what would you eat if you could.....dream menu

[twirl]

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 

[devon]

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.

[jbeany]

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!

[boxman55]

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.

[twirl]

   it is a dream menu you could eat steak  tar-tar if you like ( isn't that raw meat)

[KT0930]

I just didn't want people to wonder why I couldn't have it now...just give me three more months, though!

[RichardMEL]

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!

[kitkatz]

Iced grapefruit juice
pancakes with warm real maple syrup
scrambled eggs with salsa
sourdoughtoast
hashbrowns

Wait, that was breakfast this morning..Just kidding!

[flip]

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.

[bolta72]

I pretty much eat what I want, but in small servings and a few binders.

[meadowlandsnj]

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
                          this is make believe , not in the real world
                          we have our dreams.....when you dream........dream big
                          and in dreams you don't weight or bring physlo, or limit fluids
                                                           

[twirl]

[keith]

my perfect meal is a beef brisket dat has been made in my own rub mix and smoked 4 10-12 hrs wit BBQ sauce add @the end some grilled corn on de cob, it a mild sauce sum grilled veggies. Along wit it go sum beef ribs fish cooked in a banana leaf and sum fried chicken and pineapple upside-down cake made wit rum surrounded by watermelon,cantaloupe,and pineapple balls dat was soaked in rum

[monrein]

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. 

[twirl]

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----
          sounds like a jamanican holiday

[LightLizard]

if i could i would love to scarf down a big bowl of kraft dinner and sliced, boiled weiners.
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.
