ok i have had enough .... if you could have 1 meal what would it be?

[Botany]

start to finish


btw spoon bread and crab imperial are taken

I want to see drinks and coffee/teas too

[blm]

1. Baked Brie with an '89 Bordeaux

That is all I need start and finish.

[Siwsan]

2. Cod and Chips, brown sauce, Taunton Cider.

Admittedly, it was a close call to this amazing lamb curry I used to get at a lovely little curry shop in West Kensington. Then we would always have Rum Baba's for afters, with some nice strong black tea.

Maybe the curry could fit in as an appetizer and I keep the Rum Baba.

[madamesilverspurs]

3. Cornish pastie

with a cup of coffee for dessert.

[senseandsensibility]

4. My current favorite meal

(because it's hot and I'm craving cool food), is from a locally owned restaurant near me. It starts with a white wine sangria (hey!), and fresh baked sourdough bread and yes, butter. Then I order a seafood harvest salad consisting of mixed greens, a sweet balsamic dressing, salmon, prawns, and scallops, with bacon bits, feta cheese, and tomatoes. I know it's a salad, but it probably has more meat than most main courses. If room allows, coconut banana cake and fresh pressed coffee follow.

[Botany]

9. + !

sounds good

[SheilaT]

17. Where do you live?

Do you take in houseguests? I want that salad.

[Shrike47]

5. Bacon. Piles and piles of bacon. Hash browns. Chocolate for dessert.

[pkdu]

27. Save a selection...chocolate covered bacon...

[Oneironaut]

6. Nutella Pizza with marshmallows

[JanMichael]

7. Roasted human with beets & salad. I've been a vegetarian for years and if I go I go out bad. nt

[lpbk2713]

8. Sea scallops and warm butter to dip in.

Cole slaw from a local restaurant. Baked Russet potato with sour cream. Jasmine tea.

A nice flan for desert.

[OldHippieChick]

10. Because I've tried to be paleo for some time, my dream meal

is spaghetti and meat balls. Damn, I salivate just thinking about it

[Lurker Deluxe]

11. I have it kinda regular

Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and fried okra, sweet tea to round out ... then a nap.

There are many places around Houston to have my favorite meal, Hickory Hollow is a favorite and is close. Goodson's is classic and if I take the 249 route to go to Conroe it is hard to pass up.

Good old fashioned food.

[okasha]

44. That's one of my favorites, too.

The best chicken fried steak on the planet comes from a restaurant in Zapata, Texas. The "small" fills the platter. The "large" could pass for a carpet

They also have great chilis rellenos.

[840high]

12. Fried chicken, okra, mashed potatoes.

[Shandris]

13. Seafood meat mix of scallops, crab, flounder, lobster, and shrimp...

...over rice with mixed veggie packet (corn, mushrooms, celery, carrots, zucchini, and snow peas with minced ginger, light garlic, and a rosemary/olive oil toss). Maybe a breaded mushrooms for appetizer from a local place/fair. For dessert...nothing. Maybe a light fruit bowl an hour after the meal, something with mangos, if I had to pick something. Also partial to the local taco salads, as they're nothing like the Taco Bell Tex-Mex stuff.

I like Jamaican/Hibiscus tea, Green, black, or Oolong tea that I know of, and probably many others I don't (I've never had a tea I didn't like that wasn't a corporate syrup).

Seafood is all I ever want to eat most days. Which totally sucks, living just about as far away from seafood as humanly possible!

[Kingofalldems]

14. Pizza

Spaghetti and meatballs on the side.

[Gabi Hayes]

15. I like toast:

[Bluenorthwest]

55. Toast can never be bread again.

nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

16. Maine Lobster

Steamed veggies, melted butter, baked potato.

Iced tea lightly sweetened with sugar.

Til I explode.

[Major Nikon]

37. I ate this bad boy last August in northern Maine

[cherokeeprogressive]

38. Bucket List Item. nt

[SheilaT]

18. If I can get some home grown tomatoes

I'll go for a BLT on wheat toast.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. There is nothing in this world that tastes as great as a BLT combo ! nt

[brettdale]

19. thats easy

The juiciest piece of steak, cooked medium rare by Gordon Ramsay, along with fried onions,
and french fries, and a egg sunny side up, and a piece of garlic bread, ending with
a cold cold glass of FULL milk.

[Warpy]

20. Things I can't have, of course, including alcohol.

Parker House rolls, stiff G&T, crudites with dip

Fried chicken from a joint in town that does it right, flour tortillas, my own coleslaw and potato salad, beer.

Watermelon and citrus salad, another stiff G&T

(I should mention that it's 97 in the house right now, my winter menu would be different)

[kacekwl]

21. Prime rib with

baked potato and firm broccoli. Gin and tonic before dinner, cappuccino after.

[B2G]

22. So hard to decide

Fried zucchini and mushrooms with ranch & horseradish sauce for the app. Veal saltimbocca with angel hair pasta for the entree. Creme Brule and pressed decaf for dessert.

Now I'm starving.

[Cracklin Charlie]

23. Soul food

Pinto beans with ham hock
Home canned chow chow
Freshly picked sweet corn, removed from cob, kernels sauteed in butter, then simmered in milk
Peeled and sliced warm from the vine heirloom tomatoes
Green onions
Cornbread muffins with butter
Green salad/red wine vinaigrette
Sweet tea

For dessert

Chocolate Meringue Pie and
Banana Pudding

[femmocrat]

24. Ethnic dishes from my childhood:

My grandma's home-made chicken soup.

Cabbage rolls (holupki), with potato salad, beets, and baby peas. Home-made bread.

Nut roll and kolache (cookies) for dessert.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Holy cow girl !!! Russian? Ukranian? or Polish?

My grandparents were part all of the above.

You bring back such wonderful and delicious memories !

I have tried a thousand times to recreate the chicken soup. My mom says you can't because she went to the market and bought fresh fowl.

What about perogie???

[femmocrat]

47. We are Slovak. Food of the gods!

Oh yes, I remember helping my mom make pierogies. I tried to make them once and it took all day! The frozen ones are a poor imitation of home-made.

My grandma even made home-made noodles for her soup. True, they probably had fresh chicken which was unlike what we buy at the supermarket.

Wonderful memories.

[forthemiddle]

50. Slovenian Potica too!

I was lucky enough to have cabbage rolls a few weeks ago, and it brought back memories from my childhood too!

My Grandparents were Slovenian and Luthuanian, so I grew up with that food. My husband still makes kolache a few times a year.

Drinks - Water. One gin and tonic. Coffee with dessert.

[bhikkhu]

39. A nice salad

I enjoy a good salad more than anything else. If I could have one meal that was a regular thing, it would definitely be a good salad - iceberg lettuce, a bit of carrot and cabbage, some fresh leafy greens, a few croutons and a sprinkling of grated cheese, then topped with a nice italian dressing. That's my dinner more often than not. This evening that was basically it, with a bit of baked chicken my daughter cooked shredded in. I'd also have a fitting wine with it, but I usually don't.

On the other hand, if I could have one meal as in "one last meal", I might go for a marinated tri-tip as an excellent local butcher here prepares, along with some steamed broccoli and rice, and a bit of soy sauce and sriracha to taste. And a nice red wine. That is one favorite meal but we only have it two or three times a year.

[Drahthaardogs]

52. I'd have Mexican - you can't get good Mexican in the UK

Since this is my fantasy, I'd get it all the way from California, too. California has the best Mexican food I've ever had.

Honestly though, I would murder you for anything with flour or sugar in it - I don't eat those any more. Only partially kidding about the murder.
