What would you love to eat right now?

Shenshen

We have lots of threads on what people are cooking and have eaten, so I thought we need one for the dreamers.

If effort, availability and cost of ingredients, calorie count and preferences of your OH and/or children were no obstacle, what would you like to dig into right now?


Me, I'd love some breadfruit chips. I had them once when a friend from the Seychelles brought them back, they're chip-shaped but crisp-textured, fatty beyond believe and to me at least unbelievably tasty.

Alternatively, white asparagus salad just like my gran used to make.

Lorelli!

I buy these fish cakes from a butchers and I love them so much. They are just lovely and made just right. I would love some now or even tonight for dinner.

I dont get them too often because the butcher shop that makes them is a bit out of my way. This thread is making me think that I need to go there at the weekend though and pick some up.

I will try to learn how to make some myself but I'm a really bad cook.

I'd love the parmesan fries from Fade St Social.

I'd love a burger just like one I had on a trip to New York years ago, at a Jewish deli/restaurant near Columbus Circle. The name escapes me but is irrelevant anyway as the place has long since closed down (there was an air of mystery around the closure at the time!) but the burger was amazing: a big, juicy beef burger cooked medium, with pastrami, one or two other meat elements including some kind of bacon, Swiss cheese, pickles, great sauce, in a fab brioche style bun, all served with chili fries of some kind - I was incredibly hungover the day I had it, as were my two companions who watched in horror as I demolished the lot. Not one hangover symptom after eating it either - the best cure ever!
Yeah my mouth is watering now just thinking of it about 5 years later

Cheshire Cat

Just watched Rick Stein in Palermo and would kill for some crispy canolli!

I'd love the chocolate cake I had a few years ago in a pub in Wicklow.
It was delicious.

A bowl of deep fried fresh scampi with tartar sauce, sitting in the sun, with a sea breeze on my face and drinking ice cold beer.

I'm still in work and had an apple.

A big wedge of Yorkshire lardy cake. If you have never tried it, the name makes it sound gross, but it is a rich, sugary, moist, enriched dough made by angels and is heaven with a cup of tea.

Gremlinertia

My gran's poppycake, my mam and myself make it but it's never, ever a patch on what hers was.

The state of the rest of the stuff though! He loves mad seafood.

I would love a massive mug of tea and a slice of proper red velvet cake.

Pistacchio ice cream.
When I was a teenager, I spent a week in Munich with my best friend at her auntie's. The three of us had a tub of pistacchio ice cream and a bottle of Nymphenburg sparkling wine every evening. First time I watched Alien, too

Since then, that's my idea of indulgence.

rubadub

Burdock's chips from Christchurch as they were ~25 years ago, with free crispy bits (think they started charging at one stage and might be done away with them now). Used to be able to get a nice cold pint of cold milk with them too -at the price a pint of branded milk would have been in a supermarket.

You could unwrap and put your own salt & vinegar on too, not sure if you can still at least do that.

Space Dog

Dampfnudeln with vanilla sauce - proper German comfort food...

A beautiful, yellow, sweet, soft ripe mango.
I bought some amazing ones last year from a Pakistani shop, the owner told me they're only this ripe for a short period each year and he can only get hold of a few each year. I bought a box of 5, and after trying the first ate the whole lot in one go. He hadn't any left when I came back the week after.
I'd love one right now.

Lorelli!

My grannys mashed potatoes. They just had a different taste or something. I thought it might be because she used real butter to mash them but I tried that and they still don't taste the way she made them!

Elemonator

A spice bag.

hobie21

Spicy fish pie with potatoes. Should be ready in about an hour.

Feck you thread.
Just after ordering a Special Chow Mein.

Pork gyoza or similar such dumplings. Fried crispy on one side, steamed to chewy delight on the other. I always want dumplings.

Lorelli!

I'm meeting my parents tomorrow afternoon to go to a little restaurant near me that I love.

