Trout almondine, angel hair pasta, chocolate mousse, and of course a Tom Collins.
what the hell is a tom collins??
Tom Collins
2 oz gin
1 oz lemon juice
1 tsp superfine sugar
3 oz club soda
1 maraschino cherry
1 slice orange
In a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine the gin, lemon juice, and sugar. Shake well. Strain into a collins glass almost filled with ice cubes. Add the club soda. Stir and garnish with the cherry and the orange slice.
Now go enjoy one, Kelda!

David,
I never thought of Tom Collins as particularly gay. However, it was my introduction to alcohol. A Catholic high school trip to Ireland, at the age of sixteen. We were there in February, where they rolled up the sidewalks at 7:30. So, we drank in the hotel bar. My best friend was no stranger to alcohol, and tried to get me interested. I didn't care for the taste of beer back then. My friend suggested gin, and the most palatable gin came in the form of a Tom Collins: sweet and tangy at the same time.
I don't think I've had one since. But the deed is done...
Quiche, we all KNOW real men don't eat quiche ;)Hey I love quiche, eggs benedict and of course BBM ;D
(Feel better now, Clarissa? Hope so, Little Darlin'!)
What on earth is jellied madrilene (or even unjellied madrilene, for that matter)?
Alright, I'm going to admit I'm offended by the title of this topic. If it was "Frou frou-est" Food Ever," or sumpn, that would be different to me. But the word "gay" now means "homosexual." It doesn't mean "rarified urban dandy, partially stuck in the 1950s." It's too broad a term to be mocked this way without lumping a huge bunch of people into one type. Not many gay people are actually recreating a Truman Capote dinner party when they sit down to eat every night. (Not that he probably served Strawberry Quik...)
Shall we start a thread called "Blackest Food Ever?" I think they all like fried chicken and watermelon, don't they?
And I'm not lacking a sense of humor - I see what's inherently funny about a list that includes chiffon cake and mimosas, trout almondine and drinks with little umbrellas in them. Would Jack and Ennis get this list? If they don't, are they then not-gay?
And what about all the gay women in the world? Are they included in this brie and arugula-fest?
To conclude my courageous stance to speak up when some of my favorite gay and non-gay people have joined in the humor, I will briefly recap - the only part I mind is the word "gay" being used as the descriptor.
Good, now that I have spoken up to friendly folk, it will be easier the next time it's UNfriendly folk I need to speak up to about their stereotyping.
The creamy beige background flecked with brown and the signature brown rim is most complimentary to the cool, translucency of the consome. Here is where the artfulness comes into play. Use a fork to disturb the can-shaped soup until it resembles a mound of rough 1" cubes.
Good Lord Clarissa, it sounds like they worry more about the china than the soup (it is soup, isn't it?)
This would never happen in Indiana, I can promise you. We're meat and potatoes out here. Slap it on a plate, dump a little A-1 on it and dig in. :)
Hm, are you quite sure you're gay, David? ;) That doesn't sound like the Gayest Eating-style Ever.
haha. So true. Well, Hoosier gay men are Midwestern, and we retain Midwestern habits. We just do it with a lot more class. ;)
I'm probably not the first person to try to come up with a joke around "Hoosier Daddy," am I?
:)
bump! But nobody still told me the difference between ordering a mimosa or a buck's fizz??!!
Note: Although the version listed here, with grenadine, may be the original usage, most British people will understand 'Buck's Fizz' to refer to a mixture of orange juice and champagne; i.e. it is the usual British term for what Americans would call a 'Mimosa'.
I like to drink Sidecars. Are Sidecars gay? :D
Is Smurf Pee and Blue Hawaii's the same drink? I remember ordering Smurf Pee drinks at the bars back in the '80s.
Those were definately gay.
A few years ago, my request for a Sidecar was often met with "are you sure, that's what my grandmother drinks?"
They all seem to involve alot of alcohol, designed to get you smashed in a hurry. Is that gay? You tell me. Seems to be more a characteristic of youngish men.
In my day--college days--30 years ago--youngish straight men just drank great quantities of beer in short spans of time to get smashed in a hurry. At least, that's what they did where I went to school. But maybe times have changed?
No. Now they just go to shot bars and get blasted for about $7 bucks at a $1 per shot.
Back in "the day" (early 1980's) they had "Drink and Drown" every Wednesday night at one of the bars I went to. $5 to get in, and all the well drinks you wanted from 8:00 pm - 3:00 am. The place would be totally packed, and it was a fairly large bar (3 levels).
sidecar
"Like the Martini, the Sidecar has recently experienced a renaissance. The Sidecar was invented in the early 1900's and was popular until the beginning of World War II, but unfortunately was forgotten by most when the War came to an end. A few years ago, my request for a Sidecar was often met with "are you sure, that's what my grandmother drinks?" Luckily, the Sidecar is now enjoying a renewed popularity and can be easily had at most drinking establishments." Brandy or cognac, triple sec, lemon and/or lime juice. Hmm I'd rate it moderately gay.
If you told me your grandmother drinks sidecars, I'd say your grandmother was pretty cool.
My grandmother rarely drank, but she liked grasshoppers: I don't know if it's gay, but it's pretty old-lady. Vodka, creme de cacao, cream and green creme de menthe. Yuk.

