Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!My favourite is Cadbury eclairs! Because they have that duration of a suckable sweet on the outside, but then a soft delicious chocolate center. I like their shiny wrapping too, they feel special. Also, I don't much like hard sweets or ones coated in sugar as after a few they hurt my tongue!(Original post by TotoMimo)
I meant my one today Dani. It happened yesterday and three times today now, and my heart is in tatters.
My favourite Homepride Sauce is the bog-standard SAUSAGE CASSEROLE. I could literally just eat it alone from the jar. It's delish. The amazing thing is that despite it being a jar sauce, it actually tastes better than my home-made attempts, and THAT is the sign of a good jar-sauce.
What's your fave and why of SOOKABLE SWEETIES?

Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!Why, that would be the ONLY Ben's sauce I buy; the Szechuan Spicy Chilli.
It genuinely tastes like takeaway and unlike ANY other jar sauce that claims "spice", I can taste the chillis (though certainly not "hot", it at least delivers something).

Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!MAGIC STARS! why? Because they're out of this WORLD. They're fun, they taste delicious (of course, they're chocolate, made by Mars (oooh, space theme!).) I like the stupid little game on the back of the pack. You can usually pick a bag up cheap. The small stars make for perfect grazing.(Original post by TotoMimo)

Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!Having never actually got one (is it cruelly worth it?! I've been tempted but it's like... For half the price and just a tad more effort I could make this myself...) i'm gonn answer having looked through the website
It all LOOKS so tempting;
Honeycomb/Fruit and Seed Flapjacks, The Toffee Apple dip thing, The Breads (tomato, herb and provolone cheese, cherry tomato, basil and Puglian pesto, smoked paprika, garlic & thyme), the Dried Fruit and Nut mixes.
They all look so good, but nothing is like WOW I couldn't find this in the supermarket. Great you can get em together but it's nothing amazing.
HOWEVER, that being said, the one thing I could say is the best, making it hypothetically my fave is the Natural Treats. The idea of these things and the flavours they've attempted are fantastic, and you can't get little packs of these sorta things so for that reason, they are my fave!
Favourite cartoon based food? (flint stones ice lollys for instance) -

Marvel ice pops! Marvellous. On trend right now with the avengers and the summer. And I like ice pops. More so than I do ice lollies.
Fav and why of school dinner foods? Ones that were banned not included.

Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!The wonderfully economic and nostalgic TRAYBAKE EVERYTHING. Square-cut traybake super pillowy cheesy pizza, square-cut chocolate traybake johnny cake with luminous custard.
Strangely, I just love how perfectly portionable they made my primary school dinner food. Even the macaroni cheese inexplicably came traybaked, served as a cuboid. I'm aware this sounds odd but it freaking RULED.

Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!Favourite, easy - those bacon wrapped delights that grace your table that festive time o' year
because who doesn't love pork being hugged by even more pork?! I could eat like 100 pigs wrapped in blankets but alas, apparently its impolite not to leave some for others. SIGH.

Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!Asda bubbly bars. I guess they're trying to be Wispa/Aero. They're so nice though, and I like the big packs you get of mini ones. I have them in a drawer as my quick chocolate fix and they seem to last me months. Doesn't taste like cheap chocolate!(Original post by dani_1991)

Favourite and why of dishes with a CRUMBLE -

Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!Easyyyyyy. Apple crumble. Simple yet effective. So much better than apple pie with it's WALL of shortcuts pastry, apple crumble has a delightful crunch to it while maintaining a smooth and sweet interior.it doesn't even need cream or custard or ice cream but hey, if it's there....
crumble is like the best winter comfort dessert. And I'm not adverse to eating it cold either.

Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!I would NEVER have whipped cream with chocolate. Never ever ever ever. So some other desert with fruit. I pick.... APPLE PIE!! Its sweet, bitter apples would match nicely with something creamy.

Chocolate and pecan. Okay it's not weird but it's not as often seen as salt and toffee. Why? Because you can suck the chocolate off and the sweet popcorn holds itself underneath. It's like two treats in one.
Fave and why of weight watchers cake bars?

Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!I adore the coconut cake bars, sure they're the size of an ATOM, but there are just too few good iced coconut cake slices on the market.
Kipling, Tesco, hell, POUNDLAND has chocolate cake slices, lemon drizzle slices etc; but there aren't a huge amount of coconut variations.
What's your fave and why of... LIMITED EDITION CHOCOLATE BAR? -

Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!I couldn't think of any limited edition chocolate bars other than the standard kinda boring ones (snowy top toblerone, the kit kat chunkys, flake alure etc); I even googled! And seen as M&Ms arent a BAR, I was stuck... Did you have one in mind?!(Original post by TotoMimo)
No takers? Okay...
What's your face and why of: SHAPE, SIZE, COMPOSITION of CHIPS? (Chunky, Chippy, Frenchfried, Shoestring, Waffle, Crinkle, Oven, etc)
ANYWAY
Chips: Thin, Crispy, Crunchy, Oven Made. With a dash of salt, maybe vinegar but rarely. Though Chippy Chips are good, they are immensely filling and I prefer them every now and then. I'm not a fan of chunky chips, like the ones you get at pubs with steaks, and french fries from fast food places (Maccy D's for instance) whilst they are good, they're really greasy, whereas when you make your own chips in the oven, this is massively reduced. Thus, the thin french-fry style oven made chips are superior though they MUST be crispy and crunchy, its the law.

Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!Ah, it's lucky you put the parenthesis because what I was going to say was REAL dirty.
mwaha. No, my favourite thing with toblerone is actually to break off the little triangles, put them in my mouth and just let them melt. They're big bastards too so they last a good amount of time. But as tempted as I get, I never bite. Slowly but surely, the delicious chocolate liquefies on my tongue..the nutty aspect kicks in for added pleasure. It's a wonderful experience.

Re: Food and Drink: THAT's my Fave, Because of THIS!My personal favourite is white icing and coconut, for no other reason than I utterly adore coconut desserts and cakes (Scottish Snowballs, the spheres of sponge fused by white icing, coated in yet more icing and coconut, is my all-time-favourite cake).
What's your favourite and why of... MEAT-BASED SAVOURY SNACKS (Actual meat, not "flavoured")?
