MyLot is indeed a wonderful community with members from countries around the world. It is always very interesting to learn about one anothers' ways of life. And, that certainly includes the foods one likes. My interest now is regarding special items on the menus people enjoy. For me, when I go to restaurants for lunch or dinner, I would every time start with a plate of salad. That is indeed one of my favorites. I have been to Thailand a few times, and I noted that "tomyumkung",a soup, is a speciality. What about for you ? What is a special item on the lunch or dinner menu ?

Hi Greenline,
I live in Maryland. Crabcakes are a specialty that Maryland is known for. I just love crabcakes. When I go out to lunch or dinner, I always order a crabcake sandwich. Crabcake sandwiches are served with french fries and cole slaw on the side. Crabcake sandwiches are absolutely delicious!

Hello Manda. How are you ? I have been to Maryland, to Baltimore, a very nice city. But, I missed the chance of having crabcake. I will remember that. The next time I come there, I will make sure I won't miss the chance. Thank you.

I don't go to a restaurant and then see if I will like something , it is in reverse. I Have to know they have either a burger or a pizza or I will not go. So 95% of the time by the time I walk into the restaurant , I know what I want to eat.

I love buffets. I can try a little something and not waste too much food if I don't like it. I think that is how I tried pizza for the first time!

That's why I enjoy buffets. I could choose only the items I would want to eat. I am not a vegetarian, but I do prefer veggies to meat dishes. When I go to buffets, my plate would always be more that half-full with veggies.

Hello Sarah. How are you today ? Sounds like burger and pizza are you favorites. Well, of course, there would be many choices for restaurants. In fact, I am thinking of going to a restaurant serving buffet dinner this evening.

That would be very nice to relax and enjoy lunch or dinner while watching TV. May be if you would keep a stack of water bottles in the hall, that would be quite convenient too ! Have a nice day !

hi greenline I am an A merican, actually a C al ifornian too but I love Italian food and spagheti with Italian meat balls and shrimp scampi are some of my favorites. also I love steak well done with a baked potato with sour cream and chives. my idea of a great breakfast eating out is hash browns,eggs over easy and rye toast with lots of hot black coffee. I also like to start with a salad
too.

Popular food for lunch is a soup and salad. There are variations like soup and sandwich or a salad and sandwich as well. Dinners here are quite heavier though. There are a variety of restaurants from different cultures here to choose from. I like the Chinese Buffer here very much. I like trying new things and if I see something I'm curious about, I can try a little and see if I like it. I guess one of the most popular dishes here that is traditional would be Steak and baked potato. Pizza is also very popular...there are alot of different kinds of it now to choose from. My personal favorite right now is Chicken Alfredo Pizza. Oh..it is so good. It has a white sauce on it instead of a red tomato sauce. I know how to fix it at home too...it is actually very easy.
Anyway...I do love a good salad too...I am crazy about Ranch dressing on it although I know it isn't the best thing for me..lol.

Hello Jen. That's very interesting ! There is a huge Chinatown here in the city, with many very nice restaurants. I go there quite often to enjoy buffet lunch and dinner. You are invited to enjoy a delicious Chinese buffet !

That sounds very delicious. I have tried Indian foods, and I like them very much. Bhaji means vegetables , right ? When I go to Indian restaurants here in the city, I order puri with bhaji. That is really yummy, yummy ! Thank you.
