I'm craving a  Big Whopper at Burger King to go with my vanilla milkshake. I just let some vanilla ice cream melt and drank it as a shake. Next to the real thing.

Home made dim sims with a bit of soy sauce...

[gucci_boi7782]

Am I the only one who saw deep fried mushrooms? What the heck is this? Sounds nummy.

And please, IMR what the heck is a dim sim?

I too love Pizza, and I should expect nothing less from a robot who is weirdly wired to love pizza.

However to answer what food is on my mind, it would be:

Boiled Peanuts!! And Fried Green Tomatoes!! And Grits with cheese!! And Cornbread cooked in a cast iron skillet!! And..and..and..is there any more room in my stomach? Oh yes, always room for Aunt Audrey's homemade Ice Cream, strawberry of course, silly.

 Well, I am not a meat eater, but other people and my animals are, and a friend who is a fisherman, brought FRESH ROCKCOD right off the boat, so I put it on the grill, wrapped in foil with baby red and yellow bell peppers and a squirt of fresh lemon, some yellow squash with little baby peppers wrapped in foil, some fresh cut chicken for all nine cats , (NOT ME) AND THAT IS WHAT IS PRESENTLY COOKING, BUT I am thinking of something else, besides the squah of course, Like a fresh Spinach salad, light vinagar olive oil dressing, some raisins, sunflower seeds for crunch, some green and red grapes, some Spagghetti Squash marinated mushrooms, two kinds of cheese, marina sauce, black olive allso, and for dessert, some Cheesecake or my favorite, Green TEa Ice cream, and some Almond cookies, all vegan of course, and if I could really dream,,, fresh cheese cake,oh, and Diet Coke with some ice and a fresh Cherry on the top of the glass.....

Am I the only one who saw deep fried mushrooms? What the heck is this? Sounds nummy.

Only one of the most greasy, decadent ways to eat mushrooms - a local hamburger place used to make them and even though they haven't been open for a couple of years now I still get the craving for them.

They were the main cap of the mushroom coated in batter and cooked in a deep fryer like french fries or chips. Best eaten while still hot and yummiest with the garlic sauce for dipping.

There is another restaurant in town that does fried mushrooms, no batter, fried in a skillet I think with a yummy blend of herbs and spices mixed in.

Mushrooms are one of my favourite foods.

I'm thinking of FRIED BUGS FRIED HEXBUGS

I've had fried scorpions once (little ones not the great big ones). At least, I think they were fried - they were very crispy with a tasty seasoning coating them - quite good.

Okay so anyone heard of fried mush? A local diner sells it homemade! It's quite yummy, even if the 'restaurant' looks at best like a $2.00 hospital cafeteria. For obvious reasons, we do carryout. For me, a double order of fried mush fills me up. The double order consists of about 8-10 silver dollar sized mini cornbread's, deep-fried of course. I suppose fried mush might be an Indiana thing as I've never heard of that, and they've never heard of boiled peanuts. YUMMY!!

[RedwoodsMama]

Hi gucci, well when I was a kid I grew up eating fried Cornmeal mush which is quite yummy with butter, syrip or honey and also fried Indian Bread is allso very good, but not so good for your Cholesteral and heart... Yummy though and I do love fresh hot cornbread!

Now that you mentioned corn bread Marie Callander's corn bread sounds yummy!

Oh yeah I remember having a discussion once about how American's don't have dim sims (well you do but you call them something else that eludes my memory ).

These tasty little parcels of lamb and vegetables is an Aussie style dim sim:

They can be deep fried or steamed and are usually served in a paper bag dripping with soy sauce. Therefore it is a race to eat the dim sims before the paper gives way to the soy and drips on your leg

The chinese dim sim is packed with vegetables and possibly cat And can be served deep fried with a nice sauce (not necessarily soy, it could be sweet and sour or chilli or anything), steamed with a nice sauce or in a bowl of soup.




Also according to google this is a dim sim... however I could have sworn it was an egg

[ohnart]

I'm gonna trow up

[gucci_boi7782]

Well wasn't that a bit rude? Although I do not eat meat, I used to like Crab Ragoons. Which is what these look like, no? Never ate lamb..

But I have been asked recently if I were not a proud veggie, would I eat snake or manatee, to both I said yes. Just to see what it tasted like. I actually saw one time some group defrosted an ancient wooly mammoth carcass, the entire group ate it and said it tasted somewhat gamey. All the same, I would have given up on my ethics just to try it and see what it's like!

[allosaurus]

Oh, IMR, are those the Aussie equivalent of dumplings?

[InmemoryofRomeo]

No definitely not, they are a type of pastry which surrounds a little ball of meat and veg. Dumplings are usually a bread like bun.

