I would strew some goats cheese Anty x infinity squared with a cherry tomato on top, Strewth. I prefer the look of the pork meatballs meself, and done they will be this weekend I reckon. Tonight it's another boring Waitrose pizza, although these 'deluxe' ones are actually very, very good. It shall be served with a bowl of nestling green leaves, drizzled lovingly with a homemade balsamic and mustard vinaigrette. NOMNOMNOM |

NOMNOMNOM Marty + Buyers Premium + VAT You can have my last cherry tomato anytime! When I posted my receipt I nearly posted the following in the message but didn't want to upset anyone conversant with The King James, and think I was being disrepectful, but as you have posted about the word 'strew' which I know you love I will. This one's for your love of the word. Anoint me with garlic and strew me with goats cheese Cover me with spikenard Stay me with olive oil And comfort me with flageolets, Roll me in vine leaves Flavour me with saffron and cinnamon Make me for me a girdle of rice studded with figs For I am comely Let the warmth of the hearth Heat me and the breeze waft gently so the spices thereof may flow out Come my love, let us go forth And eat of my pleasant vegetables. |

Freaky Eaters.
I've never seen this programme before but just been watching on iplayer about the woman who has eaten nothing but cheese for 30 years. I watched whilst a classic sauce puttered in the background (one putter per minute according to Ower Nige of course, anything faster than that is simply beyond the pale, less than one putter per minute is taking hedonism to new heights)
Got me thinking (and I hope no-one here has eating problems) but is there a food/ingredient you are not necessarily addicted to but cannot imagine life without? And conversely, which food/ingredient would you consign to Room 101?

We're having roast lemur tonight.  I cannot imagine life without apricots, fresh or dried if I can't get fresh. Room 101? Definitely dessicated coconut. |

Milly, to me apricots taste of lemur fur  Agree with you about desecrated coconut (as my Mother called it!) but love coconut milk in curries. My Room 101 candidates would be pomegranates, okra, baked beans (but not the giant Greek ones), dried bananas, HP Sauce, mushrooms and turnips. |

Life without cheese would be deeply sad - especially the runny, veined, stinky varieties. (But I know people who find the whole idea of cheese totally disgusting)
Room 101 - lychees, sweetcorn

Oh, Good Lord, I nearly posted about lemons and Father Bernadette ........... But I restrained myself (N.B. with difficulty and a hurried Hail Mary ) No, my must have nom nom noms are chilies, penne pasta, cornichons, creme fraiche, all green veggies, Welsh lamb, goats cheese and blue cheese. I love cottage cheese, it is so healthsome, (although not exactly toothsome) as you swallow each mouthful you really feel your spiritual health improving. Eating it is a Penance which absolves you from Sin I find. Doubly absolving when it is mixed with pineapple. |

Ah yes, chillies! Absolutely must have them - fresh, dried, pickled. High nom nom factor. Also fresh coriander. Oh, and rocket. Cripes, how could I have left out garlic?  |

I can't imagine life without eggs, in just about any form. (Or tea, but I suppose drinks are another subject.)
I had to think very hard about Room 101, because there aren't many things I really hate. The two foods I dislike most are other people's idea of a treat - avocado and smoked salmon.
There are, I admit, one or two foods that I have never tried, because the thought of them repels me - oysters (raw shellfish???!!!) and tripe. I don't think I've ever known anyone who eats tripe, or indeed whether it's even possible to buy it any more, but I remember seeing it in the windows of butcher's shops, all pale and revolting.

Mary, wasn't the traditional way of cooking tripe boiling it with vinegar? Bleeergh! I've never experienced tripe (well, not of the edible variety ) and I don't feel my quality of life has suffered as a result ... Hmm, okra seems to be the vegetable of choice so far for Room 101. |

Because garlic is just there, puttering in the background, ever omnipresent, whereas turnips, Spawn of the Devil some say, just lurk, sulkily. Hoping to be mistaken for Swedes who have exciting sex lives but they are just English and boring and no-one ever comes up with a serious recipe for them. There are more exciting recipes for Celeriac than there are for turnips. <Sigh emoticom> What a tangled life vegetables have. Now I am feeling sorry for turnips, what it is to be unloved, to be passed over for more exotic root vegetables. Can you imagine their misery and the sudden, unbidden, tear, as they are left on the supermarket shelf? |

This thread has taken a turn into weirdom! I'll be back, but can't live without: cheese, lamb, pork fat (any form at all), oatcakes (esp Ron's), cabbage, coffee and finest fillets of fag. 101: okra (die, die!), anything pickled, brussels sprouts, olives, oysters (again), strong-tasting mushrooms. I've had tripe once, in Rome, steamed and very peppery washed down with gallons of the local white wine. (That last bit seemed very important at the time...)  |
