Crimson Renaissance

I've wanted to make this topic since the forum began, but I put it off too much. Anyway, this is a thread in which we babble about delicious food. Commence.

I have the great urge to eat some pasta right now. :P

Anyone else love cheese as much as I do? I have a strange love for.. bread. Simple, but delicious.

I really do love cheese. :) I haven't tasted many types though, but I really like mozzarella (spelling?) and parmesan.

Depends on what type of bread. There are some types that are just so nice to eat.

I want to eat some fresh, plump strawberries.

For cheese, I like American, Provolone, Swiss, Munster, Mozzarella (yes Lady Warry, correct spelling.  ;)), Parmesan, Cheddar and probably anything else you throw my way, as I don't recall ever eating another type of cheese.   

I like Italian and French bread. Though I've recently tried German pumpernickel and am slowly acquiring the taste. I also can only stand to eat sandwiches with whole wheat.

And yes, I like strawberries too, Merc. And grapes and oranges and bananas. But, I think my favorite fruit is apples.

And, even though I shouldn't yet, I really like wine.  ;) Well, I just have sips of my mom's when she drinks it at our rare, occasional family parties.

Chicken Teriyaki is my favorite food. What about you guys?

(As for favorite fruit: Peaches.) 
 
   

Oh god, I can't choose a favorite food... oh, but Chicken Teriyaki IS very tasty... meh, I always love nice heaping plate of spaghetti, with a meatball or two, but I also love roast beef with mashed potatoes and peas. As for breakfast, I love a plate loaded with pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, porkroll and anything else with a cup of Coffee (did I mention my coffee addiction?  ;D).

We share the coffee addiction, then ;D

What are your views on tea?  ;D

I don't like coffee. It tastes too bitter. And apparently the thing does wonders in terms of inflicting damage to your nerve system.

I like tea, though. It's not a very tasty drink, but it's very nice and soothing. Really, drinking tea is one of the most relaxing activities out there. I like black tea the most, btw. English breakfast ftw.

CVf, the food you mentioned.. It made me real hungry. XD I haven't eaten much tasty food lately *as I've been stuck with fastfood for the past few months* and I really want to eat that stuff. o_O I love Chicken Teriyaki too, but I'm not sure I have a favorite food.

I like coffee. I don't drink it much nowadays, but I really do like coffee, especially when cold. Actually I just like the coffee from actual coffee shops, as over here in our third world country, most households get stuck with good old instant coffee.  :-[

Coffee keeps me awake, especially on those nights that would REQUIRE me to stay awake (i.e studying, report, project, whatever)..

As for tea, I don't drink tea much, but I really like tea on those times that I do drink it. XD

I seem to have certain foods on my mind a lot... seriously, Queso is my favorite Spanish word (god, I just love cheese!)

Pssh. It's nice that you can eat a lot and (seemingly) never get fat. Are you that type of person? *prepares daggers of envy*

No, actually. As much as I like the taste of foods, I rarely EVER get hungry and I have trouble finishing a simple bowl of cereal. Throw in some coffee and forget it, if I finish it all, I'll feel sick for the rest of the day.

Oh okay then. ;D *innocently hides daggers of envy behind back*

Queso/keso (what we call it)! Cheese!

I just love the Spanish language... so funky and festive... I mean they call what we call "butter" "mantequilla". I mean, that is ten times more fun than butter!  :D

Yeah, and WE call it "mantekilya" Hahaha! ...No, seriously. o_O

Spanish-influenced country ftw! Or not.

Really? I always thought the Philippines were more Asian-influenced, being so close to that region, and the people look much more Asian that Hispanic... hey, this just occurred to me: I'm guessing you don't speak English in your daily life, and yet, you type it so perfectly here, just like a native speaker! What language do you actually speak? And, just to keep this on-topic, what exotic foods do you eat there?  ;D

Well, we ARE Asian.. But wait, here's a little history..
Spain colonized our country from around the 1600's to almost the 1900's. :P That added a LOT of Spanish influence. We were also under the American government for a few decades (I think up until past WWII, I forget :P ) after the Spanish colonization, I believe, which is where we got the American influence. XD I'm actually bilingual, as I speak both Filipino and English. That's pretty common here because of said more recent American influence. ;)

As for food, there are a quite few exotic ones, but I live in the city so the only one I ever get to try is Balut. Look it up in Wikipedia. ;) It actually tastes quite good, despite looking horrible.

Doesn't a cup of black tea have a greater amount of caffeine than a cup of coffee ?
*goes to verify it, but fails to return :P*

Oh, I see, that makes sense... lord knows how or why the Spanish discovered such a remote archipelago from their primary area of colonization, but that's a different story.  ;)

So, did you learn both languages from a very young age?

Mercurius... NO!!! *calls on a squad of search-and-rescue special ops and recruits the Swiss navy (even though they're both landlocked and neutral  :P) to find him*

Uhhh...no it doesn't...Tea has a bit of caffeine, but not nearly as much as just about any type of coffee out there.

Actually, according the the history books, they were looking for Indonesia/"Spice Island" around the year 15something and found our country by mistake instead. :P They had "God, Gold, Glory" as their goals supposedly. LOL. I still remember gradeschool history yayz.

The first language I learned was Filipino, but I learned English from all the way back in preschool, and I'm still required to study the finer points now. ..I forgot to mention English is mandatory in all schools, and almost all elementary subjects except Filipino(duh) and History are generally taught in English, or a mixture of English and Filipino. >_> (I know Nightwing from the Not-church is Filipino too, and as you can see he's very fluent as well. 8D )

MERCURIUS AAAGGHHH!!! .. o_O ;D


Also, according to this:
http://ask.yahoo.com/19991108.html
So I guess it's possible for Black tea to have more caffeine than say, a cup of instant coffee.

Well, once again, we find ourselves off topic...

QUESO!!!

wat

Damnit! Foiled again...But still, it's nowhere NEAR as unhealthy as coffee. Hell, scientists even claim coffee would be banned if it were invented today! Compare that to the fact that tea's actually said to be good for your health, helps avoid heart cancer or something.

Hah! I win!

You are a winner, sir.

LOL! Swiss navy. ;D

I'm stating my correction of "reminded"

QUESO!

I like "nutella" (TM), very much!

I like green and black tea. I don't like cinnamon tea too much. Vanilla tea is nice, one of my favorites. Mint tea is great, but I think I like green tea a lot better.

Hmm. Here again is my question. Western tea or Eastern (Asian) tea? :P

Asian, easily. *British Accent Status - ON AND FUNCTIONAL* But, I do love good classic British Tea as well.
