Tuna and sweetcorn/cucumber sandwiches, dont know why I love em so much but i just do! They would have to be in white bread, brown bread is the worst thing that man has invented.
If you could see yourself living off one food for the rest of your days, what would it be?

Pizza. I know it's cliched, but it's unequivocally the best answer. This is a food you'll be eating for ever and ever; it has to nourish you and keep you from getting tired of it. Pizza gives you 3 things for the price of one; tomatoes cheese and bread. Even more ifadding toppings is allowed
Haha, that sounds good enough to me LOL. I think I'd be fat in no time then S: I've definitely heard of Finns themselves being rather quiet and to themselves, otherwise they tend to be very friendly and law abiding (bar on the roads. Oh good God, stay away from the roads up in the northern lands!). Ooh, the longer abroad, the better in my opinion, as long as it's enjoyable! Roughly how much would I need to go to Australia?SckizoBoy said:
Actually, I don't really like peppers either, yeuk. Unless they're in something where I won't notice them, same goes with onions. Haha! I'm curious now; what are the most notorious ones? LOL
KFC Zinger Burgers are lovely! Haven't had one in a while. Their wraps are great as well!THE_NAMSU said:
They sound really tasty though knowing me, I would probably ruin them with salt! I tend to prefer brown bread myself, especially with all the oats and seeds but, sure, for me it depends on the brand of white brand. Are you fussy at all with that? :LToastiestZombie said:

Of course you can have various toppings! And I agree wholeheartedly with you both!Vonnis said:

By 'how much' do you mean money, or time? 'Cos one needs a lot of both, my old man paid for the family to go to Australia, since it was for a cousin's wedding. Oh, that was funny (well, maybe not funny, but still), that wedding reception was good for two reasons. One, the food, and two, the one table among twenty of non-Asians. Everyone around them was shouting in Cantonese (since both bride and groom were HK Chinese who had both brought their extended families) while eight poor suckers were looking a little lost occasionally saying something in English. What was worse: Chinese restaurant! Great food though, even if I can't remember it. And in so saying, unfortunately, I don't know what a lot of the dishes are called in English. However, Fujian cuisine is a big no for me, loads of weird seafood, weird mushrooms and weird soups. And I'm rather picky about Chinese desserts, too, though for the most part, I don't like them (water chestnut cakes/jelly is ick, most jellies are not particularly nice either, but coconut jelly is OK-ish, though sesame-ricecakes are awesome).Hipsy_Gypsy said:
Lol, I meant money but as I said previously, I honestly wouldn't mind staying for a longer period of time as long as it was going to be enjoyable. Sounds like yous had a blast, haha! Poor guys, mind you! I only know how to say "hello" and, unless I'm wrong, "*****, please" LOL.SckizoBoy said:
I can't help but think of octopus dishes for some reason though apparently they're actually quite nice albeit a wee bit chewy. I hope Australia don't have any blobfish on their seafood menus, eek! Now ricecakes sound nice!

I had to read that twice... and HA! Please romanise what you... 'know' into English and I'll 'try' to translate! =PHipsy_Gypsy said:
Never really had octopus (though I have had takoyaki, which is quite nice, Japanese snack dish, I don't care, I like), but squid... ooooo, squid... chewy, yes, but delish! Anyway, about blobfish... you need to bottom-trawl to get them, and apparently they're a threatened species. And I wouldn't imagine that all that may restaurants have it, since the flesh is quite gelatinous... *shrug* I don't think I'd like it either, to be fair!
Oh, just remembered the Chinese equivalent of custard tarts and mantou.
...
It's quarter past two in the morning and I suddenly have a desire to visit a Chinese takeaway!
"Ni hao" for "hello" (spelt wrong I'll assume LOL) and I've no idea how to spell "*****, please" haha but phonetically it's "ba-pom goi" or something along those lines? I probably remember it wrong though, lol!SckizoBoy said:
I can't deny that I'm definitely curious but it'd be one of those foods that I'd be really, really reluctant to try, haha! Would you know how to describe what it tastes like or is it just one of those "it just tastes like [squid]" if you know what I mean? :L
So... so some of them do eat them? Jeepers. Yeah, I knew they were at the bottom, haha! I remember reading that they're really lazy fish too, haha. Generally speaking, I'd be interested to visit the aquariums! Don't know why though; fish have a tendency to terrify me for some reasons. Very bizarre looking!
That sounds lovely! Though I've only really had stir fry with noodles; I should try it with rice some time.Chased said:

'Ni hao' is the stock spelling in English, though for Cantonese, I pronounce it closer to 'lei hoh (mah)', and literally, it means 'you doing well?'. As for the other one... I'm trying to figure out the tones and it's making my head hurt!Hipsy_Gypsy said:
Yes, they are really lazy fish. To feed, they just open their mouths and sort of just crawl along. To be honest, I don't know whether people eat them, I think they're just fished by accident, quite how I haven't the faintest. Though, I do like fish... skate and salmon in particular, and trout coming in a close third. But the bones... oh, the bones piss me the hell off!
It's a different cooking style, fried noodles vs. fried rice. The main difference is the order everything is cooked in. Both noodles and rice are invariably boiled before hand, but the rice goes in before the vegetables/meat (but after egg if egg is part of the dish), while for noodles, it's the other way round. Others may do it differently, though it's turned out well and no-one's died... yet! XD
I'd love to live off Roast lamb and vegetable for the rest of my days, that'd be pretty awesome.
Chili.
The way i make it, i use several kinds of meat, tomatoes, chilis, onions, beans, carrot, corn, mushrooms, and i mix it with rice. Overall it ends up pretty healthy, it tastes awesome, and i can cook large portions, so i can make food for 4-5 days (if i eat the chili 3 times a day) at a time, meanign i will only have to cook 1½ times a week.

The food I eat the most of is toast. Covered with almond butter. Not peanut butter, almond butter. I don't really like PB for some reason. Then again, I love taking orange slices and sucking all the juice from them without actually consuming any solid part, but don't like pre-squeezed orange juice you buy in a carton. So go figure.
[sub]Actually, the orange juice thing is easily explainable: oranges grown in different areas taste different because of the different pesticides, etc. used on them. So the people making the orange juice add stuff to it to make it taste like the kind of oranges they think most people drinking it are used to. I eat only organic oranges, and you can't have organic orange juice without it oxidizing (turning bitter) in a matter of hours, so any orange juice I buy won't taste like the (real) oranges I know and love. But anyway, toast with almond butter. Incidentally, almonds are one of the all-time best natural, no-side-effects hunger suppressants- okay, I really have to stop myself here. >_>[/sub]

Oooh, that sounds fantastic! I love Chili, even though I very rarely eat it.teisjm said:
