Food Heaven & Hell

[TwigtheWonderkid]

Heaven: Most things. I'm not fussy. Whatever I'm given, apart from...
Hell: Coffee, peanut butter, tinned tomatoes, cream.

I'd erased peanut butter from my memory. Foul tasting, disgusting stinky stuff - makes me think of something you'd scrape off your shoe. Has to be the food 'hell' of millions worldwide.

If you don't like peanuts then ignore this.

If you do, and it's just its "butter" iteration that offends you, you could try making your own. It's terribly simple/boring/time consuming to make, but it might change your mind on the: "Foul tasting, disgusting stinky stuff"

Hell yes, fresh is lovely. Or try an almond butter too.

Well well, thanks for that, never knew such a thing existed, only mortar and pestle! Do you have one? Is it a pain to clean? Does it have a crunchy/smooth control? Tell me more!!!

ETA: Just checked out the reviews, maybe the old ways are the best

Not got one of those but a health food shop in Florida used to make fresh butters at the counter with a big old cast iron contraption.

Heaven - steak of foie gras

Hell - Offal (strange given my love of foie gras but it doesn't taste like 'normal' liver)

WholeFoods supermarket have machines you can make fresh.

A bit meh I found though the shop is generally great if expensive. Out Waitrose's even Waitrose.

Years ago the "Divine Light" mob used to make their own Peanut butter. It was v good and a good price. Don't know if they still exist or if so if they still make it.

Heaven: Well cooked animal. Yet to find one I dinnae like

Hell: Small portions, things that smell awful, Eggs on their own

[matchmaker]

Heaven: Most food...
Hell: Goats cheese. Vile stuff

[K50 DEL]

Heaven..... A beautifully aged fillet steak, lightly seasoned and cooked blue, served with parmesan mash and creamy mushroom sauce.


Hell..... Curry / Chilli / Thai / Virtually any other forms of foreign muck purporting to be edible - I reserve special vitriol for beansprouts and stir fry in general.

heaven: lobster
hell: onions/coleslaw

[LordGrover]

Hell: Ready meals.
Heaven: Most things, fresh.

[soad]

Food Heaven: Burritos - or more specifically, smoked paprika seasoned beef and bean burritos with plenty of cumin, coriander, and a scattering of bird’s eye chillis. Wrap all the ingredients up in a fresh flour tortilla and liberally dole out homemade salsa, guacamole and a dollop of soured cream on the plate.
Feeling happy? Have a burrito. Feeling down? Have a burrito. The best burritos tend to be the ones you make yourself. Restaurants often make them too greasy...

And Watermelon.

Food Hell: this is a very easy choice: fried eggs.
There’s something about the rubbery white and the sickly, gooey centre of a fried egg that I find particularly disgusting.

Also, potato croquettes.

The yellow of an egg is a gift from the gods.

I must agree the best part, but better yet poached.

Real peanut butter on fresh strawberries is fantastic.
