I would choose C
Chips chicken coleslaw followed by cheesecake

RitaAndFrank · 04/05/2025 18:29

I came on to say C too!

If my diet had to consist of one initial, then I could do a lot worse than cheese, chocolate, crisps, chips, crackers, caramel, cucumber, carrots, chicken, chorizo, curry, cheesecake, Champagne and coleslaw.

C is clearly the best.

S could work, sausages, spuds (gives flexibility), spinach, steak, salmon, spring onions, spaghetti, satsumas, Stilton, sponge fingers, strawberries, sauvignon blanc.

I think i could cope

Edited

Thanks for this. I'm definitely sticking with S 😋

As well as sliced, I could also have some ... I'm sorted!

Who cares? Think of all the lovely ice creams you could have!

Exactly. Delish

BobbyBiscuits · 04/05/2025 18:31

If C includes chips then I might go with that. So..

Chips, coleslaw, Chinese food, Cambodian food,(probably not allowed a whole cuisine?!) chicken, cheese, cake, crisps, chocolate, cream, coconut milk, cabbage, erm..cherries, Cheerios? 😂

BitOutOfPractice · 04/05/2025 18:33

I’m going for P because of potatoes.

Sprogonthetyne · 04/05/2025 18:34

Pasta, pizza, potatoes, pies, pastries - I won't be very healthy but at least it's tasty. Maybe I could balance it out with peas, parsnips and pears

moanafan · 04/05/2025 18:07

P. Pasta, pizza, potatoes. Parmesan, profiteroles, pistachio ice cream…. P covers quite a bit!!! Prawns, peppers, pepperoni, pilau rice, pigs in blankets… ‘perfectly-delicious-meals’ 😂

ohyesido · 04/05/2025 18:41

S, steak and sandwiches

FlyPhobicDog · 04/05/2025 18:41

P is not a bad shout:

Potato, porridge (sorry, love it. 😂), pizza, pasta, pudding, pecans… err 🤔 pears?! Pita bread…

But C is also a definite contender:

Cheese, chocolate, cream, crackers, cake

I think on balance I would go for P, assuming you can still have ingredients that begin with other letters (so e.g. cheese and spinach on pizza, chocolate pudding, etc.)

Pieceofpurplesky · 04/05/2025 18:41

B. Bread, butter, Brie, beans, bacon, bananas, blackberries, blueberries, brownies, bell peppers, basic, beef tomatoes - washed down with barolo.

i could live on all that’s (and nearly do!)

JillAndJenTheFlowerpotMen · 04/05/2025 18:47

Smart move on the milk!

This could also work for W: wheat for pasta and bread, plus wine

FKAT · 04/05/2025 18:51

Wonder if there's a linguistic theory that explains the popularity of C, T and P for delicious food stuffs. The tongue / lip smacking sounds perhaps?

Anything beginning with q is a definite no no. (Quorn, Quark)
