Hmmm. lovely reminder of school dinners...

I tell you SloMo, I love all foods in all it's shapes and forms. I have only ever come across 2 foods I do not like. 1: Coconut, though will still eat it. 2: Some sort rancid sea anemone mush in a posh sushi bar in New York..
I am a total foody. I never eat the same thing twice in a restaurant until I have gone through the whole menu. I will try anything once. I just love food.

Anything expensive ... tends to be over-rated and pointless to the extreme....
oysters, lobster, caviar....

Let's face it, it's Dutch food. I love the Netherlands, I lived there quite happily, I go there often, some of my best mates are Dutch, but nobody's going to go there for the food.

What's the difference between a Dutch Breakfast and a Dutch Lunch?
About 4 hours ....

Love the buttermilk though.

Having lived in the Netherlands off and on for 6 years I can but agree that the food is genuinely dreadful.

South African food on the whole is excellent, just don't give me mealie-pap.

Cornish pasties. A poor substitute for food.

Krispy Kreme do[ugh]nuts. Really don't understand the fad with them!

+1 - revolting.

As for the
- oysters? Gorgeous (freshly caught and grilled on a eucalyptus barbecue)
- asparagus? Cooked to perfection, within 10 minutes of harvesting, - to die for! [Same's true for sweetcorn]

- even sea urchins? Eeeeh - I did enjoy eating the little b*****ds after going for a swim off the coast of Senegal, and ending up with feet, legs, and bum pricked to b*****y with sea urchin spines. Two weeks of sleeping on my front, while partner pulled them out with tweezers. They'd only come out when the wound had turned septic enough. Don't care what they taste like - if they're on a menu, I'll eat 'em.
