I am curious. What are your favorite drinks? What opinions do you have on different drinks? Which drinks do you prefer? Do you have any drinks that you always drink with a certain food? Are there specific ways you make certain drinks? This is a thread all about drinks :)
I am unfortunately a monster energy fiend -- i have cut down, from about 3-4 cans of Khaotic flavour a day to only 1-2 but i need to keep working on it bc they are Expensive,,,, Did the math one time and I spend well over £100 a month on monster apparently,which is not a vibe.
Other than that I mostly drink water (hydrated king fr) but when it's alcohol on the table... Any spirit i can mix with something sweet, usually.
This may sound strange unless you understand the reference, but I sometimes create a concoction called orange joe. It is exactly as it sounds. Equal parts orange juice and iced coffee. I haven't quite perfected the flavors yet, but I am determined that there is some combination of those two, plus some sugar, that would make it taste divine. As it stands though, it is in fact absolutely disgusting, but in a strangely addicting kind of way. Other than that, I am a caffeine addict, coffee being my drug of choice. And water. Lots and lots of water.
So, I'm obsessed with mashed potatoes. It's probably my favorite part of anything I eat. I've tried a lot of stuff from around the net, but I'm curious if anyone has any favorite dishes involving mashed potatoes.
Goulash goes really well with mashed potatoes imo, it's like a rich beef stew with paprika and some tomato (there are recipes online, just make sure it's Hungarian, not the american version, that's a completely different thing and it's nasty). Meant to be eaten with noodles i think but i hate them so,,,, potato.
Also chicken simmered in chicken stock with an unholy amount of garlic until it can be shredded + then add heavy cream and parmesan = another great meal to have with mash
Amd as a brit, I must add the obligatory -- sausages and gravy.
You can't go wrong with steak and mashed potatoes! I actually really enjoy broccoli with mashed potatoes, if you season them well it's delicious and I like to use them almost like a chip by dipping them into the mash LOL
Shepherd's pie is one of my personal favorites. It's essentially a casserole with meat, veggies and gravy, topped off by a layer of mashed potatoes and baked. I find that a lot of people can't quite get the flavors right though, but perhaps that's just me and my palate.
burgers are my absolute favourite thing/food in the whole world. what kind of burger is your favourite and from where?! i loveee the classic double melt from burger king, its just so so good i cant get enough of it.
As a fellow burger lover and aspiring chef, my absolute favorite thus far has to be the classic whopper from BK. There's something about it's simplicity, yet deliciousness, that speaks to me.
Tea or Coffee. Which do you prefer, and how do you like it? I drink both but personally prefer teas. I like hot and cold tea. Earl Grey is still one of my favorites with a little honey and a splash of cream!
I also prefer tea, I drink mostly black tea and Earl Grey too (with a splash of milk or sugar, but never both. If I put sugar then sometimes I also put lemon). I'm sort of particular about my tea lol. Periodically drink chamomile and green tea. For coffee, usually a latte or cappuccino.
What weird food combo do you genuinely like? Bring out your weirdest tastes (^o^) Mine would have to be cinnamon pop tarts dipped in that liquid cheese dip you use for pretzels.
I loooove encouraging people to eat healthily in order to function at the optimal level! When you nourish your body with food thats ideal for your body, then your mind and body will be at its best. Now food is very subjective. Every person has different needs, a body builder has different needs than an.. office worker, haha.
Finding what's right for you is an entire journey full of... decondiitoing your taste buds!! Most people(In the USA, I dont know about other countries) are used to putting garbage in their body because of the instant gratification it provides your tastebuds and the sweet rush of serotonin in your brain.
Anyway my first question is, without thinking of the flavor of things but rather the nutrition: What are some foods you wish you could stop eating and other foods you wish you could enjoy?
Now, Ive been on a 5 year journey of tranforming my diet but to this day I struggle soooo much to resist the call of spicy chips. I have gotten a lot better but on a bad day I gotta reach for that bag. Sigh. *Pan to the empty cheeto bag on my desk rn"
as for deconditioning your tastebuds: you know what? I don't think it's even our fault for liking "junk" foods. They're made to quickly satisfy our flavor cravings. The businesses who sell these things are to blame; they'd rather make a quick buck instead of making sure their foods can give us more nutrition.
Because it'll probably cost them more money.
So instead of blaming yourself, don't blame yourself.

I actually went to that corner sushi place Simon was talking about, and I can confirm they sell humans sometimes. I asked them why and they proceeded to make fun of me and say “Let’s fry the monkey”. Never going there again. Meanwhile, I like it where Sushi good. Yes.
