Favorite Foods:

My favorite foods...too many to mention. I love food in general, with sushi, microbrew/imported beers, hearty bread and chocolate being anytime favorites. When I'm hungry, I think first of fresh vegetables.

I'm famous for my red velvet cake, my two-potato gratin, and my peanut soup with rice and scallions.

My favorite restaurant...again, too many to mention. I can find something to enjoy almost anywhere, including fast food.

There's a relatively concise group of things I won't eat, so this is a short list. I'm not fond of things flavored with rose water; I won't eat anything that's still alive; rotting food has no appeal.
