My Top 6 Favorite Foods

One question I'm never asked, but think often of, is what's my favorite food?  It seems like it would be an easy answer, but for someone like me, who's indecisive and a bit picky, it isn't.  The good thing though, is that I know there's no need to limit myself, so without further ado, here's another thing you all can learn about me: My Top 6 Favorite Foods.  It's not really an important issue, but it's something interesting to think about because I could never pick my favorite foods, until now.

Without further ado, the list...

6. Eggs: In the culinary world, there's a saying that eggs make everything better.  I don't know if that's the case, or if that's even a real saying, but I agree with it because I love eggs. They're versatile, quick, and a little healthier compared to other proteins.  Most people like sweet stuff when it comes to breakfast like pancakes and french toast, but I'm never satisfied with that, so give me scrambled eggs or an omelet, and I'm a happy man.
 
5. Fried Rice: There's nothing not to love about fried rice.  It has rice in it, which is one of the most versatile foods in the world, and when combined with meats and vegetables, it can be just as filling as any dish.  Most fried rice is good to me, but like most people, nothing beats mom's home cooking.  Unfortunately, my mom doesn't make the dish as often anymore (especially since I try to eat healthier now), but whenever she cooks it, I notice it.

4. Cheesecake: Not healthy at all with the cream cheese, butter, and sugar content, but any time I see cheesecake, I have to eat it because it tastes so good.  The cheese in a cheesecake is always delicious, but the graham cracker crust has always been underrated to me, which is why I always save the crust for last.

3. Cheeseburger: Cheeseburgers are the only meaty dish to make my list, which is a surprise, considering how much meat I eat (like most people).  Cheeseburgers or burgers usually don't make people's lists of favorite foods because they're so common, and have become popularized because of fast food, but a well-made burger is a wonderful thing.  It's meaty, full of flavor, and they can be so versatile, which I always love, considering how picky I am.

2. Eggplant Parmesan: Eggplant is the first vegetable I was able to eat on a consistent basis as a child, so cover it with cheese and sauce, and you basically increase it to the point of no return.  It's not meat, but when it's well-made, it makes me think I could pull off being a vegetarian sometimes.  Although, I know that's never happening.

1. Sushi: Lastly, my number one favorite food is sushi.  Now, I'm not surprised about this result because I do love sushi, but that wasn't always the case.  As a child, I was hesitant to try it, and hated it when I actually did, but as I got older and my palate changed, I found myself loving the taste.  I'm not one of those people who focuses on texture when I eat food, but for sushi, I find it to be necessary.  Sushi is usually too expensive for me most of the time, but that's why it's my favorite food.  If I'm eating it, it means I'm indulging, and life must be going good.
