Survey
From serenejournal:
Q. What is your salad dressing of choice?
Oil and vinegar, specificallyloracs's oil and vinegar. As a kid, I used to like French which seems to have disappeared in restaurants around here. I also sometimes order Thousand Island (where do you suppose it got that name?) Wow, I had no idea I had so much to say about dressing!
Q. What is your favorite fast food restaurant?
IN-N-OUT Burger.
Q. What is your favorite sit-down restaurant?
I miss East Village. I guess the Englander or maybe Beckett's. I like pub food.
Q. On average, what size tip do you leave at a restaurant?
Somewhere between 15 and 20%, unless I'm withserenejournal and then it's 20 or 25%. :)
Q. What food could you eat every day for two weeks and not get sick off of?
I get in food ruts all the time. I'm a sandwich guy, cheeseburgers, salami and cheese, even peanut butter and jelly. I could eat any of those for two weeks.
Q. What are your pizza toppings of choice?
Pepperoni and mushroom, other ingredients could be added, but I don't see much point to pizza without pepperoni.
Q. What do you like to put on your toast?
I like cinnamon toast other possibilities:, plain butter, peanut butter and butter, peanut butter and grape jelly, orange marmalade and butter.

I don't chew gum much anymore, but when I do, are like bubblegum or juicy fruit nothing mint flavored.
