@BigD I want to marry you!

Cannot reconcile desire to eat burger with...desire to avoid heart attacks...

I love the sound of ice tinkering in a glass, the sound sauce makes as you pour it over a hot stir fry, and the perfect sound of a really sharp knife chopping vegetables on an old wooden chopping block.

I agree with Livingtoeat: The soft bubbling of a pasta sauce that's been simmering all day.

As Julia put it, the "quiet cooking noises" of a roasting chicken. Also, the squeaky mushrooms in the skillet, as L'Ecole mentioned. And the gurgle and hiss of the coffee maker when the coffee's just about done.

not a cooking sound but the first crunchy bite of a crispy apple... and anything in the kitchenaid b/c anything im making in there is going to be good.

i like the sound of pizza being sliced.

It's not necessarily an exclusive sound in the kitchen, but the gentle *glug glug glug* sound of the first pour from a bottle of wine.

That crackling noise bread makes as it goes from the heat of the oven to the air on the cooling rack. The first time I heard it, I thought it was a fan blowing on some paper.

I'm also fond of that non-sound of the plunger going to the bottom of the press pot.

I'm with Jason Perlow and his "big 'ol cast iron pan."

ANYTHING frying in my cast iron skillets (from the monster to the ribbed steak skillet to the small egg skillet) usually results in fond culinary memories.

I don't do offal, with the exception of livers, of all things. Also, no bugs and just the thought of the maggot cheese mentioned above makes me gag. (*Turns head and takes a couple of deep breaths*)

In the veggie category I won't eat radishes, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, okra, and canned green beans. I don't do very well with slimy things and I really hate morrells.

I'm an Indonesian, so I've eaten most things you guys stayed away from (intestines, brain, tongue etc.). I love beef tripe and lungs, but I hate the intestines. It's kind of strange since I dont really care for the meat. I just have a taste toward the extraordinary i spose. I do not like brain. period. I used to love tongue stew but the love is gone now.

However, I never tried genitals. Probably I would never, although if life has taught me one thing, it's never say never. Apart from that, I would never eat pet animals, you know cat, dogs, RABBITS.. Goldfish, though...

I second the list of fast food establishments by DaveFaris above.

I eat most anything (insects, organs, etc) as long as it's fresh or prepared well, with the exception of the sadly long list of animals that are endangered - pandas, tigers, elephants, snow leopards, bears, etc. Those I would have to refuse.
