The Most Perfect Foods in the Universe

GJRicketts

There must be something wrong with me because a lot of those weren't particularly appetising. Or perhaps it's just because I'm not American.

No...I agree with you and I am American

Me too! A lot of those foods combined items that, separately, would be great. But I don't want my macaroni and cheese ON my burger.

I love the simple things like popcorn with butter - - - the nice but naughty snack.

You are missing out

Patty of 50/50 ground beef and hot italian sausage topped with a fontina, parm and pancetta baked mac n cheese

So post what rocks foodwise for you instead of being unnecessarily snobbish. :flowerforyou:

LOL, Yes, we do come across like that sometimes - it's just our funny accent, we even write like it old bean :laugh: OK, as a Brit (and on behalf of my American fiancée, who loves our food as much as I love American foods) lets try a Brit List of:

Roast Beef, Roast King Edwards, Yorkshire Pudding, Selection of fresh veg with gravy.
Fish and Chips.
Chicken Tikka Masala (for the milder taste).
Lamb Vindaloo (for something wtih a bit more kick).
Doner Kebab (pitta or wrap). Yes, this is middle eastern but according to my fiancée, you're not going to get much better than one made in England.

Will that do for openers?

OK, as a Brit then my favorite American foods:

Gumbo.
Jambalaya.
Pulled Pork (or beef, or lamb - Just pulled meat of any flavor FNAR! FNAR!)
Reubens Sandwich
Burgers!

Now...where did i put my pot of tea and triangular cucumber sandwiches....

Can't beat the Brits! Thanks for not including shepherd's pie...I tried it both times visiting your lovely country and I just don't get it, but I never had a bad batch of fish and chips!

I love you.

ALSO I would like to take this opportunity to say that, despite appearances, I am in fact British too. Watched a Jamie Oliver programme about our food though. Basically none of it is ours, all comes from immigrants more or less, like fish and chips is an Italian Jewish thing apparently.

AAAnnyway, in terms of the most perfect foods that are associated with Britain I feel like I have to mention scotch eggs. Maybe I'm a weirdo but mmmmm.

2006 Paris, Beef Bourguignon with a red Burgundy wine.

BeachIron

A steak prepared Pittsburgh style and served with lobster and a great bottle of cabernet. Possibly a chocolate torte for dessert or a glass of Sauternes.

I love the basics.

Myhaloslipped

Egg rolls. They are my favorite food by far.

Bacon, well done, but not too crispy

Peanut Butter

Peanut butter kit kat chunky

Dominos stuffed crust (stuffed with hot dog and mustard) pizza - any topping as long as it's some kind of meat and bbq sauce

I Really love a Monte Cristo from Bennigans.... turkey and ham with Swiss cheese and Cheddar cheese covered in dough deep friend and covered with powdered sugar with raspberry jam

*drooling*

I must figure out how to make this Gluten free and maybe ill let the processed meat and cheese slide lol

All you need is gluten free bread. You could always roast a fresh turkey breast and use good quality cheese. Use gluten free flour to make batter. Its super easy to make most things gluten free. Of course, still not so healthy!

I saw the "Most Perfect Foods in the Universe" title and thought this was going to be a post about lower calorie foods that have a lot of the nutrients your body needs. Organic strawberries are a perfect food - sweet, lower in calories, and nutritious.

A big juicy Nova Scotia lobster, simply steamed, with melted butter and lemon for dipping, and a bottle of chilled Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc.
Filet mignon expertly seared and served perfectly rare, with a large baked potato and sour cream, with maybe a Henry of Pelham Baco Noir, 2009 preferably.
Classic Spaghetti Bolognese (the Cooks Illustrated "Best Ever" recipe, with a really fine Chianti.

Not picky at all, am I?

Of course, it only tastes good served in the company of my wonderful husband.

Oh, yes! With hot Chinese mustard!

As for My Ultimate Favourite Food, that is a really hard question. Tends to change according my mood, the time of the year... But I'm currently salivating over this absolutely delicious dish we shared with my boyfriend in a restaurant in Cyprus. Brie, baked in the oven with a pile of seasonal berries and some herbs. I can't even begin to explain how delicious it was, in it's simplicity. And i don't even like brie.

A friend made something similar to this for my daughter and I probably over ten years ago. We just talked about it about a week ago. It really was phenomenal.

Best dinner: Roast beef sliced thin, mashed potatoes, corn and fried mushrooms on the side. Lashings of gravy
Best snack: Ridged Potato chips with homemade onion dip

I keep it simple

Pizzas & Whisky :drinker:

I didn't think I had already posted, but this has to be me.

I would add also:

Crispy, spicy homemade chicken wings (baked, because I love them that way and not because you told me to!) with blue cheese AND chicken/bacon/cheese jalapeno poppers topped with pear jalapeno jelly. They just come in pairs at our house - it's a bit of a project, but well worth it.

Chinese food in general. Also sushi, which is not Chinese, but does make a fine appearance at the best, freshest, cleanest buffet in town. Which I appreciate.

Any shellfish - lobster, crab, shrimp, clams, oysters.....oh my goodness. No butter for me, please - I prefer my shellfish untainted...

the way I like my real NY Cheesecake.

There's more. lol I may be back, but these are the ones that come to mind right now.

ETA: A really good Rueben. Thanks to the British chick for reminding me.

And a really, really good, no messing around, doesn't resemble fast-food in any way Bacon Cheeseburger. In all it's simple perfection. Also meatloaf (mine) and the subsequent sandwiches made of leftovers.

And homegrown tomatoes just about anywhere - love a fresh tomato sandwich on good grainy bread with mayo, salt, and pepper.
