Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Actually Dark, I was refering to the little chocolate ones. I think Ive had the round ones before though.Id have to agree with you though, seafood is quite nice. Here at the seaside they do very good Sweet Corn. They even salt it for you. They dont give it to you in a box, its one of those that you unwrap and hold with both hands.I think what Brad was trying to say, and correct me if Im wrong Brad, is that so long as it is convenient for his parents, theyll just get whatever takeaway or cooked food they can buy, in spite of whether it is healthy or not.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Lol Nocturnus, I cant say Ive ever had the problem of having food and not being sure what I want. I havent tried dominoes lava cakes, but as I said earlier, Dominoes are far too processed for my liking. They used to do some awesome cookies, but they were from the firm millies cookies who always make good ones anyway, for lava cakes pappa jons do fairly nice ones, albeit I like the cookies rather more myself. Oddly enough ice cream is something I dont go nuts on, My brother loves ice cream of all flavours especially the speciality sort, but for me it is something I can take or leave, albeit sinse I do like propper chocolate it often falls into that category. Seafood yes! The buffet place I went to the other night had some amazing prawns, it also had fresh squid on the stir fry counter though as its very easy to bugger up squid I didnt try this. The best seafood Ive ever had was in greace, sinse there is nothi ng like calamari that was court that morning! We used to know an amazing firm whos claim to ffame was that they froze the fish at sea, so it was as fresh as you could imagine, even their bog standard battered cod was pretty amazing. Sadly, theyre not around anymore which is a shame.Fortunately there is a lot of good seafood around, the other day with my first class ticket on the train I had a very nice seabass with brockly and stir fried peppers which was lovely.@Crashmaster, I believe what thunderfist means by minnyroles here ar not bread roles, but the chocolate ones produced by mars. I think they fall under their milky way range. Theyre like a round wafer biscuit with sort of cream in the middle covered in very bad quality chocolate . I do like the wafers myself, but Id rather have one on its own or one with a decent coco cont ent chocolate. Those tunnucks dark chocolate caramel wafers are awesome!Actually hotel chocolate make some amazing %80 dark chocolate biscuites, theyre ridiculously expensive but theyre awesome! That being said, different sorts of breads can be nice, a good brioche can definitely work, I also love hot crossents. My mum an my brother go nuts for different breads, myself I only tend to care when either the bread is fresh, or is served hot. Then again, coconut loaf is just nice, albeit thats more like a cake than a bread. Ironically, whenever my mum was pissed off with something shed always bake bread, on the basis that it takes a lot of very serious pounding of the dough and is thus quite cathartic, indeed Ive baked bread myself in the past albeit I cant recall the recipe exactly, again its probably something Id have a bash at if I ever had more people to cook for than just me.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Oh man, this topic is bad for me, but when it comes to foods I just cannot resist myself. For those of you who have posted already, shame on you for torturing my poor stomach with pangs of hunger that werent previously there 10 minutes ago. :dThis topic never gets old though, and I mean never ever. We can talk about bacon eggs and sausage, or savory stews and soups all day long, and my only real preference that supercedes all other food types and what have you, is seafood. Take me to a place that offers fish and shrimp, or some fried Calamari, and youre as good as gold as far as Im concerned. Youll be my best friend, really!All that aside though, a nice bowl of soft sserved ice cream is something I wouldnt say no to, and I still loves me some pecan pie. Dominoss lavacakes are to die for, almost literally. They are so bad for you, but ever so good.Recently, Ive actually taken to ma king grocery lists when Im feeling that both terrible and beautiful gnawing sensation that tells me it be time to eat, because I know Ill remember to put more items on that list that I really want and will appreciate later. I know I know, probably sounds like a weird practice, but it is what it is. The real problem with either having tons of money or tons of food is that when you have it, youre not exactly sure what you want. When you dont have it, you want everything! lol URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=226174#p226174 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! @Brad, firstly, quick doesnt mean unhealthy, or at least not apart from takeaways. For example, tomorrow I shal be making a chilly in my slow cooker with a bunch of turkey mince and a jar of chilly sauce. Yes, if I mae the sauce it would be good, but honestly if you buy a decent cook in sauce its not a problem and