Food Lover.

I said in class that my favorite food is eggplant parm, but I honestly don't think I can commit to any food the grand title of My Favorite Food. I said eggplant parm in class because that is what I was craving at the moment, although it definitely is a favorite dish of mine. In my opinion, almost anything can be good if it is made with a combination of cheese and tomatoes. But what makes eggplant parm stand out so far above the rest of these dishes in my mind is really the texture. One cannot find the the mushy melty texture of eggplant parm in any other tomatoe-cheese combo dishes, such as certain pastas and chicken. There are also many fruits, vegetables, and assorted desserts which compete with eggplant parm for this high rank. I cannot think of any food more refreshing than a nice apple. The crisp body and flavor of the apple can top off any meal and always leaves me satisfied. I also enjoy berries very much. Berries are treated sort of as a delicacy in my household. This is because they are rather expensive in comparison to other fruits, so my mom would not buy them as much, and because everybody in my family loves them. Don't even get me started on my favorite type of berry...I could never decide! But what I do know is I love the juicy, sweet yet tart experience that berries provide for me. Skipping the vegetable section, or else I would never get to my other homework, I have to say that desserts are definitely up there on my list of favorite foods. Honestly, what is better than good chocolate? My favorite combination of sweet flavors is probably chocolate and coconut. The only thing that will get me to eat in Haffner Dining Hall this year will be the oatmeal-chocolate chip-coconut-macadamia nut cookies. A take on the ever popular dessert known as the seven layer bar, or as I like to call them heaven layer bar, which are also a favorite of mine!
