One of my favorite foods is a slaw dog or a slaw burger. I grew up in the southeast where it is most common to add coleslaw to a sandwich, especially a chilli dog. I now live in North Western PA and while a few people know about that delicasy, most do not. I miss being able to go to the local burger joint and saying, "hot dog all the way" and getting exactly what I want. If you say that here, they make you spell out exactly what that means. "All the way" in relation to dogs and burgers means, mustard, onions, chilli and slaw. So yummy! I have to make them myself to get what I want--so I do.

It's funny how you can order something in one part of the country and they know what you mean and not in other parts. We just say with everything, but it certainly wouldn't mean slaw or not necessarily even chili.
I really can't say what my favourite food is because I love food in general. Italian, mexican, so yummy!! Casseroles, bbq. My favourite meals always have cheese unless it is a roast beef dinner. I love appetizers, dessert, bread, you name it.

Here in nw Kansas coleslaw is usually a side dish but there is a restaurant in town that makes a fried bologny sandwich with coleslaw on it. My husband tried it because he loves fried bologny....he'd rather have his coleslaw on the side (or not at all...it is a vegetable after all)!

Homemade lasagna! I make my own meat sauce and 8 cheese filling. I'd give you ladies the recipe, but my mom would kill me.  That, and my grandmother's chocolate buttermilk cake with fudge frosting. YUM!!! |

My family is from Easter PA. We grew up eating coleslaw at every holiday, usually there was some in the fridge every other week. My mom and now I use my grandmother's recipe. Except it isn't really a recipe. Anyway, we moved to NY, just outside NYC and I married my husband a born and bred New Yorker. NYers don't eat coleslaw the way I do. When my mom would be invited to holidays at either my house or my in laws, she would always bring the coleslaw. I asked her to bring it. Well......... they just thought that was CRAZY! Why would you have coleslaw at Thanksgiving or Easter. Well....duh, with turkey or ham? After 31 years of holidays with the in laws they have come to love my mom's coleslaw. No one else makes it, but they love that she brings it. She died 2 months ago and my sister in law said to me " Who is going to bring the coleslaw now?"

Condi, I make a homemade lasagna that is to DIE for. You know what they say...if you made it yourself it never tastes as good as if someone else made it? Not braggin'...just sayin' I really enjoy my own lasagna. I was lucky enough to be married to an Italian man for eight years and I asked his mom and aunt Joanie for some of their recipes. Joanie used to admit she dirtied every dish and pan in the kitchen when she made her fabulous homemade lasagna. I'm not quite THAT messy. I'll share if anyone's interested (best of my ability to remember. I live alone now & haven't made it for years...and I don't go by recipes/measurements, so...)
They have made lasagna noodle you don't have to boil for years (they are pleated) but if you use the type you do have to boil, boil them in oil so they won't stick together, drain, add some butter, spread them on the bottom of the pan.
Layer cooked, drained, seasoned ground beef and sausage (Italian), chopped green peppers and onions, I use garlic powder instead of garlic, and mixed shredded Italian cheeses and spaghetti sauce; repeat over & over 'til you reach the top of the pan. Bake for about forty-five mins. to an hour at 350.

Favorite food....I don't think I can do that...I like way too many foods....I can tell you what I don't like faster and easier than what I do like...I don't like real spicy foods and buttercup type squash. Everything else I could eat. I love a variety of foods and especially like it when my friends from different countries invite me over too eat a traditional meal....YUMMMY!

In my lasagna recipe, I don't mean you actually boil the noodles in OIL...boil in water with oil added. Like canola oil.

I love lasagna. Yum yum. Just talking about it is making my stomach growl.
Gosh, I can't narrow down a favorite, but pasta has got to top the list for sure (pasta in many forms - lasagna, spaghetti, casseroles...). I also really like vegetables, fruits and breads. I like a lot of things, LOL.

A nice steak, baked or mashed potato and a nice salad....mmmmmm.
My mom's chicken & dumplings. That is just "home" to me.
Steamed crabs. oooooooohhhhhhh!!!!!!! I could eat those for days. Pretty much anything with GOOD crab meat in it. Crab cakes, crab stuffed shrimp, crab dip, crab soup, cream of crab soup. There's just nothing wrong with any of that!!!!!!
Of course, there are TONS of other foods that I love. There really isn't enough room here to list them all!

I love lasagna, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes. Carbs, carbs, & more carbs. Foods I don't need so I'm trying to cut back. My all time favorite food is chocolate. That is one thing I will not give up. I think it's time to make a trip to The Chocolate Fetish (chocolate store in Asheville, NC that is awesome).

Aw man! We HAD a Smokey Bones in Bloomington for a while, but they closed. I was so upset. Maybe it was just one too many steak houses in that area, but I did love their food. They didn't have the crab and corn chowder though. I'm always careful about where I get my crab dishes. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to crab. If it's not the blue crab, preferrably from the Chesapeake Bay, it's just not the same. |

Well, that's my problem too. I love to eat. I love any kind of homemade yeast bread or rolls. I can make a meal on them alone. I love nuts. I would put nuts in just about anything if I could get by with it. I add nuts to my cereal every morning and I put them in tuna salad and of course, bake with them... and chocalate, I love it.