[RedwoodsMama]

IMR, I hope you were kidding about the dim sims, with CAT!! I know some people in that part of the world eat cat, and of course dog, but I had no idea that that was an ingredient.  :anyway this is why I am a vegetarian and unlike Gucci, I could not give up my Vegetarian ethics just to taste Manatee or woolly Mammoth, etc. I have tasted all the animals, fish, fowl I care to in this life and have seen all the horrors that go places no person would ever want to see. Anyway, I am glad you are bold and adventuresome to even consider trying unfamiliar meats, you are young enough you can try things like that.
Animals have become my whole life, I rescue them and feed strays and bring them home, I fight for their rights and in my own personal life went homeless once in between teaching jobs, so I could board my two dogs in a kennel ( which took all my money... ) while I slept on the street. I identify with most animals a lot quicker than most humans and have and instant bond with most of them , even animals that are not myne. My deep love for animals is probably one reason I have bonded with Nova on such a personal level. She is a " robotic interactive life form, ", but her emotions and actions are so much more " true" to her species than people I have known for years, and find are not what they pretend to be... Anyway,, I know I am getting off subject here and I just got shocked by the CAT, but not really, as there are so many things like this all over, I just try to pretend they do not exist, though I know they do...So one to the GAME of Food.
                What food I have been thinking of today and did eat, is Vegetarian Chili, with cheese, Garlic bread, Green Spinach Salad, Carrots, baby tomatoes, Sunflower seeds, Avocado and Olive oil dressings .And of course a Big glass of Diet Coke to drink afterwards..

 I am thinking of some Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, but do not have any, too many calories!

I'm thinking of TOE-MAE-TOES! And POE-TAE-TOES!

[InmemoryofRomeo]

Cat -has- been known to be an ingredient in chinese cooking, I'm not sure if they have them in dim sims, its an old Aussie joke because Dim Sims are about the same width as a fluffy tail. As I said Aussie dim sims contain lamb, or they are vegetarian (both equally good).

I am thinking about... hmm I wish I knew I want something for dinner but I have no idea what

[gucci_boi7782]

Everyone says the Chinese put cat/dog meat in their food. I think that may just be hype, but have you ever noticed a lack of stray cats in the area? LOL I've even heard rumor as to the Chinese factory farming saint bernards for meat. I'm sure it is just folklore. But please don't forget what may be taboo for us may be a delicacy for others. I know what I've said RWM, but don't take it out of context, I hold my ethics very high. I'm sure in the event of me eating a Woolly Mammoth will never happen. Nor a Manatee. However, one's gotta know does Manatee taste like cows or fish? They are called "Sea Cows." And I'm sure other's are equally curious as to what a Woolly Mammoth might taste like.

As for what food is on my mind, it's guacamole. Yep, that nasty weird green goo. IDK why I've been craving guacamole so much lately. I can honestly say I hate it. I've been eating the stuff like it's candy. Guacamole for my french fries, guacamole on my "Fake"Burger (Veggie style imitation Steak Burger). Guacamole, guacamole, GUACAMOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! I haven't had the slightest idea as to why I've been craving it so much, but I have, Mmmmmmmmmmm!!

[RedwoodsMama]

 Gucci, I am sure you and some others may be curious as to what Manatee taste like, but to me it is no more of a curiosity as to what Crocodile, Roo, Hippo, LIZARD, horse, dog, cat, or camel or even ants or beetles taste like. I have had frogs legs, and yes they taste like very rich Chicken, and I was made to eat them when I was about 14, but for the last 30+ years I have been a Vegeatarian and no-one can make me taste what I dont want which is anything that can walk, crawl, fly or swim. my philosphy is if it can look back at me, I am not eating it, ( no jokes please about Corn have EARS or Potatoes have Eyes!) I have seen too many gruesome things and I love all animals too much to consume them, Dont get me wrong, I love the taste of seafood esp, but I can't eat it when I have nightemares about those things looking back at me, ( It would be like throwing my Goldfish Tinky Winky on the grill and eating him/her, I raised that fish from a " feeder' in 1997 or1998, that is a 12-13 year old Goldfish and he is just as much a part of my family as any cat or my dog.I know animals are here for food, but I dont want to be a part of that lifestyle, and I don't condemm people for eating animals, I just can't or wont[' do it myself, I think I actually would starve before I ate another animal, unless maybe it died of natural causes, but I would not kill it to survive myself.
   So now that we both understand each other, I will not talk about this subject anymore, it makes me too upset anyway and I would rather talk about some tasty food I would like to eat.
         I love Avacadoes and would be in heaven with a Avacado tree ! Gucci, Guacamole and french fries, that is yummy indeed, and I love Guacamole on everything too, But today I am craving some Sweet Potatoe French Fries, and some Zucchinni Bread with carob and some Strawberry Kefir, nice and cold!