sinse Im also chucking in some pre done onions and some kidney beans and having it with rice itll be a pretty healthy meal (especially with using turkey mince rather than beef).Its the same with ready done meals. One reason I go to marks is they do a lot of things that are very quick to do, but still are good quality and not always hyper unhealthy, for example they do a lot of pre prepared vedge and some great chicken breast fillits with interesting sauce you can just throw in the oven. Ill admit Im a fairly lazy cook, mostly because there is just me to cook for (if I was cooking for other people I& #039;d be more inclined to spen more time), but that doesnt mean I have to constantly live on bad quality microwwave meals or takeaways. I have however recently acquired a wok and am experimenting with stir fries, which are awesome! I dont usually like using the hob that much owing to the risk of burns etc, and confine myself to the oven, the microwave, my slow cooker and of course the good old george forman, however a wok isnt so bad owing to the size and there is nothing nicer or more healthy than a fresh stir fry.I also personally dont bother with the gym, I have a small home trampoline to run on and some hand weights, sinse the nearest gym is quite a wayss out, and besides going to a gym for a couple of hours would just get boring, where as 20 minutes of intensive work out most days is fairly easy and is over quickly. (I try to do it every day but if say Ive been awake most of the night its not as easy, still id say I definitely manage most and its good for my voice).

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Hi.to the poster that was talking about minni roles I agree with you.I do like for a treat dinner roles with butter.I like any aisian bred of any sort and ciabata, I think thats how its spelt.Some pronounce it chabata some say sheerbata it means the same thing.vocacha is nice some say vocacia some say vocachiea but whatever its nice.Both those types of bread can go dry and hard an chewy though.any sesame or cheese role is nice and any normal bred is nice.vogles is nice though I like thick toast bread as a rule.For a treat I like fruit bread but its hard to cook at times.Then there is your classic date loaf or banana loaf.I had my nanna make date for me many times.I brought banana loaf from the store but then got someone to make it for lunch and there is noting to compair with a freshly baked just out of the oven piping hot loaf.Lately while I do enjoy shoving my face with a doughnut or 2 or 5 I ha ve been over the last 4 or so years pushing that away due to weight and the like.I used to eat kfc every day just about in my teenaged years and when I did flatting for a year or so.I used to eat packets of biscuits, crackers and chips and all that sort of junk.I dont do that so much anymore though.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! @Thunderfist, I agree on rice pudding, home made rice pudding is wonderful, though Im not a big fan of the skin. As to cold rice, well generally speaking I prefer anything hot as opposed to cold, indeed rather like crashmaster there are lots of things I wouldnt do cold but are very nice hot. Thats not to say I wont grab a sandwich or whatever at some points, but Im not a big fan of say salads much as I do really enjoy properly cooked vegitables. Breakfast cerials generally are not a thing I like especially with milk on (the smell I find just disgusting), though ive enjoyed some well made cakes with them, the sandwich place where I quite often walk reever does the most amazing mars bar rice crispy cake .@Brad, the problem with the well its what you enjoy attitude is you do risk getting fat or other medical prob lems if you always eat stuff that is hyper fried or covered in sugar or what not. Luckily, while Im partial to a pizza or a chinese and I do like a cake occasionally, I also am a big fan of a lot of things that are fairly healthy such as stir fries, cooked vedge etc, and even if I do burgers or bacon I prefer to grill them rather than frying, and really I wouldnt want pizza every day anyway. Exercise also helps of course. Its just like epicurus said, a pleasure is only a pleasure if held in balance.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Hi.sure. I honestly dont eat that much unhealthy food. Yes I have a lot of take aways but Im trying to stop that. Its hard though, but Ive decided to order box deals, from a place called graze. Its a great place that does box healthy snacks. Cheese cashews anyone? Yes exercise does help but I need motivation to go to the gym and so on since I live with my parents I dont go out much. Im hoping to move out some time, and when I do Ill be eating a lot more healthy foods than I do now.They really dont care about healthy things, there view is, if its quick and easy who cares?Thats not what I think but its how theyve always lived so thats not going to change in the slightest.Things my grandparents buy include: mostly chicken in bread crums.curries,Stakes.