One thing I'm pretty sure we haven't discussed much.

Post here of your preferred food & drink.

Personally, I swear by ginger. Mainly ginger beer.

4 parts ginger ale to 1 part ginger beer makes and excellent drink. Possibly mixed with an alcoholic beverage of your choice.

Also, dat bacon. Dislike of bacon is heresy.

Sausage. Pizza. Bacon. Lemon-lime soda. Fruit snacks.

Pizza, Pepperoni, light sauce. Steak, Well done. Coca cola. Black tea, sugar. Powerade, grape.

Gotta be rare. But eh... if he wants to chew meat-flavoured shor leather, that's his purview.

Protein shakes, tea black or with milk and a biscuit, clotted cream and a saffron bun, and also catfish.

I really love fried fish. Cod, catfish, flounder, whatever, though I'm partial towards halibut. Especially in beer batter or something similar, although standard breading is also good.

Hummus and pita chips are great. I think I inherited my craving for this from my mom. There's a bit of an ideological war between us over it: she uses the hummus to accent the flavor of the chips, whereas I simply use the chips as a means of conveying more hummus into my mouth. (Especially hummus with crushed olives in it. Mmm.) Consequently I go through the hummus quickly and get yelled at.

Speaking of, there are a couple of dishes my mom makes that I haven't seen anywhere else. One (affectionately called sausage-cabbage-'tater stuff) is sliced sausage, cabbage leaves and large diced potato chunks, plus salt, cooked in chicken/beef broth in a crock pot for ~7 hours. It has an exceptionally savory taste, which I like. I almost want to call it a stew, but it's so chunky and the broth is so thin that you're better off eating it with a fork.

The other is called red-eye stew. This one is actually stew, in case you were wondering. It's beef, diced tomatoes and diced/sliced carrots cooked in some sort of gravy, with a bit of bourbon thrown in. It's been a while since she's made this, so I don't really remember many of the details of its preparation or its flavor (though it's also very savory, and a bit spicy).

Blood Sausage, Radler, smoked trout, roast chicken, roast pork, Döner Kebab.
Black tea, Leberkässemmel, Hascheeknödel.

Mashed Potatoes.

I really like pizza. And tacos, both have obtained status as typical Norwegian friday night dinner by now. And I absolutely love chicken curry. Seriously, one of the best meals I ever ate was some cheap chicken curry at an amusement park in Stockholm. It was divine. I really like all other kinds of stews with meat in them as well.
I also like steaks and beef and stuff, preferably medium or medium rare. And porkchops are great too. Moose steak with fried potatoes best sunday dinner.

As for drinks, apple juice is divine, and so is orange juice. In Norway we have a soda called "Solo", it's basically Fanta only it's actually got orange juice in it and not just 50/50 tick and sugar like Fanta does. Solo best soda of my life. Hot chocolate is great too, tea is also nice, and I've recently started drinking coffee which is okay.
Oh, and then there's this traditional christmas drink, we call it "gløgg". According to Wikipedia you call it "Mulled wine". Tastes great.

Curry is truly the food of the gods, yes.

Apparently mead (re: honey masquerading as a drink) should be on my to-try list. Hum.

MEAD

Masquerading honEy As a Drink.

A clever game you play, Error.

Mead is somewhat dissapointing. Real ale is better.

Managed to get a hold of some Vanilla mild (vanilla flavoured bitter) recently... genuinely the weirdest drink I've ever had.

Absinthe can be fun too, if somewhat lethal.

That's the weirdest shit I've ever heard of; who'd even make that?

I'm a gastronomiconomical adventurer, and after eating on several continents I can assure you all of the location of the best afternoon tea I've ever had. Bewley's, Grafton Street, Dublin. If you're ever there for it, it's a wonderful thing.
