Food Meme

Now here’s a meme that I can pass on . . .

3 favoritest foods:

Crab cakes, potstickers, chocolate, not necessarily in that order. Favorite snack food:

apples . . . or chocolate 😉 Favorite Breakfast food:

I’m not all that fond of breakfast foods, but I guess fruited yogurt or bagels would be my favorite.

Favorite beverage:

Most of the time I just drink water, but if I’m out I have lemonade or Mountain Dew (ew, carbonated high fructose syrup with brominated vegetable oil — how sick is that?) For alcoholic beverages, riesling or mango dreams

3 favoritest local restaurants:

Radio Maria, Dos Reales, The Great Impasta

3 favoritest non-local restaurants:

I can only think of one right now — The Crab Trap (Destin, FL)

*** ooooh, just thought of another . . . Turtle Bay Estate House in St. John, USVI and the Caneel Beach Bar at the same destination! 😀

Favorite fast food place:

Best Wok, which probably isn’t what anyone had in mind with this, but they are really fast and they are my favorite spot for lunch, but if we’re going with a ‘drive-thru’ criteria, Subway.

You’re at the farmer’s market – you’re hungry – you’ve got 10 bucks – what do you buy?

I’m not at the farmer’s market b/c I haven’t been since I had kid #3. But when I used to go in New Mexico, I would buy an apple empanada for breakfast and that would leave me more than $8 still in my pocket! 😉

3 least favorite foods:

beets, sauerkraut, organ meat of any kind — won’t touch any of those

Beef, Chicken, Pork, Fish – pick just one?: If by fish I can mean shellfish, then fish — I don’t like true fish so much as I LOVE shrimp, clams, scallops, and crab. But if I’m near the ocean I like to get red snapper and ahi tuna. But if I’m stuck in IL, as I am 50 wks out of the year, then more often than not it’s pork b/c organic beef is so darned expensive.

What game-ish meats have you had?

Venison, once long ago, cooked in a crockpot so that the entire house stank. I’ve never eaten it again.

What’s the most unusual thing you’ve ever eaten?

Probably the little octopus that was sitting on top of my food in a Vietnamese place . . . actually, I only ate one leg b/c she was rather rubbery and the texture weirded me out.

Like sushi?

Not really.
