What foods make you feel good?

i've noticed that most stuff involving ginger and some chiles makes me feel peaceful and just... good.

also things involving sesame oil esp. with the above two

(eating, not just looking at them)

CHOCOLATE

fresh bread (as long as i don't eat the whole loaf)

a heaping bowl of hot noodles, any kind

Vegetable sushi

Hatch green chile makes me feel radiant!
I am also a fan of the baked potato.

Oxtail stew is the third.

Oatmeal.

Alternately, grits.

motherfucking phở

Greens, grits, tart cherries, citrus, Chartreuse, genmai cha. Hm. Gs and Cs.

fried eggs draped over a bed of rice/pasta and drenched in tomato sauce/salsa

Beer

seconding ginger. aromatics and fresh herbs and "aromatherapy" type foods.

but if we're talking about gluttony: carbs and cheese.

rhubarb pie

lasagna until i eat too much of it

i've never had rhubarb pie. i need to try it at some point.

kale
chocolate
excellent roast chicken
bbq spare ribs
vegemite toast :D

ohhhh my mum's stewed rhubarb

it's not like rhubarb/strawberry pies are bad (i think they are more prevalent than pure rhubarb), but it's like hedging one's bets -- unnecessarily imo

these saltines i'm eating atm

crab
curry
cheese

chickpeas
mashed potato
home made chicken/veggie soup

thai beef salad
pho
fresh sushi
greek yoghurt + berries

apples when they are really crisp + a bit sour

avocados. partly because delicious, but also because they feel like some kind of holy special gift. sometimes if something is wrong, like my skin flares up, i figure i just haven't been eating enough avocados.

and also pecans.

(no-one has said honey?)

som tum
pho
apples

rocket
bananas
weetabix
anchovies
potatoes
seafood in all forms
garlic and chilli and onions
pork belly
plums

What is it with avocados? I love them too, but to be honest they don't have much flavor yet people will decide on something on the menu solely because they're included, almost regardless of the other ingredients.

A really good hamburger
A really good omelette
Hot cereals - grits, oatmeal, cream of wheat, rice pudding

More literally -- just about anything at a Vietnamese restaurant makes me feel healthy and invigorated, unless I eat too much.

Chili and ginger 100% OTM. Tomatoes too. I attribute the fact I look younger than I am to a high-tomato diet.

Tonight I think I will make a chili and ginger fish noodle hotpot in honour of this thread.

strawberries
grapefruit
orange juice

vegemite toast :D

Marmite and butter on hot toast made from granary bread.

Coffee from Indonesia

Toasted Bagels with butter and strawberry jam

I like looking at peppers.

you perv

Falafel
Chocolate rugelach
Popcorn
Onion Rings
Really good, sweet green grapes

Hatch green chile makes me feel radiant!

I would never describe myself as radiant, but roasted green chiles definitely make me feel good.

kale
raw red pepper slices
mango
lean beef

looks like thai and vietnamese foods are uh, hot performers in this thread
