On Food

A while back, a friend of mine asked me some questions regarding food, and I just now got around to responding properly. Here are my replies.
Q: Are there any dishes you absolutely do not want?
A: Octopus, cow tongue, snails, monkey brains, shrimp, anything that’s still alive, bugs in general, animals that look like animals (like this). Not really a fish fan, though I can tolerate it.
Q: Any things you cannot eat?
A: I don’t know of many things I’m actually allergic to, though I’ve had food poisoning before and it’s not fun. MSG is a no-no, and Bacos bacon bits make me sick every time I eat them even though I love them [sad face].
Q: Give me your three favorite dishes.
A: These are somewhat restaurant specific, but I’ll tell you anyway.
—A grilled cheese with everything, extra crispy fries, and a Dr. Pepper from In-N-Out.
—Angel hair spaghetti with marinara sauce, a small Caesar salad, and Sprite or 7Up.
—Tofu or chicken Pad Thai with spring rolls and a Thai iced tea.
For good measure:
favorite food: green tea Pocky.
favorite drink: A&W root beer, Thai iced tea, water.
favorite restaurant: Subway, Denny’s.
