We went out for ds 18th birthday yesterday and for dessert he had vanilla ice cream with hot dark chocolate sauce. As he started eating he proclaimed "there are few food better tasting than really good vanilla icecream" this sparked quite a debate between us with warm toast and butter comming up high. Chicken soup vs tomato soup (2 vegetarians in our household) my personal opinion agreed w ds. Really good vanilla icecream is one of life's pure pieces of heaven.

What do you all think? Utter deliciousness in it's simple form?

Melted marshmallows (or marshmallow fluff, if you can't get them to melt). Something about the texture and the sweetness....

oh damn. Now I'm hungry again.

Freshly cooked, nicely crisped chips.
Or squishy chippy chips!

YY to ice cream and buttery toast. Totally disagree on the soup. Bleurgh.

Warm, fresh bread.
Homemade fudge or tablet.

A good fish finger sandwich. The soft bread and crispy fishfinger combo, you can't beat it!

Warm toast and butter. Had to be white bread. Even though I usually prefer brown.

Ultimate sweet for me is really good vanilla ice cream with homemade raspberry coulis. Heaven in a bowl.

@Enko
I agree good toast and butter HAS to be white bread (and I am a granary/rye type of girl usually)

Decent white bread and butter
Really ripe Brie

Absolutely no to the soup!

ExpletiveFairylighted · 22/12/2019 10:21

Fried egg and crisp chips.
Carr's water biscuits and just about any good strong cheese.

I agree with good vanilla ice cream and a dark chocolate sauce but soup of any description is a long, long way down my list.

A chip roll from the chippy with salt, vinegar and brown sauce

Steamed Brussel sprouts (huge bowl) with a tablespoon of marmite stirred through them

iklboodolphrednosedreindeer · 22/12/2019 10:27

Definitely white bread for toast, dripping with butter.

Chips & gravy with loads of vinegar and a buttered barm.

Big plate of cheese & biscuits

Baileys affogato

Just as occasional treats or they wouldn't taste as good.

ParsleyPot · 22/12/2019 10:31

A small dish of superb quality olives. Just can't beat it.

Candlebarbara · 22/12/2019 10:31

Bacon sandwich, on fluffy white, crusty bread, with proper butter and a smidge of brown sauce.

Bacon must be thick cut, not too fatty and cooked to perfection.

HigherFurtherFasterBaby · 22/12/2019 10:45

Agree re ice cream and toast. Soup is foul. All types.

ExMILs lasagna. In fact any pasta that she makes.

The first bite of a perfectly ripe pear.

Good vanilla ice cream with a hot espresso poured over it is a simple desert that we love.

Home made skinny chips.

Home made brown bread topped with very
hot roasted cherry tomatoes, topped with brie that melts and becomes gooey.

shiveringsparklingtimber · 22/12/2019 11:14

A really well made BLT. Fresh white bread spread with good quality mayo, lean crisply fried bacon, ripe juicy tomato slices, iceberg lettuce and freshly ground pepper. Mmmm!

Hoppinggreen · 22/12/2019 11:16

A really good home made egg mayo sarnie on white bread
