Today's part of the blog challenge was regarding your favorite food. I have a preference for the exotic & southern. I am not a big fan of greens or grits, but I was raised with a lot of biscuits, chicken fried steak & gravy. I like things with a zing; BBQ, Cajun, Chinese, Indian, Thai. If I can't get that then I shift to things like sea food, Italian or Mediterranean. Basically, I like things with distinctive tastes. Give me spices, herbs & acidity.
I've gotten more into these types of foods as I've grown older. I'm not sure if my taste buds have matured or if the HIV has altered my preferences. I do know that when I was first diagnosed, it was everything I could do to eat anything. Things with muddled flavors actually grossed me out. I went for things with sharp tastes. So, yes, HIV can also affect the way you do & should eat.
As for my favorite. I will go with the one I eat the most often. I like Mexican, actually Tex-Mex. I am not particularly talking about chain restaurant Tex-Mex. Albeit, I am not opposed to Taco Mayo's crunchy tacos. I am talking about the food I grew up eating & cooking in these parts. A lot of people are surprised how much Mexican food that Oklahomans eat. I like all your basic fare; tacos, tostadas, sanchos, chimichangas, salsa verde, churro beans, the yellow rice, arroz con pollo, etc... I am not however a fan of tamales or Spanish rice.
I like to eat & cook Tex-Mex. What's your favorite food.