They have some really nice things on the menu but I always get the fish and chips. I kind of wish tomorrow was today

Had my first one yesterday evening -it was delish


For me
Agnolotti of parmesan, veal shank, crown prince pumpkin, gremolata from Forest Avenue -genuinely one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten

Walter H Price

Cake , a serious amount of cake , had a dream the other night about tasting wedding cakes with my OH (actually doing that in 3 weeks time) and have been hanging for Brownies , Cheescake , Lemon Drizzle , Oreo Chocolate biscuit, the works since.

StripedBoxers

Anything from The Smoke Pit in Northampton.
Pizza from The Dough Bros in Galway.

Food is to die for in both places.

I was about to say pot sticker dumplings. I have a recipe for them, and I have some minced pork, but they're a bit of effort, and I don't think I have the rest of the ingredients. Made them once before and made a huge mess, but they were fab.

The Island Gate near Little Island used have the best scampi in the entire world (or all the bits of it I've been to). Haven't been there in years, but occasionally dream about them.


I'm not usually a fan of icecream, but right now I'd love a Death By Chocolate from Ginos, which I haven't had in about 20 years.

BetsyEllen

A burger, greasy, in a sesame seed bun.
Nothing fancy, a Big Mac or Quarter Pounder would do the job.
But with Supermacs chips, the Maccy D's ones are awful.

Also have a weird craving for a Yorkshire pudding today.

My favorite snack - garlic rosemary mushrooms. Easy to cook, healthy and quick:
Ingredients
1 pound whole white mushrooms
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¼ teaspoon salt and black pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh herbs like rosemary, parsley and thyme OR 1 teaspoon dried herbs (you could use dried Italian seasoning for this)
Instructions on how to cook
Melt butter in a medium-large skillet. Add garlic and stir.
Add mushrooms and stir over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Sprinkle with the herbs (if using dried make sure you stir a bit to get them mixed into the buttery sauce) and serve hot.

I need my eyes tested. I read it as a pound of butter and 3 tablespoons of mushrooms. I was thinking it sounded delicious, but not that healthy

Served on top of a hot, toasted slice of the garlic and rosemary loaf from Tesco bakery. Maybe add a drop of cream to the mushrooms... I think I'll make this tonight July_happygirl! Yum.
(My version is not so healthy!)

Right now? A simple repast of rashers and egg.. which I am about to lever myself out of bed to make...

A lovely coffee and proper warm croissant, straight from the boulangerie in France.
Followed up by lots of french bread and cheese.
Nothing here comes close.

Hesh's Umpire

Two slices of batch bread with real butter
A bag of chipper chips with lotsa salt and vinegar
A slice of blueberry cheescake

I am thinking of a Smoked salmon with avocado with a natural yoghurt on the side. I had something similar in the Cafe Java, but would most likely make this dish at home, as it is so easy to make.

Hungry in Dublin.

Corvo

Gennaro Contaldo does this beautifully simple dish - sea bream in crazy water. Like all Italian dishes, it's easily done and relies on great ingredients.

http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/member-recipes/recipe-detail/4393/

Heres the recipe if you want to check it out. I'd like to dig into that, with a nice glass of wine and crusty bread for the wonderful emulsified sauce left over. Perhaps with some nice calming music on.

Oh yes...

The Hill Billy

A Schinkengipfli (croissant with a filling of finely-diced bacon) & a double espresso.

Just had my lunch (leftover egg fried noodles - btw, does anyone know of a way to keep and warm up rice noodles that doesn't make them stick together in a solid slab?) and I'd really like some lemon drizzle cake RIGHT NOW. Knowing I've got some at home but can't have it right now is annoying...

Shenshen wrote: »

I refry them, and tease them out with wooden chopsticks while doing that. They become a solid slab in the fridge, but as they warm up a few wiggles with the chopsticks usually separates them out again.

Sesame prawn toasts.... the frozen, crap, so-bad-for-you-it's-not-funny ones that go in the oven - I've just read a recipe for them and have SUCH a craving for them now

Anyone know where I'd find them???

Thanks! Unfortunately, not an option when at work, as we only have the microwave.

Bag of 60 like these is about 16 bills in Musgrave

Even cheaper and greasier ones in the Asia market on Drury Street

They're the ones!!! Now I want them even more!!!

But I don't want 60 (or I'd just eat them all), and don't have access to a Musgraves
