Or soup, salad, any ethnic foods, fish, clams, mussels, oysters, shrimp, prawns, lobster, crawdads, seaweed, squid, octopus, or abalone. I'm betting the guy just sits down and eats a sack of flour for each meal.

some stuff isnt as common as others. i live on a river, near the NC coast, so we get seafood...but not really mussels, squid or octopus (you could get some at some chinese buffets, i guess) but pasta is one of those things that is everywhere.

i really want some seafood right now

hurry it up and get yourself out there!

some of the greatest culinary pleasures in life are acquired tastes:

beer
kimchi
foie gras
oysters
sea urchin
fine cheese

I believe it.
I have a friend who's tried 2 restaurants and declares them the best restaurants in the world. - one of them is Hometown Buffet.
He basically subscribes to the same philosophy as the OP, better boring than bad..
He's ridiculously rigid, routine, and needs his sense of security.

Mmmm, pancakes with sausage.
And french toast....there's something I haven't had in awhile.

Homemade, or store bought?
I'm too lazy to cook most things that require standing, mostly idle and bored senseless, at the stove for a long time, and too cheap/poor to afford constantly buying frozen french toast/pancakes at the store.
And I don't know how to make french toast either, though I'm sure Google could enlighten me.

Buffalo wings: Something I've never had. But then, the smell of them is rather telling, as is the description of what's in them. If they've got much in them in the way of spicy things, I don't care for them. Give you an idea of tolerance for that, Heinz 57 can make me sweat a little from the hotness.
I've once (stupidly) sampled jalapenos - jesus that was unbearable. Might as well disturb a nest of hornets and put my mouth over the nest's entrance hole.

But that much "variety" sounds about like what I'll eat. This week, I've got pasta shells in a mixture of Traditional Ragu and store-brand marinara sauce. It's kind of fallen out of favor, partly because the marinara sauce has garlic in it. So it stinks of the sulfur, and leaves an aftertaste for a few hours. I also ate this a lot back when I lived on campus, so I've come to associate the taste with rather unpleasant times.
That macaroni and cheese recipe is something I could probably eat indefinitely, though I might die of a heart attack within 2 months if I eat nothing but that. it sure is tasty though, and it's reasonably calorie-dense, so I don't have to be bothered to eat as often.

I don't know how you guys can do it. I can hardly stand to have something twice in a week, let alone everyday. ugggg. I tend to cook things that are all over the place. There are very few things that I won't try... one being Sea Cucumber. BLGAHHHH

My dislike for repetitiveness of food is probably the same one that effects many things. I cannot play world of warcraft... I go nuts.

Wow, I think I've tried everything mentioned on this thread & then some.

I'll also add that I have tried porcupine, sea turtle, bilot (duck still in the egg), dog, durian, rattlesnake & stinky tofu.


I'm Vietnamese btw. Thanks.

Variety is the spice of life. I love trying out new cuisines and always going to new restaurants.

What happens when you go to a restaurant and when you order an entree they ask if you would like a soup or salad?

Homemade. It's quite tasty.

Also, anyone who thinks this is shens: I can give you the s/n's of two of my close friends who are on these forums that can confirm that what I'm saying is 100% true. You may not take their word for it, but why would I lie about something like this?

I guess I'll have to try making french toast sometime; I don't suppose you might have a recipe handy, RedArmy? Your tastes sound like they might be fairly compatible with mine.

My mom always liked to add all kinds of different spices and flavorings to everything she made. She also liked to bring home various foods from around the world
Everyone else liked what she provided or made; I thought most of it tasted godawful. Hell, I can't even eat a cherry tomato without gagging - I tried it once,
and I couldn't even finish just the one before feeling the stomach acid trying to work its way back up my esophagus.

It wasn't until maybe age 15-16 when the constant battles over "Just eat it, it's good" ceased, when she finally perhaps realized that I really don't like the taste of damn near everything in existence.

My God... never had pasta, soup or rice? Some of the best dishes ever have pasta as the base. OP, why not be a little more adventurous? Eating good and exciting food is, IMO, the greatest pleasure in life.

......
If food was the best thing in life, damn, I'd off myself right now.

Still no "meal pills" a la 2001: Space Odyssey, dammit.



Tastes differ though. For some people, food is apparently nearly euphoric, and is cause for all kinds of fuss over perfect preparation and consumption.
For me, it's an annoying interruption. I don't relish filling up my car's gas tank, nor do I elaborately prepare the tank for the operation. Food is pretty much just another fuel source, though it at least gets a little more fanfare and attention to detail, but certainly not a vast amount.

I'd like to know what the OP eats, meat and potatoes every day? And I find it messed-up beyond belief, he grew up never trying any of these foods or having any desire to try any of them.

Dude, OP is obviously full of shit. It would be virtually impossible to grow up in the western world without eating salad or soup.

I dislike cheese. All cheese. I can eat it without a gag reflex, just don't like the taste. Kinda turns me off from Italian food, and I'm not exactly a pasta person. Other than that, I eat everything on your list, and I'm a seafood fanatic.

escargot is actually pretty good, but it helps not to look at it.

Caviar I have to admit I just don't understand what the big deal is. It's alright, I guess, but there are lots of different seafood type things I like better.

So you don't want to go to Moe's with me? I'm hungry. Or maybe some chinese. There is this seedy little place in Endwell that was pretty good last time I went there.
