I love the jelly from that. The ham not so much.

And proper pork pie jelly with piccalilli.

Hot pork pies are lovely too - the jelly's all melty

Ketchup is for 7 year olds

Nonsense. It's lush.

Pork pie with ketchup. Yum.

And scotch pies.

They both benefit from lots of pickle.

 

[strung out]

I use that in fried rice. It's lovely. Normally about 25% doesn't make it to the wok.

We use loads of this stuff in fried rice and noodle soups

 

[Spymaster]

Mayonnaise is evil oily shit.

Hellmans "mayonnaise" beats the crap out of the fancy French proper stuff.

 

[Orang Utan]

Smooth peanut butter is pointless

I didn't like it as a 7 year old. I was a fussy bugger. I now eat most stuff but still don't like it.

There's loads of that stuff in Vietnamese food, especially bhan mi. Lush

There is nothing wrong with Carling, Fosters, Carlsberg and other standard cheaper lagers, they all taste lovely.

Don't most people agree with that though?

Everybody knows that sliced white bread makes the best, so it's hardly controversial.

I do suspect, however, that Spymaster hasn't actually bought bread for some decades. It's all Warburtons, Kingsmill or Hovis (yes, Hovis white bread) these days Spy.

White bread barely even counts as food never mind as bread. There is no circumstances when white bread is "best". Not even good enough for ducks 3 reasons why you shouldn't feed bread to ducks

I broadly agree although just opened with a bacon sandwich is something I love. Although not enough to buy and wonder what to do with the rest of the loaf.

Pet rabbits like toasted white bread much more than they like carrots

Fatten them up nicely

Coffee is horrible and baked beans should be banned. Most takeaways are disappointing, festival food same, street food at Camden market is worse than both of these.

Boursin spread on a banana. Delicious

 

[Fedayn]

Toast toppers were the food of the gods.

Cold roast chicken sandwiches benefit greatly from a dousing of malt vinegar
Fish fingers should only ever be cooked by grilling
Olives are grapes that have gone bad, cleverly marketed as a different thing

 

[ska invita]

Talking of vinegar chips should swim in vinegar. Impossible to have too much

You should try my olives. I use three different methods of curing and the flavours vary between the three.

Do people fry fishfingers? Boil them?

I deep fry them for sandwiches. In olive oil, sunflower oil mix.

 

[Spymaster]

Vinegar should only ever be used to add an acidic element to main dishes such as sauces and curries and never as a stand alone condiment.

 

[Spymaster]

Oven or fried.

Carlsberg is drinkable in an emergency. The other two are insipid muck.

 

[xenon]

Good grief. Cullinary crimes abound.

 

[Spymaster]

They all taste the same.

 

[xenon]

They all taste the same.

Carlsberg has the stronger, slightly metallic, taste of those. Prefer Fosters out of that line up.

 

[Calamity1971]

Pickle onions with a sunday roast.

And picalilli .

I don't think I have any controversial food or drink opinions but maybe that's because I just assume that what I think is canon.

I didn't used to see the point of spirits but shortly before I basically gave up drinking I started to appreciate the pack they punch, so, not even that.
