Food related questions that will make you hungry

What is a food you loved as a child but do not enjoy anymore?
Sardines
What’s a food you used to dislike but now enjoy? What changed?
Garlic. I hated it for a long time, but then I discovered pickled garlic, which somehow got to love regular garlic and now I just want it all the time.
If you could eat only one cuisine for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
Asian (which is technically multiple cuisines, I know, thus possibly cheating)
What food instantly makes you feel comforted or happy?
Fries
What food reminds you most of your childhood?
It's a tie between tomatoes, strawberries, or mac & cheese
Are there any foods you think are overrated?
Caramel
What traditional dish from your country would you recommend to a visitor?
Not so much my country, but my geographic area: fire pit/barbecued salmon (in season) or oysters cooked in a campfire (in season)
or fresh crab boiled (in season)
Who is the best cook you know, and what makes their food special?
I'm going to say my mom, just because she is a good cook and she's always wanting to learn how to make new things

Getting to know me

origin of your username: Way back in the day, I made sure none of my usernames matched for reasons and at the time I made my AO3 account, this was a recent nickname because of my hair. I made my DW account not long afterwards and for some reason on a whim, I decided that my AO3 & my DW names should match, but only them.

i always order this food: It depends. Diner food: burger meal. Mexican: fish tacos. The local Thai restaurant: drunken noodles. Sushi: something with salmon. Breakfast: hasbrowns. Chinese food: I order something different every time. But if it's all unknown & I am not feeling adventurous, fries. They are the safe comfort food.

Apparently, it's the blue hug emoji.

current favorite show:
I'm in the midst of my big complete franchise rewatch of Stargate and it's eaten my brain anew.

current favorite book:
Hunger's Bite by Robin Taylor

current favorite video game:
Not really playing either one, but I've gotten back into watching a lot of Cult of the Lamb and Call of Duty fan content.

Author created character playlists for/from Hunger's Bite

Squishing gummy bears between two fingers and watching them spring back into shape.
