Page 5 | To ask for foods which are genuinely delicious?

I’ve just tried blue cheese and honey on toast and it’s so delicious it’s genuinely taken me aback. I had the same the first time I ever tried guacamole. What foods have done the same for you. Not things that are tasty and you enjoy, but that you’ve tried for the first time and genuinely got a shock at how delicious they are?

I’m now remembering going on a euro camp holiday as a kid, and having thinly sliced tomatoes, thinly sliced sweet white onion, basil and olive oil with a sprinkling of salt. I remember it was on a huge flat plate and all laid out evenly. That was mind blowing, especially coming from a land of Turkey twizzlers and a mum who can’t cook/wont cook. It’s a classic flavour combination but sometimes you forget how good the old combos are, and I’ll never forget that first taste of properly seasoned, well paired, fresh ingredients on a plastic table in the sun.

I went to a 1950s cafe in a museum. I ordered an egg sandwich which came hard boiled with butter, sliced tomato and salt. I was genuinely shocked by how good it was. I’d never have an egg sandwich without ketchup, mayo or salad cream and it blew my mind how simple but delicious it was without any condiment.

Fresh oysters and scallops on a beach off the coast of Venezuela. We watched them being caught by hand and shucked on a table in the sea. $1 and worth every cent.
Also M&S truffle honey on any type of cheese. ❤️

I second the brown derby- Wimpy bar in the 80s. I take a bag of crushed hazelnuts to the seaside now just so I can recreate one once a year (nobody sells nuts now) 😂

We did hummus & roast veg sandwiches a couple of weeks back to picnic with a friend who is vegan. They were so so lovely and have been making regularly since.

Black pudding. I hated the thought of it but it is so very delicious.

Screamingabdabz · 28/04/2024 20:38

Bag of fresh hot chippy chips for me - nothing fancy other than loads of salt and vinegar.

Milk from the farm. Straight out of the chiller but before it's been treated in any way. Absolutely bloody gorgeous. You have to know a dairy farmer to get this though!

Dates. They are so sticky and sweet, it's hard to believe something so natural is so delicious. I like them chopped on porridge.

I was going to say dates.

Cinnamon toast

A homemade Victoria Sponge I just baked. The buttercream I made was out of this world, the secret was a dash of salt and some vanilla extract. So so good.

A warm, ripe peach eaten in the open air, fresh from the tree and bathed in sunsgine, with it's heady scent mingling with fresh hay the whiff of horse too takes me straight back to my childhood.

There's a dish I had in Jordan that was essentially raw meat paste ground up with pine nuts and garlic. It sounds revolting but it was sensational. Just couldn't stop eating it.

Pistachio ice cream in an Italian Gelato, I was literally speechless with pleasure!

AtleastitsnotMonday · 28/04/2024 19:47

A proper, aged, thick, sweet balsamic vinegar. The good ones are expensive but worth it. Best served with homemade dough sticks, straight from the oven for dipping. Or in summer drizzled over sliced beef tomatoes, with finely diced slivers of red onion, a sprinkle of rock salt and plenty of black pepper.
