Anything spicy especially Indian street food like fuchka
@Leesahhhhh forgot to ask what's fuchka? Never heard of that :)
@ScrabbleBrain
It's a street food. It's crunchy on the outside filled with potatoes and tamarind juice. You can look it up in Google. It is delicious
@Leesahhhhh that sounds fun, I know pakoras have a thousand ingredients, potatoes, spinach, coriander.
Always interesting to find other foods :) Thank you for explaining it.
@ScrabbleBrain
You are wlc. What's your favorite food?
@Leesahhhhh Giggles, I have too many honestly. I could talk endlessly about food, all day every day.
It's really mood dependent because my tastebuds keep changing. I put anything into sandwiches. Egg rotis, slathered in butter is hard to beat for the mornings.
Some kinda pasta dish, it used to be lasagne, now it's probably macaroni and cheese.
I have the biggest sweet tooth, so cakes would light me up.
How about you? Anything you have to have regularly?
@ScrabbleBrainI
I also have a bit of sweet tooth haha, I need something sweet regularly or I will burst like chocolate or ice cream. My mom makes the best chicken curry so I crave that too.
@Leesahhhhh Lovely, you can't beat home cooking, the wonderful aromas, seasonings, all that preparation :)
@ScrabbleBrain
I agree 💯
What's your favorite home cooked meal??
@Leesahhhhh It used to be lasagne but now it's probably macaroni cheese or dumpling soup. How about you?
@ScrabbleBrain
Chicken curry or something simple like fried rice.
What about fast food?
@Leesahhhhh lol, you're making me hungry. I switch between salmon avocado sushi to burgers to fried chicken but trying to be sensible. What's your preferences?
@ScrabbleBrain
That's what I was thinking too🤤..
I like burgers.. or anything fried
@Leesahhhhh Tasty, what's your go to snack? Especially if you're watching a movie?
@ScrabbleBrain
Hmm.. I have too many favorites😭 like chips the spicer the better, chocolates especially dark chocolates. And I really love pickles if I am home and I need a quick snack. My mom makes the best pickles. I also live chocolate cookies or brownies. Ohh ice cream if I am craving a quick snack but not anything spicy. I love chocolate ice cream with chocolate cookies.
What about you? What's your favorite ice cream flavor? What's your opinion on mint?
@Leesahhhhh lol, you have great taste, dark chocolate with nuts is great as long as it's not too bitter.
I like mint with food, not so much drink, so not the biggest icecream fan, but actually mint cornettos are a weakness.
Have you ever tried After Eight fondant chocolates? simply amazing. Probably snack wise, crisps or veggies with a dip, chocolate pretzels are good
@ScrabbleBrain
No, I never tried that. But I agree pretzel are indeed good. There is something called honey pretzels that I like very much. Have you ever tried that?
Also do you like sour things? I love drinking spicy tamarind whenever I have a cold.
@Leesahhhhh I think I tried cinnamon pretzels but wasn't a fan. Just chocolate or plain mildly salted for me. I doubt I would like honey, I'm fussy ha.
I don't mind sweet and savoury or savoury on its own, nuts or olives or those stuffed peppers with cream cheese is really good
@ScrabbleBrain
I agree 💯. Nuts and olives are good. Have you ever tried olive pickles? My mom makes them around autumn. It's tastes so good. Nuts are also good, I keep a box of them by my study tables haha, Incase I get hungry late at night.
What's your favorite late night snack like when you are studying or something?
@Leesahhhhh wow olive pickles, that is a new one. Like gherkin/olive hybrid? Pickles for me sometimes taste too tangy to be enjoyable.
Thankfully long past studying and for me, late night eating/drinking, I can't do it. It doesn't settle my tummy.
Hmm back in the day..... Oh popcorn was fun, my friend got me into sweet and salty mix and I didn't think I would like it, but it's nice :) Before that it was buttered toffee..
@ScrabbleBrain
I tried sweet ones before, I also didn't like it haha. I actually never liked popcorns, it's too dull for my taste. Though I have good memories with it haha.
What about drinks? I am quit drinking coffee few days ago because I was becoming too depended on it haha. I am craving it like crazy.
