Did you have any food obsessions as a kid, and eat the same thing continually?
Ordinarily, the one meal I am willing to kill over is spaghetti. The one person who comes to mind when I think about spaghetti is my grandmother. Her sauce is as thick as her history and the many layers to the dish represent the transitions she has had all throughout her life. Spaghetti is my go-to meal for heartaches, stress, and happiness. I can 't just eat anyone 's spaghetti or any type of spaghetti. First, it has to be my Mammaw 's (grandmother) spaghetti because she adds the perfect amount of sugar and love into her infamous sauce.
Above all, She 's extremely talented in the kitchen and it 's because of her background. My grandmother dropped out of school

Eating half naked sounds weird, well it is weird, but that just shows you the closeness of our relationship. I 'm obsessed with spaghetti, it 's the best carbs a girl could get her hands on.
For instance, when my grandmother is cooking her infamous spaghetti, the whole neighborhood knows because you can smell the sauce from outside of the house. We use to stay in a small shotgun house and since there was poor ventilation, she would cook with the door open. Well, we had to stop that because neighbors would beg like no tomorrow for a plate of food, the same neighbors who wouldn 't even lend you a cup of sugar if your life depended on it. Moreover, the downfall of her cooking without the door open is that my mouth would hang to the floor the whole time the meal was being prepared because I would be mesmerized.
When she cooks, she seduces you and the aromas pull moans from the bottom of your belly. I remember this one time my nose got me in trouble. My nose grew feet and walked me to the kitchen where I saw the spaghetti cooling off on the counter, I figured one or three spoonfuls of the sauce would hurt, well I was wrong. The sauce was so hot on my tongue that tears came out of my eyes. I screamed and screamed until my grandmother came in the kitchen. She said, " Girl what in the hell is wrong with you?"
I mumbled, "Mawmaw my tongue is on fire."
She giggled,"Fatty butt, you couldn 't wait, I 've told you too many times to not to open my pots," she 's really strict
Furthermore, similarly to the author's grandmother food is something that is extremely important to my grandmother as well. Whenever we have a family gathering
One of the most recognized names in the home of many food lovers and chefs is Julia Child. She has overcome several obstacles and challenges on the way up. She started in a time when women weren’t allowed to work and were expected to stay home and “play house.” Julia didn’t grow up wanting to be the chef, author, or TV personality she is known for today. One woman changed the way that Americans look at food and even the way that we prepare our meals at home. She didn’t have the preconceived idea of being a famous person making money. She accomplished what she has done by simply following the things she became passionate about. If she can go from nothing to something by simply chasing what she loves, why can’t we?
dogs. I've eaten hot dogs covered in beef gravy and sausage with pepperoni and fish sticks.
Which must be served on with carrots and of course, ranch. I remember lasagna being a family made meal, my mother makes the the noodles. My step-dad layered the ingredients and I sat on the counter and ate cottage cheese. There were also my famous frenchiladas, made by me in my pink and white play kitchen in the basement. They were also only for my Tofer, while he would watch T.V. I can’t quite remember why I called them frenchiladas, I have always assumed that I meant enchiladas, or maybe French enchiladas, couldn’t tell you why. Only that they were basement famous.
There are many foods but my favorite is by for chipotle. Eating chipotle is like touching heaven.The first bite of the burrito is like walking up heavens stair case meaning no worries.I believe the smell of the burrito smells like heaven. It is possible that I could eat Chipotle almost everyday of the week and never get sick of it.
In her family she was the only one to continue her education past high school. Hearing what it took to make this happen was incredible. When I was in grade school both my grandmother and grandfather took it upon themselves to make a college education account for all us grandkids. They didn’t want to see us struggle like they had to.
My obsession of macaroni and cheese.It taest so good that you want to eat it over and over again.All you need is kraft macaroni and cheese,a pot,a spoon,water and (milk) if optional.To me it is the best food I had ever eaten because it is cheesy good.
I am hands down the worlds pickiest eater. When I was a child, my parents would create what the menu, but when I turned three I stood up for myself. No ketchup! No tomatoes! No mustard! I always found it extremely odd how people were obsessed with these foods when the sheer aroma of plain old ketchup made me gag. Every single night my family and I would sit down for dinner. No matter the meal, ketchup was always a necessity for my brother. Whether it was a juicy hamburger, grilled chicken, or even plain pasta, the Heinz ketchup was present. The worst part was our assigned seats; Brett and I were always a few inches apart. Everyday I would watch him first shake the ketchup so that the juice would mix with the substance, squeeze it out and smother it on the food. I would hold my breath
We set up a large table for the food. By dinner time the table is filled with different foods from American to Mexican to even Italian. We all gather around the table to say grace, and propose a toast. Then we all line up to get food. I always try to get a little bit of everything, this way I know what everything tastes like and what to get for seconds. Last year one of my aunts made Mexican smoked barbecue ribs. I couldn't stop eating them, they were amazing! They were seasoned with her very own rub which consisted of plain slat, garlic, and cayenne pepper. They had this beautiful reddish glazed look, I just couldn't
One of my biggest food weaknesses is chocolate ice cream. There was a time in my life when I ate a 500-gram tub every night before bed. When I finally got my act together and went on a low carb diet to lose weight, my chocolate ice cream addiction hit me hard.
Few things identify Italians as well as food, “the cross-cultural consumption of Italian cuisine is a significant marker of the way in which others see and imagine Italy and the Italians.” Food is cultural artifact. The Italian culture lives to eat. Where as, the American culture eats to live. Food is a way of life in Italy, not just a way to survive.
It was a beautiful day in Rome, Italy. The sky was a clear, baby blue and the weather was warm, just hot enough to need a fan in the August day. People were walking on the streets, hand gestures everywhere as if they are so passionate about what they are talking about. I hear ‘Ciao Bella’ and ‘buongiorno’ from the friendly Italians I come across. I know what they are saying and find myself laughing, the mere sound of the language amuses me. Walking down the street, I took note of the siesta time, also known as riposo time in Italy. The stores and restaurants close down from noon until about 3:00 pm, giving people the time to go home and rest or take care of other things. From my room in my hotel, I noticed the acoustics in the city are
My favorite food is chicken fettuccini pasta. I prefer this dish because of the great taste. It consists of a magnificent sauce, tender chicken, and mixed vegetables. This blend of ingredients contributes the flavor, texture, and appearances of the pasta.
Back when I was only five years old, pizza was always one of my favorite food in my life.
I eventually grew to like the taste in later years. The incorporation of these childhood 'treats' came be seen in the food diary that I kept. They had become a familiar part of my diet as I began to demonstrate brand loyalty. I had a preference of KFC over Burger King and McDonalds, Pizza Hut over Pizza Pizza, etc.