< br />I do not really like that kind of food since its not home made and to me does not taste nice.Oh and sometimes well have fish.I love homemade food. For example, when I go to my friends house, (bashue on hear,) there food is amazing because its homemade. Homemade sauces are so nice. What I meant to say in my last post is; an unhealthy snack once in a while wont hurt, but yes lodes of unhealthy snacks in the end will harm the body. I hope that I can live a better life for myself once I move.Im going to keep this healthy snacking up and I know that will help me. In fact Im going to try my best to buy a lot more healthy things so that Im not tempted to by take away food.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! @Thunderfist, Id never defend mcdonalds or other fast food places and Im aware of all the issues, plus to be honest I disagree totally on food tastes nice, it tastes sweet, sugary and processed which is not the same at all, or at least it did last time I had one which was admitedly quite some time ago, even the fries. That being said, I think perhaps in Turkey you probably dont realize just how bad the kebab shops thing in England is. Frequently people end up in hospital ill because the meet used is either of very bad quality imported from somewhere random in europe, or has been badly stored or cooked leading to serious cases of food poisoning. There was recently a serious scandle involving horse meet being passed off as beef, and the two main culprits who picked up this meet were tescos supermarket making pre prepared ready meals, and various small kebab shops who used it in kebabs and pizza topings. And that isnt to speak of the extreme ly greasy frying practices such places often use.As I said nothing against kebabs generally, Im a Kofte fan myself, and like anything else a fine quality tirkish restaurant would do good stuf, but unfortunately in England, particularly in inner cities there is this rash of so called kebab shops, whos stuff is very, very dubious indeed. Whether worse or better than mcdonalds I dont know, frankly I wouldnt touch either with a barge pole as the saying goes .

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! A few years ago, my parents and I went to a large and extremely fine quality hotel, I was doing a major singing engagement for a charity at a sculpture auction. The food was amazingly good, although I personally didnt notice much owing to how nurvous I was, however they had the most amazing lasagna.Sinse then, my mum has experimented with lasagna recipes and has come up with one which is amazing, involving worcester sauce, paprica and two sorts of cheese, she even adapted a vegitarian version with lentles and beans instead of minced beef, which was equally awesome! So, Im very picky about lasagna. I know places that do good ones, but its rare, and even though Marks and Spensors does pretty reasonable microwave pastsa (I like their tuscan penne), I find their lasagna very bland indeed and dont bother with it, much less other supermarkets. I think lasagna is one of these things that many people cook, but not many people cook right . Ive had cold pizza on buffets and things occasionally, but not liking to keep takeaway pizza around and either reheat it or have it cold is just sort of a preference thing with me, and as I said is likely pretty irrational. @Crashmaster, no idea on the convertion from newzeeland dollars to pounds, so no idea how much 40-60 Newzeeland dollars is. Personally if I go out for a meal, especially with friends I always treat it as a special occasion and within reason dont mind spending on it, indeed much as my mum is a great cook, its difficult to take her anywhere sinse she still believes prices for food are what they should be twenty years ago so will always go to places that are cheaper rather than average to good quality places with what are these days average prices. Indeed were just about to head off to a buffet restaurant who have a 15 pound all you can eat an bits of everything, from chinese to pizza to roast dinner. Not actually gross the way some of those sorts of buffet places are, but my brother described it very much as student food, ie, good for a random gnosh but not really a dress up and sit down to propper restaurant meal of the sort Id usually expect if actually going out for dinner rather than just grabbing lunch or fast food or what not.Personally as I said, I dont mind spending if Im out for a really propper restaurant meal, especially if Im there with my brother or a friend, and for a three course meal wouldnt mind going up to about £40 or so, (provided it is a good one). @Thunderfist, Ill need to find a tirkish restaurant I think. Ive always been suspicious of kebabs, mostly because as I said there is a class of very cheap kebab places that also do pizza and chips an tend to market universally almost to very drunk people with terrible, terrible quality! my parents used to have an amazingly nice kebab place that used actual meat but sadly changed ownership. So, Id like to get the thing done propperly by a good Tirkish chef sinse its something that is always messed up, a little like getting a propper Italian to cook you pizza or pasta in the traditional way, which Ive also tried a couple of times and was amazing!

