Food heaven and food hell

[lozzyloz]

Had a chocolate and chilli profiterole volcano as a wedding cake.

[mockney piers]

chocolate and chilli is always a great flavour combination.

I often put some chocolate in a chilli con carne.

[lozzyloz]

Try roast chicken marinated in peanut butter and Coca-Cola.

My favourite sandwich combination is:

Two slices of fresh crusty white bread thickly buttered

Peanut butter on one

Strawberry jam on the other

Layer of mature cheddar cheese

Layer of salt and vinegar crisps

Layer of crispy bacon still warm

I can see the pearly gates . . .

[Sandperson]

Lozzy, you won't be getting up that hill into Crystal Palace for very much longer if you eat too many of those!

[lozzyloz]

Very true. I can still savour the flavour but they are a distant memory!

Heaven

Biltong

Tabasco Sauce on anything with melted cheese

Avocado

Course chicken liver pate on freshly baked bread.

Hell

Prawns

Caviar

Smoked Salmon

This is all making me seriously hungry and it is still 1hr and 2 minutes until I can justifiably eat lunch,

[Annasfield]

I agree and sometimes things that you think would never work actually do.

That aside, there are certain delicacies that shouldn't be spoiled. For example, why would you take a freshly caught and cooked lobster and turn it in to Thermidor? All it needs is fresh bread and butter and mayo.

I have to agree with that one, def one that I should have put on my fav list! Love it

[KalamityKel]

oooo Loz that sounds tasty... not particularly healthy but certainly worth the thought :)

[LizzygotDizzy]

Then you have good old Marmite! (meant to go on my hell list)

I would imagine as many people love it as loathe it!

[KalamityKel]

Do u like twiglets tho?

[suzilucy]

Heaven

Peppered rare fillet steak with jacket potato and oozles of butter

chestnuts and sprouts with bacon bits at christmas

warm flapjack still goey in the middle

smoked salmon

pizza pie

Hell

caviar

fois gras

avacado

banana

celery (devil's food)

dribbling on keyboard, sparks flying, need flapjack....

[mockney piers]

"caviar, fois gras, avacado, banana, celery"

Again with the perfect pizza!!! (maybe some artichoke and anchovy too)

[SteveT]

heaven is homemade

soups

bread

quiche

Apple or any Berry pie

Hell is stuff dished up in front of you, around a table full of people talking loudly, who know each other but not you, and the food is over salted, greasy and cold, which includes turkey twizzlers, badly cooked offal and tapioca pudding.

[lozzyloz]

How did I forget to include Sprouts to my heaven list, though they're probably in most peoples Marmite category.

Sprouts al dente with good olive oil, some roughly chopped parsley and freshly grated Parmeggiano.

Sprouts are so versatile.

Great cold in a sandwich or try a Sprout and Ricotta pasta with a few flecks of chilli.

Annasfield, I wont go into the ethical debate re greenhouse gases ;-) but you are so right about the Lobster. Reminds me too of that great fish restaurant in Kennington, the Lobster Pot

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

mm, love that restaurant.

That one is def the most bizarre mix I have heard of, sprout sandwich, and I love sprouts, you sure you are not expecting the pitter patter of tiny feet. Although having said that I liked sucking chalk pieces when I was preg the 2nd time! lol!

[KalamityKel]

Oooo as much as I don't like sprouts... a sprout, cheese and salad cream sarnie is taking my fancy at the mo :-S

[Annasfield]

Are you pregnant?

[Michael Palaeologus]

I like cold sprouts and I dont think I am pregnant.

[shoshntosh]

heaven: being so privileged that i am able to eat whatever i like, whenever i please

hell: going hungry

somewhere in between: knowing that whilst i am eating whatever i like whenever i like, other people are in hell
