Title: What food is your weakness?
Post by: Tyler on December 01, 2009, 04:03:07 PM
To go off of ShadowSide's post about In-n-out, what food is your weakness?

Mine is an In-n-out Double Double, Pizza, and Ice Cream.

Ice cream, real gelato style, full cream, any flavor just not low fat or yogurt &
Pasta, any sauce just lots of pasta. 
Real low gylcemic no no's, but like Homer Simpson says, "Ummmmmm".

Piping hot glazed Krispy Kreme donughts.... O0 O0 O0

The problem with hot glazing KK donuts is that as soon as it makes contact with your mouth it literally vaporizes so you end up downing 4,5 or even *cough*12*cough* to reach satiety.....now that's just pure evil  >:D

 Dunkin' Donuts, now thats an American Landmark.  :@`

I'm a cook and a food enthusiast. I used to love to cook just for fun. I'd have people over, just so i could try something new out on them.

In the last several years as I have taken more and more repetitive cooking jobs (places with smaller menus and less variety) like pool halls and bars I have basically become a straight up short order cook. The food I am preparing at these places, while quite tasty is rarely healthy. They are bar food, comfort food, fried food. Big nasty burgers & fries, cheesy pastas, cottage pies, chili, etc... and don't even get me started on the various deep fried things. It doesn't take very long for the free "shift meal" on work days to become a monotonous and and boring thing.  

The longer I do these kinds of jobs the less I want to cook for myself on a day to day basis. Add to that the fact that I get off work at 3am and the ease and convenience of fast food and you have a "recipe" for dietary disaster.

I hit a drive thru about 4 times a week on average (which didn't have much visible effect at 25, but now at 35...ugh). And the sad part is, I have really come to like (and sometimes even prefer) the fast food (to home cooking). And as a result have put on about 40lbs. in the last 3 years, all in the gut.

oh yeah, and I am Ice Creams Bitch. Ben & Jerry's, Haagen Daas, Bryers... man o man. But mostly Cold Stone Creamery, sweet creamy jesus, it owns me.... I am so weak.

Vanilla Ice Cream,   yumm.
Cold beer.

I don't seem to gain any weight,  about 165 pounds or so.

Exercise, like walking and running makes my legs ache, so a
Vanilla Ice Cream is a good alternative.   

Did I mention my favorite is Vanilla?

OK, gotta admit to being down with cheese-ness. Definitely a cheese lover!

Biggest weakness overall - MEXICAN food, I can keep eating it even when I'm full!!
Louisiana Shrimp Etouffee - the one with the white sauce - I can eat it by the 55 gallon drum!

And desserts?

Brownies - gooey chocolate goodness, and the more nuts the better!
and Pecan Pie - (A.K.A. Sin in a crust)

Spicy food and curries are my weakness.  I am not a sweet tooth, but rather a savory man.  Sometimes I will literally crave a nice hot spicy curry and I will impulsively buy or make one to satisfy the crave.

The city where I live, Durban, is the highest population of Indian people outside of India.  The Indian cuisine attracted me about 20 years ago and has largely fueled my weakness towards anything hot, tasty and spicy.

Dishes like Briyani  (a rice, lentil, potato and meat dish), Samoosa’s, “Bunny Chows”  (a quarter or half a loaf of bread filled with curried meat) “Chilly bites”, Tandori Chicken and the likes of are some of my favorite food.  Not very good for the cholesterol levels, but hey, it would not be a “weakness” if I could resist.

Then there is the famous “Nando’s” Chicken here.  A Portuguese style peri peri marinated and flame grilled chicken served with chips and a Portuguese roll.  This is absolutely delicious chicken.

Spicy food is brilliant “comfort food” as the heat from the hot chilies gets the old endorphins working and gives you a sense of pleasure somewaht different to non spicy food.

I  can definitely relate with the half-donut issue....but a close second would have to be canned drinks...This was a big problem in my house when I was married....people would come and drink half of a drink and then put the unfinished drink back in the icebox....drink would spoil and then when you had multiple unfinished drinks, you couldn't tell who had what....that crap made me pull my (remaining) hair out. If you can't finish the canned drink, either share it or don't open it at all!

