I like fried potatoes but I'm the only I know who does..Every one else likes mashed.I wish I got fried potatoes more often instead of always mashed.but I'm always out voted..Is there a food you like but seldom get?

Potatoes fried in an iron skillet with a few onions; +1 on that!

Fortunately, my wife makes me fried potatoes in my well seasoned cast iron skillet once a month or so.
With Hillshire farms sausage, onions, and bell peppers, all included in the right timing so everything really comes together... food nirvana.
As for something I rarely get is really good ham... no one else likes it in the family and it doesn’t settle well with the wife.
I used to get deli hams when I worked with a meat company... but had a fair amount of fat slow cooked to melt all of that, it was right up there with the finest cuts of meat.
As for eating out, I love a well made Monte Cristo sandwich, few restaurants are capable of getting it right.
Larry, pick up Kelly on a road trip, come visit!

Indian food. Best food ever, could eat it every meal. I'm with you there...LOVE Indian food. As for the issue with fried vs mash...since my daughter doesn't like mash, I would do a few chips (fries) for her as well - so we often have both. It makes me think of a question...if you oven bake your fries (and hence don't fry them) are they still called fries? |

It seems to be a family pact could be negotiated with a ratio of mashed to fried. Just suggesting.....

The biggest advantage of living in the PNW is the diversity of food available. Chinese, Korean, sushi, Indian, Malaysian... you name it, we’ve got it. 😁 The downside: it rains 200 days a year. ☹️

Indian food is something I rarely get.
Not that Chicago doesn’t have its fair share of restaurants.
The missus. Can’t stand it.
So only if I’m on my own or with a friend

I can't stand the smell of Indian food. We love Greek food and pretty much anything from the Mediterranean area. Can rarely find a Monte Cristo in Houston, much less up here. I like them when I can get them, but I am glad that they are hard to find. Too many calories.

Foods I rarely eat... Just about everything I've eaten since last Monday. Panettone, fruit cake, cookies, mom's Christmas toffee, potatoes, Little Debbie Christmas Cakes, chocolate, pasta, bread, etc. You get the idea.

Gravy and biscuits. I love gravy and biscuits, but my wife has cut me waaaayyyyy down because of my stratospherically high blood pressure and family history of heart attacks. If the biscuits are with our own sourdough starter (when we kept one), it was that much better

Damn, everything in this post sounds so good. Including the monte cristo... but Ron is right about the calories, I'm probably lucky they aren't easier to find. |

Ah, Lamb Kidneys!!!! Let me tell you about the oldest and arguably the best restaurant in San Francisco. "Jack's", since 1853. Their signature dish was lamb kidneys surrounded by a mutton chop, wrapped in a lot of bacon and slow broiled for about 45 minutes. That was the bomb! Since it took so long to cook, there was time for a Celery Victor Salad and a small bowl of their Mock Turtle Soup. Plenty of San Francisco Sourdough Bread and a nice bottle of wine. Man, that was eating. I loved that place as did my father. I guess they finally shut down when the last owner died. It kind of fell out of style but I bet it returns. Lamb Kidneys in Ireland with a small lamb chop and bacon. Mixed Grill. So, good. |

Cabrito! I love it but it's impossible to find in Houston and much harder in NE Texas. Still, the peace is worth it.

Chicken livers - breaded and deep fried. Used to get them with a couple of beers at a bar/restaurant near the gun range I frequent. But with COVID, I haven't been there since February or March.
Fried Okra - only get it at KFC and don't go there very often.
Biscuits and sausage gravy - just don't make it very often. When I have it, it's usually at McDonalds or Cracker Barrel.
Thai food - no restaurants around here.

Thought of another food I don't get enough of.
Morel mushrooms - I'm not good at finding them, or don't know where to look.
I end up with more ticks than mushrooms - seriously.
Last time I went mushroom hunting, I found 2. Went home and checked for ticks. Found 3.

I highly recommend the mixed grill at the Silver Springs Hotel in Cork, Ireland if you really like lamb kidneys. Never mind. The hotel we stayed in was built in 1792 and it showed. It's gone and a new modern and expensive hotel has replaced it. No kidneys on the menu. Or anything Irish. |

Lamb has become too expensive. I used to cook legs from the shank to the sirloin. Nope. not no more. Just itty bitty boneless roasts at $12 per pound. Ditto Veal legs. Veal in general is hard to come by here.
Beef rib roast? Only at Christmas, not available the rest of the year.

Almost a thousand miles away. |

Mexico City and all over Central Mexico and a 2 week trip to Ireland and the US Virgin Islands is all I've seen outside the country. |

But his kidneys are square. That's kidney, singular. And in the MRI it's kind of bean shaped. |
