Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
Gotta love the Scots
OH, tha's you
ALPHABEST: Biscuits. Broad, I know, but let's face it, a world without biscuits doesn't bear thinking about. Hey, you want a packet of crisps with that cuppa?
something is wrong here. Very wrong.
ALPHABAD: Bitter Lemon Tonic. Made the mistake just once of thinking this was like lemonade and took a huge swig. It's not the same. At all. Unless you add salt or something to your lemonade...

ALPHABAD: RUSTLERS QUARTER POUNDER.
Aw, I suppose I can't be too rough about it; it is after all, that fake meat stuff. W... Whaddya mean, it's"real meat"?! This shoe sole I'm eating?!
ALPHABEST: RUMP STEAK.
Overlooked cut of steak, but it's plump, juicy and waaaay less expensive than a T or Fillet!!

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
ALPHABEST: As vegetables is a bit broad (though lets face it, veggies kinda rule), I'll go with Vienesse Fingers. True, they take ALL the moisture from your mouth should you attempt consumption without a drink (I suggest milk), but the combination of chocolate and biscuit sandwiching jam or buttercream is simply divine. You wanted a treat? You GOT a treat. Not something you forget you've had because they're pretty filling!
ALPHABAD: I said vegetable juice last time (just a reminder that it's FOUL) so this time I'll say Vodka Jelly. I don't care that it's cool to drink and you're tryna be all party animal like, leave my jelly alone. I'll have it alcohol free, with a plastic spoon and bowl, and maybe some vanilla ice cream thank you very much. The way it SHOULD be. The vodka doesn't even mix properly, it just sits on top of the jelly.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
ALPHABEST: GRAVAD LAKS.
Or "gravlax". Salmon and Dill are two best buddies, so a pate of the two makes for a damned wonderful thing on crackers. Black olives add even more.
ALPHABAD: GRILLED HALLOUMI.
I just don't get it. It tastes like nothing. Okay, so it has SOME taste. SOME. But halloumi is usually subbing meat, and that ain't cuttin' it.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
ALPHABEST: I'd say Stromboli just for the fun of saying it (it has to be said in an Italian accent) but it's not necessarily the best tasting, just thought it deserved a mention. And last time I went for strudel so that's out the picture. OK, it's gotta be: STUFFED PEPPERS. My mum makes really good ones, with tuna and anchovies, mixed with a bit of breadcrumbs, and then sprinkled with some cheese. It makes for a light tea or delicious lunch. And they're so easy to make. Plus, if you don't like fish, there's so many other things you can fill em with; lamb, rice, bolognese, cous-cous, pork, the list is endless! And if you don't like peppers, well, then you're way too fussy and I can't help you. Sorry.
ALPHABAD: STRAWBERRIES AND CHAMPAGNE. Seen as I said string cheese last time, this is my choice. I've never understood the combination. It ruins the taste of the strawberry and adds nothing to the champagne. So, um, why?! You wasted a good strawberry there.
Strawberry SugarPuffs need a mention here too, damn crappy fake nothing-tasting cereal. YOU LET DOWN YOU.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
ALPHABEST: FRENCH ONION SOUP. when in a rich consomme, onions become sweet strings of insane deliciousness, bringing a mundane vegetable into the spotlight. Kudos also goes to FRULI, a delicious strawberry beer than tastes like actual puree.
ALPHABAD: FRIDGE RAIDERS. Sweaty chicken sausage things simultaneously dry AND greasy? What's the point?!

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
ALPHABAD: HASLET. You'd think that luncheon meat stood as the sole resident in the "Terribad tier" of cooked meats. You'd be wrong.
ALPHABEST: HAGGIS. BATTERED. CHIPPY. Come on, it's me. Did you expect a less Scottish answer?!

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
BAD: Dill. My least favourite herb, ever! I think it's awful. Aniseed isn't a taste I like. And it looks so sweet and innocent with it's fine prettiness. Deceiving dill.
BEST: Dim Sum. Delicious pancakes. The chinese, you've done yourselves proud. I love the variety you get with them too.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
ALPHABAD: GATORADE.
Tastes like Lilt had a romantic tryst with fairy liquid.
ALPHABEST: GAMMON SLICES (THIN).
For some reason a gammon steak seems too much; too thick, too salty. But smoked gammon thin cooked meat is super flavourful without being overwhelming and you don't need loads either.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
BAD: Go ahead slices. PICK US, WE'RE SUPER HEALTHY! ONLY 80 CALORIES..per slice. In a pack of 3 slices. Might as well have a small chocolate bar mate! And they're not cheap usually either.
BEST: Goulash. If you haven't tried this stew, do. I don't like the typical british stew which is dark, dull, soggy potatoes, beef cooked within an inch of its life but this stew is incredible! So much flavour, spice, colour. Different countries have their own versions but the recipe I cooked I did with sausages and onions etc and paprika and my mum made little dumplings. Joy.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
ALPHABEST: CADBURY DAIRY MILK.
Don't be fooled by the fact this is pimped around every corner shop here to the ends of eternity; it doesn't make it average. Dairy Milk is rich, creamy and affordable. Unlike the pricy Hotel Chocolat, the risky Zotter, or the intense Green and Blacks high concentration cocoa chocolate, Dairy Milk has no glaring weakness. That regal purple? It's not a coincidence. Dairy Milk is king!
ALPHABEST: CARDAMOM SEEDS.
INEXPLICABLE. Gettinga whole one in a curry results in a facial expression akin to hearing that drunken fling you had last night was in fact your granny. Nightmarish.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
ALPHABEST: GOLD BARS. Congratulations Caramac and Club biscuit, a healthy baby biscuit! Unique little morsels; there's nothing else like 'em!
ALPHABEST: GOOSEBERRY FOOL.
Now I like gooseberry and the unique sour taste and the fact they look like teeny watermelons. But in a fool, they're pointless. A sweet... That's not sweet. Pointless.
How about

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
ALPHABEST: flatbreads. I've recently rediscovered the beauty of flatbreads; crisp thin bread baked to perfection seasoned with herbs. BEAUTIFUL. And garlic bread pizza made this way is also amaze. It's bready brilliant!
ALPHABAD: Flan. The savoury kind. Ok so technically it's called quiche here but I said fluff last time! And savoury flan is not a food I rate highly; flan should be a dessert not a dinner.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Alphabad, The Alphabest!
ALPHABEST: LOTTE KANCHO.
Mourning the passing of Burton Cartoonies? These are almost exactly those! Forget the poor imitation, HELLO PANDA.
ALPHABAD:LOGANBERRIES.
Second only to Cranberries in bitter, offensive tastedness. I would rather eat raw juniper berries.
