Beetroot sandwiches are the best. Nice crusty bread, a good layer of butter and cooked beetroot. Not the pickled stuff, obviously.

Heaven: chips (as per the OP)
Hell: anchovies. I once got given a pot of 'Gentleman's Relish'. Disgusting!

On my infrequent visits to UK, first stop Tesco for a jar of Heywoods pickled baby beetroots which I sit in the car and eat half of before moving on...

PS Cant beat a liver sausage and anchovy sandwich........the Panino bar in St Georges walk use to do a fine peanut butter, liver sausage and anchovy sandwich a few years back

Just shows how s*** this country has become, the first thing you want to do when you get here is eat beetroot

When we went to Sardinia on holiday we noticed that both horse and donkey were on many restaurant menus

Whilst on a delightful visit to Phuket my dear wife and I embarked on a day tour of some islands provided by a Leisure Company.

We disembarked at Panyee Island where a buffet lunch was provided and whilst I was standing with my plate considering what to sample the tour guide pointed to one of the offerings saying it was "Monkey foot". I shot him a look that would shrivel a saveloy but he was jesting and it was actually chicken !

Jolly nice it was too and I returned for a second helping.Had it truly been "Monkey foot" there is absolutely zero chance it would have entered my mouth.

Food heaven - Full English Breakfast.
Food hell- Pasta, Cheese, most veg.

I'm embarrassingly the most fussiest of feckers and won't even try something if I don't like the look/smell of it.

Always been the same, and I won't change now !

I'm surprisingly healthy for someone who eats the crap I do !

Czech tripe soup might change your mind - they cook the cr*p out of it and cultivate the flasvour with carroway seeds, onion, garlic and marjoram. Drstkova Polevku (I'm half Czech you see).

strangely as weve been here over 20 years, yet to see frogs legs or horse on a menu, snails yes but not eaten them

Food heaven - A barbecue made with a mixture of real wood & lump wood, cooking thick steak and sausages with a side of onion, garlic & mushroom sauté + a salad. Kick off with a couple of cold Kronenbourgs whilst standing over the fire followed by a bottle or two Rioja at the table. Joined by friends who don’t like chatting much unless it’s about travel or football.

Food Hell - Sitting in one of those crappy Italian chain restaurants next to a family with noisy kids.
