Green and Rice-- good stuff. I eat rice almost ever day sometimes -- it is a staple and so good for me. Real rice, rinsed and washed. We buy it in 20 lb sacks. It lasts forever.

I lived in Texas when I was going to school for software engineering a few years ago. Had a lot of Southern foods; a lot of greens, ham\pork, biscuits and gravy (which I love!), pecan pie, and chicken -fried-chicken with gravy on top. I did not like the environment of Texas so well but I love the Southern food especially the Black Soul food. Delicious, filling, and fattening. Lord knows I need to gain weight.

I cook alot but my girlfriend cooks more often for me-- real Spanish food (not that Tex-Mex stuff that I cannot even stomach) She fattens me up with the plantains, rice, ribs, porkchops, guave pastries, bananas, soups, pasta, - you name it she cooks it. We eat a lot of Middle Eastern food too-- hummus, grapeleaves, pita bread. Anything curried, too. We also love to bake homemade bread-- there's nothing like that-- add some pancake mix to the flour, eggs, and yeast and you have some of the bread, warm bread EVER.

Here are a few "good" meals for us students. Exact cooking times and quantities are not included here, mainly because I make this stuff "on the fly" depending on how I want it.

Take 1 tin of Campbells Meatballs (or any other brand)
1 or more crusty rolls
Cheese - any type
Pepper

Now, cook the meatballs with some pepper and slap it into the rolls. Cover in cheese and wait for it to melt. Cheap, quick, easy and rather tasty after a night out.



Another one is what I like to call the Heart Stopper.

Take 1 bag of any flavour chrisps
Take a small amount of butter
A few slices of thick cut bread
1 tin of beans
2 eggs
Bacon
Curry powder

Now, what you want to do is put the butter into a pan. Then add your crisps. Cook them until they are slightly soggy from the butter. Then add the beans to this mixture, along with some curry powder (feel free to leave this out). Another good tip is to add some extra tomato sauce just to get it much tastier

Whilst you are doing this fry both the eggs and the bacon. Once the eggs are cooked, I break the yoke and pour it all over the bread. I then eat the white on it's own.

Next take your bacon and layer it on the bread, followed straight after by the beans/crisps mix. Now it's a race against time to eat this baby before the bread melts. After you finish this you can take on the world!

It is a good idea to have a few cocktail sticks to hold this bad boy together though. Plus every so often I like to shake it up a notch by adding loads of chips to it

Wow this thread makes me incredibly hungry.
Looks like we have a lot of cooks on DaniWeb.

Aloha Miss Christina welcome to the "Foodie thread~!

WOW! Looks like I missed a couple of recipes! Anyway .. passed all my Physical tests so i can try to cook some of these recipes and eat them

I gotta get back some of my winter fat ... It's colder here that it is in HI.

Matty and RW the recipes sound great .. Is the heart stopper breakfast or a late nite snack for an all niter.

Whichever you want, I normally made it the morning after a big night out. But it's good at anytime

Thanks