@Leesahhhhh Funny you should say that, I gave up on popcorn too. Coffee I haven't drunk, since maybe I was teenager?
I was trying to think of things I could live without, coffee mean't milk, sugar and biscuits, so gave it up, switched to water.
What is your new alternative? For me it's water at home, and outdoors fruit juice, berries or citrus, huge fan.
It is tough at first and then you get used to it. Gosh the smell of coffee still makes me smile though :)
@ScrabbleBrain
I think it's lemon with just water and tea, yep definitely tea.
Soft drinks like coke makes me sleepy haha. Do you like soft drinks?
@Leesahhhhh Nice, lemonade was probably my favourite and vimto but now just plain water. We are having a lil heatwave here, I can't stop drinking. I can't wait for a rainstorm :)
Are you a biscuit fan?
@ScrabbleBrain
Omg same, here is a heatwave too.
Yea I am a biscuit fan. Chocolate biscuits or cookies are my favorite. There is oat biscuits, I love that too. What about you?
What's type of cookies or biscuits do you think goes best with milk?
@Leesahhhhh We are promised rain this week at long last so relieved :) Your selections are nice, nutty cookies are good hazelnut or pistachio or just plain peanuts.
I don't milk, when I was drinking coffee, hobnobs or choccy digestives were a favourite, my coffee was always a biscuity mess from the dunkages.
Have you tried slush puppies? Crushed iced with a fruity flavoured sugary syrup, so refreshing, I used to swim and grab one, blueberry with a blue tongue was my favourite, ha, fun
@ScrabbleBrain
Panipuri 😋
@trueconfidant123 Oh so smart, thank you. The funny thing is, there are so many dual names for things, I struggle to even explain it.
Puris I think we thought of as a flatbread, kinda white, and thin. I thought it was Chinese pancakes, same look, different flavour though.
Then there is dhal puri, another type of filled flatbread, more yellow lol
And more still there is bakes, which is yellow triangular, but really thick.
I miss homemade dhal, that's another peppery thing I don't mind :)
@ScrabbleBrain
I love daal, good source of protein. But daal filled puri, not so much. Pani Puri has several local names phuchka and golgappa for example.
@trueconfidant123 Do you drink your dhal or have it like a side dish? Most of the time, we seemed to drink it like lumpy soup. I preferred it ground fine, lil pepper kicks and kinda burning your mouth because it tasted better, piping hot
@ScrabbleBrain
Both ways. I also like to add jaggery to my dal. Love the hint of sweet.
@trueconfidant123 What's jaggery? I'm learning so much 😁 Dhal is one of the few things I like purely savoury, that strong jolt of savouryness. Never heard of it being sweet :)
@ScrabbleBrain
Jaggery or Gur is unrefined coarse brown sugar made from sugar cane juice or palm sap. My mom also adds powdered jaggery to my coffee. It's slightly healthier than refined sugar. I like the sweet dal better than peppery one.
@trueconfidant123 That's interesting, you are a wealth of information. My new googly woogly, who needs search engines 🤩
@ScrabbleBrain
Haha, always here to shower you with all the wisdom lol.
@trueconfidant123 and so modest, so eloquent, so stunning. I'm dazzled 😎
@trueconfidant123 This looks delicious!
@Leesahhhhh Spicy's awesome
@genericbeing
I know right, what your favorite spicy food??
@Leesahhhhh General Tso's chicken
@genericbeing
Ohhh, I didn't try it before. You like better chicken?
@Leesahhhhh Its sweet and also spicy hot
Damn yesss
Ikrrrr they are sososososo amazingggggg. Love them so much, they just brighten my mood
Everything, but today, pizza, rum babas, pakoras 😋
@ScrabbleBrain
Wait, what's your favourite pakora?
@trueconfidant123 This could get controversial..... We might be on opposing sides, this could fracture things.... But here goes...
Speaking from the heart, I've tried the chicken ones in supermarkets, not bad, but basic. The veggy ones were a treat, I don't even like spice that much..
But it has so many ingredients, seasonings, flavours, freshness, those are/will always be my favourite.
