Food Room 101

Kebabs. (Unless you are totally trolleyed).

Jellied eels. A not to be missed culinary opportunity to do something really stupid to yourself

Whelks. While away your spare time trying to spear some of these slimey critters. Going green just thinking about it...

Oysters. Aphrodisiac? Maybe after you've had your stomach pumped...

Escargots. Hey, lets pop down the garden and find a few slugs for supper...

Tripe - please can I have more cow intestines, Mum?

well that's put me right off lunch...


:evil:

+1 for the Rhubarb crumble.... Mmmmmm....

My nomination goes to the new Christmas staple, cheese with fruit added. What in god's name is so wrong with the people of Wensleydale that they think it's OK to sully their truly stupendous cheese with cranberries, blueberries or blackberries.

Why? Just why?

And whilst I'm ranting, rice cakes. Again, why? Either eat something worthwhile, or don't eat, it's not that hard.

UndercoverElephant

Oh, and +1 for celery, and oysters. "They just taste like the sea", you hear some idiot saying. That's the problem, when I go swimming in the sea, I keep my mouth closed. I've never had a good mouthful of seawater yet.

I am sure he hasn't, but I am sure the giver, be they man, woman or canine (cats would just be wrong) would not first inject his appendege with growth hormone, get it to be as big as possible, as quickly as possible, before stunning it with 10,000 volts and shooting a bolt through the head.... I mean what are the chances of him being a backbench MP?

I like most food if cooked well. Not a fan of parsnips - weird fusty thing going on there - and cooked celery can be a bit minging (though somehow OK in moules mariniere).

Worst thing I can recall eating was a piece of raw chicken in a Kyoto sushi bar - apparently its all the rage there, but it was as hideous as you'd imagine, I then had to watch several more platefuls go past on the conveyor belt, complete with clots of bloody vein, whilst trying not to throw up.

+2. What's the point of raw celery other than to put into a spag bol and then cook?

oh.my.giddy.aunt. You do what to a spag bol? Filthy. Sordid. Degraded. Perverted. A slight against nature.

DonDaddyD

Tofu

Quorn and all other meat flavoured meat substitutes.

UndercoverElephant

There is no point! Any "food" that actually loses you calories due to digestion, rather than giving you energy can't be classed as food, surely.

It'll kill you as soon as look at you, would celery.

cjcp

Broad beans. Yak! :x

Sames goes for sprouts, cauliflower and beetroot.

When you have "Ring o' White Hot Fire" chicken wings, it serves as a useful make-do spoon to shovel blue cheese dip into your gob, allowing the chilli to dissolve into the fat in the dip and soothe your fiery tongue area.

And you can floss with the string, too.

So now you know.

Sea food is horrid. Cockles, whelks, prawns, shrimps, basically any shell fish or crustaceans. They eat 5h1T and rotten things. Thats why they taste the way they do.

And banana's. Erg. I would rather be placed in an enclosure at the Nairobi Home for Sexually Frustrated Bull Elephants dressed a cute looking girl elephant in high heels and fish nets than eat a banana.

Raw celery and carrots added to the pot. It makes it crunchy, just without that yakky celery taste. The Italians do it. I saws it on TV, like.

Oooh, I'd forgotten that one. Beloved of kiwis on their burgers, it is vile muck, flavoured and coloured with potassium permanganate.

Why would you have celery in your kitchen, but no spoons?

Yep, well they wear flip flops in the winter, so what you expect from that feral bunch?

Good work, T.

I'll eat most things out of politeness, apart from things I'm allergic to (oysters, clams, scallops, mussels), which I'd eat if I wasn't allergic to them.

Only things I struggle with are eggs on their own, but they're needed for cake so wouldn't be Room 101-worthy. Oh and mousses, but I get through them.

For me it would probably be cranberries. They're not nice juiced, dried, in a sauce, or as they come, and have a habit of appearing in things unexpectedly.

In fact, any fruit in a savoury dish. Shut it morocco, you're wrong.

Risotto. Especially Blueberry Rissotto.

What is the point in sticky rice? was this a proper rice dish that just went a wee bit wrong and someone decided to call it Rissotto?

And Blueberries - why in the name of all that is right, would you want to put a perfectly good desert fruit into rissotto?

Please, can we uninvent Rissotto?

as GT said Blueberry rissotto is wrong... yet if you called it rice pudding with fruit no one would bat an eyelid

sticky rice.. sushi.. yum

My muvver-in-law has fed me meat+fruit every time we've visited. I'm sure that she knows how obscene it is. It must have been a classic in the early 70s.

I honestly cant think of much that I wouldn't eat at least in some form.

I could live without lamb though.

I thought about apricots but I like apricot jam, peaches are grim but peach yoghurt is nice.

I agreed on the broadbeans, ming. Fine beans are lovely though, espesh wrapped in bacon, yummy.

I even liked tofu the last time I tried it (in a chinese buffet, there may have been extra flavourings.)

Mast Colours Nailed.

PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA.

By all that is holy - anyone who orders pineapple on pizza needs a flogging.

The only thing you can justifiably add to pizza is more Sausage / capers and YES

Anchovies.

All of you sea food decliners can book your prissy food faddy arses into Fish Works for some force feeding. I'll be on hand with a funnel and a blender.

Also - meat is murder. Murder if you can't get any. I cooked rib of beef for new year - three ribs of beefy rare porn pleasure.

Capers WTF! The only point of them is so you can play a game picking them out of rice.

DonDaddyD

Sweet potato.

When you're five years old, it really isn't f*cking sweet. I cried for days.

Room 101 on the grounds of false advertising, surely?

Different strokes for different folks!

I love oysters, washed down with good pouilly fume. Pork scratchings are also amazing.

Real men don't eat quiche. Fact.
