Title: Name a food that you like, but most people hate
Post by: john on June 25, 2013, 04:10:39 PM
My secret love is for canned herring and sardines.  I particularly like them packed in hot sauce or mustard, and will do kippered herring for a change.  My wife hates it, the cats love me when I eat them.

Fried pickles from the Rutter's by my girlfriends house.

A place in Perry county sells deep fried beer. I have yet to try it, but it's beer, and it's deep fried. It has to be good.

I LOVE Jalapenos.  I put them on everything.  When I go to Subway I ask for extra jalapenos, after they put what they think is "extra" on I tell them to double it.

I've never had fried beans.  Are they as good as refried beans?  Maybe we're just wasting time the second time through  :icon_rolleyes:

Take a jelly donut - raspberry works great ...
Stick it in the toaster over till the top turns brown, and usually that's when the kelly inside starts to bubble outward and comes back out and starts to char ...

Then take it out. let it cool and eat it.

Now if you liked that, sprinkle sugar on it ...
If you liked that ...

OK fine start toasting anything and everything ... I like Gulab Jamun (indian sweet) and gulab jamun syrup ...

If you can eat that ... 2 is my limit ...
Then toast the syrup till it turns into caramel.

So, in short anything that is sickly sweet, and can be caramelised.

Cool.
Buddha.

Gulab jamun is the bomb.  And not a weird food at all unless you don't like fried dough with super sweet sugar syrup.  It may be the best kept secret of Indian cuisine.

Bully beaf ... the military man's dog food. I love it. Keep three cans in my pantry permanently for snacks. Don't even eat it on bread ... just a spoon and straight out of the can.

Not so much a food, but a drink.

"Splashe"; Back 'o' Bourke Cola. My whole family is addicted to it. Anyone who I've introduced to it hates it, cause they've got no taste buds cause they've drunk coke all their lives.

Also, Chicken "Legs" made by a butcher in Bourke NSW as well. They're not chicken, it's mince meat, spices and whatnot. So friggin' tasty it's not even funny. Everyone who I know who has family from Bourke or was brought up there loves them, anyone who didn't come from that area hates them. I cook up a stack of them and chuck them in the fridge for a snack. They're pretty good cold or hot.

Hey ... there's another one ... there's an indigenous meal in SA made out of boiled chicken legs ... normally served on pap (think of it like a .... flip ... there's no way to describe it so it sounds better, but it tastes great ... maize porridge (almost like US grits, but dryer)) with chicken gravy. It is the shizniz.

Giblet soup ...

when i was a young fella (under 10) ..my dad and grandad used to take me out with them duck shooting on a swamp ... i'd be runnin backwards and forwards like a gun dog bringing in the downed birds... when we got back home my grandad would start some water boiling and toss a couple chopped onions in the pot, some mixed herb flakes .. and the Giblets from the ducks .. Hearts, crops (cleaned out) , liver and sometimes little kidneys .. let it all simmer real low for half an hour... smelt real 'dirty meaty' .. but best tasting soup ever for "hunting buddies"  :thumb:

No shaZam!.  And 98% of restaurants don't even have them to put on a salad.  I keep anchovie paste in the fridge.  I put some in my Caesar dressing and shake it up.

Giblets.  Yea it's all good.  I love liver in particular.  Whether turkey, chicken or beef or pig.  It is so rich in nutrition.  And grill some onions with it with lots of butter.  Oh baby.

Another thing I really like is figs.  90% of people have never eaten one.  And yet it may be one of the best tasting fruits (flower really) ever.  I have 2 pounds in my fridge.  Dried figs are good too, but I prefer fresh.  They are in season in AZ right now.

Ooh yeah ... Fresh figs! ... Also ... Bamboo steamer ... Put figs in for about 8 mins on 'medium' steam ... Little drizzle of honey and balsamic vinegar over top (yeah trust me!) ... Big scoop of rich vanilla ice cream .........

..... Now I have drool all over the iPad again!!  :icon_rolleyes: ;) :thumb:

Here's another great local one...it's called a smiley (you can also buy half smiles). The most tender meat always comes from the least used muscles...and where are the muscles used least but in the head? You slow cook it for like four hours and it literally falls of the bone. As long as you don't mind a meal that stares back at you.

Also quite partial to beef tongue...boiled, skinned, sliced and served on fresh home-made bread. With a little whole-grain mustard and lettuce. Only meal that tastes you back.  :thumb:

Gulab Jamun toasted till the syrup bubbles is the bomb ... get the thing the ysell in the can so the syrup is thick as paste ... he he ...

Now Gulab Jamun lite = Rasagolla.
Rasmalai - has too many steps cos the versions in the can are dry. You have to make a whole milk and this and that preparation round it to make real rasmalai.
Then Try Soan papdi ... I have a big tray (not trey who now is Dora the illegal alien ) of it I am working through.

Anyway Okra in India is not called lay fingers ... its called "ladies finger" ... Those brits.

Cool.
