Here’s the latest batch of questions from Val.  If you want to play along on your blog, swing by and post by tomorrow!

This week’s questions are about common food thoughts or myths that I’ve heard from other people.

1. Bananas. Do you think the smaller ones are sweeter? I know they’re supposed to be but I don’t see it.

2. Watermelon. Do you think that if the outside is darker green that it means the watermelon is sweeter?  No clue.  Never heard that one before.

3. Grapes. Do you think the round globe shaped ones are sweeter than the more ovalish shaped ones?  No, they’ve always taste more mild to me.

4. Pears. Do canned pears taste completely different than fresh pears?  Blech…pears.

1.  I like A1 steaksauce on my cottage cheese.

2.  I will dip ANYTHING in TGIFriday’s Jack Daniel’s sauce.

3.  My chili tastes like spicy spaghetti sauce because I don’t like thin, runny chili.

This week’s FFoF meme:

1. How do you pronounce manicotti? Men-e-got, man-i-cotti or some other way?
I’m not Italian and I refuse to sound like Giada, so I will say it the “stupid American” way…Man-i-cotti.  :-)

 

2. What do you call the carbonated drink that comes in a bottle? Soda, tonic, pop, fizzy or something else?
Pop

3.  What do you call a sandwich on a long roll? Sub, grinder, hoagie, hero, poor boy or something else?
Sub

4.  Do you call it broth, boullion or stock? How do you make chicken stock?
I don’t use it so I call it whatever is on the front of the can or box I’m popping open!  LOL

1. Do you prefer soft serve ice cream or hard ice cream?
Hard but I’m not opposed to the occasional soft serve treat.

2. What is the strangest sandwich you’ve ever made?
Hmm, I don’t know that I’ve ever made anything “strange.”  I’ll put jalapeno mustard on a pastrami and lite muenster sandwich but I don’t think that’s strange.  LOL

3. What’s your favorite type (not flavor) of potato chip?
I’m not picky but I have to be in the mood for kettle chips which is probably less than 1% of the time.  I want something that will stand up to dip so that pretty much leaves Lay’s thin, weak chips out but doesn’t necessarily mean something like Ruffles.  We tend to buy Mike-sell’s Good and Hot Groovy Chips since we’re not really chip people.

4. What size spoon do you usually eat soup with at home?
Whatever I reach for.  :-)

Name four things related to food that are strange or funny to you.

Instant Oatmeal.  It actually takes a minute, not an instant!

The side of the A1 Steak Sauce bottle says: “Shake Well.  If there’s only one drop left, a more extreme form of shaking may be required.  Like dancing.  Or jumping jacks.  You can do it.  Yeah, it’s that important.”

When loaves of bread try to say they’re “multi-grain” or one of those other other buzz words to make you think it’s whole wheat but when you flip it over, the first ingredient is “enriched white flour” instead of whole wheat flour which is actually the healthy stuff.

Drawing from above, “enriched” white or wheat flour is actually stripped of it’s nutrients so how exactly is it enriched??

1. What kind of orange juice do you like? Pulp, no pulp, etc.
NO pulp!  Ugh, the thought of that crap in my throat is making me sick!  LOL  The hubby likes the extra pulp though.  Needless to say we don’t buy much OJ!

2. Rolls. Do you prefer them with seeds or without?
I don’t really have a preference.  I suppose generally without but I like a good sesame seed roll too.

3. What is your favorite scent of dish soap?
No clue.  As long as it smells clean.

4. What’s in the butter storage space in your fridge?
Everything but butter!  LOL  Let’s see, a lemon, lemon juice, lime juice, roasted minced garlic and cream cheese when we have it.

Wanna play along?  There’s still time for tomorrow’s deadline just stop by Val’s blog.

I’ve missed these!

1. What kind of olive oil do you use?
You know, I’m not exactly sure.  I think it’s extra virgin.

2. Do you prefer salted or unsalted butter?
I don’t really use butter but if I do it’s usually for a specific recipe so I just get what the recipe calls for.

3. What size eggs do you usually buy?
Large, cage free.

4. What’s in the bottom drawer of your fridge?
Hmm, cheese galore.  Gruyere, lite provolone, parmesan blend, sharp cheddar, lite muenster, reduced sodium Boar’s head chicken breast and land o’ frost ham.
