Random Observation/Comment #465: Chinese parents deemed “good children” by how much food they ate. I was exceptional when it came to eating.
Why This List?
This was almost as expected of a list as traveling for me. Since I already did 30 different foods I cooked in my 30 day cooking challenge, I figured that this would be a mix of foods I just love to eat and could never get sick of eating. This is basically my food pyramid.
- Mashed potatoes with turkey gravy on Thanksgiving
- Turkey jook (first made by goomah and second made by Mom)
- Coagulated pork blood (especially in jook (congee), but also good with some greens)
- Lady M green tea crepe cake
- Sophie’s yellow rice, beans, and roast turkey drowning in green sauce
- Angel hair pasta with garlic, red pepper flakes, and clam sauce
- Shanghai Soup dumplings
- Salmon sushi
- Real ramen from Japan
- Onigiri from Japanese 7-11
- Thinly sliced beef for shabbu shabbu when dipped into raw egg + soy sauce + sha cha sauce
- Kobe beef sashimi – all day every day, but I’d be so poor
- Indian chicken curry on the bone over rice or with naan
- Chipotle burrito with half steak and half barbacoa drowned in green tabasco sauce
- Breadbowl chili (specifically during midday on the ski slope lodge)
- Clementines – I can probably eat a whole box
- Honey Bunches of Oats with silk almond milk
- Fresh nectarines when going nectarine picking
- Ziti pizza slices that I used to get all the time with Jake
- Mapo tofu with rice
- Steamed fish off the bone with the head with soy sauce and oil concotion mixed with rice
- Lasagna – I’m basically garfield with good metabolism
- Molten lava chocolate cake as a dessert filled with melting fudge (serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream)
- Raw oysters (although it’s hit and miss, when it hits, I’m so game)
- Chicken hearts izakaya skewers
- Choi yok bau – from when I was younger getting 3 for $1 in the flushing carts
- Eggplant Parm (made by my gf’s Mom)
- Breakfast burrito with sausage gravy in it
- Egg and cheese with mayo, lettuce, hot sauce from Nadal’s deli for breakfast while in Harlem
- Bacon… because it’s bacon (extra crispy, please)
