heaven - any sort of fried potato - sauted, rosti, hash browns ...

hell - bananas, possibly coconuts, been converted to beetroot by Polish friends, not overjoyed with chick peas.

Heaven = Venison

Hell = Cheese or Nuts(can't eat either, allergy)

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Does it make your wee wee red?

Beetroot sandwiches are the best. Nice crusty bread, a good layer of butter and cooked beetroot. Not the pickled stuff, obviously.

Heaven: chips (as per the OP)
Hell: anchovies. I once got given a pot of 'Gentleman's Relish'. Disgusting!

cooked beetroot grated into bowl with finely chopped red onion and lemon juice makes a beautiful side salad, with a chicken schnitzel and boiled spuds (quality ones, waxy not floury with a knob of melted butter and a sprig of parsley) it's yum,yum,yum, smack your lips and have a swig of lager to wash it down.

Another heaven is a good tarte au citron, slice half a strawberry and a basil leaf for decor and savour with a dessert fork. Woof.

I articulated it almost exactly this way to my wife, who seems more inclined to this behaviour when we're among company.

Nothing has changed... but I've said my piece.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

It makes everything else on your plate red, I look at my mrs plate with the rest of her salad swimming in red juice and it makes me feel quite quizzy, horrible stuff, I think it comes from my childhood, my dad was a greengrocer and he always had a massive vat of it bubbling away at the back of his shops

On my infrequent visits to UK, first stop Tesco for a jar of Heywoods pickled baby beetroots which I sit in the car and eat half of before moving on...

PS Cant beat a liver sausage and anchovy sandwich........the Panino bar in St Georges walk use to do a fine peanut butter, liver sausage and anchovy sandwich a few years back

When we went to Sardinia on holiday we noticed that both horse and donkey were on many restaurant menus

Whilst on a delightful visit to Phuket my dear wife and I embarked on a day tour of some islands provided by a Leisure Company.

We disembarked at Panyee Island where a buffet lunch was provided and whilst I was standing with my plate considering what to sample the tour guide pointed to one of the offerings saying it was "Monkey foot". I shot him a look that would shrivel a saveloy but he was jesting and it was actually chicken !

Jolly nice it was too and I returned for a second helping.Had it truly been "Monkey foot" there is absolutely zero chance it would have entered my mouth.

Food heaven - Full English Breakfast.
Food hell- Pasta, Cheese, most veg.

I'm embarrassingly the most fussiest of feckers and won't even try something if I don't like the look/smell of it.

Always been the same, and I won't change now !

I'm surprisingly healthy for someone who eats the crap I do !
