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.

@Nocaloriesinchocolate That helps a lot. Thanks 😊

Deathraystare · 27/10/2020 08:45

Oooh. So many with the letter C.

Chocolate
Crisps
Chips
Cabbage
Carrots
Corn on the cob (not the little fellas which taste of mould- or how I imagine it would taste!)
Cream
Quorn - some one before me cheekily put this in as a C so I will do the same!
Coco Pops - I usually indulge if it is offered in a hotel on holiday! That is the only time I do though.

Most of this not terribly healthy - no fruit!

C
Chateaubriand would take cake of my love of steak

carbonara for my love of pasta

And then chocolate everything

P. Potatoes, pie, plums, pasta, pickles, pulses, peas, pumpkin, pastry, parsnips, peppers, pesto, pine nuts, pineapple, prunes, peaches.

Ellabella989 · 27/10/2020 08:58

Definitely C as I could never give up my beloved chocolate.
It would also mean I could have cheese, cake, coconut, crisps, chips, cod, curry, chickpeas, cucumber, carrots, corn, custard, crumble, chicken, cauliflower cheese, cheeseburgers, cookies, cherries, chilli, Chinese and crab.

MacbookHo · 27/10/2020 09:04

I came here to say B (biscuits, beef, barley, bread, buns) but the C for Coffee thing has thrown a spanner in the works. 🤔 Does it count if I say Black coffee..?

You have strengthened my belief that the letter p is the way to go by adding 'pulses'. I am confident we have made the best choice Smile

You can all stop - because MilkTwoSugarsThanks has nailed it! Brilliant. Grin

FallonsTeaRoom · 27/10/2020 09:21

Definitely C.

Cheese, chocolate, Cava, curry, coriander, chai, chutney, ciabatta, cream, cherries, cake... 😋

AliBingo · 27/10/2020 09:38

Yep definitely C, crisps curry chocolate coke and cruciferous veg.

cariadlet · 27/10/2020 09:46

I can't believe that I forgot chilli! Yet another reason to go for C.

Whathappenedtothelego · 27/10/2020 10:00

Has to be C for me too, was momentarily disconcerted at having to switch from tea to coffee, then remembered I can call it a cuppa, and dunk cookies in it.

And I can call mash "creamed potatoes" and have them too.

If I'm in a restaurant I can go for the chef's special.

Now I just need to think of a loophole to allow me to have butter and marmalade, and I'll be content.

Crumble
Cream
Cookies
Cabbage
Creamed spinach
Creamed potatoes
Cauliflower cheese
Cassoulet
Casserole
Chargrilled steak
Chops
Cream teas
Charcuterie
Chutneys
Champagne
Curry
Carbonara
Cannelloni
Chowder

cariadlet · 27/10/2020 10:18

Just realised that I could still have houmous if I called it chickpea spread.

BearSoFair · 27/10/2020 11:02

C too. Instant winner when it has cheese and chicken!
P wouldn't be bad either though. Pizza, pasta, potatoes, peanuts, peaches...

Nacreous · 27/10/2020 11:18

I could do C if I had Ceylon tea.

And you could have a Cobb loaf... Or a crusty roll...

And pasta you could have the specific shapes, so I think it would be the best option.

OverTheRainbow88 · 27/10/2020 11:40

P-
Pizza, pasta, potato, pesto, peas, pepperminttea, pepperoni, pilau rice, peppers, peace, Pitta bread, Pringles, pumpkin, pie, popcorn,

lborgia · 27/10/2020 12:15

All of the ps for me, and prawns - and just in case this was for life, and had to include chocolate and coffee - profiteroles and a piccolo (small coffee!) Grin

picklecustard · 27/10/2020 12:16

Pizza pasta potatoes Grin

shumway · 27/10/2020 12:22

I concur with B. Bread, bagels, butter, bacon, brie, buns, bara brith.

starsinyourpies · 27/10/2020 12:23

Could you have caffeinated tea as opposed to decaffeinated tea?

Namechangeme87 · 27/10/2020 12:24

B
Burgers
Bread
Beer

Namechangeme87 · 27/10/2020 12:25

Ooh and butter ! For my bread ( yay)

AnnaSW1 · 27/10/2020 13:09

Mines always been C

1400spincycle · 27/10/2020 13:14

Another C here, chorizo, chocolate, chips, cheese, coddled eggs, capers, coffee, crisps, chicken, calabrese, corn, cupcakes, cake, chilli, curry, cottage pie, cookies, coriander, carrots, cucumber, casserole, cabbage, I could go on...
