Okay, I'm guessing that your correct answer is "L".

I, personally, would be avoiding "C" and "K", but that's not what you asked ... ;]

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

You are correct!

I find there are very few food items (generally only the sweet ones) that can't be improved with "C". Some need more than others. :)

[moralanqua.livejournal.com]

B or G. Pesto and eggs were never meant to be together!

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

I would have to disagree. :)

[moralanqua.livejournal.com]

Ick ICK you fahreek! A million Italians are grabbing their ballsacks and waving their hands in the air emphatically.

But I really shouldn't say so much when my country thinks stuffing offal into a sheep stomach makes good eating... ;P

At the same time?!?


Haggis is underrated, IMO. Wouldn't want to eat it too often, of course....;)

[apricot-tree.livejournal.com]

I went to the British store awhile ago and found vegetarian haggis in a can. *shudder*

[blueeyedtigress.livejournal.com]

Haggis is comfort food -- at least to we Exiles (to the umpteenth generation)! So nice that, in Canada, we can find it with relative ease ..... ;]

I think you'd like green eggs, heyla?
You should try them, moralanqua

disclaimer: i hate eggs

[divinetailor.livejournal.com]

but my estimated, imaginary polyjuice-potion doppelganger would probably vote "hummus."

Re: disclaimer: i hate eggs

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

It depends on the type of hummus. Garlic-heavy is good; tahini-heavy, not so much.

Re: disclaimer: i hate eggs

[sdragon.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... now that is a good point. Now I'm tempted to consider it... maybe. >_>

[bethbethbeth.livejournal.com]

I suspect your answer is "L" but I'd say "hummus" (which I like...just not with scrambled eggs)

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

See above. I'm picky about what kind of hummus mixes well. :)

[tyellas.livejournal.com]

Another vote against hummus, here. Does not compute!

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Don't knock it til you try it? XD

(Can you tell this was one of the use-all-the-leftovers-before-they-go-bad days?)

[sdragon.livejournal.com]

B) Hummus - is the one thing I can't imagine how it would taste, and am not inclined to waste the eggs or the hummus to find out. Something about two relatively bland and textureless foods coming together makes me think of the white middle-class suburbia of dishes.

However, the Stilton with apricot would need careful handling... I have not tried sweet fruit in eggs yet, but the blue cheese should play nicely.

But... dear lord, please tell me you're not using them together!

I also recommend Sriracha (Thai chili sauce); it's like Tabasco, but more tangy and sweet, and with more body (garlic).

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

I must admit, all those ingredients went into what I just ate. Yup, all of 'em. The hummus had a lot of garlic and lemon, so that worked OK because I didn't use very much. The apricot bits were the only remotely sweet thing, and I found they added a nice touch because, again, subtle....

Mmmm, Sriracha. I'm partial to...what do you call that bright red Vietnamese fire-starter stuff?

[sdragon.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think it's Vietnamese - the squeeze bottle with the rooster on it?

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

That's the stuff! It's got a bite. :9

[dreya-uberwald.livejournal.com]

Personally, I'd say all of them (but that's because I'm not very fond of eggs), but I'm guessing that you went for L :D

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

It was one of those last-day-before-grocery-shopping eat-all-this-stuff-before-it-goes-bad meals. And it was stunningly good. I'll have to do it again. :D

[mybrokenlocket.livejournal.com]

I would have to say L. Eggs go with everything. I like my eggs to have something crunchy with them, which leads me to some interesting culinary choices, i.e. pickle omlettes.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

They are the 'little black dress' of foodstuffs, aren't they? Pickles? I should try that!

[catbirdgirl.livejournal.com]

leftover tortillas are GREAT in eggs. also leftover tortilla chips.

[catbirdgirl.livejournal.com]

most of em would go on their own, some together some not.

I think tomatoes, eggs, pesto, parmeson, onions,pepper and mushrooms sound GREAT. with a little bacon grease if thats how you like em.

I personally adore stilton with apricots, but I dont think I'd put em in this. Chevre or cheddar or Mozz, sure.

I don't like worchestire much. Hummus and eggs, I dunno. Put lots of pesto in and yes, but then do you eat em like eggs or like hummus?

I might make eggs with spinach and polenta for dinner again with garlic and butter.

mmmm garlic.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

I've got a big bag o' polenta (Italian neighborhood, it happens) but I've never cooked it before, I have no idea. I'll give it a try one of these days.

[catbirdgirl.livejournal.com]

I adore polenta.

A few simple recipes:

cook it like oatmeal. add cheese or herbs or butter or garlic or all of the above. eat like mashed taters.

cook with less water, form into firm patties, fry in olive oil with garlic. sprinkle parmesan or romano and herbs on top.

I've even eaten it like oatmeal with milk butter and sweetener on it.

[celandineb.livejournal.com]

The answer must be L, but F is the one thing that would never be in my kitchen -- don't care for Stilton and apricot bits would not improve it. All the others sound good, if maybe not all at once...

*tries to think if either Aziraphale or Crowley would be likely to eat this concoction*

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

Believe it or not, I did all at once. :)

I don't think either would. In fact, I'm trying to think of a GO character who would, and all I'm coming up with is Brian or maybe Newt.

[use-theforce-em.livejournal.com]

Wow. All of those ingredients sound fabulous. I have no idea what they might taste like all together, but damn it makes me glad that I'll be able to actually go grocery shopping tomorrow.

But F, more than any of them, sounds like it would be too good for my tiny brain to compute. I must try that sometime.

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

It's tangy, greasy, food-snob-horrifying heaven, I tell you. :)

[apricot-tree.livejournal.com]

A. Mushrooms
B. Hummus (maybe - haven't tried it, but it doesn't sound good.)
F. English Stilton with apricot bits
I. Tomatoes

How do you feel about ketchup? My uncle used to drown his. :P

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

I feel that ketchup is for the hash browns that really ought to be on the same plate. Actually - that's really all ketchup is good for, various potato products (and other fried goods like onion rings). It should be kept far away from everything else.

[apricot-tree.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid of stilton. I read something once about special implements they used to used to remove maggots from the cheese at table and haven't wanted to get close to it again.

[shadowvalkyrie.livejournal.com]

Most of that sounds really disgusting with eggs... and that comes from a person who eats eggs+leftovers at least once or twice a week. I've grown quite fond of eggs and fish, even though most people think that horrifying. ";-P

[aineotter.livejournal.com]

I wonder about hummus and eggs clashing texture-wise, but in small quantities I bet the hummus texture is overwhelmed (I'm personally more repulsed by certian textures than nearly any flavour- that's what makes lima beans inedible). It actually dosen't sound bad at all to me otherwise, but then I'm told that I eat odd things...and I'd probably substitute this awesome habanaro hellfire sauce I have for the tabasco...

[quantum-witch.livejournal.com]

I know you well enough to have said "L". Though I have to say I hesitated over the concept of cheese with apricot bits combined with eggs. Then I realised eggs are virtually the perfect combo food, and remember that people stare at me funny for putting dill and mayonaisse on mine.

K. The words pepper and yummy do not fit into the same sentence.

[woodencoyote.livejournal.com]

Onions. I hate onions
