Food heaven and hell
Ok bit Saturday Kitchen inspired this, but was asked by someone today, so got me thinking.
What is everyone's food heaven and hell ingredients? And also what is the dish you'd eat if you could eat only one till you die (ignoring nutrition)?
For me...
Heaven.....shellfish, love it.
Hell...rabbit, not that I don't like it I just don't see the point, so many bones and pretty tasteless in my experience. And any lemon based dessert, just not for me.
Favourite dish....bouillabaisse

Re: Food heaven and hell
I'm with Worthy pretty much on this one. No better foods then a bacon butty or steak and kidney pud - and i'm not big on seafood either - or anything with vegetables!

Re: Food heaven and hell
Heaven ... shellfish (I'll have your's Worthy). Oh, & belly pork, cooked slowly over hours & hours.
Hell ... offal. Of all types, in any form served however you wish. Kidney & Liver, Heart, Brain, Tripe ... & you can add Trotters to that after Friday.
Absolute "get it away from me", Anchovies. Love them in fact but get severe anaphylactic reaction to them. Ended up waking in hospital last time I ate a piece which was hidden in a canape.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Heaven - Fish or game, cooked in any way. Magnificent.
Hell - Offal. Utterly inedible!

A former g/f of mine always banged on about her veggie principals.
Was always found lacking when put to the bacon butty test though![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Heaven: Toss up between roast beef and Cod and chips. (bacon and egg on toast pushing)
Hell: Black puddings ( bad experience), pate, cauliflour and brussells sprouts. Don't ask why, I don't know.
Lifetimer: Cod and chips.

Re: Food heaven and hell
Such a good question...
Mmm...
Heaven... I'm on a Portuguese beach... there's an improvised 'restaurant'... a pit with charcoal glowing... and on top the sardines hoiked out of the sea an hour ago... on the waiting plate,a few salad leaves, a single thin slice of a med tomato, an even thinner slice of sweet onion, a drizzle of vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of pepper. a single new potato, a little dab of butter; nicely chilled and, by my side, some vinho verde, the driest I could find, or, in a different mood, a little red douro, opened an hour before... in thirty seconds, the six sardines, slightly charred, are going to be placed on this plate... I am in heaven to be...
Hell... I am in the rain on Churchgate and really hungry... someone I once thought a friend has been queuing up at Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe for seven and a half soaking minutes, and successfully buys me one pastie (grease and potatoe and something unspeakable replacing what should be pastry) and one 'meat' pie, pink, congealed, with 'gravy' consisting of water and puddles of fat... I am trying to thank my friend, as I fight the retch... and lose... and vomit over my new shoes...
To eat for evermore... A homemade Turkish Lentil Soup... A wonderful mixture of red lentils, chilli, garlic, onion, tomato paste, brown sugar, dried mint, and more dried mint, and lemon squeezed and more lemon squeezed and more dried mint added at the end, and more lemon squeezed at the end an all... oh, and veggie stock, I just use bouillon powder to make it... with crusty bread, if you like, add a little rice or tiny pasta if you like... The best soup ever...

Re: Food heaven and hell
Re cauliflour, in cheese sauce okay, without it, tastless. Brussels sprouts, likewise. Pate, never have liked it. Black puddings, something to do with being very drunk, eating them and putting a spoonful of mustard in a pint of Guinness and knocking it back in one. Long time ago, but the resulting bout of sickness left me unable to even smell black puddings without feeling queasy ever since.

Re: Food heaven and hell
Heaven: A medium rare filet mignon presented with as little sauciness as possible and accompanied by little potatoes, baked in their almost non-existent skins, with a side salad of cucumber (freshness), spring onions (tang) and tomato (taste) bedded on some fresh lettuce leaves.
Hell: Oysters, asparagus. I cannot eat either. I am well aware that many people love both of them but, in my case, put one of them within a foot (300mm) of my mouth and my swallowing apparatus clenches itself to the point of behaving like the young lass in The Exorcist.
For ever: Too much of a good thing doesn't work so I'm guessing that I'd be rather frustrated. Perhaps prawns with a couple of salad vegetables thrown into the mix?

... Oh, & I know we've been here before, but Heaven AND Hell, all in one tube, with superfluous plastic lid to keep any left over (as if ...) fresh ; PRINGLES !!!

nahhh:
coffee AFTER pudding - as it should be
coffee IN your pudding - a monstrous calumny!
Re: Food heaven and hell
To counterbalance Tango.
In the exact order of preference
Heaven: Black Pudding, Brussels Sprouts and Seafood (I would probably even eat them after being blended together)
Hell: Pepper and Tomato's
Whoever said steak and kidney pudding has got me feeling hungry. I could never get bored of S&K Pud.

Do not trust atoms. They make up everything.
Re: Food heaven and hell
Hell: I don't like butter, mushrooms, most kinds of beans, cream, milk and probably a bunch of other stuff. But if a dish doesn't have any of those ingredients, I'll eat it.
Heaven: So much to choose from. Steak, or a good curry probably.
For ever: My Nonna's homemade pasta, with my other Nonna's homemade sauce. The ultimate hybrid, but I doubt that I'd ever get them to collaborate on this, so I fear it's purely hypothetical.

I never eat white cabbage, but could eat savoy cabbage on its own.
