    Makes your wee smell funny or is that just me ?

    Actually, I seem to remember it's a genetic thing where only a small proportion of people can smell the change it makes to the smell of your rine.

    Edit: Good old Wikipaedia, only about 22% of people can smell it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asparagus

    At a big dinner, I once went to the gents at the end of the meal where they'd served asparagus as the starter to everyone - the stink was foul.

    I don't mind eating it though.

    I'm off to Borough to see what's for lunch....

    I'll happily eat almost anything, including tripe and chickens feet mentioned above, even celery which seems to have caused the most outrage so far. But not Marmite. Obvious one I know, and I do try it every couple of years to see if my taste has changed (I hate fussy eaters who claim to dislike things without trying them) but time after time I still find it vile.

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

    You do - i.e. nothing that is on it!!

    hmmm... as much as I do love wiki - a genetic marker for smelling an odour is a new one on me to believe quite yet. I always went with the digestion being different to a single enzyme perhaps.

    that's it you are barred.

    What is wrong with you, bringing your filth in here?

    Edited to add.

    KFC rocks - their fries are grim however.

    What you need is chicken from KFC and fries from Burger King.

    I ate some fairly fresh Tuna this autumn! We sliced it up and made sushi five mins after this pic was taken.

    I knew there was a reason I liked you. That would be the holy grail of fast food if you also got onion rings from burger king... and the KFC chicken gravy to go with the fries.

    Actually many motorway services have both KFC and Burger King... I feel a plan coming on...

    In a rambo-style headband with a knife gripped between your teeth? Or had the tuna jumped into your boat and started threatening to kick your arse so you got all 'Kew York' and pulled a blade on it? :P

    Oh I have had enough!

    Burger King fries suck balls, blue whale ones, the biggest balls on Earth!

    The best fries are the golden delights of McDonalds dipped in KFC beans. The gravy is 'dope' I'll give you that but the beans are the nuts (which is the positive of 'balls') especially after KFC changed their chicken coating and then the gravy recipe to match, I'd say they lowered the quality.

    Further more the best fried chicken on the planet is made in this place: Shalimar in Clapham The fecking Mecca of all fried chicken shops everywhere

    That's what tuna looks like, wow! I've only ever seen it in a can. Now your going to tell me the raw meat is red not grey....

    I quite like black pudding with a fry up (brown sauce essential), or sprinkled over a salad for the healthy option :)

    Roll mop herring, tried it once at a New Years Eve party a good few years ago, very nearly spewed, just...just held onto it :wink:

    Didn't you come to the burger van with us at the end of the Dragon last year?

    Now, I know that the idea of American breakfasts , sweet & savoury at the same time, may scare some of the more timid among you, but.... I used to live just up the road from the truly superb

    and their Diner Special breakfast is a thing of beauty.

    Upgrade the pancakes by adding blueberries, and Robert's your sister's brother.
    All it needs then is some black pudding as well :-)

    I'm not timid, I really will eat most things, and i've tried maple syrup with various things, sweet and savoury... it's just rank. Sorry.
  • What in the name of all that is good in the world are 'home fries'?
    Do they mean chips, like what all cockneys strangely have with their cooked breakfast?
