[HouseofWool]

OOOOOOH, I love me some food!

What is your favorite fruit? - hands down, pineapple. I flove pineapple. I particularly flove pineapple that has ripened on the plant and the core is tender and juicy and just as tasty as the main part of the fruit.

What is your favorite vegetable? - probably potatoes. Nothing is better than mashed potatoes

What is one thing you eat or do with food that other people find to be weird or disgusting? I mix mayo and ketchup for dipping my french fries. And I love Nutella version of Elvis's favorite grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich.

What is your favorite drink? coffee and wine. Not necessarily together.

What would your last meal be? It would be full of all the my favorite, high fat foods - a great steak, lobster drenched in butter, some kind of pasta in a pesto cream sauce.

Are you a picky eater? Yes, I don't like sour things, so vinaigrette are out, and I am squigged out by squishy foods like eggplant. But this has gotten better as I got older. My parents did not expose us to much variety when we were kids and my mom was an awful cook.

Do you like it spicy? A little bit, but meh - I am a pansy when it comes to heat.

What is the most exotic/strange food you've tried? How was it? Not much access to exotic foods here, unfortunately.

[SoonerTexan]

What is your favorite fruit?

Blueberries or Granny Smith Apples

What is your favorite vegetable?

Asparagus

What is one thing you eat or do with food that other people find to be weird or disgusting?

I think I'm pretty normal. Juicing I guess?

What is your favorite drink?

What would your last meal be?

I couldn't give you a main course, but Chocolate Mousse would be in there.

Are you a picky eater?

No

Do you like it spicy?

yes!

What is the most exotic/strange food you've tried? How was it?

Ha, probably Korean sides with Thirteen & Dr. Thirteen. It was pretty good. I wont do things that gross me out, even if they taste good, like tongue, calamari, frog legs, etc.

[spotty_dog]

What is your favorite fruit? Fresh ripe strawberries. NOM.

What is your favorite vegetable? Brussels sprouts, I think. Or fresh butterhead lettuce. Or peas right off the vine. I'm in the middle of reading the seed catalog...I want ALL THE VEGGIES right now.

What is one thing you eat or do with food that other people find to be weird or disgusting? Hm. Can't think of one right now. Oh, I know. I love pickling brine! I eat it by the spoonful when the dill pickle jar is finished, or even better my homemade dilly beans. Mmmm.

What is your favorite drink? Red, red wiiiinnnnee.....

What would your last meal be? Maybe gnocchi and brussels sprouts in browned butter?

Are you a picky eater? Sort of. I've grown more adventurous in my adulthood.

Do you like it spicy? Increasingly so!

What is the most exotic/strange food you've tried? How was it? I've gotten a taste for mussels and calamari...delish.

[Vanquisher]

What is your favorite fruit? Strawberries, probably.

What is your favorite vegetable?

Potatoes. Even though, it's a cop out veggie. My favorite veggie with some redeeming nutritional value is probably raw sugar peas right out of the pod.

What is one thing you eat or do with food that other people find to be weird or disgusting?

I too mix ketchup and mayo, but I don't think that it's weird at all. All Utahan's do it. It's called Fry Sauce. They bottle it and sell it there.

I don't have any food time rules, so I'll eat fish and garlic and pasta for breakfast. My favorite breakfast is leftover dinner.

What is your favorite drink?

A chocolate malt.

What would your last meal be?

Crab and oodles of it. Drawn butter. Mushroom risotto with truffles. A perfectly seared diver scallop on a sweet corn polenta. Heirloom tomatoes. Italian Creme Custard for dessert.

Are you a picky eater?

No. Not really. I'll try pretty much anything as long as it's not spicy.

Do you like it spicy?

No. I don't get it either. Why like pain? No way.

What is the most exotic/strange food you've tried? How was it?

I've tried so many things. Who knows what the most exotic is?

Ostrich - like beef
Alligator - nondescript. Not much flavor.
Caviar - salty little pops of yum
Lychee- kind of like a syrupy grape?
Calamari I don't find exotic at all. I have it often. Again, not a ton of flavor on its own.
Escargot- I've only ever had it cooked in butter and garlic, so it tastes like butter and garlic.
Dragon Fruit and passion fruit
Rabbit, Venison, Foie Gras (yummy, rich, fatty), Pâté, Squab, Quail, Duck, Shark, Eel, Octopus, and probably a ton more.

I'll try most anything, but I draw the line at rodents, balut, and pretty much anything seen on Fear Factor.

I have no idea. I love food, but my "mood" changes.

I don't really know. I don't think I've really eaten much exotic food. I'm also big on the "ick" factor. Gator, maybe? It's fine.,,

[MsSassyBaskets]

What is your favorite fruit? Mango. But... Is avocado a fruit or a veggie? I'm thinking fruit. Love avocado.

What is your favorite vegetable? Brussels sprouts

What is one thing you eat or do with food that other people find to be weird or disgusting? I drink milk, which I know grosses some people out. It's an addiction, I can't stop. Also, love cilantro.

What is your favorite drink? Red wine.

What would your last meal be? Pork butt tacos, the meat seasoned well and stewed in its own fat for hours, with fresh corn tortillas, fresh pico de gallo, sliced avocado, queso fresco, and a dash of hot sauce.

Are you a picky eater? Moderately. Usually not because I don't like something, but because I don't feel like it at the time.

Do you like it spicy? Medium, not painful.

What is the most exotic/strange food you've tried? How was it? Hm... Nothing too strange, I'm not the type to try chocolate-covered bugs or anything like that. But alligator stew, escargot, steak tartare with raw quail egg, fois gras, eel, squid, many varieties of roe... it looks as though I like my exotic foods on the meaty side. Pretty much like them all, but alligator was boring and chewy.

[alotofyarn]

What is your favorite vegetable? Raw carrots maybe. I have no idea. I eat most veggies without any particular preference toward one or another as long as they're cooked well.

What is one thing you eat or do with food that other people find to be weird or disgusting? I eat sandwiches (burgers included) from the outside in, so that my last bite has a bit of everything on it still and not just the edge of the bread.

[LadyFoot]

What is your favorite vegetable? Snap peas. I think I could live on them.

What is one thing you eat or do with food that other people find to be weird or disgusting? Cincinnati chili, if that counts. Skyline all the way! It's either something you love or hate, but I was raised on it, and I love it!

What would your last meal be? My good friend's chili eaten over Fritos. Basic meal, but it's delicious and I have so many great memories connected to that chili.

Are you a picky eater? Not at all. There are very, very few things I won't eat or at least try.

Do you like it spicy? Yes! But not as much as DH!

What is the most exotic/strange food you've tried? How was it? Hmm, sweetbreads? Chewy - not yummy. Frog legs? Like a combo of fish and chicken. Cured wild boar leg, sliced off, with hair and skin still attached? Quite tasty! Durian fruit? Kind of oniony.

I use Frank's Red Hot for salad dressing. Maybe that's weird?
