Food related questions that will make you hungry 3weeks4dreamwidth 

What is a food you loved as a child but do not enjoy anymore? not really a meal, but chicken used to be my favorite protein. i can’t even stomach the smell now since i boil it 2x a week for my cat with digestive issues, and it’s genuinely made me hate it

What’s a food you used to dislike but now enjoy? What changed? i used to hate anything with peas, but i actually enjoy them now. they bring a sweetness to savory dishes that’s needed imo

If you could eat only one cuisine for the rest of your life, which would you choose? mexican? salvadoran? peruvian? fck i don’t know… can i choose filipino for desserts/drinks and mexican for savory/dinner?

What food instantly makes you feel comforted or happy? it used to be enchiladas because it was the first meal i cooked with my dad. he would always be so happy when we made them,,,we turned it into a “white people casserole” version and added a bunch of veggies, so he said he could feel the immediate benefits lol. but now it just makes me sad… maybe tteokbokki?

What food reminds you most of your childhood? so many: fast food like the party pack from taco bell and cheap little caesars pizzas (which is unironically my favorite pizza chain), french toast because my dad would make it every saturday morning and the smell of cinnamon and butter would wake me and my bff up after sleepovers, and ceviche in the summer

Are there any foods you think are overrated? i’ve learned i just have “crappy” taste buds lol. i genuinely like the “poor people” versions of things—like kraft parmesan vs. the real deal, or a walmart mousse vs. an expensive french one

What traditional dish from your country would you recommend to a visitor? i was gonna go regional, but most people have tried popular socal foods like california rolls, avocado toast, in-n-out…  i’d say street tacos, but authentic ones from a taqueria

Who is the best cook you know, and what makes their food special? my grandpa was the chef of the house when i was a kid. i tried looking up his old recipes and a lot of them were great depression–era with midwest influence, since he was born and raised in a small rural town in oregon... i wonder if that came from swapping recipes during his time in the navy. everyone in my family misses his cooking...
