Isn't it interesting that most everyone's favorite meal is Italian and not French?

Mine: Pasta, steamed veggies, garlic and a splash of olive oil.

Damn, now I'm hungry again. Time to break out the pasta.

I love a good pasta, especially with wild mushrooms. Of course, excellent bread and oil is a must. Plenty of fine coffee and a bit of chocolate for dessert.

I also love steak, especially prepared in a nice French restaurant!

My favorite meal of the day is always my first cup of coffee in the morning.

Lim, HP sause goes with everything. I dont mention it because it is always implied that the sausages are smothered with it.

Try this simple pasta dish. This is SOP in our house.
Add the following in small mixing bowl:
4 cloves of garlic chopped
1/3 cup of parsley
2/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano
add just enough extra virgin olive oil to form a paste or ball.

Add the above mixture to enough cooked (hot) Linguini to feed three or four.

I was just wondering what folks favourite dish, might be?
What I mean is, if you had the choice of your favourite dish - what would that be?

I'll kick the topic off by saying that although I like dishes with steak, dishes with turkey and ham, dishes of roast beef, but my favourite meal would have to be Italian.

My preferred dish would be lasangne and/or tagliatelli.
So the ideal meal would be - location : native Italian restaurant : appetisser : caesar salad : main course : lasange/tagliatelli with garlic bread and olive oil, washed down by a nice house white wine : dessert : gelatto (ice cream) followed by copious amounts of coffee.

What's yours?

Your tastes are a little "privileged" for my college student budget... when I can afford it I go out, I don't cook... what foods I'm laying on the line are the sushi, take out chinese (general chicken w/ big serving of chow mein), and the classic gigantic burrito full of who knows what. The best eatin' in town for about 6 bucks. Now what I eat day to day is another story entirely... see if you can dig this:
raw oats w/ trail mix and milk (added sweet n low)
broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, red onions, and green beans microwaved w/ veri veri terriyaki sauce
tuna w/ mayo and BBQ sauce
Ezekiel's bread (9 organic sprouted grains)
Rosarita refried beans

Ok...here's one...
Sunday mid-morning, I did a hard solo 46 mile ride on a beautiful but relatively warm Floridian day. Got home starving, and I downed a half a bag of those lime flavored Tostito corn chips with AIA Hot Salsa and two Yeingling lagers. How about that for a post recovery meal??
Gotta feed those love handles!(very small ones, but eager to grow:D )
Of couse then I had lunch!

and Ice Cream:(

sound much more sensible...

That's a good ride. I'm sure you'll burn off a few corn chips. Not familiar with Yeinling though.
