If you could have eat any meal in the world right now, what would you choose?

[tackling]

My tastes are pretty modest, but impossible as our oven is broken!

Some roasted garlic on bread, very slow-cooked brisket, roasted vegetables and triple cooked chips, followed by a massive slab of cheesecake. 👌

How about you?

@ButWhereDidTheWindComeFrom Where’s your char kway teow place? I’ve been really fancying some for the past few days but no one near me delivers. I need a plan from when I’m out of Covid isolation!

Prawn Cocktail

Texas bbq pizza from dominos

Lemon meringue pie

Tuna and pineapple pizza with potato wedges and a heap of pickled red cabbage (of the type they put on kebabs).
I'll then have lemon meringue pie.

Starter would be guacamole made in front of me by a proper Mexican chef with proper Mexican tortilla chips to dip in. Margarita.
Main lobster linguine but with at least half a lobster, maybe a whole one. Chassagne Montrachet
Green salad
Cheeseboard with absolutely filthy meaty stinky cheese and truffle honey. Port
Very dark chocolate mousse

Oh wow. I was musing my meal so hadn't seen the previous post!

The creamy spinach pasta that the Italian in town made. It closed 10 years ago and I still miss it so much!

[quote ButWhereDidTheWindComeFrom]A really decent Char Kuay Teow. With lots of prawns and sliced pressed fish cake. I keep trying to make it myself but I just cannot quite get it right. I have a current craving so strong I am actually thinking of going to London next week to my favourite place that serves it. (London is a 2 hour train trip away... but I could check out the V&A at the same time).

If you’re anywhere near Birmingham I can recommend you a great Malaysian cafe. Called Kopitiam in the jewellery quarter.

Steak pie, mash and veg. I’m coeliac so can’t have pastry.

Am gluten free…

Very very good white uncut bread- not sourdough- with amazing butter. The whole
loaf, no regrets.
Warm roast chicken
Salad with anchovies
Maybe some fries with aioli

A very flinty, cold rose

A delicious tarte au citron

I would like to eat it in a very specific Sardinian square, under a very specific tree.

OR

I would like a sushi or dim sum banquet

I will eat that anywhere, with lots of ice cold beer

Lamb kleftiko.

Chinese takeaway. All day every day.

Oh and as an occasional break from that, I'd have fish and chips from a lovely place in Ripon, plenty of salt and vinegar on them, sat in the car with the windows steaming up.

Bacon-wrapped scallops

Rare fillet steak, with dauphinoise potatoes and tenderstem broccoli

Tarte tatin, with lashing of clotted cream

(Gah! Now I feel hungry)

@TheGonnagle we are planning a Birmingham trip later this year. :) Thank you!!

The one i am thinking of is opposite Kings Cross Station. I used to work around there and it was a total favourite.

mmmmmm...... happy days.

Hope you are feeling okay also @SomethingNastyInTheBallPool :)

Pizza. I haven't intentionally eaten gluten for 2½ years and I really miss pizza. The substitutes just aren't the same.

Just anything I didn't have to cook or clean up after myself and that was reasonably healthy would be so great.

Thanks, @ButWhereDidTheWindComeFrom!

I am desperate for a roast. Cooked by someone else, who will also do the washing up. Feeling poorly today and need proper homecooked comfort food.

@SomethingNastyInTheBallPool

Thanks, *@ButWhereDidTheWindComeFrom*!

happy to spread the kway teow love!

Chinese takeaway 🤤 those sweet and sour chicken balls, with the ridiculously sweet thick sauce, and egg fried rice.

I have no idea why, I don't eat meat and haven't for years, pretty much 15 years followed by a big piece of a really good cheesecake.

A masala dosa; or perhaps stuffed paratha, lime pickle and a cup of chai.

The fish and chips that they fry in beef dripping at the Black Country Living Museum.

Pre DC I was hiking in Austria. It was red hot, and I was getting worryingly low on water, and near the top of a mountain, like a Mirage appearing I rounded a bend in the track and found an old fashioned inn run by a very, very old lady.

I had an amazing Viennese style (pork) schnitzel that was bigger than the plate along with three types of potato salad and 2 glasses of ice cold lager.

I still dream of that meal.

I worry that if I ever try to go back, I’ll find it isn’t there and it never existed. Terry Pratchett style.

So yeah, I’d have that.

The Chinese takeaway in waiting to collect 😋
