1) Duck - cooked anyway.
2) Strong Cheddar - the kind that makes my lips tingle.
3) Liquorice - any flavour.
4) A good burger- can be meat/non meat (venison and haloumi are my favourites). Must have some veg on it, but NO cheese.
5) Coffee ice-cream.

A chiko roll is like a spring roll and it was invented in the 1950s by Frank McEnroe. It was designed to be eaten on the move without a plate etc.
It is described as an Australian cultural icon. Originally called a Chicken roll despite not containing chicken. It does however contain some beef. (Yes, I googled it smile)

Now that I live alone, I am able to have my favourite dishes all the time, rather than having to share someone else's preferences to be fair to them, and to cut avoid cooking 2 separate meals. So now I eat loads of fresh fruit, particularly raspberries, Bananas, melon & plums,Waldorf salad or mixed salads (but without cucumber or mayonnaise), just a squeeze of lemon. Smoked haddock with a poached egg on top and toast on the side, BLT, again without mayonnaise, Spanish omelette, sometimes with sliced courgette instead of potato on the bottom. Sweet&Sour chicken stir fry, or pasta, veg, herbs, & chicken with white sauce, lemon sole. Dessert tends to be either fresh fruit, fruit & nut mix, Danish pastries or a favourite - moist Gingerbread, buttered and served with banana slices. A special treat is plain chocolate Hobnobs, only bought if having visitors, as otherwise I would eat them all. As most things are sold with 2 portions, I cook them both and am more than happy to eat the same dish two days running.

A roast dinner with all that goes with it.

Fish pie with peas.

Most fruit especially raspberries, mango, bananas and a russet apple.

The cheese board any cheese with the exception of what my DC used to call 'plastic cheese' eg edam. Eaten with fruit or fruit cake.

A proper cooked breakfast. No baked beans and ideally fresh tomato.