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Thomas, thanks for the spelling of lasagna.Dark, in my opinion, there are far worse foods than badly cooked kebab. Macdonalds is a prime example. The food there tastes nice but is very bad for the body. This has been scientificly proven; it takes 6 months for macdonalds chips to decay. Which is very bad for the body because youve got chemicals just floating round inside.Best regards,Thunderiist.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Hi thunderfist.Ok, Ok, I really need to but in here.Now dont get me wrong I can handle roast meat hot or cold, potatoe and other roast vege, pasta including lasagna, even the odd pizza or eggplant slice, but there are some foods which dont taste right cold.rice is probably one of them unless its brown rice in a salad with nuts, raizens, and coconut Ill eat that.I know some have cold rice puding but I cant even stand warm rice puding.Cold custard I can stand especially if its in a slice, pie or over my fruit and oats but I cant stand cold rice just like I cant stand cold chinese pork buns.There are just sertain foods that I couldnt stand cold ug!Saying that at school I did a studdy on germany and aparently their breakfast and dinner are cold while their lunch is hot and the only thing changed between breakfast and dinner is the meats used.I have always eaten hot food I for example couldn t dream of eating baked beans cold, but I could eat cold salmon or tuna or sardeen in a bred role with salad and mayo.I have never had a cold soup or rice dish though that I liked or didnt want to throw up while eating bar brown rice and I hardly get that.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! @Dark, your explanation does make sense. Although, I cant help but find it a bit irrational from my point of view. I certainly dont mind warming up left over pizza and have even eaten it cold on occasion. Obviously, since I dont find it gross I dont mind buying more pizza than I need for a single meal so I can pop half in the fridge for the next day. That way Ill have some for lunch or dinner. Ive even eaten left over pizza for breakfast when the mood strikes. That said, I know plenty of people who do not like left over pizza or whatever because it doesnt taste as good warmed up. That is a legitimate complaint. Ill admit a lot of things like pizza just doesnt taste as good reheated in the microwave, and if I were a more picky eater Id probably complain too. However, I am not usually very picky and am okay with t he way pizza tastes reheated, cold, etc so eat it without complaint.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Hi.[[wow]], a topic on the thing I like a lot.I have seen this but never had a chance to comment on it till now.Obviously chocolate especially dark organic lindt or donovins I think.Chilly, ginger, milk dark, coconut, rum, wine and anything unusual.Ofcause I hardly buy chocolate never less that type organic dark especially at 80%-95% is not the cheapest thing to get especially organic dark ginger in a bag and they are so small.Cake of all types all countries for the most part is ok.Since we are talking international food since my ansestral home is indonesia and since my mum and aunt and grand parents and a couple uncles come from there.Gado, gado, which is a salad but with egg, fried onions and peanut sauce as well as potatoes beansprouts and carrots is quite good.umping, kindar, croopook which are like chips here I guess.tofu, which again can be eaten as wet, dry, fried with abc which is sweet sause or in chip form.<br / >We have our own chocolate and a fruite called durian roughly translated to custard fruit.It has been known to give those that eat to much of it a totalled stomach for a couple nights.pundun is a light cake of a sort which is steamed and is like chocolate there are also cakes made of rice.sesame balls with red bean in and several other things like that.Japanese sushi is good though from friends the real japanese non europian sushi is more fishy than we are used to over here in new zealand.I like japanese stuff turkish stuff and things like fried squid legs if its done right.Coreon food shops exist here and since its close enough to indonesian/ aisian food with things like chocolate sticks and stuff I do eat it.I like most fruit porpor, mango, banana maderin, grape and some unusual fruits I can not spell.munkeyson something like our manderan orange here.salac something like an apple but taste like persimon ish.chilly, meat o f all sorts ofcause especially steak, salmon, standard fish and chips and the like.Dark you may be interested to know that the english have invaded my country, many shops.So I like things like jaffa cakes, bornville chocolate and fudge wallnut whips, and those crazy roast pork, bacon and other type of english chips and drinks.Being