I answered this in Dream Dinners when I first read it I thought it was about what you would dream to eat.
I was afraid no one would read it thinking it was about the company, Dream Dinners.
My Dream Dinner
Lousiana Seafood Gumbo large bowl
hushpuppies with hot green tomato sauce with slices of green tomatoes
crab claws with red sauce
gallon of very cold unsweetened ice tea, 12 ounces of any kind of beer, what the hell, make it 16 ounces
ice cold strawberries and peaches

Twirl this is really going to show up the differences between the countries, I don't know what some of the things you both fancy are - but Hushpuppies are shoes in the UK :)
-
A whole side of Ribs, garlic potates, green beans and beer to wach it down.
Then, Maryland-style Crabs with lots of Old Bay seasoning and... beer to wash it down.
Finally, Key Lime pie with great conversation and laughs around the dinner table while we all digest our meal. Oh and strong coffee, preferably Community Coffee - French Roast... to wash it all down.
Jeeze... that was good, just Dreaming about it! Thanks Twirl!

I know what you mean, people from London eat toads in pudding. ??? I will post recipes for hushpuppies in the recipe section.
the older the shoe; the better the hushpuppy

i would have an entire cantaloupe!!! i limit myself to one or two small bites each year.
the perfect meal would be an extra large lobster
fresh vegies
and a hot fudge sundae
rose: hushpuppies are shoes here too, but they are also little fried corn meal bites sometimes known as corn fritters.

Anything cooked by my dad - I miss him! To be specific - homemade Christmas dinner the way we used to have it when my parents were both still alive - venison steak, lobster tail, mashed potatoes, the family favorite salad, squash, black olives, gram's homemade fridge pickles, homemade dinner rolls made with the sweet dough we used for the cinnamon rolls that morning, 6 kinds of homemade favorite cookies for dessert, and a couple of sneaking bites of dad's fudge, as soon as we figure out where he hid the pan. And while I'm dreaming, no binders, no insulin, a bottomless glass of milk to drink with it, and no gastroparesis to bug me when I over eat!
-
A few bottles of wine. (to share of course)
Fresh fruit salad (strawberrys, watermelon, cantilope,grapes, banana's)
T-Bones grilled medium rare
Baked potatoes with bacon bits and sour cream
Fresh baked oven rolls
baked yellow squash
Portabello mushrooms sauted in butter and garlic
Strawberry cheesecake for dessert

Let me preface this part...I have been told that any meat I eat for the first six months after my transplant has to be cooked to well-done. I usually eat my steaks medium rare, so there's no way I'm going to eat one well-done!
Having said that, my favorite restaurant has a filet mignon that they cover with demi glace and serve with french fries - which I always have with extra demi glace - along with a really good glass of red wine, preferably Zinfandel. For dessert, 5 Leches, which is bite size pieces of a pound cake made with five types of milk; each bite has a different topping: chocolate; roasted vanilla beans; raspberry; pineapple; and caramel.
-
:mysty: it is a dream menu you could eat steak tar-tar if you like ( isn't that raw meat)
-
I just didn't want people to wonder why I couldn't have it now...just give me three more months, though!
-
food not so fussed about though scalloped potatoes sound nice about now.... but to DRINK!!!
While part of me would love to be able to chug down a few cold beers... I think even more I'd just love to drink large cold glasses of fruit juice - like Apple or Orange, or coke with lots of ice, or iced coffee... for hot drinks - hot chocolate with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles... and bananas to eat
oh and a hot fudge sundae with ice cream, hot fudge sauce and whipped cream.....
chocolate of course!
-
Iced grapefruit juice
pancakes with warm real maple syrup
scrambled eggs with salsa
sourdoughtoast
hashbrowns
Wait, that was breakfast this morning..Just kidding!
-
Deluxe pizza with a frosty mug of draft beer.
-
I have stopped craving most of the foods we are not supposed to eat, but recently one item
keeps popping into my mind, a banana split done the old way, not the DQ way.
Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream, pineapple, chocolate and strawberry toppings, sliced banana, with
whipped cream, nuts and a cherry. There, I hoped I dove the devil out of my head by writting it down.
-
I pretty much eat what I want, but in small servings and a few binders.

