maevedarcy's 3 weeks 4 dreamwidth meme, Day 3:
Food related questions that will make you hungry
What is a food you loved as a child but do not enjoy anymore? Boiled egg. When I was very little, my mother used to give me a boiled egg most days, for breakfast or tea. By the time I was seven or eight, I couldn't stand either the texture or taste. The funny thing is that I can remember liking it.
What’s a food you used to dislike but now enjoy? What changed? Mushrooms. This is probably because my mother rarely cooked them when I was a kid; and, when she did, it was for the grown-ups. I suspect that's partly because she was watching money. I didn't try them until I was in my teens; but I quickly got used to the flavour.
If you could eat only one cuisine for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Basic English, I suppose. It's what I grew up with. I'm not adventurous. Quite the contrary.
What food instantly makes you feel comforted or happy? Mocha, the way I make it, i.e. with hot milk and a mocha mix. Or cocoa, which my mother often gave us when we were children—except that nowadays I don't sweeten it. Either way, we're talking flavoured hot milk.
What food reminds you most of your childhood? Things like egg toast and beans'n'sauce that my mother used to make for children's tea.
Are there any foods you think are overrated? Anything hot and spicy. I bite the food: I don't like it to bite back.
What traditional dish from your country would you recommend to a visitor? Toad in the hole, especially if made with lamb chops rather than sausages.
Who is the best cook you know, and what makes their food special? I guess that would be me—not because I'm a great cook, but because I cook the food I like.
