Following on from the 'favourite food and wine combos'

1. Smoked salmon
2. Beef Wellington
3. Spag Bol

Although something tells me on a desert Island, I'd probably prefer something lighter...

Need some clarification here... can I presume anything will be growing wild on this desert island? Wouldn't be able to live without fruit smile

After a few months alone on a desert island, I would probably be growing a bit wild. Especailly if you washed up on the shore in something flimsy and tattered, Miss S... biggrin

Can my Island be a little further North, please?

Mine would be:
  • baguette and brie
  • chilli and nachos
  • roast chicken
and I don't think I'd want (two of) those on a tropical beach.

Well it would be alright if we were all stranded together, we'd have a real feast on our hands! Presuming we're allowed to share..

Curry, roast dinners and bacon baguettes. That would see me through.

I may sneak over in the night, nick your food then carefully rub my footprints out of the sand so youwouldn't know who dunnit. Except for the fact that there's only you and me there and my breath mysteriously smell of cheese...

Ditch the bread and bring chickens and flour, I think we could make our own bread.
