Food Heaven/Hell


Quote  |  Reply

Ok I'm having a really boring day at work today so just for fun...

What is your idea of food heaven or food hell (yes, fellow brits, I nicked this idea off the Saturday Kitchen).

I'll start:

Food heaven: Incredibly rare steak. Still breathing if possible. With thick cut chips and blue cheese sauce.

Food Hell: Rhubarb. What a pointless excuse for a food that is. Unpleasant tasting string! If you like rhubarb, eat up now cause when I rule the world it will be illegal!

Food heaven:....  creamy scrambled eggs with Scottish smoked salmon on a toasted slice of my homemade caraway seed bread

Food hell... cucumber.   On a salad it's just green litter. 

Heaven - double chocolate brownies

Hell - tomatoes - it's about the only food I will actually spit out if I accidentally get a bite. 

Heaven: Anything with melted cheese--the more the better.

Hell: Asparagus

Heaven: heaping pile of asparagus (I'll take yours, deaglesfan)

Hell: eggplant anything. 

Heaven:  Ditto on the rare steak. 

Hell:  Cookies that were made by taking a really good recipe and substituting all kinds of "healthy" things until the end result tastes like a cross between bran and cardboard.

Heaven: Chicken parmagiana with spaghetti with slices of fresh italian bread


Hell:  Anything with fish or mayo

Heaven:  Grandma's rolls fresh out of the oven with the slightest touch of butter.  Mmm!

Hell:  Mushrooms.  Ugh.  That icky texture and flavor..

HA. I love Saturday Kitchen, high five.

Heaven: A rich, chunky Moroccan vegetable stew. Chickpeas, apricots, mixed root vegetables, and a side of warm wholegrain seed bread or of spiced brown rice... yum. Man I want to make that now.

Hell: Anything my dad cooks when he's drunk - we nickname it "Dad's Mess". Can contain any ingredients often in a large pot, pan or bowl, mostly containing random trimmings, oils of various types, and comes with a fine layer of charring and burning. Ha, ha, ha. Really, though? Gratin dauphinoise. I hate it.



Gijane: Even with crispy duck pancakes?! And your heaven sounds so good. D;

Food heaven: a nice thick slice of oreo cookie swirl cheesecake with peanut butter cup chunks and caramel drizzle and a good dollop of REAL whipped cream on top. With chocolate shavings, of course. 

Food hell: Anything with butter or mayo. Ew! Can't stand the stuff. 

5whisperer- I am totally with you in your food heaven! Rare steak, chips (fries in the USA) and chunky blue cheese...awesome!!

Food Hell= Southern fried foods rolled in cornmeal and deep fried in fat like people eat down here in Alabama! Gross! All the food is brown and looks and tastes the same.

Food heaven: brownie sundae with the works

Food hell: beets... ughhhhh

lalabanana,  What is a "crispy duck pancake" ? Sounds yummy. ;) I may be missing out in something...

Heaven ... my triple chocolate cheesecake with a bit of whipping cream ...

Hell .... Turnips ... bleah ...

Food Heaven: salted herring under a coat of shredded boiled potatoes, chopped onion, boiled eggs, and boiled beets, all in layers, with some sour cream in between each ingredient layer.  YUMMO - can someone say Russian food rules! JK

Food Hell:  Raw milk (not lactose intolerant, just hate the taste) or Mushrooms (that slimy texture - eeeewwww)

 

Heaven: NY style cheesecake with fresh strawberry topping

Hell: Brussel sprouts-yuck!

Food heaven: Endless scallops, lobster, shrimp, tofu and every fruit/veggie to ever exist!

Food Heaven: warm, fresh baked bread of every sort with butter and oli and balsamic. Oh, and cream cheese.

Food Hell: same gypsyk-red meat

Hell-Liver, augratin potatoes, meat in a can.

heaven: home-made brownies, still hot, with a scoop of ice cream.  chicken burger (grilled chkn breast) with pesto, avocado and brie.  lots of apple cider (not the bubbly kind) to drink.  with a live band playing (because in my heaven i'd be in a pub)

hell: brussel sprouts, melted cheese hard cheese, like moz/cheddar (i know, it's weird...), anything with lemongrass, liver, lima beans.
