Best and Worst Foods

[LongTermGuy]

I appreciate your joke. The items I enumerated theses are the national cuisine of the counties I happened to visit.

......you still up Balu?........it is late in my neck of the woods.....understood... what you said above...I have done some traveling also...

[Abbey Marie]

I am not including Balu's list as I consider them inedible.

Best:
Broiled Scallops
Whole-belly clams
Corn on the cob
(essentially, a "shore dinner")

Worst:
Sloppy Joes (the WORST food EVER created on the planet. Guaranteed to make me gag just from the smell

Cole Slaw
Okra

[Max R.]

Best Entrees: lobster, shrimp, grouper, perch, sole, beef tenderloin, turkey, duck

Sides: nearly any veggie that can be roasted, especially love onions, peppers, spinach, and tomatoes. Love any type of potato.

Worst: hot dogs, any 'lunch meat' that isn't roast beef, roast turkey, or ham.

Ugh, agreed. Not a fan of "lunch meat" like bologna, but do like meat slices like you mentioned.

I forgot Scallops, I love them broiled or seared in pan. Mmmmm

My ex and I (before she was an ex) went to Club Med Turks & Caicos Islands (the second week of September 2001, if that means anything to anyone). Club Med is an all inclusive resort where all the meals are covered. Since it was the islands, the selection of seafood was the most amazing I'd ever seen and I pigged out to the max on grouper, crap, shrimp, scallops and whatever else was on the table. That said, I couldn't believe the number of people lined up for hamburgers and chicken! Their choice. That just left more seafood for me.

We need to do dinner sometime!

In Louisiana? Do you like Cajun? Or in Maine?

Wouldn't make a difference, I like just about any seafood. LA is a bit closer, still a ways. LOL!

Tried this one at home - comes out awesome.

Most any seafood is a treat for me. Good ribeye steak is also a favorite. Really don't have too many dislikes. My upbringing was all about kids eating what was served or you didn't eat. I don't find brussels sprouts too palatable. Oddly I like desserts but don't like two big favorites at work. All my coworkers seem to love red velvet cake and cheesecake and I really don't like them.

[Voted4Reagan]

The Best - Rib-Eye or NY Strip Steak, A good Chimichanga or.... the SWINGBELLY Challenge.

Try coleslaw with chips. It may not be a combination many would think of .. but they go together surprisingly well. Add garlic for extra bite !

[Jeff]

Best- it's a tie between Seafood ( of any kind really) and Italian ( also about any will do )


Worst - Ragu or Hamburger Helper, either will get the plate thrown across the room .

Lol, so many people tell me, "Oh, but you haven't had THIS cole slaw", or "You haven't had MY homemade cole slaw.

I don't want ANY cole slaw. If it combines cabbage and mayo, I detest it in all its forms and versions.

Not to mention how it often leaks onto the other foods on your plate. Disgusting.

To each their own, Abbey. Still, long-established British wisdom on the subject has it that ANYTHING goes with chips ... especially if you eat it all from newspaper-wrappings ...
