The entire onion family is a marvel. Leeks, Onions, Shallots, Garlic, Chives, Scallions.


Give me Sophia Loren naked in a gently warm cauldron or onion soup and I'll show you what Italians like.

French onion soup is the king of soup.

Spuds are pretty shyte though. Unless they're roasted or fried until they have a caramelised outer layer, they're usually shyte. Not a good national vegetable and we tend to just boil them like it was 1840. I wouldn't miss spuds if they disappeared either.

Au contraire, mon ami. When you are hungry, everything is good.


A drowsy saturday on the farm. Everyone is away. Cats crashed out in the shade. Just you and your Granny...all chores done, and radio on.


French exchange student from down the road rocks up with a bag of new potatotes the size of golf balls at best.


In the boil they go and are done quickly. With salt, butter and a little milk.......oh and the tea.


Biscuits afterwards.

I'm 100% Jackeen, generations going back to the 18th century and even a Pale dweller like me got the food horn for your description. I'm drooling here you bollex

In full agreement on the marzipan. Funnily enough I don’t think I've let anyone who actually likes it!
Nothing worse than getting a marzipan sweet unbeknownst to you out of a box of chocolates...

I do however like Turkish delight...

I love marzipan

I could eat a pizza but I think they are highly overrated.

Will kindly take donation of all your marzipan, i love it.


I hate eggs in their scrambles,fried, boiled etc states. Can eat them in baking and pancakes etc but no thanks otherwise.

batch loaf - I mean, if I was given it I would eat it, it's fine. I just don't get the fuss about it - seems like a slightly doughier version of white bread to me, tbh.

I'm not really a fan of IPAs, I often find the hops overpowering - tastes like grass. I'd much rather drink a bland, run-of-the-mill lager than an IPA with some over-powering flavours going on.

And sloppy foods :

lasagnes to look at
currys to look at

and macaroni cheese to do anything with.

Potatoes.. I don’t like potatoes. My mother in law thinks I’m mentally deficient because of it. Floury potatoes are just horrible, I dread eating somewhere and floury potatoes are produced and everyone thinks it great and I know I’m going to have to mash them into something else on the plate to hide them ...
also runny or soft eggs make me shudder.. I like an egg but has to be hard

For a long time i couldnt eat a potato and im not fond of white foods in general including eggs. I wonder is there a link between all those

Travelling.

Everything about it.

Hate flying. Then when you land switching to coaches, trains or taxi's.
Dragging a suitcase around at different points in the day. The waiting around, the rushing. It's exhausting, it's not fun.

Even packing my bag. Not being able to take all my 'stuff' with me. Thinking I've everything I need but there's still something I wish I'd have brought.

Sleeping in a bed that god knows who's been in it before me.

Not knowing my surroundings makes me feel very uncomfortable too.


It's weird to say I hate going on a holiday. I'll use every excuse under the sun to get out it.
There are some places I think I'd like to go to, but then when I think about the stress it will cause me getting there, I'm happy for others to go and them tell me all about the great time they had.

I'm even cute enough now to send the kiddo's on holiday with family while I stay at home :cool:

Regarding food this thread is fascinating, and I must show it to my dietician relation as there’s a wealth of information here

Hmmm. Then can you explain the persistence of a chunky layer of marzipan on Christmas cakes, how people will pass a plate of mince pies at a gathering and despite them being little nuggets of vileness they will tell you go on, have one, they're absolutely gorgeous and, worst of all, how is it that everyone who piles back into the car with you after the post-outing takeaway will invariably have their chips drenched in that devil's p1ss called vinegar?

Weirdness is a lot more prevalent than one might suspect.
