Laverbread is an essential item on a FEB

FWB surely?

I don't think Heston Blumenthal is the best thing to happen to food. Watching an interview with him on TV right now and I said to Nate "what is he on about?" and Nate replied "it's like he's been hit on the head and they are trying to keep him talking until an ambulance turns up"

Tea: milk in first

May God forgive you

 

[petee]

everyone has their own tastes, but it's just objective fact that eating oysters is like eating phlegm.

I pour hot black tea on my Alpen , also on weetabix . Sometimes I have an Alpen/Weetabix/tea combo.

I'm not coping with this very well!

Milk goes well in most herbal teas.

A spoon of tahini in baked beans makes them taste better.

Garlic granules are great and just as good as fresh garlic for some things.

Various vegan versions of dairy products taste nicer than the dairy does. Things I’ve found fit this tendency so far include; yogurt, hard cheese, milk, ice cream, & single cream.

I was in your camp until this ..

It doesn’t work in anything with lemon or other citrus obviously but anything with cinnamon licorice or ginger - spicy type stuff - is very nice with a bit of milk... and once you’ve done that, adding milk to mint or chamomile or other flowery or leafy teas doesn’t seem that odd... I like it sometimes.

Acquired taste yes. I get weird looks when I do it in company and no one’s thus far agreed to make a cup like that for me.

Toast should be cooled before buttering to stop the butter melting and maintain a layer of butter that can be tasted on top of the toast rather than separating and disappearing into the bread below.

Oat porridge should only be made with water, never milk. Adding peanut butter, chocolate and/or jam is fine though.

Milk as a drink is for children. This includes adding to tea or coffee. The only acceptable hot drink with milk in it is hot chocolate which is for children.

Eating sugar straight from the packet with a spoon is a sign of a sophisticated palate.

The best biscuit ever is the party ring.

Soymilk definitely better in tea, not so greasy.

Extra contraversial one just for you:

Millet gruel tastes best with vinegar (preferabky black vinegar) in it.

Never tried, might give that a go.

Threads where people post their opinions about what foods they like and don't like, and then argue with people who have different opinions about what foods they like and don't like are generally boring and pointless.

 

[moomoo]

Milk should always go first in tea.

Baked beans do not belong on a baked potato and if it’s a full English then they have to be served in a separate dish because beans can not touch egg.

Chip buttys are disgusting.

But do you put cheese on the thread first, or beans?

The skin of a kiwi fruit should definitely be eaten.

 

[May Kasahara]

Lamb is greasy and disgusting, in any format.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Instant coffee IS better than any other kind.

Marrow is shit. Sweet potato likewise. And parsnips are sweet wood and are therefore bokeadelic.

Croissants are irritating to eat and not in the same league as breakfast muffins, toast or crumpets.

Cheddar is the best cheese.

Cookie dough is for developmentally arrested people.

Tinned taties are ace.

Steak is boring.

Crackling is disgusting.

I agree with you about steak. It is really boring. And before anyone starts, I have had "good" steaks. Still found them boring. It's something I never eat any more.

Avocados taste quite nasty and have a horrible texture.

 

[May Kasahara]

Jaffa cakes chocolate is horrid, the orange bit is basically hard marmalade and the cake bit tastes like polystyrene. Fucking minging.

Totally on board with this

The avocados in the UK are boring, watery, tasteless. Here I can get them directly from the tree. They're totally different.

I've had them in Australia where all the fresh produce is phenomenal and they still taste like claggy arse to me

You can put the blame firmly on my dad , he had to look after us for a week when we were kids. He couldn't be arsed making tea AND hot milk for our weetabix , so just poured the tea on it was (and is) lovely. Alpen was a recipe adaptation.

 

[bluescreen]

Vinegar murders beetroot.

I found food in Oz expensive, often crap and unimaginative and the super market produce limited in range and` of poor quality. I was served tinned fruit for breakfast in a hotel. The exceptions were the market in Hobart, on board ship (fresh fish) and Japanese food.

 

[pinkmonkey]

FEB breakfasts from Caffs are invariably shite.

and every bacon sandwich I've bought outside of the home has been rubbery and undercooked.

 

[JuanTwoThree]

To each their own though

everyone has their own tastes

Less of this kind of thing, please.

Well it is a big country and I guess there is shit food available like everywhere else.
I've only ever had superb fruit and veg in Oz. I guess we buy from fruit and veg shops rather than supermarkets but the stuff is amazing.
There's an unbelievable fish market where my sister lives as well.
