I love chicken vindaloo, really damn spicy. I love, love, love, love, love Indian food. Or curry, whatever you want to call it.



Mexican food as well, or Tex-Mex.



I love strips of steak with lots of Tapatio hot sauce.

When I get back to LA, the first place I'm going to is Poquito Mas. If you're ever in LA, go there. Go to the one in Burbank, it's heaven: http://www.poquitomas.com/burbank.php

I also like Chinese. Love Kung Pao chicken, and I love those chili peppers that come in it. I could eat a million of them. I could 'em like potato chips. Damn, I wish I had some right now.

Things I don't like.

-Cheese. I hate cheese.
-Not big on eggs.
-Cole Slaw.
-Sauerkraut.

I'm with you on Indian food. Love chicken vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, chicken 65, chicken methi, biryanis, pakoras, rasam and kulfi. We've got a superb Indian restaurant in Lubbock, but I still cook a great deal of Indian food myself. In fact, I'll be whomping up a dish of chicken methi tomorrow night.

My local Indian place is pretty good except for the fact that one of the tables is permanently occupied by the owner's sleeping baby.

Thai food is nice as well. Had a green curry for lunch. Terrific flavours with a good spicy hit.

'Twas a big helping too. I realised that when I had to button up my suit jacket afterwards. :)

I love the flavor of Thai food. But frankly, fish sauce frightens me.

Fish sauce is good.

Vietnamese cuisine has fish sauce.

You dip the shrimp rolls and egg rolls in it or put it on your rice.

Soy sauce has already made me want to vomit. Nasty stuff.

I love soy sauce.

Do you know what I find nasty?

Mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, Catsup!

The only condiment I can stand on my sandwiches is Grey Poupon mustard.

We took Dad to dinner for his 80th birthday. I had a BACON wrapped filet. My Iceberg lettuce wedge salad had crumbled BACON on it. My baked potato had real BACON bits on it. Is it possible to have too much BACON?

My breakfast today:

(2) eggs, scrambled, with salt & pepper
(1) slice of toast w/ 1 tbsp raspberry jam (from Kitchen Kettle Village)
(1) 2.5 oz. venison sausage patty
Quarter of a grapefruit (given to me from a relative who just got back from Florida)
2 cups of black coffee

Roughly 400 calories, for anyone who cares about that.

Fleming would approve. But he wouldn't give a ruddy rip about the calories. Then again he snuffed it at 56.

Had a big slice slab of strawberry cheesecake today...after all, I made it.

You are supposed to have coffee, jet black; deep yellow yoghourt and fresh green figs, peeled.

Any of you have thoughts on blood sausage?

I've got some family coming into town soon and plan on trying it when we go out to eat. Looking forward to it, whether it's good or bad. I've always wanted to try it.

Never had blood sausage.

Have had blood oranges.

I love black pudding, which is what us Brits call blood sausage.

Bloody hell.

'Tis delicious, as is haggis. Have never cared for the likes of kidney or liver, though.

Pork Spare Ribs or Pork Baby Back Ribs?

Which one do you prefer?

Still undecided about the ideal salad dressing ratio. The only thing I'm certain of is that it needs to be poured on Santa's tits in moderation. They have their own distinctive flavour and it's important not to kill it.

I make my own salad dressing out of garlic, mustard, sugar, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Yeah, but what's the ratio? (Sugar's a nonoagogo for me.)

I use low calorie white sugar - Splenda is the only brand that tastes nice.

I start by putting 4 crushed cloves of garlic into a small ceramic jug, followed by 3 tsps of sugar then a tsp of extra virgin Tuscan olive oil to form a thick paste. Add 1/4 tsps of mustard, then 2 1/2 tbsps each of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Throw in a couple tsps more of sugar, then stir.

All done to taste.

Good man. Same here, although I just use olive oil and balsamic vinegar - three tablespoons of the former to one of the latter. Might add a bit of garlic, though. You can never go wrong with garlic.
