    BBQ Mini Chicken Griddlers for sure!



    Why? Because they are the most artificial pieces of chicken you'll taste in your life! Although the chicken might not actually seem like chicken at all, I have always loved them!

    What is your favourite hot drink and why? :bigsmile:

    A cup of tea. Because I'm British and it's the law.

    Does it specifically have to be ASDA Smart Price (budget)?



    Regardless it'd be supermarket-brand ultra budget Custard Creams and Bourbon biscuits. They're nigh on identical to any other brand; ie, delicious. They're absurdly cheap and give you plenty of delicious diabetes for like 40p. Whereas Smart Price/Value/Basics Beans are awesome but sometimes have way too much sauce, and value fishcakes etc are generally all filler, the Bourbon and Custard Cream is an identical constant and always reliable!!

    Time Out (I assume IT'S technically a wafer biscuit). It's great for tea dunking. Although I prefer the equivalent of Time Out sold in Ireland but I forget the name.

    If I'm not allowed to say BIG BREAKFAST, which is technically a single menu item, I will say their SAUSAGE PATTIES.



    Inexplicably, their seasoned sausage patties have a juicy, deliciously oniony-sage taste to them whilst having the consistency of a burger, making them utterly unique!! mmm.

    Dominos chicken strips. Delicious. They taste like good proper chicken (cough cough chicken nuggets cough cough). Dipped into bbq sauce :drool:

    I've tried numerous stocks, fresh, frozen, cubed and powdered, but SCHWARTZ ROAST CHICKEN GRAVY SACHETS, made with a wee bit of flour, hands down has the most incredible, delicious flavour.

    It's super-convenient, is creamier and thicker than you'd expect from a sachet gravy, and isn't overly salty-tasting. It's also incredibly affordable compared to other "premium" stocks at £2+ in the fresh stock bit. I recommend you seek it out to pour over your roast chicken, but it works extraordinarily well with carrot batons and sprouts too (slurp)

    Mint sauce at Indian restaurants. It compliments poppadom and naan bread really well, I wouldn't eat half as much of them if it weren't for the mint sauce (and onion salad). Unfortunately mint sauce from takeaways is rather shabby cheapo crap.

    Pineapple juice, it's sweet enough but not too sweet and is so refreshing!

    SMINTS!

    They so cute. Simples. Orrrr peppermint polos (the pale blue pack) because they remind me of childhood vending machine trips.

    Chicken and Mushroom pie. Not a great pie eater nor a big fan of mushrooms but together they make for a tasty dish.

    Blackcurrant Chewits are my favourite, as blackcurrant MOST THINGS are. But Chewits, unlike Starburst, Fruitella and other competitors, have a really SUPER JUICY flavour that really lets blackcurrant siiiiiiing!

    I do love a good Belgian chocolate topped fresh cream eclair! Chocolate, cream and buttery, light fluffy still choux pastry combined? It's hard NOT to love this.

    Melissa, probably an unpopular one here, but it'd be between LIVER and LAMB. Sure, chicken, prawns, beef and langoustines are amazing in a stir fry, but they tend to be slightly overpowered by the other flavours. Lamb has a distinct rounded, almost smoky flavour, where Liver has an inherent iron, rich taste that stands well against the likes of salty Nam Pla sauces and the vegetable/noodle assault.

    Very interesting. Never even considered lamb in a stir fry, how do you buy it? (the type of lamb you buy I mean) I think I'd of not thought of it because I only ever think of quick cook meats/fish in stir fry..I wanna try it now though. Lambs me fav!

    Favourite hot breakfast roll for me is a good sausage and HP brown sauce roll. I love me a bacon or egg roll too, but I'll have them any time of the day. For some reason, I'll only ever have sausage in a roll at breakfast/brunch time. It feels right.

    Favourite sharing bag of crisps and why?

    Melissa, you want cheap cuts of lamb (well, Cheap-ER, Lamb is hardly cheap). Shoulder is usually a good bet.

    My favourite SHARING CRISPS BAG is...

    LIGHTLY SALTED DORITOS!




    Or supermarket brand equivalent. With dips, they take on a fondue-like social quality; they are unremarkable alone, but with salsa they are epic. It requires everyone to muck in and have a munch, whereas with Sensations or big bags of Johnnys Onion Rings etc, I kinda feel all selfish like, "yeah, you can have... ONE... if I can have one of yours..."

    Sadly and disappointingly for readers, I love a good old tuna and cucumber sandwich, lighter choice if they have it as the whole 'swimming in mayo' really angers me! Its just fresh and light and its superior to those fussy sorta sandwiches! Though a bite or two f a BLT doesnt hurt every now and then but no cheese and onion, ever. EVER. Although usually I'll have sushi; I loves me some riaacee an' fiiiiish


    Favourite type of fish to have for dinner and why?!

    If you'd said lunch, my answer would be different! But for dinner my favourite fish at the moment is Sea Bass. It feels meaty enough to be a substantial dinner protein. Yummy.

    Favourite product containing milk? (Not added by you, naturally containing milk)

    Best thing to eat with FRIED ONIONS (lol, you said "friend onions", so cute) is a bit of thin FRYING STEAK. Cook both together in the pan and they infuse each other with tasty flavours!! I far prefer raw onion in most scenarios, like on burgers and hot dogs, but with a bit of frying steak cooking them, and cooking them TOGETHER with the steak, changes up the game!!
