I will say this....the only time I put ketchup on eggs is on a fried egg sandwich.

However, I like ketchup flavored chips AND ketchup on my hot dog.

Oh man and I"m stuck on the Mainland for the next couple of weeks! Otherwise, I'd drive by with a truck! I am hopelessly addicted to avocados.

Yes! Agreed. It tastes different if it's cut into rectangles.


Keep cheese and mustard away from my hamburger.

Keep ketchup, relish, onion away from my my hot dog.

Pizza should not be covered in vegetables, fruit or meat products.

No sugar in my coffee, ever.

I'm definitely in the "keep the syrup away from my sausages (or bacon)" camp.

Egg salad will never again cross my lips.

Mayonnaise should be a controlled substance.

In Germany ( where I am right now enjoying the post World Cup mellowness ;) ):

Preferably only snack on wurst that was made on the premises. The taste is quite amazing.

Keep away from the fish if not in a coastal town. If the cook is from Northern Africa you might give a cautious try.

Beer gardens are little spots of heaven on earth. Especially if you can get wine instead.

If any restaurant has turkey breast salad on the menu, just find an excuse to leave.

German wine can be good but Austrian great.

Last but not least: Ask if they take credit cards. Most do not.

Also: no entrails. Unless they're chopped up and therefore invisible, as in a sausage.

Steak should be cooked no more than medium-rare and the only condiment allowed is a hint of horseradish.

Steak tatare is wonderful, but not presented with raw egg please.

"Western" food should be eaten with a fork in the left hand and a knife in the right. "Shovellers" will not be invited back home a second time and excuses will be found not to have to eat out with them.

And fast/junk-food is for absolute emergencies only. Indeed it should be labelled as such.

So in other words, you don't eat pizza, you eat cheese bread? :confused:
(Last I checked, pizza sauce is made from a fruit. . . ;) )

Blanco? I suspect they meant stuff like pineapple, but good catch :)

Don't overeat.

Um... I've personally done away with "The 5-Second Rule"... does that count?

GadgetFreak Dec 11, 2006 8:41 am

Yea, I have a new one.

My new food rule:

Do not eat salads in which the material has been washed in, perhaps not quite purified enough, water from the Zambezi River.

1) Many foods become better when bacon is involved. Grilled jumbo shrimp wrapped in bacon is an excellent example.
2) A true man will grill at least once every month of the year, even if he lives in the North.
3) If you need to sweeten your iced tea, use only real sugar. Ideally, use a simple syrup.
4) People love a good smoked turkey on Thanksgiving.
5) A baked turkey is better if it's brined before cooking.
6) If you must eat a hot dog, eat a good kosher one. For best results, pair with spicy mustard and onions.
