I was chatting with some co-workers yesterday on our lunch break during our long ass meeting. We were talking about foods we won't eat unless it's made at home or by a relative.
Those of you who know me well know how much I love to cook and that I'm pretty good at it too! There's nothing like a house full of people and cooking for everyone, It's fun. Whether it be a huge BBQ or cooking up something in the kitchen, I enjoy it very much. Must be my Italian side. I am very particular about ingredients and about what I cook and eat. There are a few things I really won't eat unless I make it or maybe my Mom or brother makes it:
1) Eggplant. Just about every restaurant fucks up eggplant. They cut it too thick, don't cook it long enough, and it's just NASTY! I make a great eggplant and it kicks ass!
2) Meatballs. Even good Italian restaurants need training on meatballs. They use too many breadcrumbs and the things are like fuckin' cue balls. I have rarely even attempted getting these anywhere but from my own kitchen.
3) Chili. I've had chili in many a place and it's never as good as when you make it at home. Not sure what these places skimp on, but it usually sucks!
4)Hamburgers. There's nothing like a burger made at home on the BBQ. It's not often that I can find a really good hamburger somewhere. It's usually soggy or tastes like crap.
5) Bacon. Everyplace I get bacon they never make it crispy! It's always soggy and rubbery. Leave it in the pan another few minutes! I usually end up throwing it away or taking it off my sandwich. Nothing like it made at home.
That's just a few things I hate eating out of the home....love to hear yours.....
I agree especially on the eggplant.No one makes it as goo as you would at home.It requires alot of TLC to get it just perfect. I love it with spaghetti and the mozerella and eggplant get mixed in with it.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than a BBQ'd sirloin burger either. Done to perfection with a toasted roll.
And what is the problem with meatballs? What the hell are they putting in them. Gotta have homemade. Gotta go I'm getting hungry!
I will only eat a hot dog at home on the bbq, not anywhere else. I only like Kosher hot dogs where they don't put gross shit in them!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby shares in my love of buffalo wings, but prefers to eat them in a booth at the local diner rather than one of the tables in the middle!
