so on a whim, i purchased a small crock of marmite for five bucks from the international food aisle. it is possibly the most delicious thing i've ever tasted.

now the question is, what in your opinion is the most awesome food ever?

I just created a delicious grilled cheese sandwich. It was fantastic!

Chocolate. No question.

Most of the local food is too bland for me. I find I can get something that satisfies my palate with: 16 parts Lime juice, 2 parts honey, 2 parts basil, 2 parts piperine, and 1 part turpentine. (Note, I do not condone this mixture for any earth natives).

I also enjoy great gobs of nori with lemon or grapefruit. And tea is enjoyable, as is coffee. Though the caffeine seems to get me higher than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide in a tornado.

I agree with HeavySleeper...

Chocolate for me, especially dark chocolate.

Mmm, hummus is soo good.

There are seriously far too many things I enjoy to know where to start. Fresh pesto with fettuccine and tomatoes is pretty high on the list, though. *drools* Some days even ramen and a handful of mixed frozen vegetables is good, though. xD Lols...

I admit, this made me giggle whilst I was in mid-sip of my glass of milk and I almost choked. :smalltongue:

There's too many amazing foods for me to choose just one. But I will say that Vietnamese food, Thai food, taco soup, guacamole, Italian stuff, good BBQ, and hummus are all things which contain copious amounts of win.

Fact: anyone who dislikes burgers is a Communist.
And anyone who dislikes pancakes with maple syrup is a double Communist.

@V: Nah, Canada's basically America, except colder, and boring, and with more moose.

Except Maple Syrup is from Canada. And everyone knows that All Canadians Are Communist.

Unless it's from Vermont. Bernie Sanders admits to be communist.

MMMM.... Delicious communism.

Toasted white bread with butter, Golden syrup and mature cheddar cheese. Divine.

Also: Pork chops, seasoned with some salt and pepper and then whilst they are frying soak them in a sauce of ground up fennel seeds, oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic and if you feel like it coriander.

My own little invention that, very nice.

YOU HERETIC! The only thing you can have on pasta is cheese!

Delicious pasta, with cheese, and a nice cup of tea to drink.

That or a Chicken Tikka Masala...

Mmm...Almost every day of the week I stop by the bakery for a Steak and Mushroom pie. They know me well in there.

Agreed to pretty much everything mentioned in this thread...
Especially noting Dark Chocolate, Burgers and Steak and Mushroom Pie...

I also like peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce and cheese on toast then grilled...

Pasta is awesome and comes in many shapes (I'm particularly fond of tortellini). Another (kinda unusual) food I like very much (but rarely get the chance to eat) is lángos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Langos.JPG). It's basically pizza with a bread like french fries. Oh, and that's my picture, by the way. That one was eaten not long after it was immortalized. As a spice, garlic is good for mostly anything. Garlic bread is wondrous.

When it comes to dessert, it's chocolate all the way. Thank you, aztecs.

Peanut butter and jam sandwiches. Raspberry jam, crunchy peanut butter. Delicious.

I'd say it's a tossup between souvlaki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souvlaki), gyros (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyros) and dolmades (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolmas), and their variants. Pizza also comes real close.

A good Hyderabadi biryani (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biryani) is the most amazing dish I have ever tasted. Veg, chicken, or mutton. It doesn't matter, they're all fantastic.

Ahhh! Since I don't yet have a fridge in my new apartment, I haven't eaten anything but instant noodles in a week! As soon as I get the fridge this saturday, I'm cooking up a big pan of vegetable burritos.

I miss vegetables!

...What the hell is wrong with me?

*squee* Gyros are definitely one of the most awesome things ever. I haven't had them in soo long. o.o

Nothing, go live in Poland for a few months where all they have is meat, cabbage and mashed potato...

Craving a salad something fierce...

It depends on the occasion. Party food like chips or pizza is best at parties, fancy dinner food is best at fancy dinners.

Overall though, my favorite food would be eating peanut butter straight out of the jar.

It depends on how healthy they are.

I'd have to say either salt or pomegranates.

Not as gross as blutwurst. Both are tasty. Foie Gras is worse on an empathetic level, blutwurst on a visceral "oh, that is gross" level. At least for me.

Foie is awesome. I like it done in the pan. Terrine is way too rich for more than a small taste. I know where foie comes from and I don't care. It tastes good. It's no more cruel than all other factory farming. In fact I like free range foie best. Free range organic geese get treated a million times better than the cows that end up in your cheap Mc burgers.

my cheap mc burgers? cool generalization, bro.

i guess it just seems like one of those wtf foods.

guy 1: what's this stuff?
guy 2: fatted goose liver. it is supposed to be good for you!
guy 1: lets get mikey!
guy 2: he won't eat it. he hates everything.

I have eaten ramen, and not the instant stuff, but the actual noodles. Korean Barbecue is also good. I once ate some oxtail soup made by my A-ma.

For one week, as a promotion, a 7-Eleven near me was selling coffee flavored Kit-Kats. It was perfection. There was a whole line of coffee flavored Hershey's brand chocolate items. The Kit-Kats were the best. Probably a good thing it was only a 1-week promotion and they never made them a permanent product. Kinda a weird decision though, as it would've made Hershey's filthy rich.

Of still existing products, a Baskin-Robbins two scoop sundae: 1 scoop Jamoca Coffee, hot fudge, 1 scoop Chocolate Fudge, whipped cream. (No cherry.) Unfortunately, the Baskin-Robbins near me is consistently out of anything remotely chocolatey. No hot fudge or any remotely cholate flavored ice cream.

Of what I can get... Starbucks' Old Fashioned Chocolate Donut. I usually have this with a Mocha or a No-Whip Mocha Frappuccino.

After that is Milk. Yep... Just plain Milk.

What's really good is when you render a whole bunch of foie and add a bunch of butter to it and deep fry french fries in it. Uhhhh... Sooooo Goood...
