Me too ... rhubarb especially.Originally Posted by lastlid
I love stewed fruit, Arthur. Gooseberries. Rhubarb. Apple. Plums. Etc.
... pity that! Mind you, I don't think rhubarb is grown in the Phils ... but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong ...Cant get Mrs Lastlid to eat it though ...
I am guessing you are probably right. Shes not seen much of our classic fruit before, if any.

Prunes.

School meals.
Me too...whatever Jane puts in front of me, I eat.rather eat anything what em cooks for me then going back to my old ways, toast and more toast, those was the days
Porridge was my daily breakfast for years then, one day last year I got sick of it.. Perhaps it was the honey ..weetabix took its place.
Some of my personal favourites:-
Bubble & squeak
Toad in the hole
Fish and chips with mushy peas
Hot pot
Steak & kidney pudding
Cornish pasty (can't beat a proper pasty)
Cottage pie (minced beef with veggies, topped with mashed potato. yum!)
Shepherd's pie - (almost the same as cottage pie but with minced lamb)
Faggots
A beautifully cooked Sunday Roast with all the trimmings (incl Yorkshire pudding!)
Treacle pudding
Treacle tart
Spotted Dick
Rhubarb Crumble
Traditional homemade Christmas Pudding
lovely grub
Faggots too.

''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''
Yes. And much of this can be cooked so that it tastes great and alternatively it can be cooked poorly with poor ingredients and bland in taste.Some of my personal favourites:-

Home made rice pudding.
Failing that, pour over lashing of hot and spicy banana sauce with a side dish mountain of rice

Low Carb / Atkins.
Having spent the last 6 years in the RP I am like a dog with 2 d*cks/cat who got the cream now I'm back with regard to the choice/quality/availabilty of the fresh ingredients here. Not forgetting the price. Part of the fun in the RP was finding (and buying up all the stock) of the simpliest ingredients that you know wouldnt be there next week.
All these buy 1/take 1, 3 for 2 offers and I'm pretty sure that it's cheaper here contrary to the usual beliefs than the RP. Certainly quality is miles ahead on chicken, ground beef, vegetables etc.
Just a shame my wife isnt here yet to cook them all for me
I think it's fair to say that British Food (especially meat and dairy products) is some of the best anywhere in the world.Having spent the last 6 years in the RP I am like a dog with 2 d*cks/cat who got the cream now I'm back with regard to the choice/quality/availabilty of the fresh ingredients here.

Mostly due to some tough lessons and legislation following the various issue we had over a number of years.
Even the French are back to buying British beef
And so the French should. British beef is amongst the best in the world - if you support your local farmer. Irish isn't too bad, although their cheese might be cheap, but it isn't so great (Seems to have faded from view, but a few years ago the EU were subsidising Irish farming by all accounts, and it was appearing in the supermarkets undercutting the British stuff). Speciality British cheese is superb, French is a quality all of it's own. German hams the same.
This might sound nuts, but carrots from Yorkshire are something a bit special, or maybe it's because they don't have to travel far to where I am.
I often take a carrot into work as a snack - leading to colleagues saying "whats up doc" and "eee-awwwwwww"
Ermm how can rice be fattening? It's really filling and you don't need much, and it might be a stereotype, but you don't see many fat asians unless they're on a western diet of McCrap.
For goodness sake - anyone - do not do the Atkins dietOf course you will lose weight - you do it because it screws up your bodys systems. As soon as you come off it, you will end up looking like the michelin man.
If anyone wants a healthy and sustainable diet, then plenty of vegetables, fish, lean meat, cut back on wheat products (goes against traditional British and French diets, but you don't have to have bread with every meal), don't pile up the potatos, a few are ok etc
Oh and for other reasons, don't eat too much fruit. There's some evidence the body can't digest different fruits together, but it's also pretty rubbish for your teeth
Yep. Go easy on the carbs.
...Or are lucky enough to be a greedy pig who can eat all u like without putting on an ounce....like me.
It's all in the genes.
You must burn it off somehow, Graham.......Or are lucky enough to be a greedy pig who can eat all u like without putting on an ounce....like me.

According to my boy, most of it is converted to flatulence.
An area where he does NOT seem to share my sense of humour.

Honesty is the best policy.
