What's your absolute favorite meal?

[TSLexi]

Hey guys, ladies,

What's your absolute favorite meal? Chicken parmesan with a side of spaghetti bolognese and Caesar salad is mine.

[Vladimir Putin]

Chicken a la king with rice.

[applebottom111]

Good steak with french fries and a hot date;) Or lobster!

[EvaCassini]

2 slices of peter luger's bacon to start then Peter Luger's porterhouse for 3 (just for me) and german hash chased down with several Manhattas

[Ms.Stepford]

Raw organic grass fed sirloin and dry red wine.

you realize that "organic" is a meaningless term. free range grass-fed beef is are more meaningful than "organic"

[Ms.Stepford]

I don't really care what you just said.

when I go we're 4 people (2 guys, 2 girls) and we get the steak for 3. It's enough for us.
It's call the Luger's Jewish Plan. waiter sometimes gives us a dirty look but I tip well to compensate.

i eat at peter luger's every couple of months. the whole point of going there is to have the best steak i have ever eaten and i'm not sharing. it is the one steak house in nyc (brooklyn only...fuck that place on northern blvd) that i don't mind dropping cash on.

do you have the peter luger's card? i bet my number is lower than yours!

[RallyCola]

I don't really care what you just said.

yes you do otherwise you would not reply. now kindly take a big step back and literally fuck your own face.

[Ms.Stepford]

I can't :( I never watch videos when people post them anyway. I always have music on, and on this rainy day, I'm not going to pause Disintegration for something that's probably obnoxious.

But seriously...I'll tell you exactly what it means when I say "organic grass-fed sirloin. When I have a friend go to the co-op for me and I want them to pick me up a steak, I'm going to tell them to get me an organic grass-fed sirloin, because that's exactly what's on the label. Conversations about the meaning of what I'm going to eat don't really interest me in that context.

Of course, whenever you mention "organic" anything, someone's always gotta tape up their nerd glasses, pinch their nose to affect the timbre of their voice, and get overbearingly pedantic about it, and I care about it just enough to ridicule it.

[EvaCassini]

Anything, just not chicago. i dont like chicago style. I do love NY style ;)

[speedking59]

i have rice and kimchi for lunch or dinner several times a week. when i go out bibim naeng myun is what i usually order.

[dderek123]

Naeng myun is awesome on a hot day. My favourite korean dish except for good bbq.

S&W is ok...on par with other cookie cutter steakhouses like Mortons... but you can have a better steak at Porterhouse, Sparks or Peter Luger's!

[NightmareX0666]

For me it is a treat since I do not make it a whole lot, but have always loved it since my mom made it. Pork chops in mushroom gravy (nothing fancy just cream of mushroom soup), mashed potatoes, and corn. Thinking about it my mom used cream of mushroom soup for other things city chicken and mini hamburger patties. Even the leftovers were great for the next day.Damn I miss that cooking!!!

[RallyCola]

...When I have a friend go to the co-op for me and I want them to pick me up a steak,...

I care about it just enough to ridicule it.


oh...you are one of those people. nevermind. your ridicule is only as ridiculous as buying things from a co-op. once you've eaten steak at the finest steakhouses, it is utterly pointless to make steak at home.

[Ms.Stepford]

But, they won't serve it to me raw in the finest steakhouses!

[RallyCola]

that's a whole different thing too. i cringe at that thought too.

my father in law takes raw chop meat and makes a sandwich with it. i nearly threw up when i first saw it. i know some people just want a cow to be wounded and sent by their table and they will finish the job...but i need my proteins cooked. i can't even eat sushi. i know i am missing the flavor of the natural product but i can't do it...its like asking a butch lesbian to suck a dick.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, the thread asks for a favourite meal, but the posts are only about food: a meal must have food but must surely also involve people and location. A favourite meal is thus an event, of which there have been so many I don't know where to start or end. Sometimes the best meal owes something to time and place -if you have been travelling for a long time and are hungry; or because of the people you are with.

One of the best meals I had was in my twenties and travelling through Italy where in Genoa I ate a simple plate of pasta in a small out of the way place that for some unknown reason tasted as if it had come from heaven. When I was a resident at an institute in a Middle Eastern capital the Palestinian chef used to make sensational dishes of food which were eaten in intelligent company which is something that cannot be bought-even something as simple as Mudardara which I have tried to replicate and just can't get it right. I have had Lechon in Cebu which may the best in the world if not just the Philippines whether or not you are, as I was, with local transexuals who might also be the best in the Philippines if not the world; and in Hong Kong I have had one of the best Indian meals (on Lock Rd in Kowloon), as well as one of the best and most sumptuous of Chinese meals in the company of an old friend I hadn't seen for years which is why it was special. And so on On this basis I am sure other members have some stories to tell!

