Playing favorites....

[staropeace]

What kind of rice do you prefer? I prefer the sticky kinds to the fluffy kinds.
Do you like your bread crusty or soft? I prefer mine soft except for baguettes. I like them crusty and sliced in a chinese cut.
Do you prefer dark meat or light with poultry meats? Dark for me.
You guys answer some of these and ask some of your own...if you wish.

I also prefer my men this way. Oh wait is that a separate thread?
But seriously, white meat, soft bread, brown rice, soggy nachos, heavily buttered popcorn.
Since Thanksgiving is right around the corner what cut of meat do you prefer? Drumstick?

 

[skimom2]

Sticky rice, brown preferably
crusty bread
dark meat (more flavour)
Chicken thighs and wings are my favorite. Turkey... eh. Doesn't really matter.
My favorite food in the whole world is popcorn. I could eat pizza every day, preferably homemade. My favorite kind is mediterranean: garlic olive oil in place of red sauce, sun dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, chicken breast (sometimes), olives, basil and oregano, a sprinkling of good mozzarella and some feta.

What is your favorite pizza?
Do you like coffee? I LOVE it.
What's your favorite tea? Green tea is my favorite, but I also like black (Twinings Prince of Wales is wonderful) and herbals.

I am told by an expertthat Basmati is the rice type to go with. Don't know anything about myself. I prefer bread to be with a little something. Love Garlic bread. Walnut bread is good.

My favorite pizza is homemade with pep and salami. I like coffee...instant. I like black tea with lots of cream.

Basmati rice IS excellent. Thank you for the reminder! It's from India I believe.
Pizza has to be cold for me to eat it. Weird? Yes. When I do get in a pizza mood I will buy it the day before I want to eat it, put it in the fridge and have it the next day. Papa John's garlic butter sauce! I'll get BBQ chicken pizza.
Never was a coffee drinker but do like chai tea!

Instant coffee! Oh wow - that is what we grew up with. It took until I left the house to discover the gourmet kind.

(Oh yes - and my thrifty Dad bought canned milk by the dozen).

Brown rice for the nutritional value, flavour and fibre. But the Basmati or Jasmine if I am in the mood now and then.
Whole wheat bread for me (white for my son and husband).
Light chicken meat but not dried out.

Tea? I prefer Tetley.
Pizza - lots of veggies like green pepper, onion, tomato, mushrooms.
I adore coffee and used to drink Tim Horton's but lately have been going to Starbucks as they opened one at the Health Sciences Centre.

Hahahaha! My Mom STILL uses canned milk!

Well it does have twice as much calcium so maybe this is why we all ended up with good teeth (we did not even go to the dentist! if you can believe that).

I hate canned milk. I will drink a Tim's coffee now and then but I prefer Nescafe.
What is your favorite Christmas treat? Mine is fruitcake. I prefer my own homemade with lots of rum in it and Cream Cheese frosting.

Homemade cookies and squares/bars are my favourite but I also enjoy fruitcake and a bit of eggnog diluted half and half with 2% milk.

Pizza... Well have been fond of the variant with ham, Pineapple and banana and a lot of curry on top. Also the Salami variant with onion and green and red pepper (not the very spicy but rather tasty variant). And then theres one with green pepper, goat cheese and garlic thats real good when you feel like a veggie.
Don't drink coffee, never liked it. But tea... Prefer berryteas like black currant tea. Thats good But i'm not very picky when it comes to teas.

I am going to go with brown rice vs white rice. Just has more flavor.

The hell? Is that?

Hahahaha! My Mom STILL uses canned milk!

I literally grew up on it. Being born in the progressive 60s and NOT having a mom who was a hippie, breastfeeding wasn't an option. I was allergic to all formulas, so my great gran told my mom how to make homemade formula: Canned milk, water (a little), and Karo syrup. Add infant vitamins and voila! Formula! *smdh* Then again, I'm alive, so I have nothing to complain about
