I'm in the PMS zone and so just currently craving carp to eat. Right now I would love a Greggs chicken and bacon baguette, some salt n vinegar crisps (baked for preference) some sort of disgustingly gooey fudge cake and a bottle of sprite.

What's yours?

Chicken chow mein, realllly saucy, with prawn crackers. And an ice cold, crisp Coke. Mmmm.

“ Carp” made me smile OP - had visions of you going down to the pond!

Oh, bloody autocorrect 🤦. I swear it hates me!

I'm sorry about your mum, I have experience with both conditions and they're so very cruel 💐. But her cake sounds amazing.

A large kebab with chips, salad, chilli sauce and ketchup from the Sunrise kebab house in Mansfield circa 2001. And a can of Lilt. Proper 90s Lilt.

A slice of pizza. Any topping you like.😁

Pepperoni pizza and garlic mayo from the pizza place i went to as a teenager. We used to share a pizza while looking at the sea then out for drinks.

A perfectly risen cherry souffle straight from the oven served with dark chocolate ice cream.

Cheeseburger with extra onions and a very cold glaaa of English sparking wine - Chapwl Down maybe. 🙌

Aintgointogoa · 15/07/2026 02:37

I would snap up a dozen oysters and a bottle of Sancerre. Or as PP a very large plate of sashimi with cold sake. OR a perfect cheese plate paired with the perfect red.
Am very far from the sea so oysters not an option. This is not a cheese culture country either. Sashimi OTOH is available - and pretty good tbf - but without the sake (unless in a very fancy pants restaurant)
DREAMING is free !

With @UrbanSoul, I would love a prawn cocktail. And their cream bun sounds pretty good too.
And, in the middle, @WWomble's filet steak. Plus string fries. Plus a peppercorn sauce.
Or maybe some char-grilled lamb chops. Definitely with petite pois. And some Jersey Royal potatoes.

Tacos and a slice of Victoria sponge

Bean and montery Jack cheese quesadilla with home made pico de gallo with loads of lime and coriander with fluffy yellow rice with peppers and sweetcorn in and cold soured cream.

Nofeckingway · 15/07/2026 18:25

I would love some monkfish or scallops perfectly cooked with linguini in olive oil and cracked pepper .

A bag of cheesy moments, miss them more than I should. Old style lucozade

Rondayvu · 15/07/2026 19:14

Chicken dopiaza with mushroom pilau and a keema naan with a huge glass of red wine. We do not have one decent Indian where I am (Ireland, possibly the entirety of the southern end with a handful of exceptions nowhere near me) and I would absolutely kill for one.

24Dogcuddler · 15/07/2026 19:22

I can’t snap my fingers! 😬
But it’s OK my appetite is poor
Years ago I had a savoury cheesecake starter at a 12 th century inn in Devon. So maybe that if someone cold snap their fingers for me.

SqueakyFromme · 15/07/2026 19:34

@Rondayvu new hobby ? Indian cooking there's so.many tutorials on you tube, and you don't need any special equipment really
