Actually, I would argue against doing that UT. I think it's cool to keep a thread going, especially when it's still relevant.

Food is always relevant. And who's Jese? :-)

i finally figured out how to make decent cashew chicken. for at least the next couple weeks or so, thats my favourite food. before the cashew chicken it was pesto chicken pizza. thin crust, pesto sauce, mozzerella and asiago cheese, chicken and sundried tomatoes (if thats your bent) topped with fresh parmesan. easy to make, goes good with beer.

I don't have a favorite food, as general food. It's all in how well whatever-it-is is made, not in what it is.

Canned diced beets, btw, are about the favorite food's polar opposite. That, and overcooked liver. You can spot that stuff by the faintly greenish discoloration it gets. Raw liver always looked more appetizing to me -- and I think my psyche was trying to tell me something.

However, I will stack my mom's take on the condensed-milk recipe for lemon meringue pie (the Carnation recipe off the can label) against any other dessert on planet Earth. I'll post it if anyone is interested. The secret is in the graham-cracker crust: it has to be freshly home-made, scratchbuilt.

When I get time to eat (damn these 18 credits!):
<drool>
Barbeque. I was born in Texas, and very little beats a big side of steer cooked for twenty-four hours, then slathered in one of several forms of sweet and spicy goodness.

Steak. There's a place here in the Cities called Murray's that serves a Silver Butterknife steak. So tender you can cut it with...you get the idea. Another place called Manny's has a baseball steak (twenty-two ounces :eek: !) that is similarly tender, but they drip it in garlic butter. My arteries clog at the thought.

But, what I like to make on my own:
macaroni and cheese, some peas for color, andouille sausage, pepper, a little italian seasoning, and some cajun spice.

Might as well ask here
 

What is Vegemite? I have an e-friend in Germany who eats the stuff regularly yet cannot tell me what it is or what it tastes like. I looked around and found recipes and even a picture of a Vegemite Sandwich, but nothing on ingredients or taste.

Jag? Can you shed any light on this?

Brian

What? No one knows? Or no one will admit to knowing?

Brian

It's a disgusting Aussie product.

According to its website one of the main ingredients is the founder ... no, not flounder ... founder.

Vegemite tv commercials are interesting, but the stuff looks like shit on toast.

is that the same stuff as marmite?

~james

Brian, I have a very educational link for you. :)

Wait a fucking minute...

Jag will stick his damned head out to bitch about politics, but won't offer us insight to vegemite? What an asshole! :)

Nah, he's just a very busy guy.

I vehemently disagree with you. I think he's an asshole. ;)

If you're a man in this world, it's impossible to not be an asshole. The minute you piss a woman off, no matter how noble your intentions, no matter <i>how</i> right you were, it's "Asshole!". Even if they admit later that you were right. It's just not fair.

Hell, I couldn't even get him to talk about his own damn country.
