We all have our favorite food items. Some times it can be something basic or sometimes it can be something really exotic! I myself like to eat simple non fussy food most of the time. But I do love certain dishes a lot.. Although I dont eat meat, I still love well prepared Chicken Biriyani, I eat just the rice which tastes so yummy! And I love Chinese food especially their soups which are tasty and filling. I also like Italian food.. My alltime favorite fast food is Filet o fish burger at Mcdonalds, I simply love the taste , and their Chocolate milk shake.. friends please share your food choices here, am sure it is going to be varied and interesting..

Junk food is nice but not if you eat it every day. I like all kinds of food especially Italian things.

I like simple , hot basic food--rice, rasam and all vegetables. I have a partiality for vegetables and fruits. I ahev a sweet tooth and love chocolates, Badam halwa. I don't touch cheese, paneer, Pizza etc.., not for any weight consideration but becauseI do not fancy these milk products right from young.Ice cream is an exception but here too, if it is naturals where there is no mix or flavouring then I can't have it when it is with the pure good smell of milk alone.

And do you make these sweets also? I make really good badam halwa, though my shoulders ache nowadays and this is reserved only for special occasions. Ha! You seem to know rasam. Then what is your mother tongue?

Hi kalav, I do make Badam halwa and other sweets like coconut barfi, carrot halwa and Rava Ladoos. I come from Karnataka, Mangalore precisely and I speak Tulu. How about you kalav? where are you from ?

Hi kalav, i too love Rasam, rice, sambhar etc;; at the same time i love pizzas and other kinds of food as well. Badam halwa is my favorite too. There was a time when i used to buy a lot of sweets and keep them at home so that i could eat after every meal. But now i dont do it and have hard time controlling myself. Sometimes i give in and buy a lot of sweets though..

I love cheese, all different types I have it on everything I can, it's a shame it's so fattening as I always have to try and reduce how much I'm eating so i don't get anymore over weight.

I am with you!!..I love cheese!..If I dont have cheese, then I dont have any groceries!! It is a staple of my life that goes on everything!! I know it isnt good..but there are some lower fat cheese that arent too bad. Usually I dont like low fat stuff..afterall, its the fat that makes it taste good!!

I really love sweets. I can eat cookies and cake for a meal. it's really unhealthy. Plus it makes me fat. But I love sweets. My kind of meal would be one with a lot of starch, such as pancakes, burgers, and fried food. I do eat healthy food too like salads. I actually eat a lot of salads just to be more healthy. Sadly, my favorites are always the sweet and deadly kind. :(

i mostly like the non vegetarian dishes and mostly chicken. i would try different dishes of chicken with different kind of roties and breads. the most i like is tandoori and fried items. i know biryani really tastes awesome and in vegetarian dishes i would like to have paneer masala and related items. i would like spicy food and yes chineese is also good and mostly the fried rice. but all this items really contains fats a lot and hence need to take a little precautions. on the healthier side i would prefer strawberry milkshake and it is also tastier.

I used to eat any kinds of food before but since i've got diabetes already, i've learned how to settle for healthier options such as fish, veggies, fruits and high fiber foods.. i'm not allowed to eat red meat(pork, beef and some parts of the chicken) because it isn't good for my kidney.. but it's okay because i'm enjoying my new heatlhy lifestyle now..=)

I love biryani too, but with the chicken marinated in spices, it just tingles your tasted budds and leave's you asking for more, even if your eyes are watering with the intensity of the spices. :) I prefer pasta or sphagetti, it's not that easy to handle but it's filling, and it never leaves you asking for any more, sometimes pizza, does the trick if your'e feeling bored, pizza tastes the best at the time of boredom. I know it sounds weird, but that's what happens with me, haven't you noticed?

Well, some of my favorite foods would have to be either Prime Rib, Lobster or Shrimp. If I could be at a place that offered all 3 of these at least once a month and have them all together, I would be in Heaven. But my pocketbook unless it is an all you can eat place would not allow for this for sure. But I do get to eat Prime Rib and shrimp a little more than the lobster when I can afford it, so that is a little bit more of a plus for sure... But the one of the Best places I have found for Good Lobster is Red Lobster.

My favorite food is any food that is taste good. Hehe... so basic. Im not that really into favoritism for specific food, i like Indonesian food, malayan food, vietnam culinary food, japanese food, korean food, filipino food, chinese food, italian food, german food... i cant limited myself for particular food i love, as long as the taste is great and i can still afford to buy them. But among the food i ever eat, i really into chili and hot spicy food because it makes my tongue dancing-- ahahha. tongue dances? Haha. But i really like the sensation burned in my mouth when i eat any hot spicy food. I usually drink hot tea when im eating the hot spicy food, so i got double hot in my mouth. Wow, amazing. Some people say, i may be too much when eating chili, but its really me, i was raising in the tribe in indonesia that eat hot and spicy food. Everyday in mylife, my mom always cook for me the hot and spicy food, even the noodles, even fried chicken we have a very delicious sweet hot and spicy sauce... hm... right now, im getting droll... hmm... i must be in feeling hungry while im typing this comment, im really imagine that chicken is already in front of me, i'll catch them and put it into the hot sauce and eat the chicken. I will add more hot rice hm... and i'll get my hot green tea after that.

Basically, i don't select any food, i think all the foods and vegetables have their own nutrition. Absorbed balance is the best way for my health. But if you ask me what i best like, i think i enjoy fish. No matter how way to cook this, deep-fried, baked, sweet and sour fish, i also like. I like their tasting, very delicious.
