Which food did you find the most underwhelming?

[threebikesmcginty]

Yeah right. My local greengrocer pretty much hands me a fresh fruit salad when I walk through the door.

The bastard, hasn't he got any real stuff to eat?

That was Lord Mandleson who thought the guacomole tasted odd.

Thought mushy peas were guacamole; neglected to mention a £750,000 loan on a mortgage application; twice resigned from the cabinet; is up to his neck with Russian oligarchs but still worth a peerage and has the complete confidence of his party leadership.

I do not have a high opinion of this man. Selling snake oil shouldn't buy one a peerage. It does, but it shouldn't.

Had they left it lying about on the floor?

Doh! Fallen asleep.

BTW: Finally got my laughing gear around some Kernel this weekend. Definitely not underwhelmed! Not especially original perhaps, but very well made I thought.

We're still on about food, yeah?

What did you try, DP?

Sorry, I went all OT. Anything with margarine on it doesn't whelm me at all.

 

[User169]

What did you try, DP?

Pale Ale (Motueka and Nelson Sauvin)
India Pale Ale (Galaxy)
Export Stout

All excellent, but the Export Stout is really good stuff.

Are you looking for the AIS award for robustly denigrating any "leftist" politician in inappropriate circumstances?

Ha ha ha ha ha.... Mandleson is of the left. Ha ha ha ha ha.... Clause IV....... Ha ha ha ha ha......

Pesto from a jar is underwhelming, unless used sparingly on a tomato tart or any tasy fish en croute. As a pasta sauce, it whelms nobody.

What, exactly, is pesto good for?

Fresh pesto is glorious and delicious and Yummmmy. You can make lots and freeze it.

It is like good sex. Not as sweaty, but not entirely dissimilar.

I love food.. all food.. really I do.

Trout, no taste at all.

Strange isn't it, trout overwhelmed me...blew me away.
Mums from Nothumberland, some years ago she brought back a whole trout, not the skinny looking things you see in fishing programmes, this was the size of a small salmon, freshly caught in a local river the day before.
Good god..i'd never eaten it before, it really did blow me away, probably one of the nicest, smoothest, lovliest flavours i'd had in a long long time.
20 years later, i still remember it. Ironically, i have meant to indulge many times since, but never got round to it....perhaps i should remember the moment and not try again...it'll probably spoil it.

I think their porters and stouts are their strong point. I've had to have a glass of Export India Porter now to confirm this - your fault.

Have you ever seen as much gunk in the bottom of a bottle though - it's sedimentary my dear Watson!

Fresh trout was a bit disappointing but smoked trout I found fantastic.

Never been a big fan of humble pie

It wasnt one of those recipes that add a pint of wine a bucket of herbs ect? The one I tried was wrapped in bacofoil and grilled, nothing added .
