What would you REALLY like to eat? Light-hearted

We all know we should eat more veg, less meat, no processed food, less dairy, cut out alcohol... but it's no fun is it?
What would you REALLY like to eat if all foods were equally healthy.
My breakfast would be: white toast with oodles of butter and strawberry jam. Cup of tea.
Mid-morning: coffee and a cheese scone or shortbread. Perhaps a glass of sherry.
Lunch: Salad with lots of mayonnaise, thickly sliced ham and a French stick.
Afternoon: Scones with clotted cream and golden syrup plus a slice of Victoria sponge.
Evening meal: A nice roast with loads of potatoes, veg and Yorkshires. Pudding would be cheesecake with yet more cream.
Evening snack: Pringles or cheesy cheddars with chunks of cheese washed down with a good wine or port. Bar of chocolate.
Lovely jubbly.
If only .........

Indeed, MissA. It’s no myth. The ducks queue up for the tube? The things people who eat this stuff tell themselves. 🙄

They hope to salve their conscience. I too would never contemplate eating it.

Even us lot don't queue up for a tube down our throats, as evidenced by the people who dread a gastroscopy.

'The ducks are not harmed'.

Not sure you have thought this through.

Ten countries (I think) have banned force feeding animals, and fois gras.

Why would that be?
Are they against ducks having a good time?

I would like a ploughman's lunch please. Several cheeses, tasty breads and pickles. Half a pint of bitter. Apple pie and icecream and coffee.
