A Tasty Meme before breakfast

[f4f3]

What's your favourite...

wine: It depends (this may be a theme...) Sauternes, or something from Alsace. A 10 year old Gerwutztraminer, Yum.

beer: No - don't touch the stuff
other beverage: Beverage. What a silly word. But Scotch Malt Whisky Society casks, espescially numbers 4, 14 and 24, (Highland Park, Talisker and McCallan) with 14 having the edge.

hot drink: A dangerous weakness for triple-shot skinny lattes, or Twinnings Breakfast blend for tea.

fruit: Only if I have too..Brambles from the side of the road to Kilberry in Kintyre

vegetable: No thanks. Oh, all right, potatos
cheese: Blue, usually - Dunsyre or Lanark
nut: Cashews (bless you)

ethnic food: Indian or Chinese or Thai or Italian or Mongolian or occasionally American

fast food: The seafood shed on the Cal-Mac pier at Oban, for their scallops in Garlic butter with brown bread and salad, all in a tub for 4 quid.

pizza: DiMaggio's Calzone - meat and cheese and mushrooms and Yum!

main dish: A good steak - although if you'd said starter I would have gone with Loch Fyne Scallops. In fact, for a main dish their seafood platter is hard to beat, although you really should share it.

salad: No. I'm Scottish

soup: Cullen Skink! The amuse bouche (or whatever you call it) in the Ubi Chip is great, and Gandolfi's is superb.

snack food: Dates!

cookie: Tunnocks teacakes

pie: caramel shortcake

ice cream: Crolla's, who used to run ice-cream vans in Glasgow when I were a boy, and still turn up in the odd cafe or restaurant.

wine: bizarrely I quite agree with Frankie about Pizza Express Montepulciano, v drinkable. I also like Amarone, prosecco, South African single estate white wine, and Australian reds, partic St Hallett ones, and that label with the slightly mad old man on it.

beer: not mad keen, but if forced I can choke down a bottle of Miller High Life aka "the champagne of beers"

other beverage: Gin and tonic

hot drink: earl grey tea

fruit: granny smith apples, passion fruit, lycees

vegetable: parsnips

cheese: comte

nut: almonds, coconut.

ethnic food: anything except Mexican.

fast food: sushi

pizza: Four seasons

main dish: roast lamb

salad: tomato

soup: spicy corn chowder; my mother's "cauldron"

snack food: those round French toasty things with currants in them.

cookie: garibaldi biscuits

pudding: rhubarb crumble, bakewell tart, spotted dick

ice cream: coconut.

Is a coconut an actual nut?

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Are you being pedantic?

As a matter of fact, are you looking at my beer?

[widgetfox.livejournal.com]

Thought you never touched the stuff.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Are you saying I'm a poof?

[blonde222.livejournal.com]

You might be right, but if it isn't, what is it?

[widgetfox.livejournal.com]

T'was a real question.

According to my father, it is a nut - it's a palm.

You are the only person I've ever heard say anything good about Garibaldi biscuits: I've always thought they were more like something given to the army (or shot at the army) for field rations...

[blonde222.livejournal.com]

They were, but i LOVE them. I can't buy them though, because if I buy them I eat the whole packet at once.

[widgetfox.livejournal.com]

I quite like them, although they score quite low in the dunking stakes.

Chocolate digestives, every time.

Yeah, forgot prosecco. Good call.
