The food you love

[wendelclark17]

You must have an English background. Sunday dinners at my parents’ house is roast beef all the time, and their english

Yep .... mother is from Wolverhampton but my Pops is from Northern Ireland. Nothing beats a Sunday Roast .... I'm salivating just thinking about it.

Well considering its coming into Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, I love a nice big home cooked Turkey dinner. Mashed taters, gravy, dressing, parsnips, turnip, carrots. Damn!!

On a regular day though, meat lovers pizza always catches me drooling.

I am a sweet lover so anything with chocolate on it or in it works for me too.

Being from the beautiful Annapolis Valley, I love apples so I also love pretty much any apple type desert. Apple pie, apple crisp, apple anything....

Going back 10 years ago, I did not know how to cook anything. However, around that time my life circumstances suddenly changed and I was left raising a daughter on my own and I had to learn how to cook (we couldn't live off take-out forever).

I'm now proud to say that I'm a bit of an amateur chef. I almost always eat fresh, whole foods. I make most meals from scratch and generally speaking I find the food served at restaurants less appealing than the meals I make myself. The problem, however, with cooking every meal every day, is that I've pretty much stopped "craving" foods. In all honesty, there is only one meal I still crave: Pizza! Pizza is one of the few meals that I just can't replicate at home. I make homemade pizza sometimes, using only the freshest ingredients, but it just can't compare to the pizza served at restaurants. I rarely get a night off from cooking, but when I do it is usually to order pizza.

Another major benefit of ordering pizza is that no one complains, which isn't always the case with the meals I make at home.

I agree with the bolded part 100%, as I do the same.

kind of tired of thanksgiving/Christmas food to be honest. Turkey is pretty boring. But Pumpkin Pie is unreal.

[Axeman33]

We only have the big family dinners like that on a few special occasions each year (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter) so it makes them taste even better!

And yes, the pumpkin pies (along with apple pie, chocolate pie, coconut creme pie) are awesome too!

I love cooking and eating (worked in restaurants for 7 years before my pops started up the business we now work together in)!
So many things I absolutely love haha.

Nachos - I love a great plate of them, Jack Astor's are definitely top 2 for those of you in the area (west/east as well)!
Sushi - There is an incredible little place in our city I frequent with my wife and our friends, always fresh and made perfectly!
BBQ - BIG BONE BBQ. Enough said, this place is a hidden gem in Barrie and Newmarket (Never been to the Newmarket location but if you are in Barrie, STOP. Wings/Ribs/Pork).
Thai - Lived in Thailand for 8 months and unfortunately I have never been able to find something that compares to $1 Pad Thai behind the bank and 7/11 in Bangkok.
Appetizers - I love appetizers, usually end up eating them more than entree's when out with friends, small portion food (tapas style) is the best.

Great thread!

Costco’s pumpkin pie is unreal. It’s got a bigger radius than my cars rims! Plus it’s cheap and delicious. But Easter, Thanksgiving, and Xmas are the only times my family gets together for a full, relaxing meal anymore. Sister’s at school, I don’t like at home, and the odd Sunday I’ll go in for dinner. Then if I do, I gotta leave early to get back to the dog (he hates my parent’s dog lol). So that may add to the taste of the food for the Big 3 meals, but I absolutely love it.

Kelseys and St Louis Bar and Grill have great nachos. Kelseys makes their own chips with this crazy good seasoning on it. It’s got me hooked. St Louis is just so basic, but so good. The regular fixings done right

I think I have had Nachos at Kelseys before, never at St.Louis.
Jack Astors fries their nachos fresh every morning and all the cheese and veggies are freshly grated/cut - salsa is amazing too.
I am actually going to have to go there tonight now thanks to this thread!

My friends and I go to the one walking distance to the area we all live in late at night A LOT. Enough where the bartenders know I order the nachos more times than not. I like them better than JA nachos, but lately I’ve been unimpressed with JA’s food. But St Louis…never have had a bad plate of nachos there.

But I’m getting wings from St Louis for dinner tonight. I’ve been thinking about them for 3 weeks now.

first things I eat when I go back home:

1 frikandel special & 1 kroket. EVERY TIME. And before I board plane back home usually 3 frikandel special & 1 kroket. (or 2 and 2 depending on mood)
absolutely the best stuff every (google if you wanna see what it is)

Also LOVE myself some Chinese food in Holland. I can't stand the stuff they call Chinese food in Canada, and YES there is a major difference. Can't even compare the 2.

I love any kind of rice dish: sweet/sour chicken with rice, butter chicken with rice, tandoori chicken with rice etc. all dishes like that are delicious.

I love myself some pancakes (crepes for proper terminology) and I make em better than any restaurant outside of the Netherlands.

in the summer I love some simple sausages on a bun or hamburgers with fried onions (and the rest of the topics)

I love wiener schnitzels, and its too bad I can't find any decent ones around where I live either. The cuts must be different here.

there is a lot of food I love, but often it depends on the mood I am in


Oh, and if I was on deathrow my last meal would be a combination of all of them

Huge nachos fan. I try them everywhere I go (at least in Canada) and the best so far (and by far) are at Boston Pizza. I order them with taco beef and extra cheese. Insanely addictive.

Homemade Chili

Bacon and Egg Spaghetti (homemade)

Burrito from The Lone Star

Steak from Ruth's Chris (not cheap, but when I'm in Toronto or New York City, I'll treat myself)

Awesome foods listed all over this thread. Great stuff.

I'm a simple man, though, and my favourite food by landslide is a nice bacon cheeseburger and fries. Burgers. Love 'em.
