Here's a peeve of mine ...
Often breakfast buffets in Europe will have ham, cheese and bread ... but no mustard! I've been able to obtain some for a sandwich as a special request, but thought it odd they don't put it out on the table?

My new buffet food rule is to take only one piece of each fruit to test it's ripeness before loading up my plate. Corollary: avoid the green melon because it is rarely, if ever, ripe.

Wings are my favorite part of the chicken, and well worth the work. We buy 10 lb. bags of em at Costco, but I've never understood the appeal of the buffalo/hot sauce coated type either. They are best naked without any coating or batter, simply salted and deep fried or grilled until very crispy. Dousing a perfectly crispy wing in sauce makes as much sense to me as putting chili or cheese on nice crispy french fries - which is none.

At breakfast my savoury cannot intermingle with the sweet. Separate plates for the eggs, hashbrowns, sausage/bacon and/or beans and another for the french toast/pancakes. Need different cutlery too.

I haven't done it in a long time as these days I use (green) tabasco, but I used to pour pancake syrup on my hash browns. Why only at breakfast?

Says somebody who's obviously never tried Cornish Quartz from Davidstow!
I'm willing to accept there's a big difference between American and Italian styles of ice cream. But there's quite a continuum between the two (and the stuff you get here tends to sit in the middle, with less fat and no egg white).
Very wrong.

I love meat, vegetables and fruit in a food.I'll often let my dinner sit for an hour or so when I eat at home to accomplish this.In a night i dont eat heavy food.Ina morning i take tea with Chips of different kinds -- potato chips, tortilla chips, different flavored potato chips.

If I'm eating BBQ in Texas the only "plates" better be sheets of wax paper I dump all the meat on.
