Food heaven & hell

What is your food heaven and your food hell?

I'd like to know

 

[Saltwater]

My worst dish and probably the only dish I would never eat or cook intentionally is Fasolada, this white bean soup with tomato, carrots, onion, celery etc.

I pretty much like everything else

 

[GinAg (39)]

Or VEGETABLE SOUP as we call it.

Although I wouldn't put beans in a soup.

 

[RJN]

Food hell: very chewy chicken

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

NO to any meat served on the bone and having to work out what’s bone, meat or gristle
YES to most other things

 

[Ill Advised]

Food heaven - Bread and cheese

Food hell - Celery

 

[GinAg (39)]

The celery HATE BRIGADE is out in FULL FORCE on Moopy at the moment.

Our version of this is a big favourite of mine.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I too struggle with meat/chicken when it comes with gristle and bone.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I love SO MUCH DIFFERENT FOOD.

It's possibly easier to list what I dislike.

Liquorice, liver, jellied eel, kale (any leafy shit that gets stuck in your teeth really), popcorn, raisins and cucumber.

You should move here, it's the "national dish" of the country.

 

[OutSynk]

Cooked carrots

 

[GNL]

Heaven is difficult because I love all sorts but basically put me in a good Indian restaurant and I'm happy.

Hell... I've never eaten it but the smell of tuna knocks me sick, and I really hated roast beef growing up. So dry and chewy and bitty. VILE.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

My food heaven at the moment is anything to do with Thai food

Food hell - always and forever - meringue

I LOVE the Greek FASOLAKI remix

I always like the green beans version with feta as a side

Ugh

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

Cooked carrots

Even tinned? So soft and luxurious

That I love too

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Things that I refused to eat before but have come to accept and sometimes even love at an old age: carrot, cauliflower, green peas, haricots verts/green beans?, aubergine, zucchini, jam, marmelade… and nowadays even sweet corn is tolerable.

Few things remain: dates, persimmon, coffee, liquorice

 

[Cerro de Casa]

That I love too

Absolute heaven

Spoiler

 

[Saltwater]

persimmon

It tastes exactly like sperm. I detest it.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

If only it tasted like sperm!

(but I think I know what you mean)

 

[Alla]

Heaven: impossible to choose one, but I have to go with this national delicacy that i hope you all manage to taste at least one: SALMOREJO, we talked about it before but never enough. Also y you avoid the spanish jam and boiled egg on top (I wouldn't) it's a vegan dish, so anyone can have it.

HELL: I don't think there is any "normal" food I truly detest, but I'll go with snails, didn't eat them in many years and they don't appeal to me anymore.

 

[Saltwater]

Never actually tried snails, I just dip my bread in their sauce.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Food heaven - France and Italy
Food hell - The UK and the Netherlands

SUE ME

 

[Dark Carnival]

Cooked carrots

Yeah, boiled carrots are the most insipid tasteless shit

 

[OutSynk]

[RJN]

I’ll try anything once, but the only foods I really dislike are eggplant (aubergine), celery, and blueberries

 

[RJN]

Boiled carrots are mediocre, but they’re good roasted

 

[Cerro de Casa]

SUE ME

 

[OutSynk]

They also LOVE using them as CHEAP FILLER in dishes.

 

[Sheena]

HELL:

Honey
Blackcurrant
Coffee

 

[Lucille]

The dairy milk with bits of mini eggs are back in the shops and honestly it’s my crack. I swallow whole bars in seconds, no self control around them, so so much pleasure.

SUE ME

So rude and ungrateful. I’m going to get you banned from Hemel Hempstead

I’d just whipped you up one of my specials as well

Oh god, as a total mini egg devotee I thought the bar was RUBBISH.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I love dairy milk OREO

 

[Lucille]

Oh god, as a total mini egg devotee I thought the bar was RUBBISH.

I genuinely rate it above SEX and COCAINE.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Something else that is revolting and I’d never drink but I can’t even stand the smell of it is tea mixed with milk.

I love it naturally but always had to be careful never to have tea with milk in France because they make fun of that sort of thing there

 

[Lucille]

There’s nothing more disconcerting than eating TONGUE.

HELL:

Honey
Blackcurrant
Coffee

Together or separately?