I think that sounds well nice!! don#'t know if I fancy a pie made of it though!
My vote for gayest food: tiny portions of ____ with baby carrots served on a giant plate and drizzled with ____.
You can fill in the blanks with whatever.
How about sushi? Is that gay?
How did we switch to drinks when we were talking about food?
The gayest...and I mean gayest cocktails ever...
Champagne Cocktail...I mean holy crap
Brandy Alexander...even bigger holy crap.
I want a beer!!!
Would that be a wheat beer, sir?

No Ma'am...Pabst Blue Ribbon s'all I drink...:) (I don't think they even make it anymore.

Oh, Scott, I love it when you talk butch. ... :laugh:
Remember Schlitz and Schaefer?
"Schaefer is the one beer to have, when you're having more than one..."
When we moved to Chicago we discovered Hamm's...boy, did that beer have great (corny) old fashioned TV ads:
"From the land of sky blue waters...
and the...(insert forgotten lyrics here)
Hamm's the beer refreshing! Hamm's the beer refreshing!"
This was sung by a cartoon Indian beating on an Indian drum around a campfire, as I recall. The beer refreshing? LOL

Ok how gay is that? LOL Well hey there bud, c'mere and I'll talk ta ya some more
Jeff...go over to my blog thread and read my last post...I want your opinion
Salad with cute fancy-cut veggies sitting on a smear of vinaigrette - GAY GAY GAY
OOPs -back to the list of gay and non-gay foods.
mmm a huge steak, now that's manly - but not those pretty little mushrooms.
Salad with cute fancy-cut veggies sitting on a smear of vinaigrette - GAY GAY GAY
just an opinion, think about it.
Since you didn't detail your beverage and dessert, I can only comment on your main course.
I think you are a very beefy guy who would like to be stuffed and heated up.
lol
Unable to compute
Water: in a bottle? wine-glass? tumbler? tin cup?
What is a Red Sox Ice Cream Bar - does it have a stick (mm) chocolate?? a red center??
lol
Red Sox Ice Cream bar=vanilla ice cream, with a chocolate center coverred in chocolate...no stick.
Curt Schilling's picture on the wrapper? ;D
Gayest food ever: pullet
MENU
grilled Delmonico steak and baked stuffed mushrooms
Water=glass
Red Sox Ice Cream bar=vanilla ice cream, with a chocolate center coverred in chocolate...no stick.
Water in a glass is a nonspecific indicator.
I think you are a very beefy guy (with strong european influences) who would like to be stuffed and heated up.
Your dessert carries on with the stuffing theme, and since the coating is like the stuffing, you are very transparent in your desires.
Can't stand that man. Just wanna slap his republican mug. Now put Jason Varitek on it and I would eat it much faster.
I don't like Curt Schilling either. He used to be one of our Phillies, ya know? The most polite thing I can say is, Smug and full of himself.
I think I remember seeing a photo of Jason Varitek somewhere. Or, was he one of the Sox who got a make-over on "Queer Eye"? I just remember thinking, Hmmmm. ...
Yeah he was oe of those...hairy back and all
Jesus H.! How did we get from blue raspberry slushies to Jason Varitek's hairy back? :laugh:
Well in some circles baseball players could be considerred a food item
Depends on the baseball player. (Ref: Gabe Kapler, over at Anything Goes, I think on the Athletic Hotties thread)
Oh he's definately a food item...and he and his wife are the nicest people..I met them a few years ago
We'd better change the direction we're goin', 'fore they kick us off this thread. ;D
No Ma'am...Pabst Blue Ribbon s'all I drink...:) (I don't think they even make it anymore.
