Hell:- tripe and rice pudding.

M&S do a slow cooked half shoulder which you finish off 40min in the oven. Enough for two or one with decent lunch on the next day. Delicious.

Galen Wed 27-Feb-13 08:32:19

I just love the flavour of shoulder!sad

janeainsworth Wed 27-Feb-13 08:11:55

Glad you enjoyed it merlot
galen what about a one-person sized lamb shank instead?

Galen Tue 26-Feb-13 21:09:39

Really fancy a slowcooked shoulder of lamb with gravy, crisp roast potatoes, cauliflower and mint sauce!
Unfortunately that's too much for little old me on my own, so I don't bother.sad

Food hell! Half a caterpillar in the over cooked school cabbage!

Sorry - lost track of this for a bit - good to see heaven and hells. Had home made lasagne, roast beef and chocolate cake on Sunday - none of which is in my food heaven - but really good all the same!!

Heaven- blue cheese, shellfish, octopus,cuttlefish, anything with chocolate & a good roast lamb dinner with crispy roasties & proper gravy.

Hell- Coconut- well most nuts really but coconut especially- can't even stand the smell of it! Celery too & kippers or any fish with small bones in - love the taste of all fish but cannot 'do' bones.Childhood memory of getting one stuck in throat!

That sounds like a lovely B&B pudding, jane. I might give that a go.

janeainsworth Sun 17-Feb-13 21:19:08

We had food heaven for Sunday lunch - Coq au Vin, followed by Cardamom and black pepper bread and butter pudding.

Food hell.... overcooked cabbage and undercooked bacon, which used to feature prominently on the menu at school!

Hell is easy - anything slimy with tentacles.This includes tripe - it looks as if it should have tentacles and rice pudding - definitely slimy!
I know my heaven should be a beautifully roasted free range chicken or a lovely rare rib of beef, but sadly it would be a huge bowl of Eton Mess smile

merlotgran Sun 17-Feb-13 14:45:27

Food heaven = Home reared roast chicken with fresh vegetables in season and a nice wine

Food hell = Findus Lasagne.

Rosiebee Sun 17-Feb-13 13:30:53

Food heaven = savoury - good bread, butter and cheese
sweet - chocolate, raspberries or anything lemony smile

Hell = eggs [boiled, fried, poached and scrambled] all offal, all milk puddings.sad Couldn't find a throwing up smiley!

annodomini Sat 16-Feb-13 10:07:35

Food hell - seafood, especially calamare. Would rather eat rubber bands.
Food heaven - Cullen skink (ie a thick soup made with smoked haddock, potatoes, cream. A meal in itself). Anything with chocolate and/or raspberries.

Forzanonna Sat 16-Feb-13 09:52:07

The guest is always asked their food heaven and food hell.
What would yours be?
Food heaven - seafood, artichokes and wild asparagus for me
Food hell - more difficult, pineapple, pork chops that taste like cotton wool.
