I went to Zaytinya and it was great! I am soooo happy they ran out of mussels because I got the best calamari ever subbed in instead.
Berger Cookies
I would reccomend ordering them, or making a special trip to buy some. They used to only be for sale in Highs dairy stores or from Bergers themselves.
popsicles, drumsticks, and ice cream sandwiches... oh my!
Snoball! Or maybe a getati from Rita's, but I tend to go for icy when its really hot outside. I am also a big fan of the Drumstick when picking Icecream.

I have a passionate hatred of bananas, in any form or even tiny bit of the flavor. The smell even makes me nauseous. GROSS. Its not a texture thing for me I eat plenty of wierd stuff but bananas make me gag. I am also not a fan of rasins. So two of the childhood go-to healthy snacks were out of the question for me.
Not a big fan of excessive mayo/sour cream that sort of thing and I can't eat yogurt from one of those diet fruity things. I love yogurt in savory things and enjoy frozen yogurt, but not the sweet refigerated kind yech!
I have issues with overcooked veggies and actually prefer many raw, but I am usually willing to try them. I'm still not a fan of cooked peas or lima beans, but I love to eat raw peas from the garden. Also not a big fan of the sweet+meat idea, maple bacon?- not so much. I also dont like pineaple and ham, but I can usually pick around it. I still try that kind of stuff, its just not my thing.
Other than these few things I am a quite adventerous eater and will try pretty much anything, as long as there are no bananas involved.

Millers Market. My friends dad does the sausage and it is amazing. I can also get the chicken corn chowder that is usually only avaliable at the Firehall during carnival season, or when someones Grandma makes it. YUM!
Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine
Apple Dumplings, Corn Chowder, Sausage, Whoopie Pies, Pretzels, and Shoo-fly pie. I am from not too far from there and the baked goods are always amazing at Amish Markets. The corn chowder is a personal favorite, but in general you are in for a lot of delicious comfort foods.
Cook the Book: Serves One
As someone who just got a 1st apartment I cook for one a lot. I tend to throw a bunch of veggies into a pan and make some sort of stir fry. I put it over rice, bulghur, noodles, pasta, or whatever else is around. The sauce varies, but this is the basic formula. Tonight it's pesto and zuchinni over some bulghur.
Fennel?
Hoooray Fennel!
My favorite way to eat it is in a salad. Slice it thin, mix with some thin sliced onion. For the dressing Lemon juice, salt, crushed garlic and olive oil. Mix and taste until it seems right to you. This is a really simple way to eat it. I've added cheese, cucumbers, radishes, and other things but the basic recipie is great.
You could also roast it or put it into a tomato based stew.

I couldn't stop laughing when the "nose" banana exploded. Very absurd.

Here's a review of Equinox: http://mangotomato.blogspot.com/2008/08/restaurant-week-equinox.html
Just went there last night for dinner: could have been a lot better.
PB&J or Grilled Cheese?
Is this a food question impossible? Sorry I have to have both avail. when I have a certain craving, I love both too much.
Berger Cookies
Yeah--you really have to have the original. It's so much chocolate fudge frosting it's almost nauseating (in a good way). They aren't really my thing, but I respect the original. I do find (gasp!) the cookie part to be kind of dry and boring, but the frosting is tops.
Linz0--wondering if you are in Baltimore as well?--Linzs are almost as plentiful in Bawlmer as Berger cookies...you're welcome to e-mail me privately...
Your food dislikes -- items or categories or methods or recipes?
Jello? okay BUT......as vodka shooters!!!! I like poultry and pork only (except at times ham if it is too salty). My dislikes are red meat (I don't know why), organ meats, and anything gamey, but love blood sausage, headcheese, pepperoni, smoked sausage bolona, thuringer ect. Dislike all fish (except smoked salmon I like). I dislike oysters (except smoked in stuffing or once in awhile on pizza), clams and mussels. But I like scallops, shrimp, crab and lobster. I love all sorts of salsas (heat rules) but dislike the sharpness in horseradish sauce or wasabi. I dislike any raw tomatos, but love tomatos IF cooked. As for pastry I dislike bearclaws and fruitcake. Dairy I pretty much love everything. Fruits (except tomatos) I like everything. Veggies love all. Love all breads. Legumes, pastas and rice I like in small doses. As far as a certain country fare, nope I like it all, but my favorite would have to be Mexican with Vietnamese or Indian close behind. Least favorite, any country where the majority of their dishes are bland. Let you leave that up to y'all's imagination lol.
