As far as meals are concerned, I really enjoy having eggs and it can be for breakfast, lunch or dinner:Deggs and french fries anytime!

Nothing fills you like an egg - thats my motto, anyone agrees?:lol:

Oh eggs? Do you include also chocolate eggs to the category of "eggs"? If yes, I am in. But I prefer strawberries. Fresh strawberries. :statisfie

Well I like to have meat every now and then. Anything made of meat is my favourite! And if one is looking for a nearby butcher shop or a restaurant for halal food, then the Islamic places feature in Muslim Mate really comes in handy.

Well chocolate eggs would count if its your meal, which I highly doubt it is, lol, so that doesnt count:p. Remember, food first then chocolate, as moms say, haha.

Straweberry, mmm, pretty cooling, so what else do you like? :)

Meat is so yum I love it too! Chicken is a nother fave. I prefer veggies with any meat dish, Id tuck an egg anywhere there, lol:)

Thanks for that handy tip.

One food I eat everyday is a Finnish rye bread. I love its a little sour taste and its good for the health too (a lot of fibers). But no, I don´t want fresh strawberries on the top of my bread then. Maybe you could give me few of your eggs - hard boiled, please.

:D

Hmm interesting that Finnish rye bread, does it have yeast in?

You could put strawberry jam on your bread instead, thats the way to go, lol:happy:. Oh and I love hard boiled eggs in biryani or fish rice dishes yum!

The traditional rye bread hasn´t yeast. It raises by the fermentation process of rye flour and water. And no, sweet jam and kind of bread aren´t good together. Maybe some anchovy fillets instead than jam.

By the way, why kind of thread? Are you hungry there? ^o)

@sister herb .. Oh that is healthy really, because too much normal bread is not good, due to the yeast; it makes you feel bloat, so rye bread does sound healthy!

How about some anchovy paste? Mmm thats yum.

I decided on this thread to kick up the imagination of people lol, I dont know... just adding some life to thoughts haha;D
@najimuddin , you must be real traditional eater I guess, awesome menu though:D

Thanks for the replies.

I enjoy pizza! A white cheese alfredo with spinach, mushrooms, olives sprinkled with red chili flakes and parm cheese is my go to!
I love variety of ethnic cuisines such as Italian, Mediterranean, Indian, Pakistani, and good ole American. :p

When I'm on a good eating schedule I look forward to breakfast the most (which often than not includes eggs! ;D)

There are a few veggies I'm not fond of, and I gag at boiled milk and red meat +o(

Thats an awesome pizza combination, @Lady A , Ive never tried spinach on pizza as yet, would love to, though.

Yes breakfast is supposed to be the main meal healthwise; Im feeling for eggs right now l might put eggs on pizza, lol:p.

Tell me which veggies you enjoy the most? I love most veggies, oh and no red meat for you? Then fish and chicken would do, or are you vegetarian?
When you say boiled milk do you mean while its hot or you just prefer milk straight from the fridge? How about hot chocolate?:D

Fish and chips looking really good there yumm, its my fave too, your favorite list sounds like typical traditional food but awesome still. The chicken rolled up pancake would be normally called tortillas I assume.

No real vegatables in your list:p.

I do eat fish and chicken. I just can't stand the taste of red meat...and it makes me sick after eating as well.

Boiling milk as in when making chai...or indo-pak sweets such as kheer (rice pudding). Milk itself I cannot drink either...unless in cereal. Not a big fan of chocolate, so I don't even get hot chocolate. :embarrass In the cold winter months I make a cup of cappuccino! :D

Fav veggies...hmm I like potatoes. So much can be done with potatoes. Fries, hash browns (along with eggs), wedges, chips, the list goes on and on! I also like mushrooms, spinach, lettuce, eggplant, a bag of mixed veggies to add to rice, bean sprouts, brussel sprouts, asparagus, peppers, peas, corn, pumpkin (or is it a fruit?)

Have you heard of mixing boiled egg yolk with honey? I was reading that's a popular thing to feed babies for health.

Hi Abz2000, I have been right through Brick Lane and many other places trying to find the fish I like but with no luck, it is a sea cat fish with thorn on its side fins, believe me when those thorns prick you when you catch one of those fish your hand swells up like a balloon, I can remember catching one in Penang.

it has a unique flavour that you will not forget, I miss that wonderful flavour terribly.

there's a fish similar to what you describe called "shing mas" or "shingi mas" , i have seen similar symptoms from their sting and people have told me it hurts more than the non-lethal regular snakes found near the village ponds.
all type of eel like fish creep me out so i stick with the flat ones, but people keep telling me shing fish is wonderful

try the name and they'll show you.

is it like this?

shing fish bangladeshi

first few to appear on google images when searching the above term.