A big bowl of boiled potatos with butter and salt and pepper. SImple but so YUMMY!!!!
A vanilla milkshake
PIZZA! (I had a slice last week though after my bloodwork)
I also pretty much eat what I want within reason. I drink Coke, eat chocolate--small amounts, though. I'm not going to go out and eat a whole banana or a large potato, a small taste is fine with me. I won't eat bland, non tasting food. If I want an ice cream cone I'm going to have one but a small one with maybe a 1/4 cup ball of ice cream like they do in Italy.
I eat cheese every now and then with binders. My K was 4.9 and my phos was 5.3 last bloodwork.

How does this work for you? I ask because that's my plan when I start dialysis. Moderation seems like the key, but how hard is it? Also, how are your dialysis sessions? I'll probably be on hemo in the next few months. I've tried so hard to eliminate certain items, but just can't! I take Tums after every meal and snack and so far my phos and potassium are always within range.
Good for you, I say.

Kellyt it is not always easy to stay on a renal diet, this is my third year

I would go back to Hashimoto's, a great Japanese restaurant, for their ten course, three hour long Kaiseki menu. The dinner is cooked around the foods in season(spring, summer, fall and winter) and everything is flown in from Japan. Even the soy sauce is specially made in a Mom and Pop operation just outside Kyoto. T he chef is also very artistic and the presentation is amazing.
Here are three examples from the last time I was there in 2007. I'd then fly to Paris and spend two weeks hitting all my favorite restaurants in France with special emphasis on the Southwest region.
-
Keith fruit balls soaked in rum------------ I want that------- would it count for fluid------ who would care about a few balls-----
you have such beautiful food ( I can visualize your table) and Marley in the background---- :guitar:
sounds like a jamanican holiday
-
if i could i would love to scarf down a big bowl of kraft dinner and sliced, boiled weiners. >:D
go figger... i was pretty much a 'health nut' as far as food goes, before i got 'sick.'
kraft dinner was the last thing i would eat, then. but now that i can't have it, i want it badly.
with ketchup, please.
and a cold beer.
and a joint for later.
thanks.
i'll wait here...

I'll be right over LL. Just one question, what's The Wife going to have ready for us when the munchies hit.
-
Beef liver smothered in onions with mashed potatoes and gravy and black-eyed peas with a large chocolate shake
-
OMG you backwoods people know how to eat
no one will eat liver/onions but me so I never cook it, I go to Luby's (not the same)
and mashed potatoes and black eyed peas-------- sounds like my next dream meal
is the secret to good eatin' placing your washing machine on the porch------ if so, I will move mine

-
I didn't say I was having it.....just dreaming about it
-

-
Twirl, where are you from?
I LOVE Luby's! I usually get the LuAnn Fried Fish.

Ahh man, beef liver, bacon and onions the ultimate I love it...Boxman
-
I am in Conroe, Texas
I grew up where the Woodlands is now located
love Luby's
fried fish, liver and onions, cabbage and I could go on and on --- anything with strawberries
the fish and liver are the best
if you are around this part of the world do not eat in the Woodland's Luby's
eat in the Conroe Lubys's
I have the recipes for the mac and cheese--- bought a cook book years ago------ it is the same!
-
Ahh man, beef liver, bacon and onions the ultimate I love it...Boxman

-
Oohhh twirl... could you share the mac and cheese recipe ....... pleeeaaassseee :bow;
-

-
That would be great! Thanks, Twirl. What about their pumpkin pie recipe? Do they make their own pies?
mmmmm, Luby's. :2thumbsup;
-
I am looking for my Luby's cookbook and will look for pumpkin pie
post ya' later
-
Monrein - what exactly are each of the dishes you posted in the photos?
I pretty much eat what I want too.. but being on daily home-hemo definitely helps with that. Everything in moderation as well!
I wish I could eat more cheese though.. I love cheese! And I absolutely loveeeeeeeeeee seafood and fruits. Littleneck clams on the bbq I loveee.. and softshell crabs, mmmm.
Lately I've been eating blueberries like mad, they're a great snack!
I dont know what my dream dinner would be though.
Red Lobster has these new Lobster covered mashed potatos that are soooo good but you can just tell they're bad for you by looking at them. :banghead;
-
did I understand you correctly
mashed potaotes covered in lobster
sounds so gooooooood
I am doing the blueberries also
-

