What is your Food Heaven and Hell?

[viggoswife]

Food Heaven is freshy grilled seafood, preferably eaten overlooking the sea in Spain with a glass of white Rioja.

Food Hell is Bruised Fruit of any kind. It actually scares me and I think about it all day if I come across an especially disgusting bit that I may have nearly eaten.

Heaven:
Quorn ready meals (hooked on the new Stroganoff and DP has just tried new thai curry)
Ossau Iraty Ewe's cheese
Artisan Bread
Good soup in winter

Hell:
Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie
Coca cola
Anything with Aspartame in it.
Energy Drinks
Processed meat
Alcopops

Heaven - violet creams

Hell - realising that you can see half a small white worm in the stilton you have just scarfed

Merlin I agree with you - sprouts YUM YUM

I hate anything that I haven't seen uncovered!

Heaven.....good creamy pate (preferably foie gras) with rock salt, crusty french bread and a glass of desert wine...or...smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and toasted seed batch loaf smothered in unsalter butter...