What's yours? *Deep breath* I can handle it..... *perspires, pacing back and forth nervously*
@genericbeing
Anything with chocolate!
Most things with rice!
Burgers and pitoguro(I m from greece)
Most Greek foods
Carbonara and stuff like thattttt
🫠🫠🫠
@cheerfulKiwi1776 Ah dude chocolate, yeah
@genericbeing
Yeah hahaa
Right now I could go for a huge bowl of chicken fried rice with yum yum sauce.
@TovaCares76 I'm not sure what that is but it sounds sweet
Yum yum sauce is another name for shrimp sauce? It's a sweet sauce that is so delicious on all kinds of things, but so good on rice!
@TovaCares76
What's yum yum sauce?
@trueconfidant123
It's the yummiest sauce ever! They serve it at the Japanese restaurants here for dipping your shrimp in, but it's good on chicken, on rice and veggies, it's just good :) Here's a recipe. Just whisk it all together and enjoy on some stuff!
- 1 Cup Mayonnaise
- ▢2 Tablespoons Ketchup
- ▢1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- ▢1/2 Tablespoon Paprika
- ▢2 teaspoons Rice Vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- ▢2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- ▢1-4 Tablespoons Water as needed
@TovaCares76
Oh wow. That sounds like an easy recipe. Something I could make at home. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
@genericbeing I'm a fan of tacos or General Tso's chicken
@genericbeing Chicken lollipop with Rice and Curd, and Chilli Paneer Pockets <3 :)
@fossilfellow
I loveee chicken. Also curd after lunch on summer noon, tastes amazinggg.
@Leesahhhhh Yupp 💗😋
@fossilfellow
Do you like sweets? Anything except curd maybe like chocolate or something?
@Leesahhhhh I love chocolate Ice-cream 💗 nd kitkats <3 wau?
@fossilfellow
Chicken lollipop yum 😋
@ACozyBynny 😋😋😋💖
@fossilfellow
Chilli Paneer is my first love 😋❤️
Not boots XD
@jesusredeemedme2425 But boots are tasty!
Chinese food 🤤
@mytwistedsoul
Chinese food is mwah
@trueconfidant123 mmm yes! 😋 All those looks so good!
Pastries! Especially samosa or patties!
@generousPineapple6613 yum, do you dip them in any sauces?
Not usually.
Though if I cook a pasty in the oven, I like pouring onion gravy on top of it!
@generousPineapple6613 Just when I thought it couldn't get any better 😍
Gravy makes most foods better 😁
@generousPineapple6613 sure does
Tiramisu!
@ACozyBunny Good taste, I never thought I'd like that but it's heavenly as is coffee cake
@ScrabbleBrain
It really is! 🤗
@ACozyBunny Do you make your own, or are you a store bought? For me stores lol
@ScrabbleBrain
I make my own! 😊
@ACozyBunny Even better, I got my spoon 😂
@ACozyBunny Even better, I got my spoon 😂
@ACozyBunny Even better, I got my fork 😂
@ACozyBunny Even better, I got my cutlery 😂
@ScrabbleBrain
I actually just made tiramisu a while ago! But you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for it to be ready 😔
@ACozyBunny Argh sorry for the spam, It kept saying error. I assumed the words were banned or something..
Hmm, no sneaky samples? I'm not that disciplined to wait 😂
@ScrabbleBrain
Haha it’s alright. You can have a sneaky sample but tiramisu only tastes good after it sets for atleast 8 hours in the fridge!
@ACozyBunny Thanks for the sneak preview, 8 hours, wow that's a long time, might switch to something instant, like doughnuts, jam and cream, or plain sugared.. 🍩
@ScrabbleBrain
It’s definitely worth the wait though! And I made a tiramisu latte with the leftover cream to satisfy my hunger temporarily 😋
@ACozyBunny You are so clever :)
@ACozyBunny I don't think I ever had that
@genericbeing
It’s really good and tastes just like tiramisu in liquid form 😋
@genericbeing
Oh wait you meant tiramisu, my bad 😅
It’s a really nice summer dessert! You’ll love it if you love coffee and chocolate 😊
@ACozyBunny Sounds great
@ACozyBunny
