Paul,
What is your favourite Mexican dish?.
I love Guacamale(sp?) and Corn Chips or Hot Tamales.
So Paul, what do you eat, these days?.
Three vege and meat?.
I am a great fan of having Edam cheese mixed in with my Potatoes and whip it all up, with a sprinkling of Garlic powder!, try it, I think you'll like it!.

I suppose I'm not too adventurous with Mexican, and just eat the Gringos usual fare of tacos, burritos, enchiladas etc.

Other than that, living as a bachelor I guess makes one pretty lazy about food. It's mostly just quick and simple -- Dump the contents of a can into a saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes, or bake in the oven for a half-hour kind of thing.

Paul,
Must say that convenience food(for want of a better term),is really getting quite good these days.
You can have a good sized, reasonably healthy meal on the table in under 10 minutes, these days, or longer, if you want to avoid food poisoning, with some cook-chills.
Canned soup is also getting better, from being just some peas and carrots, thrown in a can, with some water!

Hi guys I would say I am somewhat like sparky I will give most things a try.

No particular order here.

Chinese food (hot and spicy dishes)

Pizza

Steak and Baked Potato

Lobster, Shrimp, Scallops, and Cod, I too am a New England Native.

BBQ, now this I will drive all over the place for. I am definitely a "Yankee" and I do not know if any of the places I like would hold up "down south" where BBQ is treated from what I have heard like religion.

BBQ to me is meat cooked in a smoker at low temps for many hours, pork, beef etc.

Some day I will travel down south for BBQ joint hopping, until then I go here.

Oh and Trumpy in the winter I have soup most every day at break from a thermos.

It is getting better and more variety, when they had a two for one sale I went an bought about 60 cans, it was the only thing I bought that trip and I got many strange looks.

Bob

Bjarney The deep fried candy bars are showing up all over now.

I took the family to an agricultural fair here in MA called "The Big E" and they had all kinds of deep fried candy bars.

I would have tried one but I was to stuffed from all the other things we had there.

I'll pass on the deep fried (or not) haggis.

Southern barbecues still make me chuckle at the signs I saw on my first ever visit to the United States some years ago.

I was driving south on U.S. 27 in central Florida and kept seeing the usual ads at the roadside:

"Old South Bar-B-Q Ranch, 35 miles"

"Old South Bar-B-Q Ranch, come get some real southern cookin', 24 miles" etc.

After several of these up loomed another in the distance:

"Old South Bar-B-Q Ranch -- Please come in and buy something, I have to pay for all these dern signs!"

I can still picture that stretch of highway thanks to those signs!

P.S. I never did get to eat there -- Turned off of Hwy 27 to head for Okeechobee before we reached the place.

Trumpy, The Memphis is 10 minutes from my home, do I need to FedEx some brisket to you.

It's funny to be reading about Memphis Roadhouse on an international forum. I was just there a few weeks ago! Small world.
