Things that I will eat only if I make them myself: |
|
These are things that I will not eat in restaurants, at gatherings etc, b/c I only like them the way that I make them (I think it's a problem with the amount and brand of mayo):
Tuna salad Egg salad Chicken salad
I won't eat any pasta salads, except for my Mom's. One exception is cold cheese tortellini in pesto. Yum. :9
I will eat eggs in restaurants, but I generally don't enjoy them very much. I prefer to make those at home.
Does anyone else have quirks like that with food? :hi:

2. True! I can *sometimes* let that one slide... |
|
weird. I don't like it when it has a ton of mayo on it, but I can at least scrape it off of the potatoes. :shrug:

9. I will eat potato salad at Red Hot and Blue I freaking LOVE |
|
that potato salad. I like mine better but theirs is really good and they serve so much of it that it is always fresh.
But I am cautious about tuna salad; chicken salad I will eat at certain places. Down here don't see egg salad like you do up North. Pimento Cheese is the big deal here.
I tend to order in restaurants things I normally do not cook at home. Sometimes I just don't know how to make them sometimes I don't want to take the trouble to make them.
However I love to eat breakfast out, especially when on vacation: long leisurely big breakfast with endless coffee, eggs over easy, hash browns, biscuits, gravy etc. don't do that much anymore.

7. All of the above plus hamburgers. |

They are never cooked evenly enough nor long enough for me.

10. I'd agree on the chicken salad part. |
|
I don't like egg salad and tuna salad so much though. Oh, and salmon. I love it when prepared by myself or my husband (or a really good restaurant), but I've learned to be fussy due to repeated disappointment with the salmon of others.

11. I'm in agreement, too. |

I like my egg salad and tuna plain, with just mayo and salt and pepper in the egg salad. And I like my egg salad really fine, not big huge chunks of eggs. I don't cut the eggs up, but mash them with a fork (thanks, nuxvomica). And, if you get them elsewhere, they put all manner of things in them, celery, hunks of onion, mustard in the egg salad. I feel the same way about potato salad and I don't trust chicken salad out, always seem to find a bone. I make mine with hard boiled eggs and garlic powder, a recipe I saw on The Food Network. I also make my own pesto: fresh basil, olive oil, pine nuts, salt and two kinds of cheese. There are some things that you can only trust yourself to make... :hi:
