Build Your Perfect Meal - Four courses, no limits

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I like too many things to make this easy.

Of the moment?

Appetizer: Various good Italian deli meats and pickled vegetables. I really like new carrots being pickled in particular. Bread and butter pickles also must be present. Olives and mushrooms are also necessary, along with peppers.

Salad/free space: This chink okra salad I had.

Main course: A perfectly cooked beef filet. I like mine a little on the lean side and red but warm through. I also like mine pretty salty. I need potatoes with it. As long as they are soft and tender and excellent, I don't belabor specifics.

Dessert: Not fancy is fine. I would be fine eating on a skillet cookie that has a good mallard browning but also buttery and rich with chocolate chips. Throw some decent vanilla ice cream and hot fudge and I feel this is as good as any particularly fancy dessert. Or it could be pineapple, mango, and banana. Or it could be cheese and tea with toast points.

Won't even do mine because that's pretty close of what i was thinking

I'd just swap the wine for a negroni and swap the iced tea (?) for a mojito mocktail

Something about spaghetti is just so right.
Not just any old red wine will do! Has to be a lambrusco to be the perfect meal. Negroni is a fantastic choice as well.

Good bolognese will use red wine reductions, it's just a good pairing

Pasta in general with a strong wine is always a safe bet
 
Casual, with friends at the park on a warm sunny day:
-Sun chips
-Chopped fruit (grapes, strawberries, kiwi, etc) , or maybe a pasta salad
-Turkey sammiches from the grocery store deli
-Strawberry cupcakes
-Angry Orchard or similar hard cider
-Iced coffee
—----
Proper meal, at Christmas, while step-grandpa is sharing the worst Star Wars take imaginable:
-crackers, baked brie, and jam.
-caesar salad
-med rare steak w/roasted potatoes
-Cartoonishly large slice of chocolate cake.
-Redbreast 12, neat
-Martinelli's, and milk to facilitate cake eating
 
As someone who cooks for myself and has cooked since I was a child. I would be perfectly happy with someone's home cooked entrée. Nothing would be better than having someone close to you make a meal they enjoy or have a fond memory of.
