Your Food and Drink

[WhichDawg]

Talking to boss Mickyd I was wondering what local, favorite foods you grew up with and enjoy.

I am Mexican but born and raised in the USA (legal!) so I have a really mixed pallet.
Like I luv Menudo which is spicy tripe soup that many do not like.
Until moving here, roast Turkey was my favorite, but now it's King Crab Legs!

Back in Chicago I had so much to choose from but out West here, not so much variety
or quality.

Seafood is big here (yay) Crab legs/Dungeness Crab is really popular and inexpensive here.
Tons of beer/micro brews (which I haven't gotten around to sampling, dohh)

from the restaurant here;


and from the market and we heat up ourselves;

that knife is over 15" long!

I like the traditional Scottish fare of smoked fish ,porridge(oatmeal)and my own personal favourite haggis with swede and new potatoes.But most kids are being raised on a diet of McDonalds,Pizza Hut and deep fried Mars Bars our most popular national dish at the moment is curry

Hey gotta luv the oatmeal/Porridge 

[WhichDawg]

what do you put in your porridge/oatmeal? I like brown sugar and a little milk,
sometimes butter. my gf puts fruit juice in hers, she likes cranberry juice best.

[Poncho65]

I like sugar, cinnamon and butter

On occasions like weddingd, graduations, birthday, baptism or family get together party, holiday season there is always lechon (roasted piglet). The piglet is stuff with lemon grass, garlic, onions and of course salt and slowly roasted over charcoal for 3 hours. When cooked the skin is so crunchy.

On the odd occasion I put a little milk in but more often I have it just as it comes no sugar etc

One of my favorite meals is a big porterhouse steak(Rare to medium rare) cooked on a grill with a few seasonings but not so much it covers the taste of the meat. Some shrimp cooked on the grill in aluminum foil, basted with garlic butter and some red potatoes, boiled in water on the stove with gobs and gobs of butter on it. As a drink, I'll either take an iced tea(sweetened or unsweetened, either way it's good) or maybe a Dr Pepper. Or if I'm in the mood maybe a good wheat beer.

that sounds great, I gotta try that

I've had that Eddie (the whole piggy), it is crunchy! chi-cha-rones we call it (pig rhine/skin)
Mexicans eat just that, dad luv'd it. and Puerto ricans also have Lechon,
very good stuff.
