    Then mechanically recovered and shaped bone strippings are Godly

    Whoever said Kebabs are 101 has allowed themselves to sober up and needs to get back on the sauce or they'll get left behind when the hugging / fighting starts

    I've only eaten KFC twice - once on a Uni Caving expedition and students are meant to be stupid. The other time was indeed while drunk. It still tasted foul. This leads on to another inviolate rule which is that you should never eat anything that comes in a bucket. It comes in a bucket for a reason......

    Okay, got shouted at yesterday for suggesting all dead animal products should be placed into Room 101, so am holding on fast for the abuse I will get for suggesting that the horrible, sticky crap that is chocolate be banned from this green and lovely planet.

    Come on, admit it, chocolate in any form is horrible (from a bloke who eats at least a kilo of mushrooms a week).

    You've had KFC twice the number of times I ever have.
    I will never go there again
    "Impressive break"

    Can't argue with "A" but even Green and Blacks is horrible.

    Chocolate is like sex though, even when it's really quite bad, it's still really quite good.

    but was it foul? (yes I saw that RolfF)

    mushrooms should only be fried in butter

    I used to share your hatred of the fungus but have been turned... not exactly sure when or how though, possibly posh restaurant and porchinis?

    Now now, while G&B's is nice, there is always a time and place for Yorkie. Behave yourself. It might be just once a year but its not purgatory - yorkie easter eggs are and always will be the best.

    Not entirely sure there is anything not already processed I won't eat... Not had bathchaps before or brain and suspect I won't ever on the 2nd. Butter fried fresh mushrooms (with or without garlic) is a mainstay in my full english's.

    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.

    I tend to agree, but you should try Konditor & Cook's Boston brownies (with cranberries) - truly the best brownie you can buy - FACT.

    Except, perhaps, for the Cinnamon Tree Bakery's brownies...

    Liver, on the other hand.... And I'm with cjcp on (tinned) tuna. And olives.

    OK. I have to lay down a few FACTS for you people...

    IP, you are sick and wrong on so many levels for letting maple syrup anywhere near the delight that is an english breakfast. :shock: :?

    As an aside: an english breakfast has to have black pudding. Mmmmmm bloody. Discuss.

    Tuna is great. I like tuna in sushi, steak (my least favourite of the tuna options) and tinned. In fact, fish is great in general.

    Brownies with cranberries are for the clinically insane, and the best brownies in the world are the ones I make. (Now available without nuts)

    Mushrooms are yummy.

    Of all the fast food options, KFC is the one I would choose. You have to pick carefully from the menu though.

    Fixed that for you.

    It's an old one, but it's great: KFC = Kan't Find Chicken.

    Bacon and Black Pudding, in a morning roll with HP sauce. There are few finer things in life.

    When i was in Canada I'd pop a large American pancake on my plate, top it with a full English (beans no sausage) garnish it with a liberal amount of maple syrup and then pop another pancake on top. Now that was a breakfast. Had that every day for 3 months, but when your skiing in those temps you need all the calories you can get.

    Ewwww. :shock:

    Excellent choice sir. We currently have goose, turkey, venison, or the special which is beef wellington pie, being fillet steak and pate with a light gravy.

    Actually scratch that. The beef wellington pie is mine.

    When I was with the Canadian Forces we got given steak and eggs followed by pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast - mmmmmmmmmm 8)

    Probably not worth going for 6 months without daylight on second thoughts

    Venison pie please LiT and a brownie or two too... Unfort my killer recipe for brownies involves chopped walnuts or pecans.

    Flour power brownies are rather good too - and when frozen and thawed are still good. No nuts either.

    Nicely reminded myself they have a stall nearby on fridays...

    Sweetcorn
    Raspberries
    Salad Cream
    Tinned tomato soup

    4 things my wife adores and I loathe.

    Sprouts are OK by me, though
    It's just a hill. Get over it.
