The cookery thread has got me thinking what our three favourite foods are that we couldn't be without.
There's a bit of psychology in this too, to find who is sweet and who is savoury.
1) That rich dark brown jelly that accumulates under a dish of dripping.
2) Real Melton Mowbray pork pie
3) Pork Crackling.

Bread and dripping... mmmmm! A good standby in the forties when butter was severely rationed. So was meat of course. But people kept what dripping there was. What happens to it now I wonder?
One of my nearest and dearest is a principled (but not fanatical) Vegan, so I can't be too rude about Jacks's list. But I must say my first impulse was to be quite sarcastic. Surely you must have tried some food in the course of your life Jacks?

Ice cream, chocolate, cake

i get it off the proper butcher i know,you buy it by weight spread it on proper white bread with just a hint of salt added

1. Garlic: enough of it and they all taste the same.
2. Gin and Tonic to hide the taste of garlic.
3. Rice pudding - to absorb the gin..

So we're a predominantly savoury forum then, no chocoholics?

Chocolate is bad for you. Besides, you cannot add garlic to it. I bet Frankenstein had it as HIS favourite food.. along with virgins' blood...

1. Oranges (or, even better, grapefruit)
2. Full cream milk
3. Butter (salted - preferably Kerrygold)
(p.s. - Glad to see Humph enthusing about the national dish. Wouldn't make my top 5, but I definitely like to have it with neeps and tatties sometime around 25th January.)

There is going to be Marmite flavoured chocolate soon and can garlic flavour be far far behind? Check this

>> Foie gras entier.
I had never tasted a bit of foie gras before the other day MH. Only pate de. But the other evening I had some toasted on top as part of a sort of potato entree.
I wasn't that taken with it. But I am no gourmet, not even a gourmand these days. The fg seemed too much of a fluffy consistency trip to me, taste too subtle for me. Thought it needed salt. And I kept thinking of the victim. I like geese and ducks as individuals. Frogs too, which put me off frog the only time I ever tried it. This is contradictory though because I like pigs, cattle and deer and eat them without much of a qualm.
Don't mind snails though. Big tough stringy deep-fried or barbecued West African jobs with lots of pepper. More my speed I'm afraid.
