mallorys_cameraSince there is Bad News on the Not-My-Tragedy front, and I'm in dire need of distraction, I have copped this meme from the bee-yoo-tee-full and self-contained lifeinroseland. If I do her meme, it'll kinda be like eating her heart in the full magic sense so that I, too, will become self-contained. Otherwise, I will start randomly dialing people in my Contacts database, and what, after all, would I say to them?
1. How do you feel about golden Oreos?
An abomination used by pedophile demons to lure choirboys to hell.
2. What is your favorite dessert topping?
Very, very thick cream. As a former nurse, I hate to call it "clotted cream" because that makes me start thinking of heparin drips.
3. What is your favorite flavor/brand of bubble gum?
Not a bubble gum gal.
4. Favorite cheese?
Raclette! And Mobier.
5. Favorite Lunch Meat?
Ohhh. Not a lunch meat fan.
6. Favorite ice cream flavor?
Very partial to Häagen-Dazs coffee.
7. Best looking food?
I think you can plate just about anything with sufficient artistry and make it look good. Though, of course, plating incurs no debt to actual taste.
8. Best food to put cheese on?
Bread. And then you put it in an oven at 350° for ten minutes.
9. Best food to eat away from people?
Anything with large amounts of garlic and anchovies. Also (come to think of it) raclette and mobier cheese.
10. Best tasting drink in the summer?
Orangina.
11. Best tasting drink in winter?
Peach tea.
12. Best food for a night out with friends?
Tapas. Also Szechwan dumplings.
13. Best foods to eat with a roll?
I don't do rolls either.
14. Messiest food, in your opinion?
Hmmm. You mean, what do I always dribble all over myself so that everyone realizes I'm a complete slob? Any type of pasta.
15. Easiest food to prepare?
Pesto! If you have a food processor.
16. Cheapest food you ever ate?
I've spent large portions of my life subsisting on ramen noodles.
17. Most expensive food you ever ate?
God. It would have had to have been at a multi-Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris, and I have totally forgotten what was on the menu because I was with a man I did not like.
18. Stinkiest food you ever ate?
One of those wonderful, smelly cheeses, dripping with ripeness.
19. Favorite dipping sauce?
Chinese plum sauce.
20. Best pizza topping?
Pizza is another food I don't do! I know, I know—everyone loves it! Except me.
21. Favorite potato chip flavor?
Vinegar!
22. Most toxic substance you ever ate?
Peyote.
23. Most calories you ate in one meal?
I can't remember. I've eaten so much at one meal that I've gotten a stomachache. But I've never thrown up.
24. Favorite soda?
Orangina. I'm also partial to Jarritos mandarin.
25. Favorite flavor of juice?
Apricot.
26. Favorite Vegetable?
Beets!
27. Favorite fruit?
Apricots.
28. Worst canned food?
Peaches! And I acquired that hatred from reading The Last Picture Show. There's a scene in which poor Ruth Popper is lying there being pummeled by her husband, the despicable Coach Popper, and she remembers all the canned peaches she has fed him over the years—it's his favorite dessert—and she fantasizes she is being squashed by a human wall of canned peaches! It's a very well-written, memorable scene, and I have never been able to eat a canned peach since.
29. Best side dish?
Sauteed mushrooms.
30. Worst fast food restaurant?
Wendy's.
31. Best restaurant?
Well, that varies, doesn't it? Right now, it's Cinnamon in Rhinebeck.
32. Best smelling food?
That varies, too.
33. Favorite appetizer?
Palak Chaat
34. Favorite cookie flavor?
I am very partial to real linzer torte cookies made with real walnut flour.
35. Favorite cake flavor?
Lemon.
36. Favorite pie flavor?
Blackberry.
37. Chocolate or rainbow sprinkles?
Neither.
38. Ketchup or Mustard?
Why do I have to choose?
39. Best food to have with a near-stranger?
Something that won't get caught between my teeth and make me look like the Creature from the Black Lagoon suddenly metamorphosed into human form.
40. Most share-able food?
Truffle fries!
And if anybody has any more memes, send them my way!

Date: 2019-06-05 10:38 am (UTC)Puddings are better unadorned IMHO; I dislike custard and I'm not interested in cream or even ice cream. Cassis, framboise etc are a different matter and are sometimes acceptable to my palate.
Food is one of those things that divide us. Thankfully we don't all have the same tastes (the underlying idea of this meme).
I'm rushing around until Sunday, so though I'd love to play, there's too much going on ATM. Hope things get easier for you.

Have fun in the real world!
