Thought I would start a random lighthearted food thread Grin.

If you could only eat sweet foods or savoury foods for the rest of your life what would you choose and if you could only eat one savoury meal and one sweet dessert (can be fruit) what would you choose?

Mine would be: Sweet for the rest of my life.
Main meal: Spaghetti bolognese followed by creme brulee.

Savoury no doubt.

Meal? Hmmmmmm ......

I'd go for a Thali with lamb curry. Followed by pannacotta and fresh raspberries.

I love sweet but I'd have to go savoury - a life without bread or steak isn't worth living.

Main would be tapas as long as I got paella! And dessert... chocolate mousse with strawberries

Savoury

I've thought about my main meal: vegetable spaghetti (a mixture of carrot, courgette and butternut squash) bolognese, the bolognese is made with turkey mince, passata, fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, onion and red wine! Topped with parmesan and accompanied with cheesy garlic bread.

Depending on whether I'm in the mood for pudding, I'd either have a slice of lemon meringue with ice cream or a homemade chocolate brownie with ice cream and custard!

Savoury all the way.

I'd have to have pepperoni pizza and side salad followers by cheese and biscuits.

Savoury

Main meal: beef red wine casserole with baked potatoes
Dessert: profiteroles stuffed with creme brulee instead of normal cream (so I can have two desserts in one) and a dark chocolate sauce on top.

Savoury (I once pondered this question when I was a student and was eating a packet of prawn cocktail crisps - that settled the question for me, love crisps!)

Roast pork with crackling and all the trimmings
Trifle

Sweet. I would rather have two desserts than a main and a dessert probably why I'm a size 16 Blush

Roast pork dinner with all the trimmings followed by my dad's homemade trifle.

Savoury!

Vegetable pizza, and something chocolatey.

Savoury.

And I am the food twin of FiveMoreMinutesPlease because I'd also go for pepperoni pizza followed by cheese and biscuits.

Savoury for sure.

This would probably change if you asked me another time, but:

Roast chicken, stuffing, Ayrshire early potatoes, British asparagus and roast parsnip (I am completely ignoring the fact these don't come into season at the same time)

A lovely mixed seasonal mixed fruit salad (if I'm going to have all that stodge)

Savoury.

Cold chicken, jacket potato and salad, followed by a mix of raspberries and chopped nectarine.

I couldn't live without butter so have to go savoury.

Last meal would be a crusty chargrilled rare steak with a rocket and tomato salad and pommes dauphinoise. And Cabernet Sauvignon and Champagne.

I think that's Wednesday night's tea for me and DH sorted.

Buggers Morrisons do plain, peeled pre-cut frozen parsnips for about ÂŁ1 a kg bag. Literally cheaper than chips. They provide the perfect roasted parsnip all year round with zero prep.

Savoury for the rest of my life.
Main meal: Steak and kidney pie followed by banoffee pie.

Savoury.

Spicy lentil or chickpea dish, it has to contain lots of chilli, coriander and lemon or lime.
For pud I would say something chocolate because I am not into sweet things but when I am it may as well be chocolate. But that wpuld get too much and watermelon woukd be a better long term thing.

Can I have chips with my main rather than rice or bread? Now I can't decide what condiments I want with it.

Savoury. People assume fat people like me love sweet stuff but I manage to be obese on the savoury stuff.