Scott,
Yeah, they still make PBR, as the cognoscenti call it. They serve it at my local joint. In the can, of course.(http://www.plan59.com/prints/printart/prints314.jpg)
Look at the slogan in the picture. If he had said, "Right UP my alley," would that have been the Gayest Beer Ever?
:)
I don't know.i
If you think about it hard enough, "right down my alley" sounds pretty gay. It just depends on which....... never mind. :-X
Speaking of petit fours, that reminds me, on a couple of episodes of As Time Goes By there have been references to something, apparently British, called. ...
Fairy cakes.
(I'm not making that up. I have no idea what they might be.)
heheheheh.
There basically just little individual sized sponge cakes with a little icing on top.
They often have another little bit of fairy cake on the top of the icing that look.. I suppose like a pair of wings.

You would call them cupcakes I believe.
You're foolin'! That's all they are? Cupcakes? Here I was imagining something, well, ... gayer. :laugh:
Cupcakes ain't gay enough for ya?
Mme. L, thank you for the histoire du petit four! I didn't know none a that history. Some more petit four art:
...implicit aura of sophistication ...
Meryl, I want that cream puff.
Last night, I was informed that Real Men don't drink wheat beer, and they certainly do not use decaffeinated coffee to wash away the not-masculine-enough taste.
(This was from a man whose idea of good beer is Coors, so.)
(Meanwhile, I was drinking a stout.)
Which brings up the question, what do real women drink? ;)
I think Mel answered it--they drink stout!!
Real women drink white wine. Then they leave it men's refrigerators. Kind of like marking territory.
(Me, a real woman? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: *pees in sink* I'm an ersatz woman; I drink stout and shiraz.)
Little Darlin', you drink that stout and shiraz at the same sittin', I've a feelin' you're gonna need the sink for somethin' other than peein'. ;D
I don't know.
If you think about it hard enough, "right down my alley" sounds pretty gay. It just depends on which....... never mind. :-X
Well, it's not as if I drink either one by the case...
(Actually, at the gathering last night, I had one glass of shiraz, tried to get a projector working, listened to a bunch of people gab, and then drank a bottle of stout while I ate dinner. So actually, I have been known to drink both wine and beer at the same four-hour gathering.)
That sounds like you were OK. You had food. You spread it out. You weren't guzzling like a frat boy at a party--like one of my college roommates who mixed too much wine and beer and then got sick in his bed in our dorm room. :-X
I don't know that mixing was the problem, just the "too much." I have know people to drink to much beer and get sick ... but that was a long, long time ago.
I suppose I count as a real woman and my drink of choice is wine these days. But in my wild and crazy youth, I was know to enjoy gin and tonics.

Oh YUCK! :P
one of my college roommates who mixed too much wine and beer
Tell you what, you can say that again!
That roommate, he owed me ... for having to put up with the smell, and for the loan of a clean pair of sheets!
He DID owe you. I am certain that I never had a spare set of clean sheets tidily waiting for me when I was in college.
I make no claims to be a real lady.
My mother made sure of that.
I think the entity in question was "real woman," and I suppose that may not be the same thing as a "real lady"? ;D
Ah, mom....