from indonesia I also like a selection of teas and other things like that.Indonesian coffee is not something I actually like but there is a lot of coconut based jelly drinks and desserts.In singapoor which I visited there is a thing called hinan chicken and rice which is chicken and rice in sesame oil and then several sauces to dip in.So many things to be honest.We have dried meats for putting on toast and a lot of sate you would call it scuers on sticks.Spring roles both normal and fresh and noodles rice and egg ofcause.I have also tried tie food, my favorites are the pad tie, penang, musimon and red currys.Anything unusual unless its something like salted licerish or something bad but yeah that is me.The food invasion was not a big deal but 20 years back shops started coming and in the last 5 years there are loads of them.Last year a english shop came close to where I live and a shop called wang mart which has almost everything a guy would want and then some.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Get up at 4 5 or 6? in Britain at least that is wwaaay too early and would probably cause you to drop out later. I dont know about countries that have a siesta in the mid afternoon.Likewise I wouldnt personally fancy chocolate spread for breakfast, indeed most chocolate spread has usually been over sweet for me, and even when ive found one I like I prefer it on pancakes or brioche for a dessert rather than just on bread. Now, with chocolate I can talk with a little authority. Most commercial chocolate is usually very low in coco, were talking about 4-7 percent. This is a shame sinse coco itself is extremely good for you, and the rest is padded out with lots of crap such as gelatine and extra sugar, indeed propper chocolate shouldnt! be too sweet. Coco is a very bennificial substance, its good for your brain, it acts as an anti depressant, and it reduces cholesterol, however the major problem is as I said, mos t usual chocolate contains so little. Even a decent milk chocolate can be 40 or 50 percent coco, though they tend to be sweeter and contain more cream, however a really good, decentquality dark chocolate should be around the 70 or 80 percent mark. its not to everyones taste sinse it isnt sweet, but for pure coco its the best thing and far better for you, and provided you get from a good make such as hotel chocolate or green and blacks coco, you wont find it too rough, (lint, for all their advertising are waay too gritty and usually end up unpleasant). I have stayed in some places that had awesome breakfasts, like of course the full english, bacon, sausage, eggs, (I prefer scrambled myself but other people prefer fried or poached), hash browns (which are crisped potatoes), mushrooms, tomatoes (though Im not keen on tomatoes), or beans, plus toast and sometimes other things. I am also very fond of smoaked salmon and scra mbled eggs for breakfast, though I rarely get that, as smoked salmon tends to be a bit pricy and so I only have it on rare occasions or when staying somewhere good.Of course, if you have a breakfast like that, you rarely need much for lunch, though i can say its pretty awesome if your out all day being very active, I definitely appreciated such when I was on my vocal studdies course (sinse you wouldnt believe how hard days of singing are).

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Get up at 4 5 or 6? in Britain at least that is wwaaay too early and would probably cause you to drop out later. I dont know about countries that have a siesta in the mid afternoon.Likewise I wouldnt personally fancy chocolate spread for breakfast, indeed most chocolate spread has usually been over sweet for me, and even when ive found one I like I prefer it on pancakes or brioche for a dessert rather than just on bread. Now, with chocolate I can talk with a little authority. Most commercial chocolate is usually very low in coco, were talking about 4-7 percent. This is a shame sinse coco itself is extremely good for you, and the rest is padded out with lots of crap such as gelatine and extra sugar, indeed propper chocolate shouldnt! be too sweet. Coco is a very bennificial substance, its good for your brain, it acts as an anti depressant, and it reduces cholesterol, however the major problem is as I said, mos t usual chocolate contains so little. Even a decent milk chocolate can be 40 or 50 percent coco, though they tend to be sweeter and contain more cream, however a really good, decentquality dark chocolate should be around the 70 or 80 percent mark. its not to everyones taste sinse it isnt sweet, but for pure coco its the best thing and far better for you, and provided you get from a good make such as hotel chocolate or green and blacks coco, you wont find it too rough, (lint, for all their advertising are waay too gritty and usually end up unpleasant).

