    What are your favorite types of cuisine to eat and/or cook? Does it depend on the day or your mood?

    Does the heat bother you from time to time?

    How do you like your coffee and what are your favorite types of bread?

    Movingfeet food quiz answers:

    a) I like hot food, and when tempered by sweetness it doesn't really feel hot at all.

    b) Coffee. I buy excellent dark-roasted beans in Nicaragua and suffer Japanese supermarket coffee when they run out. Drink it strong with hot milk and a little sugar.

    c) Bread must be tasty, doughy and white. Good quality flour makes all the difference. Classic English loaf, proper baguette, focaccia, khoubz, naan. Love 'em all.

    Oh.. so Japanese coffee is not that good? What's the difference in taste?

    I love food and learning about cooking.  There are people from different backgrounds here so I am very interested in the responses.

    I love bread. In Egypt, the word for bread is also the word used for the verb "live".

    Interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaffir_lime

    Quote
    Citrus hystrix, commonly known in English as kaffir lime, is a fruit native to Indochinese and Malesian ecoregions in India, Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, and adjacent countries. It is used in Southeast Asian cuisine.

    Citrus hystrix is a thorny bush, 5-10m tall, with aromatic and distinctively shaped "double" leaves. The kaffir lime is a rough, bumpy green fruit. The green lime fruit is distinguished by its bumpy exterior and its small size (approx. 4 cm (2 in) wide).

    How do you like your ham prepared and what do you like about it?

    What are your favorite types of cheese?

    Movingfeet food quiz answers - part deux:

    a) The problem is supermarket coffee in general, though Japanese supermarkets sell nastier stuff than their British counterparts. Same goes for wine. Both are foreign imports and, despite Japan's deep food culture, people simply do not know what decent coffee and wine are like. The supermarket buyers either don't know themselves or exploit the gullibility of their customers. I suspect the latter.

    b) All good cheese is good, preferably unpasteurised from small producers. Well-known stuff I like includes Stilton, Gruyere, Manchego and Pont l'Eveque (the list is endless). Much as I love Halloumi, Eastern Mediterranean cheese is a bit too salty. Nicaraguan cheese is ten times saltier again with half the taste. It keeps out of the fridge in a tropical country where many lack fridges.

    c) All good ham, which means not injected with too much chemical crap. British ham carved from the bone and Spanish Serrano are my favourites. Parma ham is more famous, but less good that its Spanish equivalent.

    Thai salads are not known to many people that are not Thai and they really are a gem.

    Here's my favourite:

    And the salad's not bad either.

    I like mixing and matching cuisine. Tonight I am doing a mix of Alexandrian cuisine with some Italian spices. Whole tilapia with rice on the side. Rice was browned with butter before boiling in a mixture of milk and water.

    My favorite food is vegetable. I can feel it, when I need to eat something green, I swear.
    But my favorite things to cook are recipes I have tweaked to make just right for myself. Weird fusions by necessity or curiosity.
    Like if you add a little bit of sugar to a shrimp Creole, when it is nearly finished, you end up with a quick and easy Szechuan shrimp, light on the spice for children.
    Or if you change the Phyllo to a no-knead first rise flatbread dough on a spinach feta pie, and divvy up the filling and wrap it in dough like Spanakopitas, you get Fatayer, on steroids.
    Take an apple pie, get rid of the crust, and use Phyllo instead.
    German coffeecakes. Enough said. Heart attack stuff.
    I try to remember to write it down.
    So good. I think I just ate a week's worth of food in my imagination.

    Me too. I'm a blood-spattered carnivore who eats more greens than any vegetarian I have ever met.

    One of the problems of travelling and eating out all the time is that one never gets enougth veg. Home food rulez.
