I've got a weekend sort-of absolutely free, no kids, no night out, no shopping to do and I'm ignoring the chores.

I was hungry so went to the fridge ( practically empty) and then to the freezer and saw tamales... oh good, I thought, I'd forgotten about those. So, I'm sitting here munching on tamales and searching netflix.

I'd never eaten tamales before moving to Texas, never even heard of them. I like it as an ok-in-a- sausage-kind-of-way meal.

In France I started eating gesiers (google it, it's gross really) and pate de foie gras. Living near the gers, every time you went out for a meal, it was one or the other in a starter so I just started to eat them.

Anything you guys have started eating?

I've started including sprouts in more Mexican recipes.

Mainly mexican too, tamales, sopes, mulas, tostadas etc.

Eating a lot more Korean simply because it's easier to find here.

Oh, I have a list LOL.

I was raised with Heinz Baked Beans, Beef Paste, Mushy Peas, and those cans of Spaghetti Bolognese. Sometimes, we would get the Crab Meat Spread.

I hated the stuff. Now, I spend $30 a month getting the stuff shipped to me

Oh, I misunderstood the point. Sorry.

So, my answer is Perogies. Always on sale, buy them, and never actually cook them.

Yup they are pretty good. Used to eat at my workplace cafeteria with a colleague who is of Slovak ancestry. He always moaned, "these pierogies are not as good as my mother's". I noticed that he would always eat a heaping plateful, though. Mind you, I believe his mother died a good few years ago.

I love the taco trucks, couple of carne asada tacos yummy.

Yea, Mrs. Paul's perogies are passable when you don't have the real thing. I've been making my own for over 40 years. Grandma from the old country taught me and my mother. Lots of work to making them but would make 12 dozen twice a year to fill the freezer for Easter and Christmas Eve dinners.

There's a Polish food stall that comes about once a month to Tarrytown farmers' market. Don't care for perogies so much but I love their bigos (Polish hunters' stew - pork, paprika and sauerkraut, yum).

I don't eat any vegetables at all (apart from spuds). I've started eating green beans though. I've learnt it's not the vegetable, but the way it's cooked. Back home, every vegetable is boiled till it turns to mush. Here, the wife cooks green beans in a pan with bacon. Bacon makes everything taste good.

Bacon, butter, & cheese!

Steamed veggies have a nice texture too!

French cuisine is one reason I moved here nearly 30 years ago, love it, make our own Toulouse sausages, patees and confits for the year every November
