Just a bit of a light hearted thread. Whats your top 3 favourite foods? I have to say that Thai is my favourite followed by Mexican and Indian. Whats yours?
 
I eat a lot of pasta and enjoy a good pizza, so Itailian food. I also like Indian food and I love eating at nandos but I can't remember what country the foods based on there. Any ideas?

Do try Thai though. Great food and healthy. The spicier the better.
 
Don't think you can beat the good old English sausage and mash, whenever i go on holiday i always start hankering after this towards the end of the holiday, and can't wait to get home.....:thumb:


But i also like eating Italian pasta dishes but not Pizza cause thats just junk food....

And Greek Lamb Kleftico is another favourite....
 
I've got a mate from Blackpool who owns a bar here in Bangkok. He does a few English foods. Pies chips, beans and gravy or mash and pewas. EWhatever. Also he does sausages and mash. Nice food when you havent had it for a while. But i couldnt eat it all the time.

Ah, food ... a subject that anyone can get their lips around.

I'm a type 2 diabetic (diabetes mellitus), soon to go type 1 (failing pancreas) :rolleyes: ... however, when it comes to food, hmmm, it's not a 'special diet' we eat.

We eat a normal, healthy diet recommended for everbody ... low in fat, sugar and salt with plenty of starchy foods, fruit and vegetables.

Well, that is what everybody is supposed to eat ... right! :D

An interesting fact ... don't give a diabetic, diabetic food stuffs. It will do more harm than good. ;)


Unfortunatly for me, I like all foods ... :thumb:

It is an ancient celtic delicacy.

Have you never had the joy of seeing the lava bread at the side of the plate and wonder if it is edible. The excitement of seeing this dollop of ... It has been described as the outpourings from a cow on a high fibre diet ;) ... dark green gelatinous mix beside the egg, bacon and sausage as you come down for the breakfast after the night before.

It is an acquired taste. :p

It is a form of seaweed collected in South Wales and washed thoroughly. It is then boiled in a large vat until it takes on the above consistency. The best source is one of the stalls in Swansea Market. Once you have it home, coat it with oatmeal and fry in bacon fat. The first taste is never forgotten.

I am sure the party will enjoy it. :D

Blimey, I think that lot would last me three days :eek:

I'd never heard of lava bread, but I've eaten seaweed, from Ireland, it's quite yummy :)

I thought Lava bread was going to originate from Pompeii or somewhere ;)

Dear all

Lava bread:

There's more to Wales than stunning scenery, a tough language and a great people - there's also a rather unique breakfast...

Lava bread is usually sold in cans, but on rare occasions my granny would stink the whole street out by making it from scratch! As I remember that involves washing the seaweed more times than fresh spinach, preferably in running water, boiling it for ages, changing the water and reboiling it for ages, then pressing it in a sieve weighted down with anything that came to hand (usually one of grandad's bowling balls). She then rolled it in beaten egg and milk and dipped it in fine oatmeal and fried it with fresh cockles and thick slices of bacon.
