Any food you could eat daily til' you kick the bucket?!
i have a dependency on fruit mentos (never mint!), and eat them on a daily basis, 3-4 times a day. I always have to have a roll of them on my bag, or else i get nervous.

Out of the Box: Dr. Oetker Ristorante Mozzarella Frozen Pizza
I live in the netherlands, and we have dr. oetker products dominating the fridge section. that said, i've tried one of these, and it tasted like ass! it was bland, oily, and the cheese tasted rubbery. i dunno. maybe they dont have quality control or something cause i could not imagine anyone trying this and saying it was okay, let alone delicious.
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
i love yakult! when i was a kid i use to freeze it, then cut off the plastic top part of it, to make it sorta like a popsicle! now i drink it every morning, to aid my digestion :D
French in a Flash: Citrus Oreillettes
as always, beautiful introduction to the recipe!
Omitting Soda Pop
basically i dont drink soda because i dont like the fizz. that's it. sometimes i would put a glass of coke in the fridge, and drink it the next day, when it's just a fizz-less sugary drink. i know it sounds disgusting but i get a craving for it once in every.....10 years maybe.

Video: Michael Jackson Organizes a Food Fight After Filming 'Black or White'
I love how you chose to make a tribute to MJ with this, instead of the predictable "greatest hits" videos other sites put up! :D
Eaters and eating disorders
I used to be anorexic, and oddly enough, those are the days where I developed such a passion for food. Maybe that's because I don't want to waste my calories on something mediocre, and would rather starve than eat something I thought I already know the taste, and would search for something new and out of the ordinary. I also baked a lot, and often spend hours on food and recipe blogs. After baking I would feel full, so I rarely eat what I made, prefering just to have a bite to make sure it tastes good. I have come to terms with my disorder though, and it made appreciating food so much easier! I would not worry so much about ordering in a restaurant, or when I am in a dinner party and would just enjoy whatever was served to me instead of constantly worrying and obsessing about how I can decline what was offered in a nice and unsuspicious way.
what is the first thing you grab?
a piece of bread with cheese, or cracker topped with butter and cheese. Or a big cookie!
Stroopwafels for Queen's Day
i am currently getting my masters in holland, and these are incredible! the fresh ones are especially awesome, i live in Leiden, and they have a market every saturday, and one stall sells the best fresh stroopwaffels, it's all crisp in the outside, and light and gooey in the inside...when you buy the store bought ones put one on top of your teacup for a few seconds, it'll warm em up and melt the caramel inside..delicious!

What is your "give up" meal?
@thecheapchick: I tried the fried ravioli thing! So good, thanks!
What is your "give up" meal?
i boil some water water, add broccoli, carrots & peppers (bought pre-cut from the supermarket), and add a packet of cup a soup, the eat it with bread.
Wait, that's not my give up meal, that's what I always eat. Can you tell I'm a student living alone?
What Do You Like to Read When Eating Solo?
I dont like eating alone at restaurants, but I actually enjoy eating by myself at home. But I ALWAYS have to read while eating, or else I cannot enjoy the meal. I read trashy chick-lit like the shopaholic series, or young adult mind-numbing series like gossip girl and the sweet valley twins....yes, stamp loser on my forehead please.
Am I the only one on the planet who dislikes ___, or loves ___?
love: tongue stew, fried chicken liver, bone marrow
hate: fresh tomatoes, ANY kind of condiments (mustard, mayo, chili & tomato sauce, etc...wont even have fries if it has touched said condiment). Oh and Peanut sauce. yech.
Jeeves, and the Art of Curing the Hangover
Usually I try not to sleep before I feel a bit sober (dance it off!), so I dont wake with a giant knot on my head (aka:hangovers). But if I do, a big tall glass of sweet ice tea, and depending on how bad the hangover is, Sour Sally frozen yoghurt (like Pinkberry's), or greasy fried rice usually works like a charm.
What's the weirdest thing in your fridge?
@izatryt-- I know exactly what u mean. My aunt who lives in my house would put a small bowl of it and the smell will stick to everything else in the fridge and it would drive me nuts! It's worse when she use this stinky Terasi thingy (fermented shrimp paste?) in it.
In Defense of Breakfast: A Morning Manifesto
Here's what I do for breakfast each day: Eat a spoonfull of nutella mixed with chunky peanut butter, dipped in a jar of chocolate sprinkles. Wait for a few minutes to let the sugar rush kick in. Ready to start the day.

Photo of the Day: What Is This?
strawberry filled potato??
What happened to my cupcakes?
hmmm..maybe the temperature in the kitchen was too hot, so the butter melts..or you beat the butter for too long. Did you use egg whites for the buttercream or not, because there are a few types of buttercream
Do you ever dream about food or cooking?
I had a dream I was a salad once, in a bowl. That was pretty weird.
Oh and a friend of mine once fell asleep sitting and I saw her suddenly leaning and doing this biting thing. When I woke her she said she dreamt she was taking a bite of a burger and somebody took it away and she look so sad!

