Hi,
I said dominoes is cheeper here. I must agree, payig $17 is ridiculous. That place you're talking about--I might have to take a trip over there; it'll only take 10 hours or so.

I  live in New Hampshire, which for those of you who might not know ware that is it is directly north of Massachusetts.
I  say this because another thing that I've noticed that us new englanders tend to love is real maple surrope. Although it is a  little more expensive than the fake stuff, it is worthit.
After I  tried the stuff as a  kid I  never looked at the fake stuff the same way again.
As for Dominos, I  love their pizza. I  mean for one its usually cut before you get it so that when you pull out a  piece you don't have to struggle with separatingthe slice from the rest of the pizza.
Another thing I  have noticed is their pizza seems to have vary little grease on it. Which I  like because I'm not a  fan of grease.
For a  while I  think Dominos even had a  deal whare you could get three pizza's for 15 dollars? Maybe I'm wrong about that one.
Another food I  like though is bagels. I  usually just eat the store bought ones. Though once in  a  while I  go to this bagel shop down town that makes their bagels right their home made! Boy is that a  treat.

I  agree with you 100 percent.
I  have to admit I  am guilty of being fussy about what I  eat sometimes. And I  feel bad  about doing that. My mom grew up in Vermont. Her family didn't have much money. Whatever they ate, came from either the vegetables that they grew off the land. If they ate meat it was from the cows or pigs they raised. Their were six children all together. so this was quite challenging at times.

I have no rules!  Food is edible!  Food must be taken care of whenever, wherever, and if you must be the one to take care of it, well then, my good ladies and gentlemen, I suggest you do it!  :d

Dark, I can totaly understand why you just won't touch certain things, particularly those that'll make you sicker than sick.  Never, my good sir, would I ask you to kill yourself, no matter how loony you happen to be, and you're pretty crazy as far as my book goes, you and your way with words and phrasing concepts, all in a good way. I can't tell you how many times you've made me laugh with your sense of humor, but that's another story.

What I take issue with is people who are just flat out ungreatful.  I can't tell you how many times I've seen people who, when presented with something as being the only choice they had, and when said something was not the something they wanted, would throw a hissy fit because they couldn't have exactly what they were craving at that minute.  Another thing, people who buy you food are not to fault if what you get is not what you wanted, especially if they simply happened to be thinking about you, say you happened to be visiting or something, and they bought it for you as an act of kindness and consideration.  Not eating it is acceptible in my book, if you really don't want it, but going on and on and on about how you don't like it is not.  Just the way I work.

The way human nature goes, we just can't like everything.  Some people say that if you work at it hard enough, you can convince your mind... Tell yourself you like this thing and that, well stick yourself in a nice big bed full of spiders and like it.  You get the picture.  This is my way of viewing things, the next person's view shall differ even if only slightly.

You're right, Dark, and I guess it does no good for me to get so worked up about it, but that's the way it is.  Sorry to hear about the school issue.  Actually, school was one of the reasons I never ate much, as I was never fond of the foods there.  I'm glad the teachers were never forceful about it.  I'm truly sorry you endured that.

I must admit that there are some pretty strange cravings out there, and some that just make my stomach turn at the very mention of them.  For instance, I have never understood how anyone can dip their fries in ice cream and like it.  This is beyond me in every sense, but I know a couple of people who do it and say it's good.

I purely dislike onions and am not too fond of tomatos, though I will eat them if present in a burger or cooked in other things I had no hand in making, which is just about everything else as I don't cook.

Not a big fan of rabit food, carrot sticks, celery, etc.  There's a few fruits I don't care for either, mangos and honeydew melon are on that list, but I lovelovelovelove plums and peaches and oranges and apples and just about everything else in the orchard.

Nope wp, thanks giving I think is a uniquely American festival.

Instead, we hav guy forks night, which involves fireworks and some lovely grub, bonfire toffee, usually a bbq, jackit potatoes with things in, hotdogs etc, thoughreally only the toffe is traditional.

It does however confuse me why we celibrate someone not! blowing up parliament, the way governments have been in the  last few years, I'd be more inclined to celibrate if someone was successful ;D.

As to the school yes, they were evil and stuck in the 19th century. that's also where my dislike of institutionalized blind  people come from sinse that was a specialist school, though i only went for two years.

As to fruite nocturnus, juice is great, but the only fruites I eat in actual solid state are aples and bananas, same goes for tomatoes.

If their in a stew, ie, not solid that's fine, but in any sort of solid form they just make my stomach  turn, this includes on burgers, pizzas, or whatever.

for salad, well I can generally get through the bog standard rabbit food (though I  find colslaw also makes me feel ill due to texture), but  given choice I prefer my vedge cooked!

