Well, out of these choices at least, what do you think is the overall healthiest food? (ie, not necassarily the one with the lowest calories, but the one that will overall contribute to your bodies well being)
If you have any other suggestions, post them in this thread and I will make a new poll with the winner of this thread and the new choices.
Rice?? Patatoes(orwutever)??? pasta????
poll needs
I demand the addition of Pork Fat to this poll.
Salmon. Tastes like crap but it's a strongmans dream.
lol, I am with you SFTS, FISH! It tastes great (you accidently said otherwise, but I know what you meant ~;)), and it is as healthy as heck.
To everyone else, do not worry, I will make a new poll in a few days with the new additions, for now vote on what you think is healthiest out of these choices.
EDIT: OMG Lemur! *barf* lol, is that real?
Some fish is good like tuna and catfish. Salmon is probably the best for you but worst tasting.
Vuk, you know it! Real as the U.S. of A., baby! And then there's Baconnaise! As a comic put it, "It's for when you want heart disease but are too lazy to mix the bacon and the mayonnaise."
Strike, you do know that you're supposed to cook the salmon, right? Unless you're eating sushi, that is.
OMG! lol, and I thought that Tofu was bad! :PQuote:

Try cooking your salmon with some garlic, onion, tomato, chilli, lime and corriander. Then tell me it tastes crap.
Trout on the other hand tastes like mud no matter what you do with it.
DAMMIT! It's a public poll, now you all know I'm a cannibal, the secret is out :no:
~;) Noob, trout is king's food. ~;)Quote:

Preparation:
Pre-Heat oven to around 400 deg.
Fill baking sheet or hotel pan (longer than fish fillet) with around 1/4"-3/8" oil (Olive oil is fine if it isn't extra virgin [which burns to easily]). The wall of the pan should be deep enough to hold the fish and oil, without spilling.
Now,
Take a full length fillet of salmon, skin still on, descale.
Season flesh side completely (nice blend of salt, peppers, spices, and herbs... such as tarragon, thyme, and marjoram.
Place fillet SKIN DOWN in baking sheet
Top with 1/8 slices of lemon and 1/4 slices of Tomato.
Bake in oven for around 20-30 minutes, depending on desired crispness.
Sounds pretty good, but just doesn't have that manly flare to it! I say bread it in cruched potato chips and fry it in olive oil. :beam: (server with cubed potatoes and slice hotdogs also fried in olive oil)Quote:

I suppose I should eat more fish, but I dislike most sorts except tuna. Salmon is okay when properly prepared but not more than that (either that or I'm a lousy cook)
lol, those French intestines are sissy food. If you want a real sausage, go Polish. ~;) Best darned sausages in the whole world are Polish. When you boil them, they are so darned good that the very scent of them makes you sweat.Quote:

Hehe, I'm suddenly reminded of a part in American Psycho (the book, wich I picked up last week) where the main character coats a urinal cake in chocolate and has it served to his girlfriend as a desert.Quote:

I married a professional chef, so I get a huge variety, all of it shockingly tasty. That woman can do things to a slab of fish that you would not believe. Not two nights ago we had salmon tartar with capers and onions on a bed of baby spinach with green beans. I know, it's a rough life, but somebody's got to live it.
Vegemite, chili peppers
Salmon tastes good cooking in a part milk part water combination, sounds a bit weired but it softens the salmon up lovely and i guess makes it have a creamier taste/texture.
Fish in general FTW!
Healthy as heck usually.... Salmon, Cod, Tuna, i don't think i have tried a fish i didn't like, don't know how many outside those 3 i have tried though...
I guess the only issue is they can have hell of a smell sometimes...
lol, you serious? How would you and your wife like to adopt me? :beam:Quote:

Think there are any Female Master Chefs out there (who are super models on the side) and looking for a slightly overwieght game junky/history nut named Vuk? :beam:
I'm sorry, I'm cajun. I was talking about our Andouille and Boudin.Quote:

Beef.
Half the battle's mental and beef guarantees that I'll win that half. Plus men need protein.
EDIT: And it has no mercury, but growth hormones for big muscles instead!
Or better, someone has to cook while she is working at the restaurant (or did she quit that would be ace)Quote:
