Ranika's food meme

now that kevin has written, i will try my best to attempt to answer the food meme. This is whatever comes to my mind when i see the 10 questions. 

1. If you had the chance to choose your last meal, what, where, with whom would it be?
If i had the ability to decide my last meal, aka not lying on my deathbed old and haggard, i would choose the most delicious food that i can think of. This is a no holds bar, who cares about price session. foie gras, truffles (both the fungus and the chocolate), Pokka carrot juice, Coke, and the fattiest kou ba that you can think of, must melt in your mouth. I think i may get a stomachache after that. But i would like to have the meal with my loved ones, in a cosy setting, maybe at home?

2. What would your favourite food/kind of food be, and why?
I have a super sweet tooth, i LOVE sweet stuff.  i like desserts, as they always seem so warm and comfy. makes you wanna just curl up in front of the jukebox or tv, and while the time away.

3. What is your best food smell memory?
Baked bread. The smell that awaits you as you open the oven and smell the unique scent of baked bread, especially when you baked it yourself. 

4. Who is your favourite TV chef?
Favourite has 2 meanings, a) i like the chef, b) i like the food. For a) it is this quirky little show, where the chef drives around in this giant toaster van, and cooks right out of the van. very unique. For b) it would most definitely be MARTHA STEWART. love her food, but it is debatable about the great chef herself. 

5. If you were on a deserted island, what 1 food would you have with you?
something like willy wonka's magical chewing gum, a meal in a gum. hopefully it will be invented by then, and i will have a gum that gives me any flavour i can think of. i cant live without variety. 

6. What is okra, and can you name a dish it is used in?
It is lady's finger, a vegetable. (i would know cause i set the questions, haha). it is commonly used in stir-fries and indian curries. 

7. What food can you absolutely not stand to eat/ not eat?
Anything bitter, especially bittergourd. everyone says that if cooked well, bittergourd is really good, but i can never stand the taste, the horribly bitter taste. It is so bad, that i cant even take wine, as the tannins in the wine are overpowering. 

8. What is Dulce de leche/ what does Dulce de leche sound like? (no checking internet please)
it is unfair for me to answer this, as i set the Q, but if you really wanna know, i took the name off wiki. 

9. What is your cookie of choice?
not overly sweet, but aromatic with the taste of nuts and chocolate. it is rich and decadent, but still has a slight crisp to it. 

10. What is your signature dish?

i wish i had a signature dish, but my dream dish would be something that i can bake, maybe this massive cake, that melts in your mouth. maybe 10 years down the road this would be a reality, but i hope to find this special dish soon:)
