The Great Food Debates

The Accidental Hedonist blog has turned into one of my favorite blogs, and they frequently post interesting things and pose interesting questions. Recently, they wrote about the Great Food Debates. See below for my answers. What are your preferences and favorites? Any other debates to add?

Coke or Pepsi?
Personally, I’m not a huge soda person, and am actually trying to cut it from my diet, but if I had to choose? Coke! Most definitely.

Thick crust or thin for your Pizza?
Actually, I think there’s a time and a place for both. But if I had to choose one? Thin.

Rare or Well Done for you steak?
Somewhere in-between—medium!

Hot Dogs or Hamburgers?
Oh really? I’ve got to choose? There’s something about a hot dog at the ballpark…but I guess overall? Hamburger.

Ketchup or Mustard on your hot dog?
Gulp. Full disclosure? I like mayo on my hot dogs! With a touch of ketchup. YUM

Cake or Pie?
Again, time and place?? A Fourth of July picnic? Pie. After a day of berry picking? Pie! But in general? Cake. Ice cream cake, please.

Brownies with a fine, glossy crust, or soft cake brownies?
Fine glossy crust! For sure. We’re not eating brownie cake are we?

Nuts in the brownies?
I don’t think so.

Vanilla or Chocolate ice cream?
Vanilla. It’s so simple, clean and elegant. And perfect on it’s own and to accompany something else!

Blue cheese or ranch dressing with your Buffalo wings?
Well, I don’t love Buffalo wings. Probably because most people make them too spicy and hot for me (what can I say, when it comes to heat, I have a weak palate.) But if I have to choose? Ranch. And lots of celery sticks please.

Soup or Salad?
Probably salad. Only because I actually really like soup—and tend to be more picky about soups.

Butter on your Popcorn?
Only a little—and preferably it’s real butter.

Pork or Beef barbecue?
Really? You’re really asking? Sigh. Pork. Of course.

Coffee or tea?
Again, I like both! One cup of coffee in the morning, and then it’s all about tea. Black tea, red tea, green tea. I like it all.

Beer from a can or a bottle?
Bottle. Always bottle. Why would you ever drink beer from a can?

Oreos or Hydrox?
I’m an Oreo girl. Maybe it has a little to do with the fact that I like their commercials?

Little Debbie or Hostess?
Neither. We weren’t allowed to have these super sweet treats when I was young, and have never really developed a taste for them.

Bacon or Sausage?
Bacon! Come on people! (Ok, although I do love the ‘sausage’ patties that came with the McDonald’s Big Breakfast that my sister and I would share when we were kids on the occasional Saturday morning!)

Eggs Scrambled or Fried?
Fried—but only if the yolk is still runny.
