My mum's roast potatoes.
Marzipan (from Denmark or Lubeck, not the standard stuff in the supermarkets)
The deluxe custard from Ambrosia (the carton not the tinned stuff).
I saw that clip yesterday. Brilliant!
Pizza.
End of.
Hawaiian pizza with a sprinkling of Firecracker cheese.
Veggie chilli with mashed potato
Love that clip though. I've not seen that before. The look on the hosts face is great.
Ah, the benefits of a classical education😀
meat and potato pie and peas. Anyone from Lancashire must surely agree. Cheese and onion or butter pies may be substituted in extreme cases.
Currently mince pies.
Later it will be a grilled cheese and ham sandwich.
Kleftiko, or ox cheeks with garlic mash and greens.
Priceless.
Chicken and mushroom PotNoodle.
Maybe kebab, but only at 2am and only after at least three pints, one tequila shot, two more pints and a brisk walk halfway across a town center.
M&S cheese curls
Toast, butter & marmite
Disappointing that you have to ask this question at a time of year when mince pies are on sale.

Am I alone in really not being at all bothered about mince pies? It's not that I dislike them, but there is nothing to particularly like about them either. They are just sweet, flaky (and never 'nice' flaky - just a crumbling mess of moisture absorbing pastry), and with the inevitable crunch of some stalk or something hidden in each pie.

Bread & butter pudding. Ideally with maple syrup and cream.
Corned Beef (in a tin)
jesus I'm slow. I glanced at the clip and honestly thought they were taking the piss out of the presenter - where she nods solemnly and says "yes, I'd have said donuts..." and you see in his eyes for a microsecond that maybe he doesn't know what's happening?
But then the penny dropped. I absorbed greek myths at a more formative age than I did the simpsons.
In the UK Fish and Chips, for me anyway.
Or custard.
Xmas shopping in Cardiff yesterday and we walked past a milkshake place that seems to sell more stuff that's not milkshake than stuff that is. Thats not the problem I had with it. The problem is the thing on the menu that was described as 'Frozen Custard'. This doesn't make any sense at all to me. I don't understand why anybody would sell it, or buy it, or eat it. Custard is great, warmed and preferably with a good fruit crumble. But frozen? It's no wonder the world is in such a mess when frozen custard is on a menu. It's like a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon and causing a hurricane in Woking...
Oh, the ironing.
Ice cream is (or should be) basically frozen creme anglaise - posh custard.

Your culinary education missed a step in the recipe. Put custard in your freezer and you'll get a solid block of frozen custard. Process it to get a decent texture and consistency and yes, you'll make ice cream. The consistency of ice cream is not the consistency or mouthfeel of frozen custard, unless you've processed the custard into ice cream, in which case why would you sell it as frozen custard?
Using your logic a boiled egg = scrambled egg = omelette = poached egg = fried egg.

I spent two years as a food technologist working for Mr Kipling. We made Mince Pie all year around and. for just about everyone.
I have seen way too many mince pies to ever really crave one
( I left them and joined a company who happened to make Christmas Puddings. Which we had to taste at 11 am every day. I'm not really that keen on Christmas Pudding!)
Wasabi Peas. Loads of them and good ones to give a real kick and head-clearing whooooosh.

Nah, that's not possible! I was a NPD tech for 4 years, mainly working on cheeses but other dairy* stuff as well. I still love cheese, despite having to do shelf-life tasting and constantly smelling cheesy. (I'm not joking - I had Shropshire blue, some goats' cheese and cheesy bread for lunch.) I'm sure I'd still love mince pies as much as I do now if I'd worked in your job. 😀
I nominate cheese as Food of the Gods. Just not mild supermarket cheddar.
*I thought it funny when the poster above used the phrase 'Oh, the ironing.' to describe my lack of dairy knowledge. 😀
Chip Muffin and a can of Fizzy Vimto.
Confit du canard, or cassoulet
Marzipan (from Denmark or Lubeck)
Niederegger for the win.
Roast potatoes.
Hot & crunchy or cold the next day, I love them.
The Danish marzipan is slightly different to the German. I'll plough through kilos of the stuff if left unattended with it.
I can't believe everyone has missed the correct answer, which of course is: a hot beef stottie (with gravy).
VERY much food of the gods.
Welsh cakes!
Scotch pie on a buttered roll.
Cold sausages.

My Dad - post-war ration baby - told me that with his first ever pay packet he bought a pound of marzipan and ate it all in one go. Promptly threw up. Certainly didn't stop him from continuing.
Anyway my current favourite snack is natural yoghurt blended with crunchy peanut butter (no additives) and honey. At a ratio of 3:1:1
