Your favourite meal/recipe?

Love pizza, but wouldn't call it my favorite. For the nutritional "setback," I usually prefer other options.

In general, love Italian food. Pretty much any pasta, but a Chicken, Pesto, and Pine Nuts w/ Linguine is probably #1. Throw in a nice Chianti Classico, and all is right with the world.

Post ride, however, I'm a huge Sushi guy. Usually 2 Rainbow Rolls coupled with 1 Spicy Tuna, and I can move on with my day.

I noticed there weren't many Sushi guys out there so far - is it just not a favorite, or is that a "California" trend?

im going to name random foods i want at this moment. I love anything italian- a great meal would be Bruschetta then lasagna or chicken alfredo for dinner then a canolli (sp?) i also like sushi/sashimi im a newbie but everything ive had tastes good. crab/lobster is also good. You cant forget a big rare or medium rare steak.

My Homemade cheese and tomato pizza is my current favourite. It doesnt take long to prepare and cook, the dough comes together without any sticking and best of all it tastes great.

Heres the recipe I'm not sure about the exact ammounts though:

1 cup self-raising flour
1/4 cup olive oil + water 30:70
1/2 tsp salt

Cheddar or Mozerella cheese
Tomato Puree
Oregano

Set the oven at 180C. Put the flour, oil, water and salt into a bowl and need into a dough. Roll out the base making sure its as thin as you can get it. Then spread a tin layer of tomato puree, sprincle a little oregano on and grate on the cheese. Put in the oven for about 12 minutes but be carefull not to overcook.

Well thats the recipe I made last night and I think it tastes great.

Edit: Hmm maybe this is not what this thread is about nevermind. For what its worth though I would order this or another pizza in a restaurant.

Fresh Maine Lobster served in fresh cream bisque made with fresh cream from a Wisconsin dairy farm...a nice rare Kansas City strip from a Nebraska cattle ranch served with a Idaho baked potato and fresh Iowa sweet corn. Michigan cherry pie for dessert.

I know...the seasons are all wrong...but a guy can dream, can't he?

Well I'm from Greece, so a greek cottage salad will frequently accompany my main course.
Filled tomatoes & peppers with rise (oven-baked) is a favourite and extra healthy main course. An extra piece of feta cheese is essential.

Also octopus roasted on charcoals and poured with olive oil + vinegar (or lemon juice) is a very delicious appetizer and accompanies ouzo.
If you find any echinus in extra clean/rocky waters try to eat it (the inside :P) just with a twist of lemon or as it is. Tasty and full of health.

For a fast meat (pork) meal one/two Pita with Gyros, potatoes, tomato and tzatziki (+ mustard & ketchup if u like) is also a great choice. (healthier way: instead of gyros put souvlaki)

For ceremonies/fests etc, where u dont care about ur cholesterol levels, lamb on roasting jack (sorry if I my parlance isnt right) with rise (and lots of other stuff) filling is

But, ofcourse italian pastas have a special place on my diet programme

Love sushi, sashimi...
but not usually after a ride. I'd eat too much and it would cost me a fortune. Plus the best sushi place here is in the middle of my ride rather than at the end of it.

I go in cycles; (No pun intended).

Try this one:

Thai Style Marinade.

For 1 kg of beheaded and shelled green king prawns, (Large shrimp to some). (Note: If you leave the last tail sector of shell on the prawns 2kg complete green prawns makes very close to 1 kg of prepared prawns).

1/2 cup of olive oil
1/4 cup of Soy Sauce
1/4 cup of Fish Sauce
1/4 cup of sweet chilli sauce
2 teaspoons of sugar
2 Cloves of garlic Crushed; (If you like garlic use more).
Thinly sliced fresh or dried chilli to taste. (Two very small dried chillies is to my taste).
ground pepper to taste.

Shake mixture vigorously in jar and pour over prawns and leave in a covered container for twenty four hours in refridgerator, stirring occasionally when convenient.

Cook on hot plate such as Barbeque or Teppanyaki plate as quickly as possible turning once. Serve while hot with a little of reduced marinade from pan or barbecue plate, drizzled over prawns.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Serve with steamed rice as part of a multi-dish meal.

Kind regards,

Lasagne, garlic bread and salad, (*drools*) 'nuff said.

I also love pasta. Yeah, i know lasagne is made with pasta too but i live on spaghetti, tagliatelle, etc. I like it because it tastes great and it's just about the easiest food there is to make. You can't get it wrong (plus pasta sauces are always fun, just stick loads of stuff in a pan and see what it tastes like, it's easy to get the hang of ).

Breakfast:
Some good old oatmeal. Make it with some milk instead of water, and use either honey or maple syrup as a sweetener. It's divine.

Lunch:
I'm partial to salads for lunch, especially with a lot of fruit. So, maybe some iceburg and romaine, with some diced mango or apple. Throw in some shavings of parmesean cheese and some grapes. Finish it off with a nice raspberry vinagrette, or some lite italian dressing if you're not into too many fruits.

Toss in a roll, and you've got a nice meal.

Dinner:
I live in a house with people who party a lot. So, I like to scout out the house, and find a beer or two. Then I take a chicken breast, put a little bit of butter or some margarine in a pan, and throw in the chicken. Pour in a good bit of the beer, and some garlic powder, mexican oregano, red pepper - season however you'd like. Cooking with alcohol tends to amplify whatever seasonings you use, plus give a nice malty flavor (if you use beer).

For veggies, throw in another small salad, and some green beans. I'm not a huge fan of starchy foods, so you'll have to find them elsewhere

Dessert:
A tiny bit of guinness drizzled over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Try it if you don't believe me.

Domburi and domburi variations.

It is the easiest Japanese dish to make.
The secret is being able to find a good sauce to dress it...

Be careful eating horse. Most human vaccines are made using horses, and eating too much meat can lower their effects on your body. Thats the number 1 reason why people don't eat horse more often (besides the whole 'pretty ponies' thing).

James Bruce Gil

Well, Well,

Every now and then we meet a really ecology conscious cyclist. It makes an old man deleriously happy!!!

The casava root and coconut sauce I understand and I suppose some islanders need protein pretty badly, but

Kind regards,
