Eggs, in all their wonderful permutations. The classic scrambled/fried/poached/hard-boiled are all delicious, but then you can branch out into custards, quiches, bakes, omelets, etc.

Then there is hollandaise sauce, surely invented by none other than our own Sanguine. That's right, a sauce that consists almost entirely of eggs and butter... and it actually tastes better than it sounds.

Once you reach hollandaise you are left with nowhere to go but up:

Eggs with egg sauce, and a little pork thown in for good measure. Does not get any better.

There's a place here in Salt Lake that makes an amazing Benedict, Original Pancake House. They use super thin shaved ham and get a little char on it and I can't emphasize enough how awesome it is.

I have been to the one in south Denver and agree wholeheartedly, excellent Benedict!

It's hard to choose!

My favorite Romanian food is sarmale (Stuffed Cabbage Rolls).

But I also love Kimbap with some Kimchi on the side. I used to make this when I lived in Korea.

And of course, coffee. Can't forget coffee ... It's my gaming fuel!

I like it hot and spicy - what is asian food to the most part. But I sometimes like as well subtile and spicy, what is french then. Sometimes I like it filling what is german, italian or greek then. Sometimes I like it english, an attack on my health with a full english breakfast, or fish and chips, in the wrongly-spiced english way, the fish without spices, the chips freakingly salty and sour, it is terrible, but I got used to it when I lived in London. Then local specialities for example Biltong from Johannesburg, like @sparafucilsarwb17_ESO suggested, or the disgustingly high-calorie gatsby sandwiches served in Capetown. Basically something from everything, there is not much I do not like to eat, if it is edible. I am quite adventurous, when it comes to food.

Nice to see another South African around here

@SlayerSyrena those look really nice!

Strider_Roshin · March 2016

I'm a big fan of meats and cheeses. As far as beverages go, coffee and beer are my two favorites. I blame the Canadian in me lol

A nice thick ribeye grilled medium well with a baked potato topped with butter and a yeast roll.

khele23eb17_ESO · March 2016

Sweet roll ofc.

UrQuan · March 2016

So sometimes you just want a nice steak dinner.

The funny thing is, the steak was good (I mean, it's steak basted in butter - it's going to be good), and so was the baked potato (except I didn't have any chives or green onions for it), but the roasted broccoli was actually the tastiest thing in my dinner tonight.

Okay, @UrQuan threw down the gauntlet, this is now a home cook food *** thread.

I was out of ham so I used bacon in accordance with the Universal Bacon Substitution Principal.

I love these posts.

For me, dinner is stuffed cabbage. Specifically homemade stuffed cabbage. Its a dish I love to make and try to at least twice a month. The filling (for the ones I make) ground veal/pork/beef, an egg for binding, bacon (crumbled), chopped onion sauteed in the bacon fat mix that all together. Core/boil cabbage (save water) stuff leaves. Add tomato sauce into cabbage water and a ham bone. Cook on high for an hour and enjoy deliciousness.

My family has been enjoy with slight variations on this recipe for over 100 years, all the way back before my ancestors migrated to america... near same dish made in a 2016 home and a 1901 mud hut home in the hills on now Slovakia.

I forgot to mention coffee. Not supermarket coffee; that stuff's awful.

I mean real coffee that you have to order on special consignment from a supplier in a country where the really good coffee beans are grown. Really good coffee beans include:

Jamaica Blue Mountain
Ethiopian Harrar
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe
Zimbabwe AA
Brazilian Santos

When you have had good coffee, you'll wonder why anybody drinks that overhyped swill from the supermarket. It makes a cup that tastes like it was brewed from floor sweepings: harsh in the mouth, with an aftertaste redolent of charcoal. Supermarket coffee isn't really consumed for its flavor. No, it's drunk by people desperate to wake up so they can go to their jobs reasonably alert. If it weren't for supermarket coffee, married couples would need to slap each other in the face every morning to achieve the same results.

But good coffee does exist. You just have to know where to get it.

Coffee does as well not taste the same everywhere - american coffee beans are quite different from african coffee beans. I personally like coffee from kenia, it has a strong well defined taste, but is not very stomage-friendly. That is why it has to be blended with about 1/3 of costa rica, which is smooth and full in taste, but not well defined IMO, and quite stomage-friendly. So a blend of 2/3 kenia and 1/3 costa rica is a good strong well defined taste overall, while not disturbing the stomage too much (given that you don't drink half a gallon or more of it).

I get my Coffee ground at a Coffee distributor,and it's always Sumatra Coffee.I'm addicted.

Oh interesting, I thought that to flavor coffee with chicory would just be a local austrian habit.

lentils

goatlyonesub17_ESO · March 2016

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee is my favorite, and Harrar is also good. Then maybe Jamaica Blue Mountain. If the coffee itself is any good, you shouldn't want to put anything (like sugar or cream) into it.

Here's one of the sandwiches I make.

It's melted cheddar cheese, a fried egg, salsa, onion bits (too many of them in the photo), pepperoni slices, sour cream, yellow mustard, and Italian salad dressing on a corn tortilla lightly fried in olive oil.

No indeed, it is the preferred coffee in New Orleans since at least mid-19th century. Very dark, very strong, half and half with scalded milk and lots of sugar. Made correctly it is heavenly coffee.
