Class Assignment - Quickwrite - "How to Eat a Guava" Favorite Food
It is very hard to choose an 'absolute favorite food'. But if I asked myself: What food could I live off of for the rest of my life without getting sick of it? I choose potatoes. It is not everyone's first choice of favorite food, and it is generally quite 'broad', but I love everything potato-related. For me, everything tastes better with potato (the same way people argue the rules of bacon). You could literally put potatoes with anything. I have a life goal of being able to learn to cook, bake, fry, etc. potato in every way possible to learn. So far, I pride myself in being able to make more potato dishes than most (if not all) of my friends. My obsession with potato started in Belgium. In Europe, nobody eats rice, like people in Taiwan do. Instead, their staple food is mainly potato. Therefore, in cooking class, I learned many, many different ways to cook potato. In almost every country I visit in Europe, I was served potato in the restaurants. I like eating potatoes no matter which way its cooked. One of my fondest memories of Belgium is being hungry at night, and laying out sliced potato chips (after it's been boiled, of course) on a casserole dish, and pouring melted cheese on top of it. Then I put it in the oven and wait for it to be baked. The outcome is this hot, cheesy, golden, and crispy-on-the-outside combination of potato chips and cheese. It is the best thing to eat on winter nights. Another one of my favorites is mashed potato. I really enjoy eating soft, warm mashed potato with bacon and eggs. Some other of my favorite potato dishes include latkes, dauphines potatoes, hash browns, and, of course, the most popular potato chips and fries.
