentic Chinese)....my
mom makes the best egg foo young (sp?)...but a local restaurant has hot
and spicy beef, sweet and sour chicken and tofu pot that equals
perfection.
For many years, on my birthday, I would demand my father's lasagna and
Baker's Square (in early years, Poppin' Fresh) Lemon Meringue pie.
I'm crazy about good chicken, with tasty crispy skin. A local greek
"fastish" food place makes a lemon chicken to DIE for. My mom and I also
will buy just the legs of the turkey, and cook them for a snack....she
also introduced me to the wonder that is pork hocks with saurkraut and
brown sugar. Sigh...I miss living at home!
Anything with potatoes...I'm there.
I love soups and stews, anything in a bowl, heated.
When summer started, I ate nothing but greek salad and fresh bread for
about two weeks...but then I turned on the air and went back to "winter"
food!
Apologies in advance to all the favorite foods I forgot. Like eggs!
jennifer,
craving squash now! even frozen...OH! I might have a can of yams in the
cupboard! :)

Yeah but there is a difference by having a fatty favourite meal and
having a fatty regular diet.
I can only speak for Sweden , but here people tend to eat health
consiously most of the time so they can allow themselves a hamburger
meal, a bearniassauce, french fries or what ever every once in a
while..
We eat a lot of boiled potatoes and mixed sallads here, almost noone
cooks with lard etc
We also eat a lot of brown bread and hard bread, good for fibres.

Depends, of course.
When I was a teen spending summers in Welfleet (Cape Cod) with my rich
grandparents, my sister and I devised the "ultimate" lunch- lobster
salad on croissant with lettuce and tomato, cashews on the side, melon
blueberry and kiwi salad, champagne and orange juice to wash it down.
The meals I most crave are the ones I cannot afford health-wise, or
financially. Big platters of hot spicy tuna sushi or spider crab
sushi... Beef sashimi... Steamed Lobster and artichokes with lots of
lemon garlic butter and french loaf...
My fave comfort food that I cook often enough is what we've nicknamed
Chicken Schmeg- some kind of boneless chicken (nowadays skinless
chicken thighs), with onion and canned mushroom soup, mixed with
whatever else is on-hand: carrots, mushrooms, lemon juice, vermouth or
white wine, etc. served over rice
Either that, or another of my grandmother's (RIP) influences- fried
eggs with mashed potatoes.

I guess they were.
I remember coming back to Ottawa after spending a summer there and my
mother being all pleased and presenting us with steak for dinner... A
welcome back to the mainland dinner, I suppose.
That afternoon I had had my braces tightened.
The three months previous I had eaten nothing but seafood and pheasant
(hence the rich comment).
That night I gave up on beef.
Shortly thereafter, pork and lamb left.
Next thing I knew, I was a vegetarian.
Which was abandoned after a cheeseburger craving whilst pregnant...
whoops- sorry for rambling!
