Open Thread: What's One Food You Wish You Liked?

Favorite Kitchen/Food Smell...

super hard to just choose one, but for me it is the comforting scent of toast.

British foods to bring to US friends?

Best bet is to stock up on British chocolates, toffee, and other candy :) Travels well and is superior to the chocolate and candy found in US supermarkets.

And you should probably introduce them to Mr. Kipling's exceedingly good cherry bakewells.

Serious Eats Neighborhood Guides: Erin's Boerum/Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens

Apartment 138 is amazing. wandered in one day looking for lunch.

Add Benchmark to the list. Beautiful outdoor area and hands down best brunch I have had.

The Food Lab Turbo: How To Make The Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I too butter and toast both sides of the bread, I always tell people that that is trick!

We Try Heart of Tea Bottled Teas

Pom does great bottled iced tea! I'll keep my eye out for this stuff to give it a try.

Banana bread - canola oil or butter?

I prefer butter. Through the creaming method I feel that it gives the bread an airier, softer, and lighter crumb; perfect for what I want in banana bread :)

Bread and Butter Pudding

bread and butter pudding was always one of my favourite desserts mom would make when I was growing up. She wasn't fancy enough to take the crusts off though:)

My brothers and I also always demanded she leave the raisins to one side because we didn't like them in there. I would also scatter extra sugar over the top when she wasn't looking :)

i'll take bread and butter pudding over bread pudding any day :)

Look who's talking feature

My proudest day was when I was funny enough to make the cut! :) ...it's the little things.

@ cyberroo, you beat me to the sticky toffee pudding recommendation :)

We Eat Every Arepa at Caracas Arepa Bar

For the most part I enjoyed my visit here. A really awesome environment and back patio for sure. Inventive cocktails and great hot sauce. But I agree that a number of the fillings were a bit bland, but my biggest gripe was how overwhelmingly greasy it all was, not to mention the price was a bit steep.

End of Year Lists

Is it just me or does anybody else get really annoyed by all the lists (ie. best of) that always come out at the end of every year?

They just feel like such a waste of time and it is just old news that I don't really feel like reading or seeing again...

Just a little peeve of mine :)