Any food you could eat daily til' you kick the bucket?!
Shrimp, fried especially, but prepared almost anyway. Salmon, raw or cooked almost anyway. Tuna fish salad either in sandwiches or with Frito Scoops (I know). Sushi. Meatloaf or meatballs. Eggrolls. Gyoza. That's enough, it's like shopping on an empty stomach.
Any food you could eat daily til' you kick the bucket?!
Spinach. Period.
Any food you could eat daily til' you kick the bucket?!
Everyday (if there weren't financial or health concequences) I would eat:
> BigXtra: without ketchup, onion or tomato; extra bacon, mayo, seasoning and pickles
> Papa's Rouladen or goulash
> Maple syrup breakfast sausages; Johnsonville brand
> Spinach salad with hard-boiled eggs and a bacon-dripping/honey dressing with candied pecans and blue cheese
> A case of Moosehead® Lager
> Tuna Sashimi
> Home Fries with malt vinegar and coarse sea salt
> Cucumber dill salad
(pretty much like my "last bite on earth" in my hungrychristel profile :D )
@Golden: I find it so hard to picture Christian Bale in "American Psycho" without the mischief and murder!
Matter'o'fact: I cannot shake the creepy character ever when I watch his movies. Weird.
Any food you could eat daily til' you kick the bucket?!
I eat hot old-fashioned oatmeal with real maple syrup every day for breakfast and have done so for maybe the last 20 years. In the spring and summer we add fresh berries and/or peaches, and in the fall apples and pears with dried cranberries, apricots, prunes, or raisins. Otherwise frozen berries, cherries and peaches are just fine. Often we add with ground flax seeds, walnuts, and cinnamon too. Anytime I might have a little leftover fruit crisp, it goes right in my cereal the next morning. Sometimes other hot cereals (usu. steel cut oats, Bob's Red Mill or wheatena) make it into the rotation, but with the varieties of fruits and nuts, I have yet to ever get bored with this meal, which is rarely the same two days in a row. Cream of wheat was the first thing I ever learned to cook, so hot cereal for breakfast just seems right to me winter or summer.
Any food you could eat daily til' you kick the bucket?!
My foods are:
-strong tea with milk
-bread
-pasta
-cheese (even lactose intolerance hasn't stopped me here)
I love sushi and chocolate, but I definitely don't think I could eat them every day and not loose the specialness I associate with eating them. I savor chocolate, and let it melt in my mouth, a small bite at a time. As for sushi, I associate that with special occasions. Give me a well-made plate of sashimi, tuna rolls, and unagi over birthday cake any time.

I am surprised at the small number of people who said chocolate! I get all irritable and twitchy-like if I can't have my delicious, delicious chocolate. Other than that, definitely tea and sushi, and probably pasta.

Every single morning I have whole wheat toast with peanut butter, a glass of orange juice, and a cup of tea. The perfect breakfast. I have eaten this for 35 years (the tea for 20 years) and look forward to eating this for at least another 35.
I usually have a daily apple, and some cheese, as well.
Would You Eat This Lobster?
Look, what if lobster aged like Bordeaux? That it got tenderer and sweeter and more complex as it aged? There would be no sympathy for this guy because of age. None. At. All.
Instead the restaurant would get $500 or a grand, or more, for it. And the lobsterman would get 20-40% of that.
The question of egg capacity would simply mean that only large male lobsters could be harvested, making them even more desirable. And probably an underground market in females would also develop. Can you imagine what they might go for?
This is just the nature of humans, and thus, the nature of markets. So if they're tough and not as sweet, we can anthropomorphize all we want, because we really don't think it'll taste all that good.

Would You Eat This Lobster?
I used to work at a lobster house on Long Island during college, and we would get these gigantic archaic lobsters from our distributor all the time. The first couple of times it was a bit of a novelty, having a 70 year old lobster around, but after the 4th or 5th time, the cool factor wore off. Since it takes a lobster about 7 years to reach one pound, even if you eat a 3 pounder, you are dining on a crustacean that is 20 years old, or so.

About nindi_18
Location: leiden, the netherlands.
About: i would rather be hungry than eat food that doesn't excite me.
Favorite foods: the most unusual sounding on the menu. traditional indonesian sweets and desserts. anything with palm sugar. food prepared tapas style, small bites, and plates that can be shared :D
Last bite on earth: martabak manis, and indonesian dessert. filled with chocolate,cheese, peanuts, condensed milk, sesame and butter. saying that it's sorta like a square, super thick pancake would do it injustice.
i have a dependency on fruit mentos (never mint!), and eat them on a daily basis, 3-4 times a day. I always have to have a roll of them on my bag, or else i get nervous.
