My favorite food is spaghetti with fresh green beans. These are also my favorite foods to cook. They are so simple and quick to make. When I was about twelve years old, my dad taught me how to cook spaghetti. The secret is a dash of brown sugar in the spaghetti sauce, along with four other seasonings. I use ground beef and sometimes I switch up the recipe and use Conecuh sausage. I will never be able to cook it as well as him because he cooks every day and he has been cooking for over twenty-five years. Most people's favorite food is steak or something expensive, but my favorite is something simple and inexpensive. It actually fits my personality. I am a really simple, laid back, non-materialistic person. Another reason why this is my favorite food is because I am Italian. If I could choose to eat meals with pasta every day of the week I would. Some of my other favorite foods are chicken fettuccine, three cheese tortellini and shrimp alfredo. Pasta is not too healthy, so I try to only eat it once or twice a week.
My least favorite food would be oysters (most seafood in general). The reason why is because I used to work in a seafood restaurant. Also, the texture and smell gross me out. A lot of people have gotten sick from eating oysters. I have tried a parmesan garlic oyster and a fried oyster and did not like either. Some people say I did not try a fresh oyster and that is why I did not like it. I have tried two and will not eat anymore. Most of the foods I do not like are associated with the smells, texture, and being around that food at my job for multiple years. Some of the foods I do not like are flounder, calamari, scallops and stuffed crab. Although it sounds like I do not eat any seafood, I do like to eat crab claws, crab legs, crawfish, shrimp, and sway occasionally when I am back home where it is fresh.
