For the rest of your life, what would it be?

I think I’m a C. Chocolate, cheese (& crackers), chicken, chips/crisps. Also all the good veg - corn, carrots, celery, cucumber.

Bread would be an issue! But if we are allowed to be specific, then pass me the croissants and ciabatta. Oh, and all the cocktails.

But if I wasn't cheating, then I'd have to agree with you OP... Chocolate, cheese, cake, crisps, coffee.

Cod, Chips, Coconut, Carrots, Chicken, Cherries - oh and the all important "Curry"!

Yeah, C will do for me.

C as well! Cheese, chocolate, crisps, chicken pie with chicken gravy. Cheese bread from M&S, that definitely counts. Cultured butter!

Definitely C as well. Chocolate, cake and curry were the 3 that leapt to mind. I'd try my curry with couscous as I couldn't have rice. Carrot and coriander soup with ciabatta would be lovely for lunch or sometimes cashew nut butter sandwiches. Cherry cheesecake if I wanted a pudding.



Only downside would be swapping tea for coffee.

C for me as well, you could get a fairly balanced diet out of that.

I’d miss lamb, tea and broccoli the most.