When I worked at Ponderosa 'steakhouse' we had a guy who wanted his chopped steak microwaved for 30 seconds...no more than that. No flipping for another 30 seconds or anything the guy would go to town on it. On the flip side we had people who wanted their steak to be like charcoal...burnt to a crisp.

that's what I've been ordering in Italian restaurants my whole life. If I feel adventurous I'll do chicken francese with a side of potato croquettes, but only rarely
There's only 5 or 6 places I go to in Bronx and queens, but that's for a whole different thread.

[Stavros]

Flabby have you been down to SoHo to get a Cronut? It says in the article below that Dominque Ansel bakes them at 6am and they are gone shortly after he opens at 8am...

have not experienced a cronut yet. 5 bucks for a piece of cake seems a bit elitist. but apparently they can't make them fast enough to meet demand.

Come to Europe, Trixi. You can get really fine steak tartare in France, Italy, Germany and even a few places here in the UK. I'm not into that, but often enjoy wonderful salmon tartare in Germany.

Just make sure it's not been matured a little too long, or you can get worms..... :hide-1::hide-1::hide-1:

I'm firmly with Stavros on this. Mine was on a foggy night in a very atmospheric Venice where we dined simply on pizza, salad and affogato - ice-cream with an espresso poured over it and a carafe of the house red. Everything - the meal, the flavours, the atmosphere, the company, was just perfect - then back through the chilly, fog-filled, medieval streets for a night of glorious sex in a 15th century palazzo.

Now that's a favourite meal!

The day's catch barbecued in the moonlight on the beach at Cascais just south of Lisbon ran it a close second, with damper bread and kangaroo steaks in the outback in Oz coming in third.

It's call the Luger's Jewish Plan. waiter sometimes gives us a dirty look but I tip well to compensate.

Hey, Flabby- one of the Luger's guys opened a restaurant in (what I think was) JP Morgan's personal subway stop--

Any chance you know the name? I can't remember it for the life I me and I haven't been googling lately. . .

Luger's, though- awesome. I lived in W'burg for years and that was my standby for dates, special occasions and Tuesdays.

[MdR Dave]

This will probably sound even worse, but I think "meal" is correct and the event is "dinner".

I know what you're going for, though- my favorite dinner has to be Thanksgiving 1986. It was the last holiday meal I had with my grandfather. Two grandmas and a mother cooking for days, no divorce, both of my brothers at home for dinner, great uncle- all the family I had known my entire life.

It was a grand feast, nourishing to the soul as well as body (though I didn't appreciate it then.)

[CORVETTEDUDE]

Favorite: Chicken & Dumplings / Mashed Potatoes & Gravy / Country Green Beans / hot, out of the oven Dinner Rolls / Fruit Salad & Iced Tea.

Thanks MdR Dave, I believe your fine tuning is right, even if for some the terms are interchangeable. I was expecting someone from the US to give us a Thanksgiving experience, good one!

Not sure if you know the work of Margaret Visser, I think she is an under-rated talent, and loved this book when I read it many tears ago:

Much Depends on Dinner: The Extraordinary History and Mythology, Allure and Obsessions, Perils and Taboos of an Ordinary Meal: Margaret Visser: 9780802144935: Amazon.com: Books@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51lxrDOyTpL.@@AMEPARAM@@51lxrDOyTpL (http://www.amazon.com/Much-Depends-Dinner-Extraordinary-Obsessions/dp/0802144934)

[Prospero]

I've not seen that one. I read her "Rituals of Dinner" some years ago too. Very interesting book.

My absolute favourite meal... observing the precision of the question ... is a wonderful breakfast.

[Jericho]

Feck the precision of the question, I'll answer as i please! :shrug

A large bowl of Bread & Butter Pudding, or possibly, Pancakes (that's British style pancakes, not those scotch/American monstrosities)!

I agree, but not the traditional full English/Scottish.

For me it's either kippers, smoked haddock or smoked salmon with scrambled eggs.

The kippers? At the Crinan Hotel, overlooking the Sound of Jura on the west coast of Scotland. Smoked haddock at Simpsons in the Strand, and the smoked salmon on the last glorious days of GNER on the East Coast Main Line when they still did pullman service.