Personally if I am going to have something from another culinary tradition, I prefer having it as appropriately as possible, including the same levels of spice people from that tradition would have, it might not appeal to me, but Id much rather try it done properly, indeed I rememb er a lovely recent experience where some very nice tirkish gentlemen treated me to a coffee made in the traditional method, which was awesome! Similarly, I have tried deep frie chicken feet, at a very good local chinese, I cant say I cared for those, but I was willing to give them a try.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! I can understand you feel disappointed when people do that. To be honest Dark, hunny is better than chocolate. It is healthier and actually makes your hunger disappear. Plus, you can have hunny in a container for a year and it wouldnt go off. This has been scientificly proven. Also, certain types of hunny can cure certain types of illnusses. I have a very bad sore throat and would have gotten some hunny, but they dont cell it here. And even if they do,, it would probably be too expensive so my family wouldnt get it. Another good food you can have is those yoghurt bar thingies. If you really feel out of commition, those should be good for you. Anyway, off to start a new thread.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Sinse propper chocolate does not contain much sugar, its just the mass produced commercial variety that causes the issue, saying honey is better than chocolate makes no sense to me, thats like saying jam is better than cabbage the two things are so incomparable that you cant really judge. of course if your talking sugar content, then honey will always be an improvement, indeed I often take a spoon full of honey myself just for my throat (especially menooka honey), but as I said, dont confuse chocolate with sugar.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! As far as food goes Im a typical American. By that I mean I am a junk food junky. I love hamburgers, chili dogs, chicken filet sandwiches, pizza, you name it I probably love it. Of course, it is all not good for me from a health perspective, but Im of the sneaking suspicion if it is good for you it probably doesnt taste that good either. LOL.Actually, I can and do eat fruits, and vegetables, etc too and like them well enough. However, if I have my own way Ill grab a nice cheese burger with all the works before Ill grab an apple, orange, or anything else that is probably a healthier choice. Although, that is changing as I get older and have to made more health conscious decisions about what I eat and drink on a regular basis.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Hi Dark,thats understandable, I suppose. Westerners arnt generally as hard as us Easterners when it comes to eating very hard food. Im like that too, I would never eat anything with pepper unless the taste isnt in there. And if the kofte was disappointing, it shouldnt have been. I erge you to look in England if you ever have the chance, and you should be able to find a good one. And disorganised breakfast habbits? Id do this but I thinkk my old man would bale me out since I dont know where the layout of the kitchen very well. Basicly, get up at 4, 5, or 6. If youre the kind that likes to sleep, get up at 6. Fetch some fruit to eat. A good breakfast is one that is little but energises you. See, rather than having four sandwitches, you can have 1 chese, 1 chocolate spread, and eat some fruit, and youll be buzzing. Additionally, cirial can help as well. Dates have been proven to be rather energising actually. If you feel ve ry exhausted, either eat some dates or chocolate after breakfsst. Two days ago, I had two chocolates - I dont know what they are. They tasted nice and energised my exhausted brain.

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! @Thunderfist, interesting, a lot of things Ive not heard of though will bare it in mind if I come across a good tirkish place, albeit you did make me laugh when you talked about durrum in saudi, sinse Durham, up in north England is where I live myself and last I checked there wasnt a huge speciality community of middle eastern chefs up here . , . I can agree on fresh ingredients, especially rice actually sinse it changes drastically, the generic white dried stuff thats sold in mass produced packets over here isnt good, but a lot of places sell more speciality stuff, albeit Ill freely admit that sinse I live alone and dont cook for anyone but myself my cooking habbits are a wee bit lazy, stir fry or a curry is about the most elaborate thing Ill do. I believe I had the spicy rolls your talking about in Egypt, though unfortunately I think they took down the spice level for us weedy westerners . I was certainly disappointed at the kofta, (which Im probably horribly miss spelling), that is similar to a sausage but made of spiced meet, usually lamb I think, I know a chap who can make them properly and they take your head off, in egypt I think they skimped on the peppers . Actually Thunderfist, if youve only been to London, you might have missed on the fresh stuff that is available elsewhere, particularly local butchers. My local butcher