I’m down sick today so I figured, if I can’t eat, at least I can look at my favourite foods. I hope you enjoy not eating them as much as I will. 😛
My Top 10 Favourite Foods (in Alphabetical Order)
- Broccoli Salad. I just love the crunch of the broccoli and the tang of the white wine vinegar dressing. And, of course, it has bacon, cheese, and mushrooms. 3 of my favourite things!
- Cheesecake. Cheesecakes are like my children I love them all equally. I couldn’t find a photo of my totally-not-really-favourite one, though. Oreo crumb crust, manadrins baked in, dark chocolate drizzled over the top.
- Fish & Chips. Give me a good beer battered cod, crispy chips with malt vinegar, and a side of nice, salty mushy peas ANY day.
 - Lasagna. My mom’s lasagna will always hold a special place in my heart. I adore its simplicity. Noodles, ricotta and spinach, marinara sauce, mozzarella, repeat. But you could probably feed me lasagna from just about anywhere and win me over with it.
- Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. There’s something about the combination of cooling mint and slightly bitter dark chocolate that is just ridiculously refreshing in the middle of a hot summer.
- Shortbread Cookies. The crisp snap and buttery flakiness of a good shortbread will always remind me of Christmases with my grandma. Despite the fact that she had celiac disease and couldn’t eat them, she made the tastiest shortbread anywhere.
- Sushi. OK, not JUST sushi. I’d take some chicken and shrimp teriyaki. And I’d take some tempura vegetables. Then I’d take a big plate of pork gyoza. And then I’d take a huge tray of sushi.
- Tamales. When I was in high school, one of my best friends was from Guatemala. Her mom used to make us tamales after school. They. were. AMAZING. I’ve been hooked on them ever since.
- Yorkshire Pudding. With roast beef or not. I will gladly just eat them as a snack with gravy. My Nanny Bette used to make them for us all the time growing up. Don’t forget the eggs. Yorkshire pancakes aren’t nearly as good.
- Youtiao. a.k.a Chinese donuts. Especially good with a bottle of green Schweppes cream soda.
