List some foods you swear are manna from heaven

[prolesunited]

(just an expression, not trying to exclude atheists and other non-heaven faiths)


I could live on top quality ice cream and gourmet chocolate. But, then again, I would be like 500 pounds.

What's on your list?

[Moochy]

1. Garlic Mashed Potatoes with butter

mmmm

[two gun sid]

2. Pinto beans and cornbread.

I grew up eating them and I still love them.

[Clintmax]

29. Me too, Sid!

I don't get to eat them very often, but I love them too!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

3. Fried chicken liver

At a pasta & chicken rodízio near where I work. Yum yum!

Oh, and the fried polenta from the same place is killer too!

[xray s]

4. baklava

[prolesunited]

8. Mmmmm...

That's tasty. I went to a Greek fest this summer and at some of the authentic, homemade stuff.

[KitchenWitch]

5. Falafel, gyros, hummas, enchiladas

BBQ pork ribs, Rib Eye Steaks, Spicy Tuna Roll sushi, coconut shrimp and shrimp tempura.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

11. Someone said falafel...

:evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

20. the FOOD, freak

not the FREEPTOID! :grr: :rofl:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

39. OK, I guess I was mistaken...MAYBE...

:spank:

[GOPisEvil]

23. I agree with your list 100%. I add baked ziti with meatballs and dark choc

:)

[KitchenWitch]

26. yeah, what you said!

Dark chocolate is nectar from the gods.

[GOPisEvil]

27. Actually, theobroma cacao means "food of the gods".

And theobroma cacao is the plant from which comes chocolate. :9

[KitchenWitch]

30. Then we are both right

:9

[tedoll78]

6. My momma's gumbo..

and Blue Bell Cookies 'n Cream Ice Cream. Yum!

[Left Is Write]

7. Lefse, macaroni with real butter and real Parmesan cheese

(as opposed to the cardboard-in-a-can stuff), homemade waffles with homemade syrup, Mom's cinnamon rolls, mashed potatoes and homemade beef gravy, fall-apart tender roast beef, almost any premium ice cream, fresh apple pie, hot-out-of-the fryer mini doughnuts at the fair, Pronto Pups at the fair, Mom's Christmas meatballs, crisp and buttery sandbakkelse...I could go on, but I'm afraid I'll gain weight just reading the list.

[mcscajun]

9. Bananas Foster for starters...

...Lobster Salad

...Peach Melba

...Risotto with Grilled Shrimp

...Pepperoni Pizza

...MORE Pepperoni Pizza

...Mu Shu Pork

...Hot Oatmeal in the winter...with Raisins, Brown Sugar, and Half-and-Half. Heaven in a bowl.

[datasuspect]

10. jesus crisps

you know, that stuff they feed you at church.

[prolesunited]

15. Do you chew

or let it dissolve?

[datasuspect]

17. i scarf them by the handful

i like to liberally sprinkle them with a good white melting cheese (queso chihuaha is a fave) and nuke em for a few minutes.

pour some salsa verde on it and you have a messianic fiestalicious holy treat!

[pitohui]

12. foie gras

but the fried chicken liver poster isn't wrong either

[lazarus]

13. toro

the belly meat of a tuna, nice and fatty. Raw and fresh. Damned fine.

After that, I list all forms of sushi.

Then cheese.

[Squatch]

14. I hear manna hails from heaven.

Though black truffles and venison will do in a pinch.

[Sabriel]

16. Warm fresh-baked bread with butter

Barring that, a piece of Leonidas chocolate. Mmmm.

[TimeChaser]

18. My aunt's spring rolls

Well, they're not really spring rolls, exactly, but that's what we call them. They're some hybrid of Filipino and Cajun cooking.

[MuseRider]

Edamame.

I am eating some right now. A little Sesame oil and Kosher salt and Mmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmmmmmm. Better than popcorn. I love it. Otherwise? Lamb Tika Masala. I could eat that every meal except for the Edamame, I would have to trade off.

[MissB]

19. Mochi.

[Moochy]

34. I am rather tasty

hey i resemble that

[Ikonoklast]

21. Pierogis with onions and sour cream

Boiled first, then fried in real butter till lightly brown and crisp on the outside. Sauerkraut, potato, cottage cheese, damn near any kind come to think of it.

Asiago cheese bagels.

Pecan pie.

Damn, I'm hungry now.

[prolesunited]

24. We went to a pierogi fest

this past weekend. Over the summer, I can dine around the world in 90 days.

[NaturalHigh]

22. Del Rancho Steak Sandwiches

Of course, if you're not from Oklahoma, you've probably never heard of them. The chicken fried steak is about twice the size of the bun.

[Floogeldy]

25. Taquitos!

:)

[JimmyJazz]

28. I'm just sorta waiting for someone to say something really non-kosher

like, "lobster" or something. :crazy:

[nytemare]

31. Jaegerschnitzel and tiramisu!

Yum.

[WindRavenX]

32. Inari

[prolesunited]

40. Where do you find it?

Does it come from a particular ethnic cuisine?

[Moochy]

35. you know what ?

BABY PANDAS!

[Pab Sungenis]

36. My mother's mozzarella-core meatloaf.

The secret is to mix half a jar of mild salsa in with the ground beef, and use crumbled Ritz crackers instead of breadcrumbs.

Edit to correct spelling of "mozzarella." Bad Italian boy! Bad!

[Catbird]

38. Fresh strawberries just picked nt/

[benny05]

41. My Momma's desserts

Chocolate pie (with a slightly browned medium meringue)

Black plum cobbler (with cinnamon and sugar on top of the homemade crust)

Banana puddin' made from scratch, layered with Nilla wafers

and her homemade stew...

I'm now in the mood for her comfort food since I am laid up with a dislocated patella on my right knee...