I'm 28 and actually pretty much just started eating blueberries this year. I can't believe what I was missing!
And yes - mashed potatoes covered in lobster with this lobstery (is that a word? haha) gravy-ish sauce on it. I took a pic of them the other day with my phone as soon I get the pic off the phone I'll post it. :)
-
Anything with potatoes, but really would like chees scallopped potaotes with bacon bits on top.
Chilli, hot
Spicey Foods
Lasagna
Cheese, lots of it
Smoked Almonds
and anything else that easily raises my lab levels over the normal range.

Alrightstill, those pics are three courses of a ten course seasonal (fall) menu.
1. A chestnut course. In the bowl is rice cooked in bonito broth with bits of chestnut throughout. Soft textures. The chips are deep-fried slices of chestnut and the thing that looks like a chestnut popping out of its casing is a roasted then grilled chestnut inside a shell made of shrimp and egg whites then rolled in pieces of noodle and deep-fried. Light and fluffy but crunchy with intense shrimp taste.
2. Thin layer of savory, warm gelatin topped with fish steamed in seaweed with baby radish, hand cut piece of adult radish (daikon, the japanese variety), carrot flower and delicious sauce of unknown-to-me ingredients.
The thin strips of green on top are the zest of a type of japanese lime with intense citrus kick.
3. Delicate flavoured green pepper (a variety from Japan) dipped in sake then rolled in tiny beads of puffed cereal and deep-fried, slices of deep-fried sushi roll (no raw fish here however) with soba noodles inside wrapped with a ribbon of fish then the rice layer then the seaweed and the extremely light batter on the outside. The marvel here is in the variety and subtlety of the textures. The carved crane is eaten with the carrot sauce in the small bowl and I confess to licking the bowl. There is also a clear juice in the bottom of the long dish that was outstandingly delicious and not a drop was returned to the kitchen.
I really love this restaurant Mibarra. They only serve a maximum of 8 people on any given evening and you must reserve a week ahead because they source things from Japan. At the end of the meal, they tale a photo of you and email it to you with the pics of everything you ate. Here we are in October 2007 at my birthday dinner. We were the only people there that evening.

Here's a food question, what are white beans? They are suppose to contain either Calcium or Vitamin D (not looking at my list of foods to eat). Only thing I can think of as white beans are butter beans in a can.
-
Could be the navy bean which is white (they're used for pork and beans) or the Tuscan white bean, cannellini, which is also called a white kidney bean (used in french and italian cooking). In France they're used for the traditional dish, cassoulet, and in Italy they're used in pasta e fagiole.
-
Well pork and beans I have had, but still staying away from due to the tomato base used because of potasium levels, pasta e fagiole I think I have had, but hard to find. The bone doctor wants my nephrologist to put me on a binder so I will eat more of what I like. When I was on dialysis, I was on Phoslo and those where big pills to take. To bad lentil soup wasn't on the list.
-
Half a meat lovers pizza with a 6 pack of beer.
Followed by a large piece of chocolate cake and another 6 pack of beer.
Man I miss beer. Not just being able to drink as much as I want...but the social part.
-
I would eat what I have been missing since I left New Orleans: 5 lbs of crawfish with corn and red potatoes boiled in crab boil, and an overstuffed shrimp poboy dressed. (A poboy to you guys would be a "hoagie" or a "sub". "Dressed" means with lettuce, tomatoe, and pickle). Washed down with an ice cold glass of Coke. And for dessert? A big slab of bread pudding with bourbon sauce from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. God I miss New Orleans!!

I'll go for the bread pudding and skip the rest. Seafood just makes me want to :puke;
haven't had a really good bread pudding in years and never had it with bourbon sauce, that sounds really good.
-
bread pudding! yummm.. . I've had it with bourbon sauce in New Orleans at the Gumbo Shop.
-
Bread Pudding doesn't look all that difficult to make...here are a few recipes, one uses raisin cinnamon bread instead of french:
