    BEST: PIZZA. Oh come on, you knew it was coming. It's one of those foods the world wouldn't be the same without, can you imagine it? A world without pizza? I'm gonna cry.

    BAD: Pina Colada. I will myself to like these, but I just can't. I think every female orders them when on holiday, probably because they're the only cocktail they know, or because they think they're feminine. But I just see them as the typical "british abroad" choice. And half the time they're so watered down. I'm not coconuts about them.

    Best: Naan bread. Not shop bought, a proper calorie laden Indian takeaway one. All the varieties. Soaked in good curry sauce. Hard to beat, no?

    Bad: Nutmeg. Only acceptable to me when blended with other spices so in essence, i can't really taste the nutmeg at all. I hate overly nutmeg things, if I go out and order a rice pudding dessert and the swines sabotage it with a heavy amount of nutmeg, I think I'll cry.

    Best: Water. I didn't used to like it but sometimes, if it's a hot dry, or you're REALLY thirsty nothing can beat an ice cold glass of water. Plus, you use it in stocks etc and loads of other things.

    Worst: WAFER thin hams/mints/anything. It is SO thin, I'd rather like, thick cut please. No waaaafer thin mint for moi.

    ALPHABEST: Toast. Because come on, where would we be without it?! Honey on toast, smoked salmon and cream cheese on toast, jam, simply butter, tuna and cheese, beans. Endless!

    ALPHABAD: Tootsie Rolls. MASSIVELY overrated. I was so disappointed when I finally got to try them. And Tomato Sauce filled scotch rolls.

    Alphabest: Daim bars. Because, come on, let's face it. Crunchy butter almond covered in milk chocolate equals pure heaven, does it not? :coma:

    Alphabad: Dates. I like all fruit, to be honest, and it is for this very reason that they are my alphabad. It's simply because I never have them that often.

    ALPHABAD: Quavers. I really hate the smell, so I've never been a fan of the crisps. And QUICHE. The mother of all Q evils. SHORTCRUST WALL. And eggy, heavy flavour? Ew.

    ALPHABEST: A Quesadilla can be nice if done well. Mexican is pretty up there as a meal choice for me, so this goes down well!

    BESTh, it's either Roysters T Bone Crisps or rotisserie chicken but it's going to have to be the later. My dad is an awful cook and whenever we used to visit on a Sunday, he kept taking us to chicken express to get burgers and chips, being kids..we loved this. But my mum moaned about the food so he decided to go upmarket and take us to Waitrose chicken counter instead. We had fresh rotisserie chicken with fresh vegetables or chips etc every sunday. From the smell to the taste, heavenly.

    BAD: Roasted potatoes (FROZEN) - I don't care whose auntie you are. You don't and never will come close to proper roasties. Finding these on a roast dinner offends me.

    ALPHABESTweet and sour chicken/prawns from the Chinese. A must have for a big Chinese Order! Swizz Chocolate, superior heavenly goodness. Swedes (mashed with carrot)

    ALPHABAD: Sweet Breads. Not pleasant. Also really strong Swizz cheese fondues, because they can be SO nice!

    Alphabest - croissants. Nice and fresh ones from the local bakery with a perfect cup of tea/coffee and i'm smiling

    Alphabad - croquettes. They are just potato, thats it. Too heavy to have as a snack but too light to be just a meal, they truly have no purpose.

    ALPHABEST: Stollen! Bloody love the stuff. Sugary marzipan cakey goodness.

    ALPHABAD: Still water. Why would you buy that? It's bland and tasteless!

    Alphabest - Frankfurters. Cooked 'on the barbie' in a roll with french mustard and ketchup. Oh lord.

    Alphabad - Fried aubergine. I mean, why? It's a flavourless sponge.

    BEST

    FRENCH BREAD. A fresh loaf of french bread is too tantallising. Breaking bits of and dipping it into butter is ADDICTIVE.

    WORST

    FRENCH DRESSING. Just don't like the stuff.

    ALPHABEST: Tesco's own brand prawn shells or granola bake. Both exceptional pieces of own brand goodness! And Terry's Chocolate Orange! Coz chocolate and orange knows no better. Tempura battered prawns should also get a mention

    ALPHABAD: Tea (fruity tea), smells so nice. Tastes so... Empty!

    Alphabest - Canned tuna, good to have around in times of emergency and can do a lot more then people think

    Alphabad - Canned salmon, the worst form of canned anything. So oily and over fishy if that makes sense!

    ALPHABEST: CHERRIES. Because cherry pie and cherry flavoured things are usually amazing! Also, chocolate. Coz, well, just coz. It's chocolate damnit!

    ALPHABAD: CHEESEBURGERS. The sad looking fast-food ones. I don't like the cheese they use!

    I cannot believe you put cherries over cheeseburgers Dani.

    GO - BEST: Golden Grahams. I actually adore this cereal. Age old, often overlooked, delicious, not really comparable to any of the other like for like chocolate/cluster/nut/wheat/cheerio variations. I'd eat them dry or with milk. Graham, is golden.

    GO - BAD: Goji berries. There is nothing, super, about that food. Do you even have a taste? What is that texture?!

    I love Golden Grahams nom nom!!

    Alphabest - Bakewell tart. A proper one that has not been abused by a glace cherries!!

    Alphabad - Banana crumble. Possibly the worst thing to enter my mouth! They go all squishy, and end up like a mushy mess. Not good.

    BEST: Nectarines, because if you get a nice juicy ripe one, they're to die for! Much better than a peach or plum! Also, new potatoes with salad cream and green beans. REALLY nice.

    BAD: Neapolitan ice cream. Okay, so you may be 3 colours, but in my experience, it's been so disappointing every time I've had it! (Not necessarily BAD, just disappointing... but I can't think of a bad one.)
