Amu Bill:confused: ,

You do not want to eat Vanessa!:( she is so cute! You sure want to date her and invite her to an Italian retaurant or a top-notch French restaurant! ;) Well after that ;) but I am with you regarding Heineken. I truly want to meet you someday Amu Bill and we can have so many Heineken that we cannot even speak English, ;) maybe I will take Vanessa with me! I only wish I could :(

Regards

I just can't narrow it down to one. I can't narrow it down to ten. Food and drink are things I take great pleasure in. Beer is my favorite drink, but there are so many different styles, I cant pick one, let alone one brand. Sorry, I can't do it. Whatever you consider your specialty is good for me.
 
Jaegerschnitzel and hefe-weizen, some black forest cake, a shot of apple schnapps, and a long, long, nap.:yawn:

edited to add: during the nap I could dream about Vanessa, that's about as close as I'd ever get.:p

For me the foods I grew up on but don't have the time to make anymore. Since I seldom have them that makes them a special treat.

Most all of these are thought of as poor man's food, or served by country inns rather than fancy stuff served in the expensive , but they bring back memories. Maybe because smells are processed on an unconcious level.

*)Beans and ham hocks with corn bread.
*)Meatloaf and mashed potatos.
*)Macaroni and cheese made from scratch.
*)Cabbage rolls; tarhonya; noodles with cabbage flavored with bacon; gravy made with sour cream and noble rose paprika; and garlic and onion and potatoes, sauerkraut soup ( this section is all a Hungarian thing ).

*)And much more that don't come immediately to mind, but when I smell them take me back to the family get togethers of childhood, before my aunts, uncles, and cousins spread to the four winds. Somehow they satisfy the soul in addition to the appetite.

Sarge,

I have been dreaming of Laetitia for a long time! And believe me once I dreamt that she was in a trench with me fighting!!!! How strange! :rolleyes: . I should have some sort of mental disorder!

I have one I'll sell you cheap.:p

Best tasting meal I've ever had was a crawfish fettuccine style dish with white sauce. Was served with buttered black bread that was moist and sweet but not enough to taste like desert.
I ordered some excellent blackberry wine to drink.
This was a small cajun restaurant in New Orleans which I couldn't tell you the name of, but I could find it again were I to go there.
 
Best entree: thin steak, maybe venison or elk, maybe a sprinkling of cheese, on a garlic-bread long roll (baguette). Had one in Calgary (just beef on a garlic roll) and loved it.

For drink, I don't know, probably a Dr.Pepper made with real sugar that's hard to find these days.

But for dessert, I know exactly, I've been dreaming about it for years. A big slice of raisin pie, with vanilla ice cream. I used to eat some raisin pie every time we'd stop at a gas station/restaurant when I lived in Canada. Every place had it. So sweet and gooey, yum! Down here in Texas everyone looks at me like I'm crazy when I mention it. Close second place is rhubarb pie made straight from the garden, similar lack here in Texas. Next Thanksgiving office dinner we have I'll make a raisin pie for the office...
 
Guys, I'm going to have to defer to Rusty's good judgement and excellent taste. I know of a restaurant run by a nice fellow from Louisiana, where you can get THE BEST smoked ham hocks and pinto beans on a bed of rice. Throw in some cracklin' cornbread, some collard greens, sweet potatoes, and iced tea so sweet it'll make you dizzy. Yeeeee haaaaaww! That there's some fine eatin':D :)

Sarge

hush, oh no not you, I'm talking to my grumbling belly.:D
 
I can also go for gumbo or dirty rice.

Face it, I keep Cajun seasoning, Hungarian Paprika, various curry mixes, chiles, Mexican spices, even the Barrila spaghetti sauce a la putanesca ( the putanesca part got dropped a while back and now the label reads black and green olive sauce ) along with unseasoned cooked, frozen roast beef and chicken by the pint and a half or quart containers in the freezer in the garage.

The utility room between the kitchen and garage has become a dry storage pantry for basics so when I start to go into withdrawal from no curry, or no chili, or tacos or burritos, or cajun or Hungarian food it doesn't take long to have it cooking. Did I mention salsa by the half-gallon.

To put it into perspective, I have three bookcases that hold only theological books or cookbooks. From Reinhold Niebuhr, the Desert Fathers, Mysticism, and Foster's teachings on the disciplines of the church to James Beard, Hungarian cooking, and other essential recipes.

To paraphrase Uncle Bill, what do God and good cooking have to do with each other ( not to mention good sex )? Everything!!!

( They are all part of "Celebration" of life, grace, and God's gifts to us, if you look at it that way, OK? ;) :D )