near to where my parents are is a perfect example, he cooks and cures all his own meets and when he makes a steak pie, it has huge chunks of beef! not just the mass produced rubbish, indeed a lot of British farmers regularly co mplain about such (a chap I went to school with was the son of a pork farmer and hed always tell anyone at length about how much he disliked the european trading regulations that basically meant battery farms in countries where regulations were less strict about things like feeding pigs on random chemicals and keeping them in tiny cages were under cutting prices of British farmers, sinse such things are illegal over here).As for me, I like many things, from propper steak, to a good roast, to a decent restaurant, generally anything cooked properly, although Im much more a fan of actually hot, cooked stuff rather than cold salads, (its a personal thing). @Brad, that doesnt sound good, personally I dont bother with a gym sinse the nearest one to me is quite a ways, i just run each day for about 15 minutes, although I always tell people Im an operatic tenor so I am allowed to be a fat geezer, and eat lots of pasta! .Seriously I do actually try to exercise, especially because of my singing. @Datajake, Ive had some pretty crazy meels at weerd times, especially when my sleep pattern decides to go bye bye, Ive been known to cook a full meal at midnight or the like. aCtually there is a friend of mine who turns up, hits my kitchin like a bomb but always tries out random recipes on me for all sorts of things from venison stew with port, to beef wellington and even chilly. The problem is because he has the organization of a flee, our evenings usually involve him turning up at about 5 pm, the starter appearing at about 7, with perhaps some cheese and wine or similar at about 8-30. The main course he usually tries to plan to get cooked for 10, however it always ends up taking longer and has been known to turn up as late as half past one! we usually then sit around, listening to doctor who au dios or just chatting and drinking port before coffee and some form of desert which can be any time between 2 and 4, with perhaps more coffee at 5. Yes, my friend is a bit mad! When I went to watch the 3rd hobbit film with him at christmas, he produced a bottle of port, plus two actual wine glasses, and some bomaw wisky and a box of god knows how expensive chocolates!Then again my concepts of breakfast are a little shaky anyway, mostly I have just a smoothy and some coffee and a banana, and some days just coffee, then I head to my nice sandwich place for brunch at around 10 Am and get myself an awesome toasty and one of their amazing cakes, usually withsome fresh juice, well Reever needs at least a 40 minute walk and if that walk goes past the award winning sandwich place that was voted best in the northeast of England two years running, well thats not my! fault .

Re: all about food!
Re: all about food! Hi,Very nice topic indeed. My favourite foods are:1. Rice. Tastes absolutely beautiful, especially when Mum cooks it. The best in Urfa is Firik Pilav. My Father and Mother can both make it.2. Meet. Especially when its fried. Roasted chicken is also one of the best foods you could get. Tawuk Sote is also good. Someone Turkish please translate that into English for me.3. Lahmajun. I cant remember the recipe so if anyone knows, please forward it to the discussion. Basicly you wrap up meet and salad into a role. The slices are really small. They can be very spicey, or they are not/. Spicey ones are good because they are healthy for your body. Essencially, they make your blood less sugary, reducing the risk of misketos attacking you in the night. It might burn you but trust me my friend youll feel strong. Just make sure not to get a too spicey one otherwise you might cry. And thats not an insult, that is actually true. Once we boug ht food in Turkey and it was so peppery that my Brother was crying because it hurts a lot! 3. Adana. Another turkish food. I actually dont know how to describe it but you should deffenitly try it out. Its this long meety thing. If you go to Durrum - not Durham in Saudi, by the way, then you can buy it.4. We call it arap tawasi in Turkish. I really dont know how to describe it. In english it translates to arab dish, but I dont think its actually from Arabs. If you go to a Turkish restaurant just ask and youll love it.Chocolate cake is also nice. Kunefe ttatli is also good. If you do vacation in Urfa, youll taste it. See thing in England is when you get turkish sweets like Baklava, its cold. However in Turkey youll first get it nice and hot. They love to add a lot of sugar in Urffa though compared to England so do eat sparingly! Seriously, the stuff here will energise you if you feel out of comition. Persona lly, I think the way food produced in Turkey is much better than the food in England, ffor example if you live in rural areas. For example, they make Lahmajun in London, and its good, but the quality is knowhere the level of Birecik Lahmajun, because we produce organicly. Im not saying in England there isnt organic food but in rural areas it is very easy to come by and in places like Istanbul it is very hard.Best regards,Thunderfist.
