The first thing which jumped to my mind is too rude to write....
I like most foods, but can't physically eat coconut, it makes me vomit!

Personally I'm always partial to a bit of pizza now and again normally with a bit of everthing on top.

My favourite meal has always been spaghetti bolognese. I also have a trademark rice meal which I like to cook on Saturdays (I have no rice cooker at present :cry
, which consists of rice (duh), egg, mushrooms, pork and noodles.
In terms of takeaway food, I go for the kebab shop, but far from always go for a kebab...
I am also keen on English breakfasts. My Student Union does one for £4 which includes toast, beans, 3 hash browns, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages and a tomato, which I have substituted for a third sausage.

Quite a lot of things, particular favourites are onion soup, a nice juicy steak and cheesecake (the real stuff, not the fluffy c**p that some people call cheesecake). Quite partial to the occasional pizza, but is has to be "real", preferably in an Italian restaurant - can't remember the last time I set foot in a Pizza Hut or similar, or McDonalds

McDonalds serves its purpose - it's ideal when there's one on a station and I'm in a hurry for a train (whih invariably is the case!). However, I wouldn't go out to McDonalds for a 'meal'. Incidentally, I was a bit shocked to find the McD's on Sofia station in Bulgaria didn't actually serve burgers!
I do really enjoy a good Italian, as well as a good old Sunday roast. More recently one or two people off here have dragged me out for a curry, which I have never been into until recently, but I not quite enjoy these as long as it is on the mild side (I'm normally boring and stick to a korma).
When I go abroad I, wherever possible, try and eat traditionally - for example in Sofia, we found a traditional restaurant (which also had menus in English, a great help!), the customers were a mix of tourists and locals, the food was excellent and washed down with a bottle of Bulgarian wine. Not sure how I'd manage in Japan though, to me fish should be in batter, breadcrumbs or parsley sauce - none of the sushi stuff!

I'm pretty healthy.
My favourite foods would have to be Italian, so pizza, pasta, ice cream etc.
At the same time, you really can't beat one of my Mum's roast dinners.
ah pot noodle the students best friend. I like most food apart from Mcdonalds, coconut,tuna and raw cheese.If I wanted quick food that was filling I would just bring a sandwich.

Indian all the way.

Typical student meal!
For me I like a good Italian. Deffinatly a typical italian thin crust pizza
My favorite food overall has got to be a roast dinner with beef. Oh and frozen roasties. I actualy perfer frozen roasties than home made ones. Oh I do love frozen food!

Typical student meal? Maybe, as with pasta, pizza and that effectively suggested by klambert, noodles. But I'm an atypical student. How many students don't drink (for non-medical reasons), for instance? 1-in-20, perhaps? How many qualify for a concessionary bus pass? Fewer still? How many did not suffer from homesickness in their first year, in spite of it being their first time away from home for an extended period (or within a reasonable - i.e. not RailUK standards! - day-trip's range)? 1-in-x00?
Indeed, I do not go for the typical student shopping habits either. I have no student cookbook. I do not go to the local supermarket "because it's there" (I go to ASDA in Bedminster, over 10 miles away, as opposed to Sainsbury's at Green Park). I do not invest half of my shopping budget in wheat flour products (although noodles do make for a nice 1am supper!). In fact, I have previously spent over £50 in ASDA in one go (to be fair, I didn't go again for about two months!). Last time I went, I spent a grand total of £9.50 - I haven't been shopping properly since, and hadn't even been to a take away of any kind until about ten hours ago.
But do I miss a good roast dinner. I haven't had one for months. I secretly went home for Mother's Day (my mother didn't know until I was stood in her bedroom very late the Friday before! - I've never seen her happier), and planned to cook one for her, but I was ill that day so my sister took over instead. Mind you, I miss my good old rice meals too - I haven't had one since the day before Mother's Day, fulfilling an old tradition of preparing it in time for Formula One Qualifying (that event was in Bahrain, but for European races the idea was always to start cooking at 11:30 and be ready at 12:05, in time for the programme at 12:10).
I do like burgers though; more often than not, that is my take-away meal (they do have to be double though, because otherwise the roll seems to dominate and not the meat). Back home there is a place that does southern fried potatoes and a half-pounder for £5.30, and the quality is top-notch. There are so many places that do such potatoes in Southend that I insist on having them every time I go back! So guess what I'll be eating next week then!
Ah, food. How I hate being on one meal a day. Even if said meal is about three times larger than the average. I am going to miss that cheap English breakfast I mentioned... I might have to have one today as a farewell. That, or actually do it myself! (I'd need a deep fat fryer though; my sausages and hash browns are always better in one. And as long as I'm on campus, that's a no-go.) I must say that I am quite picky with them though; for instance, eggs have to be soft enough for yolk to be a yolk (!) but hard enough for it not to run, bacon has to be barely cooked at all and well short of crispy, ditto for hash browns, mushrooms have to be soft...
I'll stop now. It's 03:40 and I'm making myself hungry! I shall be sure to eat something breakfast-related today, even if not from the SU...
I shall finish by asking one question. Does anyone else love the taste of a cooked roast dinner when it's been in the fridge for a few hours?

Do you write for a food magazine or do you REALLY love food.
Ivo, I much prefer cold food, whether it;s roast dinners or chips! I never complain when eating out if the food is not piping hot!
Incidentally, we try and use local markets whenever we can. The veg is fresher and tastes a lot better, and can often be cheaper than the big supermarkets. And meat from a market butcher - heaven! You have to look carefully at the offers though, or you can spend more than you intended!
There is a great farm shop about 16 miles away that we go to when we are feeling really flush, it;s possible to spend a lot of money in there!

My sense of taste is very weak, so I could never pass as a "foodie". Do like to eat though
SE-465 - Your live in the South-East, yet you choose haggis and black pudding?!
As for cold foods, if you discount the peas and/or carrots I would be quite happy to let a roast dinner go cold, and then eat it in the evening! Instead, I'd probably do myself an egg sandwich, or something. But I can be very picky sometimes, which is why I was really quite pleased when I did chips, eggs and sausages a few days ago and intended to cook the egg as I suggested above (i.e. not hard because it wasn't a sandwich, but not runny either). It came out almost perfect! One of the two ran a little, but that was my own fault for flipping it badly.

I may live in the South-East but I was born in Glasgow, Scotland. Don't know if that has anything to do with my favorite foods etc...
But I can't see even if I was not Scottish how it'd change my taste in things.