It actually really irritates me that lots of places now just serve salad and don't offer an option like brockaly, pease or some other cooked vedge, sinse I not only much prefer this, but actually really like it.

When I was last at my parents, we went to a friends' who cooked roast beef with all the trimmings, yorkshire pudding, mash, carrots, cabbage and mustard, ---- lovely!

everything in this topics sound so good. As for some of my favorit foods... Pizza has to be up there close to the top if not at the top. I got a small one from dominos a little while ago. My only problem was and still is that a small Pacific Veggie Pizza with a 20 OZ charry coke cost me $17.32. I tipped the guy who delivered pretty well because he kindof had to come looking for me. nind you, I wasn't hard to find. I also like my posta. Most of the time, homegrown fruit and vegies is usually what I'm after because I don't get much of that. Don't even get me started on the sweets. Some of these include milky wades, snickers, cake of almost any kind, Ice creams (to many flavers to list here). No wunder I'm so fat... LOL.

In a recent discussion apparently lots of stuff in America contains lots of corn syrop so things are sweeter over there, in fact a friend ofmine was recently complaining that even the bread in the Us tastes sweet which he just finds wrong.

funny you mentioning 17 usd for a small (I presume 10 inch), pizza andcoak Cw, that's to me quite reasonable given uk prices, though as I said i much prefer home made god local pizza.

I recently visited my brother and tried poppa john's for the first time, and while it was nice, i wreckon my local place is actually better, not to mention far less stingy with the topings.

Interestingly enough I've just been at a music school sinse Thursday (the reason I haven't been able to post, sinse I could never get the wireless network in the guest house I was staying in to work porperly, and while I was just about able to check my mail on the bog standard bt anywhere connection, it's a bit slow for forum brousing).

However, the relevant bit of all that is that they had the most amazig breakfasts.

Not only the full English, Bacon, eggs, sausages, mushrooms etc, but also some unusual stuff.

this morning i had smoked haddock fish cake toppe with scrambled egg and toast, followed by some absolutely fantastic cresants home made, not to mention freshly made pancakes and mapal syrop, which is really! unusual (the first time I've seen it served at breakfast in this Country).

they also had home made muffins each morning too.

A perfect breakfast for a day of singing, and certain when i go back to this particula music school I'll deffinately stay there again!

oh, I forgot to say, I like yogurt really really really really much

Hmmm, festival holiday? I'm confused as to the difference there Haiden.

I simply meant  you have certain food you traditionally eat and traditions (possibly differing depending upon where in the us you are), which you enact at that time, rather the same way guy forks night over here can vary too.

I think 17 usd in Uk terms cw is somewhere in the region of ten or eleven pounds, and sinse at dominoes over here a small pizza is about 13 on it's own you see my point.

As I said before, from my extremely nice local pizza place I can get a ten inch, a side order (usually onion rings), chocolate cake and a drink with delivery all for 9 pounds, ---- or I believe 15 dollars, which is another reason I go there apart from their amazing pizza.

Funny thing about breakfast, that just sounds strange to me with the peppers and such, --- and while I know by Biscuites and gravy you mean something like pancakes, over on this side of the atlantic "biscuites" only really refers to what in the Us are called cookies, ---- which makes the sound of having them with gravy very strange!

TraditionalEnglish breakfast is bacon (and not over fried to crispy point either), beans or grilled tomatoes, sausages, scrambled or fried eggs, hash browns, toast, and (especially in the north where I am), black pudding, followed by toast and honey, marmalade or jam. sometimes with porridge, yoggert or fruite as another course.

Often these days elements of continental breakfast get mixed in too, so you get cressents, muffins, occasionally danish pastries, sometimes ham and chease for the toast or bread, pan o chocolate and the like.

In some places, often fish can substitute for bacon and sausage, particularly smoked sammon, hence the fishcakes with scrambled eggs.

in fact it's sort of a family tradition for breakfast on christmas morning.

Pancakes and mapal syrup are as I said, very uncommon, in fact the guest house is the first time I've seen them offered at breakfast over here at all, ---- stil, they were really nice so I'm not complaining.

Yee gods, I missed it this morning now i'm back ;D.

Ah, probably a terminology difference then. Yes, I'd say christmas is indeed a festival.

after reading this topic and just about dying for food, I have to throw my two cents in hahaha. i'll eat most anything but my favorite foods have to be pizza, a really good chili it has to be cooked, right, I like mine kinnda thick and not all soupy, and curry, especially with shrimp and crab. coffee is definietely a must have for me I have to have ground beans, only I couldn't find a decent hand grinder so bought a coffee maker with built-in grinder. and before dark goes into coffee fits it brews at the proper 200 degrees f temp. hahaha.
