Italian, Spanish, Greek... in that order.

Peach pie.....

or, a Cara Cara orange, sliced on a plate for the short time they are in season.

Cold, raw weather: A big bowl of minestrone.

Every other day of the year: Guacamole.... as a sandwich filling, as a dip, as a topping, deconstructed into a salad. I just LOVE it.

I guess this proves that anything can be rationalized as a good thing.

I still will not support this company in any way, shape, or form. But, that's just my opinion.

My favorite go-to late night restaurant... actually, my whole family's is my kitchen. Rarely do left-overs make it to the next day around here.

I can't say I went to Italy for the pizza, but it was the first thing I ate when I got there, and the only thing I ate almost every day while I was there.

Absolutely! -- The best food souvenier I ever got was when I was retiring and my friend had her son, who was traveling in Italy, send me an entire wheel of Parmesano Reggiano. He shipped it to arrive the very day I finished my job. And, it was exquisite!

Somewhere between 5:30 and 6pm.

It was a long time ago, but after being raved to by several of my closest friends, I just had to know what it tasted like.... The Blooming Onion. It was disgusting.

But, it was a life lesson of a sort. I learned that even if you have friends who are lovely and wonderful, it doesn't mean their judgement in the food they like to eat is necessarily as lovely or as wonderful as they are.

Bacon in or on everything.... Brownies, ice cream, frosting, chocolate, as a garnish... it's everywhere.

I can also do without the trend toward what I call "extreme offal". I'm all for using stuff up, but there really are some things where I think "does anyone really need to be eating that?" or "does anyone really enjoy the taste ot texture of THAT?" It's like a contest sometimes to see who will step up and eat the most AWFUL (pun intended) thing they can think of.

One last thing -- Kimchee. Cannot ABIDE even the thought of it, and these days it seems to be everywhere. (I got really sick on it the only time I ever ate it, and have never been able to stand even the word ever since, so my apologies to all the Kimchee lovers here.)

I said scrambled for the sake of the poll, but I also love a good frittata... loaded with veggies and cheese.

Every slice of cake I've eaten has been special in its own way. I used to love cake! I still remember it fondly.

None of the gluten-free recipes I've tried have ever compared, but that's life. And, there's still chocolate!

@CEBakes - I was wondering about that. It's too bad because it is so hard on my back and hips to plant and weed a garden these days. I was hoping I could get some decent results from a planter I could handle standing up.

Have any of you ever tried planting a garden in barrels? Or, maybe a raised bed on top of a platform? What do other Seniors here do?