I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon and say basically anything spicy, curry or Mexican especially. Sweets wise, I can eat a whole mango in one go, and I LOVE anything Reese's

OK, I'm in .... GRITS.  Don't knock 'em if you haven't tried them, and don't knock 'em if you haven't tried them several ways. "Plain" is an acquired taste. But they provide a great foundation to build on. Last night ... small cakes of grits with cheese and chives, fried.

Some American Southern foods are really exquisite.

Though, Central Florida is a bit too far south to be really "Southern."

If you are confused now, you don't live in "The South."

I have to ask,  what are grits?
Title: Re: What food is your weakness?
Post by: Frontier Guy on August 12, 2012, 04:44:45 AM
Grits are very polarizing - you either like 'em or you don't.

Grits (also sometimes called sofkee or sofkey from the Muskogee word) are a food of Native American origin common in the Southern United States and mainly eaten at breakfast. They consist of coarsely ground corn, or sometimes alkali-treated corn (hominy). Grits are similar to other thick maize-based porridges from around the world, such as polenta, or the thinner farina.
They may be served with grated cheese, butter, sausage or country ham red-eye gravy. Grits have also been known to be served with fish such as fried catfish or salmon croquettes. Shrimp and grits is considered a breakfast delicacy in the Low Country of coastal South Carolina and Georgia. Another popular variant is Charleston-style grits, where the grits are boiled in milk, instead of water, to give them a creamy consistency.

Grits can also be fried in a pan or molded to create a firm block; the resulting block can be cut with a knife or wire, and the slices fried in a fat such as vegetable oil, butter, or bacon grease. The word "grits" derives from the Old English word "grytt," meaning coarse meal. This word originally referred to wheat and other porridges now known as groats in parts of the U.K., maize being unknown in Europe in the Middle Ages. The word "grits" is one of the few words that may properly be used as either singular or plural in writing or speech and can be used with a singular or plural verb.

FrontierGuy, sure knows about grits and said a mouthful...I've been eatin' then ever since I bit down on Mama. Back years ago they came from the mill in a much coarser grind than now...took longer to cook but they were, slap your Grandma good. Go to a country grocery store and see if'n you can find, "Coarse Ground Grits".  O0

Ain't that the truth. So many places claim their gumbo is "award winning" and "just like you'd get" and "tastes like home" ... but they're not.

Gumbo is probably the single item I miss the most after a (far too infrequent) visit to LA.

You don't burn the roux and add the file after cooking, right Harry?

I just made a big batch of vegetarian chili this past Friday for that get together that I was venting about on Saturdays post.Used the Morning Star crumbles as my meat and it was a Hit everyone thought it was real meat. O0

As with most American males, cold left over food for breakfast always gets my attention. Cold pizza, cold egg rolls, cold fried chicken, cold refried beans, cold anything casserole will do something woderful to my salivary glands. Somehow, in the morning, warm, oozing food such as oatmeal or soft scrambled eggs is about as appealing as sardines on waffles.....Of course when I was growing up in South Africa, it was cold lobster or prawns peri peri or any really tongue searing curry. Same idea, different contient.

I love spicy!! Mostly Mexican food, but the calories are HUGE!! My mom gave me some good advise....Chicken Enchiladas with lots of jalapenos! On days we ride long distances we usually have Mexican for the high carb count and then go knock off 25-50+ miles, I get the best of both worlds....but no more Chimichangas (sp?) :(

Cheers,

I have too many food weaknesses to list, but I cannot resist chocolate chip cookies.  I can eat them any time of the day or night.  Many years ago there was a television commercial that said "there's always room for JELLO!"  For me, just substitute "chocolate chip cookies" for JELLO.

I'm in the middle of making weight and dropped 8kg in 6 weeks with 2 more to go.
So yeah again...everything! :D

If I can choose which food I'll destroy first after the job is done I go with chocolate cake (Sachertorte) followed by a nice and spicy pizza and some beers!  ;D
