If you could have anything...

[Bouncy Ball]

...to eat, what would it be? Cost is not a factor, and availability/seasonal factors don't come into play, either. But you do still have a normal-sized stomach, so "600 buckets of caramel corn" probably wouldn't be realistic.



Here's mine, assume all ingredients are fresh and/or organic:

A salad of field greens with roma tomatoes, mushrooms, and the most amazing Blue cheese dressing ever made. Put a couple of slices of avocado on the side.

Angel hair with garlicky pesto, roasted pine nuts, and finely grated Parmesan (not the powdered stuff).

The most amazing, awe-inspiring bottle of wine EVER BOTTLED.



How about you?

[Kire]

1. You know what we ought to do man? First thing, man. Go and get us a...

...groovy dinner. Yeah, break out some of that cash man!

[Bouncy Ball]

2. Wait, don't tell me.

Is that from "Up in Smoke?"

[Kire]

3. How's your joint, George?

George: Oh my..I believe it went out. I got to talkin' so much I clean forgot about it...went out.
Wyatt: Well, save it. We'll do it first thing tomorrow morning. Gives you a whole new way of looking at the day.
George: Well, I sure could use that! Yes, I sure could use a little of that!

[Bouncy Ball]

4. No idea.

You're going to turn this into a pot thread, aren't you? You are totally going to hijack this and I'm not even going to realize it until like post 47, aren't you?

[Kire]

7. You're right on top of 'em!

Billy: I'm right on top of 'em?
Stranger: Yeah, the people who this place belongs to are buried right under you. You could be a trifle polite.
Billy: A trifle polite?
Stranger: A small thing to ask.

[GOPisEvil]

5. Hmmm...so many options.

There's sushi: fatty tuna, eel, shrimp, salmon, spicy tuna.

There's beef: An aged porterhouse with pommes frites. Perhaps a garden salad with a dijon honey mustard dressing.

There's seafood: roasted salmon with a red wine reduction sauce and some greens sauteed in red pepper flake and garlic. (Actually Emeril made something similar recently, go figure).

Dessert - cheesecake...gelato...

Choices, choices...

[Bouncy Ball]

6. Nope, you have to decide.

It's got to be ONE meal.

Now there's nothing saying you can't have small portions of all of that, remember cost and preparation is not a factor.

But you've got to describe the meal, stop being wishy washy! LOL!:-)

[GOPisEvil]

8. OK, I'm going with steak au poivre with the frites and sauteed greens.

Dessert is New York Style cheessecake with raspberry sauce.

That's enough for me.

Edit - misspelled poivre.

[BrklynLiberal]

9. I'll have what she's having..........

BB. Your description made my mouth water.

My only addition is that it would be white wine.

[Wapsie B]

10. Linguine with shrimp in a butter & garlic sauce,

garlic bread, tossed salad with freshly made Italian dressing, and peanut butter pie for dessert. For the beverage I want a nice hearty ale.

[Southsideirish]

11. Lou Malnati's butter crust cheese pizza. (Its a Chicago thing.)

[Droopy]

12. 3 pounds of snow crab legs and lots of melted butter

With unlimited amounts of beer to drink.

I could have the crab legs if I really wanted them, but beer is a no go.

[Bouncy Ball]

13. Mmmmmmmm.....

droooooool.........

[Floogeldy]

14. Defnilly a beef enchilada dinner.

:)

[Zomby Woof]

15. Your pic of Willie is REALLY cool

[Bouncy Ball]

17. Thanks!

Hey I have a stick figure family on my car, can I put you on as "Best Internet Friend?"

:rofl:

:loveya:

:hi:

;-)

[shanti]

16. just what i'm having tonite

oven baked bbq country style ribs with a marinated pasta salad consisting of olives, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, parmesan, hardboiled egg and bacon......topped off with strawberry glazed cheesecake!

[Robeson]

18. Brick oven pizza.

[VelmaD]

19. My momma's homemade meatloaf...

which she hardly ever makes any more. Fried okra - just rolled in cornmeal, NOT batter dipped. Corn on the cob fresh out of the garden. Maybe some spinach cooked with bacon and onions. And definitely homemade cornbread.

And for dessert...homemade chocolate cake with homemade vanilla ice cream.

Yup, I miss my momma's cooking. :) I can get good food from nice restaurants here in Austin if I really want it. But momma's home cooking...that's a rare treat.

[Kathleen04]

20. Meal @ my fav Mexican food restraunt back home

-Spinach Enchiladas
-Loads of chips and salsa (keep it comin!)
-Fresh (tableside made) guacamole
-Original flavored virgin margarita to drink (underaged!) with a salty rim! :)

[yellowdogintexas]

22. mmmmmSpinach Enchiladas. The closest Mexican restaurant

to my house makes divine spinach enchiladas. These are no diet dish, either they are smothered in sour cream sauce yummmmmmmm

where is your spinach enchilada heaven? Mine is in Fort Worth.

[Kathleen04]

25. Southern CA

It's a chain called El Torito, I really like it. The main thing I miss about CA when I'm gone is all of my favorite places to eat!

These spinach enchiladas that I get are covered in a spicy green sauce. I like the idea of that sour cream sauce. Mmm. :)

[yellowdogintexas]

26. oh it is the best..they do a really awesome sourcream sauce

at this place; I think it is because they use Mexican crema instead of our thick commercial sour cream, it has a different flavor. It is a very filling meal, rice and beans on the side of course.

I love spicy green sauce on chicken enchiladas mmmmm...

This restaurant is a family owned place, just around the corner from my house. Great chips and sauce, good soups and some divine dessert flautas too.

I only go to chain Mexican places if I want salads, or nachos or stuff the little mom & pop places don't bother with.

[Ptah]

21. Easy:

[SnohoDem]

23. Cold soba noodles

with good dipping sauce

or

really good Pla Lard Plig

[yellowdogintexas]

24. things I can't have anymore:

steaks like the ones my grandmother used to prepare
my other grandmother's fried peach or apricot pies
and her awesome iced tea

my mother's excellent country vegetable meal
corn on the cob
squash
green beans
cucumbers in vinegar
cornbread
sliced tomatoes
maybe some mac and cheese
good iced tea

and a piece of wonderful pie of some kind or another.

My great aunt's biscuits mmmmmmmmm
and the dairy products from her old jersey cow. Home made butter, buttermilk, cottage cheese, etc.

a home cured country ham.....

not a luxury meal by any stretch, but it would be tasty.

I can duplicate some of it, but I never could get my piecrust like Mom's or my steaks like my grandmother's or my biscuits like my aunt.

and I don't fry anything anymore so the fried pies are just a lost cause.
