Eating Until You Pop!

[Bugbear]

What's your favorite feast food and drink, and how do you prefer to feast on it?
If you wish, include the celebration, holiday, or event at which the feast or significant dinner would occur.
Don't forget the side dishes etc.

Thank you.

I am sure there are many more refined than I, but nothing beats deep dish Chicago pizza. It's a feast anytime, no side dishes needed.

I don't know; for pure pig out food, it's hard to beat pizza, from deep dish to thin.

The more refined I am feeling, the less I want to pig out.

Homemade noodles over mashed potatos is my weakness. Can't get enough at Thanksgiving, Christmas, or for that matter other times of the year when the family gets together.

Hoppy beer, with unlimited cheese, nuts, fruit, salumi, various crackers (totally optional), and chutneys. I've been to pubs that refer to this as a Ploughman's board. It is THE comfort food for me.

A close second is a big breakfast buffet, strong coffee, and bloody marys. There is a place near my home that has Saturday and Sunday "Bloody Mary Bar" - it's basically a Salad Bar for your Bloody Mary, you order a large glass of ice and vodka, go to the bar, and make it your way.

I think my favorite meal, when growing up, was broiled pork chops (on the bone), fried potatos (sliced into 'chips' and fried in a little oil in the skillet), warmed cinnamon applesauce and either corn or green beans (flavored with a little ham or bacon). Plenty of milk to drink. Finish it off with a slice of pecan pie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Hmmm, I'm thinking a visit to the grocery is in order sometime soon. I'll be tired of turkey before too long.

Hard to beat the corned beef and cabbage argument here. However, given that it's Thanksgiving here in the U.S., I have to admit that I'm looking forward to turkey, stuffing with gravy, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and whatever else my wife and my mother conspire to feed me. Hence the reason for the 5" of adjustment on the kilt strap...

For me, favorite food often depends on the location.

Germany - schweins haxen, mass of dark bier, a good pretzel, followed by schnapps.
UK - a second vote for the full ploughmans or a good fry up in the morning, especially if black and white pudding are involved.
US - turkey, sauerkraut with red cabbage, mashed taters, peas, followed by a great bread pudding (every try Irish soda bread pudding with whiskey sauce?), or if that is not available, pumpkin pie. My wife is starting on the pies as I type...then off to our daughter's for the day.

Pork, "country ribs", simmered all day in crock pot.... fall-off-the-bone tender, melt-in-your-mouth..... um.
