My Typical Kind of Food

in Foodies Bee Hive2 years ago (edited)

I love food, as long as it doesn't have any funny smell or taste. So when I was reading the Favorite Dinner prompt by @mypathtofire for the Ecency Discord topic for the week, nothing special popped up on my mind because we really don't have something specific for dinner. We eat pretty much any dish, mostly with rice.

When I am alone though, I would just have coffee or hot chocolate paired with sandwich from breakfast to dinner, lol! I'm often uninspired to cook because I consume less anyway and sandwich is the easiest one to make. Just poach an egg or two (or do a sunny side up), open a can of spam, slice and fry them. If there are lettuce and cucumber, I'd add them. If there's none, then I have what the husband calls a bare sandwich, with just an egg, spam and bread spread, lol! Sometimes, I just have sliced bananas on a bun or on a few slices of bread, splash a bit of sweetened milk and that's it.



This is also what I used to enjoy way back in my youth and even when I was away. Just bread with butter, sandwich or at times pasta. I'd say it's something that haven't changed over the years.

When I feel like it, I'd go for noodles, mostly the instant ones. I just boil water, soak them up, drain them after a few minutes, mix in the sauce and that's it. Usually, I would add an egg too - either sunny side up, poached or on rare occasions, hard boiled. I sometimes have noodle in soup especially when it's cold.

But when the husband is around, we would not miss rice. It's his staple food. He can't go a day without it. When we eat out, we usually have a set meal, a platter with two or three variety of food on it like this one having a piece of fried chicken, pancit, a few slices of fried or grilled pork, and of course a cup of rice.



We love pancit and it's one that we often have when eating out. We have sort of an attachment to it. This is also a dish that is mostly present in celebrations like birthdays, weddings, Christmas even, not only in ours but in most Filipino homes.



The husband has a heart for cooking and sometimes experiment on things. Like this deep-fried eggplant dipped in cornstarch that he made sometime ago. It tasted good but really greasy so he won't be making it again.



Yesterday evening, he made roasted some eggplant. He could have baked them but it takes a lot longer. And he knows I don't like greasy food so he didn't fry them. The house was smoky when he was done, lol! And for some reason, it didn't occur to me to take photos of the dish but here's how it looks while on the pan.

He then splashed the dish with soy sauce so it looked more appetizing (like below photo) when he served it. He added a few slices of ham and dinner was ready. I would say this is one dish that we both love and can have now and then.

We also love potatoes, but I don't like having them for dinner because I always feel hungry during the night, lol! I don't know, perhaps the starch on them. When we have potatoes (in any form of cooking), I observed that my stomach doesn't feel right. Below was something he made for dinner sometime ago of potatoes and fried drumstick (chicken legs).



There are other food we enjoy but like the above, they aren't anything fancy. So what's my favorite then? I couldn't choose any single one. But if there is one I can have any time of the day, it would be none other than sandwich, lol!

This is my participation to this week's Ed topic. Check it out and perhaps, share yours too!

4 slices of white toast, hot.
Spread with peanut butter, plain or nutty for added texture.
1 Banana, ripe, but not bruised.

Stick your finger up the butt (seed point) of the banana and split into its 3 natural segments. Cut those in half and arrange 3 halves on each peanut butter sandwich. Enjoy.

You're welcome. XD

Aha! Banana split on bread :) I love that. Thank you ❤️

Ang sasarap. Sa Good Taste ba yung may chicken at pansit? Hehe

Haha, seems you've been to Good Taste. Not though, many restaurants here serve pansit just like GT hehe.

These all are familiar to me and it is very interesting for me to see the similar food and miss it ahahha. Last year I’ve had a Filipino cook on my workplace, HE WAS AMAZING, the fish was amazing. Vegetables and rice is a big big yes for me thanks to him.
You have reminded me of that days ☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻

Good to know these are familiar to you and you got to taste Filipino delicacy through the cook in your workplace. Some are really good at creating dishes that are simple yet the taste can be surprising.
!PIZZA

Do you have some tricks for the noodles ? Because I think I will try to make some myself 😄🙏🏻

Oh, that is something I don't have, lol! I just do them the way I imagine😁 Enjoy your experiment, it could be fun 😅

I will inform if I discover anything amazing 😄😄🙏🏻

Oh that would be cool! Waiting for it :)

ED topic huh?

I don't know about all of that but this is some yummy looking, simple comfort food and I am all for that. That roasted eggplant is such a neat photograph too with the depth of field, colour and texture.

YES!

Yes, an initiative by Ecency. Thank you and I'm glad you are also into simple comfort food.

When it comes to having a meal when I'm alone, I'm much like you, nothing fancy, sandwich or leftovers will do just fine. I hate cooking and having a chef around like my wife makes for some great meals. If it weren't for her, I'd be eating eggs, tuna, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for most meals.
Rice, love it, a wonderful starch that goes great with so much and can be prepared in so many different ways.

We're fortunate to have people around us who love to cook, we get to eat better options❤️ Sounds like we have something in common (plus the eggs, tuna and sandwiches) hehe. Rice is one of our staple food here and most people cannot go on a day without it.

I also want all the food that you shared, and I am hungry now, food is just so hard to resist.

Haha, that's true. Seeing photos of food makes me hungry too.

today I'm fasting. Looks like I'm getting hungry seeing this food. Apparently, this food is very delicious.

Oh, sorry about that :) Not intentional to make you hungry hehe. But yes, most are simply delicious. Thank you !LUV

Love that sandwich girl!!! For breakfast it is perfect! But we are different I love cooking a lot hahaha. I like the eggplants baked it is so delicious!!!! I used to like potatoes and two years ago I abuse a lot just eating and eating potatoes that I gained weight like crazy, I actually did a diet, I'm better now but I'm cured, not more potatoes

That is so good! I do love to cook years ago but I think getting old has something to do with it, hahaha!

I would have to try baking eggplants. Jane suggested having them with cheese or cinnamon. I wonder what you have in them?

Potatoes are tasty but have to control eating them :)

Who does not like food?
Hahaha
Food is life and we all cannot do without it.

I suppose no one? LOL!
That's true, it's one thing we can't live without.

You took us on a great culinary journey. I am also a fan of potatoes, plus rice and those eggplants look great too! It is hard to choose a favorite but glad you found yours with a sandwich!

Hard indeed to choose and it's kinda funny how sandwich can feed me all day, lol! 😅 Thank you for the fun topic, Steve.