Yep Ive heard of that chocolate 'pizza' which is actually a sweet thing, made with biscuit-type base and topping is full of chocolate, yumm!

Only thing is it might be off putting to some whos thinking of taking a bite into real pizza and then this sweet taste comes up lol:D

Lady A, your body might not be agreeing to red meat hence the aversion to it. So you dont have kheer as well? I love kheer made with boiling milk with ground nuts and cardamom spices etc, boiled till thick its just awesome especially when condensed milk is used as well so its richer.

Not a big fan of chocolate either, although I do drink hot chocolate. We might be some of the rare ones who dont go crazy for chocolate lol.

Of the veggies, I havent tasted asparagus and bean sprouts yet. Some people like sweetcorn on pizza, not a great fan of it although I do like sweetcorn:)

Hmm no havent heard of the egg yolk honey mixture, seems nutritious though.

Hi Abz2000, no it is not shing fish that is what they offered me in Brick Lane, from the pictures I've seen searching for the shing fish, of the closes colour and shape was the ribbon fish, but of course the one in the picture was a giant, the one I'm talking about is probably around 12 inches.

I must say I don't like frozen fish at all, but I would settle for a grey Pomfret for second best.

Umm Abed, I find the meat here in the UK a little tasteless nowadays it is bred for quantity rather than quality, the same thing is happening to fish, they are serving as a lot of farm rubbish tasteless again, its certainly not the country to be living in if you love fish.

Thats a pity, Colinberry1, its always the case with mass production because quality is compromised thats the problem:hmm:.

Very true..:/ Btw, frozen box fish has a distinct 'frozen' taste no matter how fresh, so it doesnt come near as appetizing as fresh fish, thats what I think.

We better learn to make our foods by ourself. Then we can control what are the ingredients, the quality and what is the taste. If those three things aren´t what we expected - then we can blame only our own skills and improve them. (ahem ahem Welcome to the IB Kitchen Club- thread ahem ahem :playing: )

My favorite food is food that served for free.

No, no, I am not stingy. But, I really enjoy experience when I visit someone house then served with food, or get food that cooked by someone. Because it makes me can taste food that different than foods that I usually eat. Like yesterday, when my colleague gave me food that cooked by his wife. Baked yellow rice that filled with steamed chicken, wrapped in banana leaf. Not only delicious, but it's also a food that can't be found in restaurant or food stall.

Eating food that served for free makes me can feel culinary adventure because I cannot choose the food and must eat the prepared food. Also, the foods often different than I usually eat and not commonly found in restaurant or food stall. In this culinary adventure I often ate food that I've never ate before. And as people say, we will not like a food if we do not taste it.

I was born in upper-middle class family and familiar with foods of this class. But sometime I ate in homes of low class people, and tasted food that made from cheap ingredients. But from what I felt, these foods are very delicious.

Conclusion, cheap foods can be more delicious than expensive foods. :statisfie

I would not call me a vegetarian but I try to avoid meats.
My diet is mostly based on oats, seeds, nuts, beens, fruits, vegetables... basically things that grow straight from the earth, even though I love eggs and a bit of milk.
But I am not a snob about it.
Just recently ate some lovely green curry with chicken. Massaman, is one of the meals that I love.

What is interesting is that when you'r invited to a meal they will always cook a variety of foods, meat, chicken etc, so there is always food that you'r likely to enjoy.

Being invited today made me think about your post, and yes alhamdulillah it was good, a variety, even though it was small it was good. And then desserts are usually to follow, and tea etc.

Ive cooked many dishes but eating by someone's house I will always find something new, which is interesting. Your conclusion is correct, its been proven:)

Okay thats fair also because you have balance, not cutting meats out completely. Thats a healthy diet masha'allah, I love eggs too, fried and with potato chips is my fave..

Your green curry reminds me of a green Indian chicken recipe made with mint and coriander leaves.

A few decades ago, if people needed protein, they had to have some nuts and meat.
Now, we can choose from so many things.
If I can hold back on eating a bit of flesh, and keep one chicken/fish/whatever happy, I am happy.
But I don't go overboard with it.

These days people are far more spoilt for choice and lot of people have become accustomed to restaurants so they want that type of flavours everyday. They dont want standard spiced foods anymore, as before.

I also know that most men will look for meat at the table, whether its chicken or lamb, or fish for that matter, so its good that you can do without meat and be moderate. I myself can have just a little meat with lots of vegetables and Im fine. Not a fussy eater, tbh.
