    In my experience of eating (considerable!)

    I think most food if fresh, cooked well and seasoned properly will taste really good. I am a big fan of when travelling/on holiday/vacations, to sample the local food and drink when you can. When seafood is fresh, its hard to beat for me with a glass or two of cold dry white wine.

    And a cheese sandwich is always good!

    I prefer milk and dark chocolate, I don't like white chocolate, in my opinion it doesn't taste much like chocolate, but that's just my opinion;)
    It looks like you are a healthy eater;):p

    I do really enjoy food and the culture behind it and consider myself a average foodie

    Whenever I visit a restaurant or a new place or anything, I need to try something new. I rarely ever order something twice. To me food is always about new experiences and trying new things out!

    Among my favorites definitely are sushi, curry (all sorts), udon dishes, burgers (comfort food...), Dragonfruits and I like anything with a flame to it.
    Though I have to admit that my SHU tolerance is now that high (yet, I aim to tackle this one day). I recently bought a ramen noodles that has a SHU of 8,706.. Hope these will do well...
    Also a great lover of dark chocolate (usually between 87 and 95% pure dark)
    Won't say no to a good smoothie either, especially iced ones.

    Now my food habits and adventures are still rather limited due to that I live at home where trying out new foods is not really a common thing. So I have to do with trying all sorts of foods at take-outs or through friends.

    Most exotic I've had probably was wallaby steak at a restaurant here. Incredibly juicy and tender. Literally will melt in your mouth. Recommend it to anyone who can get hold of it to try it out.
    Another one is guineafowl, not perse that exotic, but a funny one given I actually managed to take this as my meal choice while I was in the hospital.

    One day I definitely want to travel a lot through the world to explore the food cultures around the globe, and maybe learn a thing or two about the way to cook with such foods.

    Oh and at last, I really don't like most of the Dutch cuisine.. It's just so bland and boring...

    Why is there a stigma about enjoying Haggis?

    I actually prefer sashimi over sushi.Don't really get why sushi is so much more popular.

    Not gonna lie people are prolly gonna find that my topping for steak is weird… I drizzle honey on steak. But it’s actually a fantastic combination. I was skeptical at first but now… I love it.
    And it’s gotta be rare or medium rare for me personally.

    For me it is curry (I like Japanese the best), lasagna, and fried chicken. I am also a sucker for street food such as takoyaki , hot dogs, stuffed mussels, kokoretsi, and soft serve ice cream.

    For drinks there is water, club soda, milkshake (strawberry and vanilla), and tea

    Eh it ain't that weird, I had a habbit of shaking cinnamon on lamb chops.

    You often use honey in glazes and such,so I don't think that it's that weird.

    Bringing back this thread, nothing beats Nasi Goreng (fried rice) here. Every bite of it is just heavenly.

    As Burns night approaches (25th Jan) ...... or forget Burns night if you wish :D

    Haggis is one of the finest gastronomical developments ever developed, pure beauty made out of the finest ingredients. A Luxury of the Scottish first, secondly a British feat of culinary masterclass.

    Nothing beats a bowl of cream-of-mushroom soup on a cold day with a side of sourdough bread, it's a shame that I now live in a tropical country where the air is always going to be hot.

    As a fellow Indonesian, I agree. I'm particularly fond of ones that use salty soy sauce as a base (as opposed to sweet/kecap manis).

    Pizza, red wine, lasagne, pasta esp alfredo, pizza, beer, pizza, more pasta, white wine, olives, pasta, retsina, calamari, lasagne. Ad nauseam. And best of all, pizza in Italy which is nothing like American pizza and even more delicious, with red wine of course. Preferably in southeast Italy away from the tourists. Bliss
