A seafood linguine, with mussels lining the dish, pasta with red sauce, and shrinp and scallops. Mmmmmm, Belissimo!

A_G87,

You wouldn't starve to death just about anywhere then? Do you like chilli?

Kind regards,

2 meals for me.

1) Garlic Shrimp (gambas ajillo) which my wife learned to make when I was stationed in Spain. ( a long time ago).

2) Fried chicken the way my late mother used to make. She fried it in Crisco shortening (old school) and made a delicious gravy with the drippings and would pour it over rice. When I get to heaven I am going to ask her to make it for me.
My wife tried to duplicate the gravy but it didn't turn out well. The end result was it clogged up the sink when we threw it away.

I am afraid that making gravy is a lost art.

Doug,

Garlic prawns in the Spanish style is very good; Perhaps even a little nicer if you add a little chilli.

Fried chicken is tasty and gravy is great, but I'm not so sure of the Crisco.

All mothers go to heaven, and we sons would love to join them.

There is an old saying that, "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and what hangs from it".

Unfortunately, most of us blokes will go to hell, since the ladies we prefer to chase usually can't cook, but are better sports and so appeal to that other appendage. These sporting lasses probably also head in that direction since its innevitably going to much more fun there.

Well that's probably my fate at least.

Kind regards,

I will have to remember the chili powder. By the way, I can't argue about
your philosophy on the other appendage. But as I get older and slow down,
I enjoy food a lot more.....

One of my favourites... reading the recipe has made me hungery... I'll make this for dinner... yum!

There are many variations but this is a good basic one.

DOM,

YUM

I do a very similar thing with diced smoked atlantic salmon in stead of the anchovy and Fettucine instead if the penne. Then wash down with several glasses of ice cold Verdelho.

I'll let you know how the Verdelho goes with the penne and anchovy.

I'm almost 60 and maybe the other appendage is not as important as it once was, but believe me food hasn't quite overtaken it yet!

Kind regards,

Smoked salmon would be heaven... even thin strips of fresh, raw, salmon.

don't think i could narrow it down to just one, there have been so many over the years....

blackened chicken, pulled from the bone and sauteed, with mixed greens, also sauteed.

"supreme" or "works" pizza -- there's a spot in town that serves the best i've EVER had, but it runs almost $40 for one large.

broiled lobster tail, NY strip, baked potato/s.cr./butter

sesame chicken over rice/vegetables

my sister's meatloaf -- makes prime rib taste ordinary.

there was a dish served in a Japanese restaurant here locally, can't remember the name of it, but it was based on grilled shrimp/veggies -- I RUINED IT BY HAVING A JAPANESE BEER WITH IT! REVERSED GEARS ON ME TWO HOURS LATER!

any/all of the above -- washed down w/ Heineken.

Spaghetti Alio e Olio in my family is good quality EVOO with finely crushed garlic - heat the garlic gently in the oil (just enough to flavour the oil not to fry the garlic) and then pour the result over cooked spag. Toss, sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan and eat. You can sprinkle a bit of chopped parsley over it if you want to add a little colour, but basically, that's it.

Favorite recipes or favorite meal ever ?

Favorite meal ever was fresh (caught that day by me) broiled bluefish (sans dark lateral line meat) -seasoned with garlic, chopped onion, a little olive oil, & freshly ground black, white and red pepper, little neck steamer clams (that were just dug up from the beach) served with drawn butter, linguine with olive oil and minced garlic, pepper, basil and parmesean cheese, sweet corn just picked up at the local market, a ceasar salad with romaine just picked from the garden and home made ceasar dressing (including the obligatory salted anchovies - bought at market) -- all topped off and served with chilled Pino Grigio and a case of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale (as we were at a beach house in Nova Scotia, Canada). For desert, nothing put fresh strawberries, blueberries over just baked sweet biscuits and homemade whipped cream and bit of shaved dark chocolate.
The tired legs from the 90 mile ride with chock full panniers we had just done to get there (as part of one of our trips around the entire peninsula) , and the sunburn to go with it, the beach, the late August ocean breeze, the wine, the beer, the company. Now that's a meal !!!

El Loto

Not necessarily my favourite meal ever, but it was last night's dinner.

Chop up some shallots, red peppers, cherry tomatoes and courgette. Stir fry them with some balsamic vinegar.

At the same time grill some halloumi, I had to use a griddle pan.

Toast pitta breads (two per person usually) and spread hummous on the inside.

When sufficiently grilled add the halloumi and the vegetables.

A quick, tasty and mostly healthy snack which can fill a hole.
