Foodie Questions


I sometimes think of myself as a foodie, but I really am not a food snob.  The truth be told, I am an adventuresome eater, who will eat almost anything.  I don't have terribly high standards, though I enjoy really great food.  Except for soggy french fries, I seldom find food inedible.  

Some food questions:
1: Cupcakes, a brilliant idea, or a stupid idea gone viral?
2: Velveeta - is it cheese? 
3: Sashimi - wonderful or bait? 
4: Apples - red or green? 
5: How do you like your steaks cooked? 

My answers: 
 1: Cupcakes, a brilliant idea, or a stupid idea gone viral?  I think cupcakes are the stupidest idea in baking.  I can't eat one without getting my fingers sticky, I can't get it out of the paper wrapper without making a mess.  

2: Velveeta - is it cheese? I was raised with Veveeta in the house, I have eaten a lot of it, and it is not cheese.  It is food chemistry. It has its uses, but don't try to pass it off as cheese.  

3: Sashimi - wonderful or bait? I love sashimi and sushi.  Who knew, raw fish could taste so clean and fresh. 

4: Apples - red or green? Red and ripe.  A sour apple is either not ripe, or a tree that didn't graft correctly.  

5: How do you like your steaks cooked? Rare to Medium Rare, I want red meat to be red in the middle - this is a major conversion for me, I was raised in a family where steaks were cooked well done and beyond, I once heard my father order a steak well done - dried out.

  3. 1. meh.
    2. Velveeta is an abomination
    3. I'm with you - so pleasantly surprised the first time I had it and have loved it ever since. True confession: The first time I had sashimi, I thought the wasabi was guacamole and put the entire lump of it in my mouth. It was as awful as you can imagine. I still love wasabi though.
    4. Red, although I prefer green sour-ish apples for cooking
    5. Medium rare. I used to prefer rare, but my taste changed as I got older.

  4. 1. Cupcakes - dumb idea. They're too small and too much trouble to make.
    2.Velveeta - it ain't cheese, but I actually like it.
    3. Sashimi - it's bait. I wouldn't touch it.
    4. Red apples. Green are for pies.
    5. Well-done steaks for me. I don't wanna see any blood or hear the cow moo...
