[Closed] Your favourite meal...

My next one.

definitely wouldn't be from a some food joint, home cooked for the win!

Sunday morning Nihari at This 'n' That:

Needs a very slight hangover, two kebabs, naan & salad for the full 'Fat Lad Starter Kit' experience.

Heaven.

home cooked gammon is an excellent shout.

Chicken Bhuna!

AM: Bacon sandwich
PM: Pie, chips & peas.

Venison pie. With chips. By preference the Broad Chare one.

impossible to choose one bcause variety is the key. today I'll go with chilli con carne and garlic bread. mmm mmm mmm

Oh, now I'm wondering if I might prefer Enchilladas.

Shellfish in general, but Mussels specifically.

Apple Crumble for dessert (with custard, proper Birds custard made from powder, not that poncy runny sauce, nor premade carton cack)

Probably home made Thai curry for main course (made from a recipe from my former local award winning Thai restaurant in Holland)

Chicken Rogan Josh, Pilau, Peshwari Naan, Onion bhajis, sag aloo, washed down with Marstons Pedigree.

I try not to think of food like this - it's just fuel for the machine 🙂

However when I do it's Apple Crumble with Birds Custard every time!!

Steak, chips, eggs, fried onions.

A really good burger and chips. Not a mass produced, McD's job, oh no, I'm talking hand made with steak mince, crispy bacon, strong cheddar, charred bun and some really good chips.

Or tartiflette with a bottle of heavy duty red wine.

Great shot of the This & That crew. My favourite is their Dal Ghost on a Wednesday.

Rack of lamb, dauphinoise and some seasonal veg.

Crispy duck pancakes

Today it's a stinking Indian takeaway with rice, chips, nann, popadoms and wherever else- but I'm STARVING at the mo!

Fish & Chips

(Home made)

and

Pizza (Home made)

and

Lasagne (Home Made)

and

and

and .... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

On the pud front, I reckon rhubarb trumps apple (when home-made best with a bit of cinnamon in the fruit and desiccated coconut in the crumble)

^^ or gooseberry crumble too (but apple's the one I make the most)

^^ fish+chips is the dinner I miss the most (no chippies in this country)

Too many to choose from but certainly not one from a food chain, not that I don't use them but it's far from my favourite food.

There's a chinese near us that does salmon in teriyaki sauce, when they're on form it's devine.

really struggle to choose mine, maybe a frankie and benny's pizza

hard to decide, this wins tho.

Lemonysam -

Venison pie.

something Ethiopian, cooked by my girlfriends nan.

I don't know what they're called as we can't communicate other than rudimentary greetings 😀

Warm chiabata, cherry toms roasted in the oven, 6 good quality sausages, homemade caramalised onions, brown sauce. Done.

Matt, I reckon I can see casing just to the outside of the lid.

Benefit of the doubt? 🙂

*narrows eyes*That looks suspiciously like a stew with a pastry lid on. #notapie

You need your eyes tested. You can clearly see two layers of pastry.

#ofalltheimpertinentaccusations

OK, as you were. It appears you both understood my valid concern though.

Edit - now I've been put right, that does look bloody lovely.

A big juicy beefburger from The Orange Tree in Kirkby Lonsdale.

bacon, sausage and egg sandwich.

It's good there are people like you out there.

Sed quis custodiet pistorum?
Indeed.

Really depends on my mood, no real outright favourite. Never say no to a good thai curry though.

Faggots and peas. Where do I collect my £5

Not convinced that's a real pie to be honest, might be another one of those gastro-pub pretend things. Best thing to do is to serve me up a portion and pop it in the post and I'll pass judgement. Paypal gift ok?

Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding takes some beating. Or roast chicken and stuffing. Or a good quality Chinese takeaway. They're defo top 3. Can be in any order to be honest.

bacon, [s]sausage and[/s] egg and beans sandwich.

Steak and kidney pudding made with proper suet pastry and steamed for hours.
My dad makes the best one, but only about once a year

Really do like beer battered halloumi with chips and mushy peas. Local pub does it a treat.
Bit of a curve ball, but made a banana curry a couple of times. Sounds gopping, but is really nice. Lastnights was a corker.

Stovies - hands down.

Anything cooked by me.

Damn you Rusty Spanner. I was going to grab a butty but ended up with Rice 'n' Three.

A nice rib-eye steak (medium/rare), jacket spud and a good coleslaw. Simply but delicious.

Must go back to the Hawksmoor this year and get a Porterhouse for the wife and me to devour. Stilton Hollandaise sauce too just for added liquid cholesterol.

I think one of the best meals I ever had was in a random French restaurant in Chatel. Had no idea what I was ordering (rather complicated French language menu, natch) which turned out to be a massive fillet steak cooked to perfection with a creamy mushroom sauce. My word it was good.

Hmmm... If we're doing the best meal we've ever had as opposed to the dish...

We were on a climbing trip, staying in a (well known tourist) town in spain we were looking for a place to eat (of which there were dozens of varying s****iness) when were walked past a house with a little menu outside which was basically a list of fishes with [i]reserva de mercado[/i] in the price column. We knocked on the door and a little hatch opened a crack with an eye pressed against it.

After being appraised for a few seconds and asked some cursory questions we were ushered into a room with four tables and asked what we would like to eat and asked what she had available - she reeled off a massive list of ingredients so we just asked her to cook what she fancied. For the next couple of hours she just bought out dish after dish of bits and pieces - utterly simple but completely delicious food - whilst regaling us with stories and plying us with drinks. Over the course of the evening various people knocked at the door, two other groups were ushered in but the vast majority were turned away by whatever criteria it was that we'd been found acceptable.

At the end of the meal she came over and sat with us drinking digestifs and laughing and telling us that she knew that we looked like "good eaters" and knocked a chunk off the bill (which was very reasonable to start with).

It was ace.

If I had to choose a last meal, steak egg and chips, apple pie and custard.

Bacon, Sausage, egg, beans, tomato (tinned), mushroom, black pudding, some kind of potato but not chips, fried bread and probably some toast!!

Curry or a good steak and chips comes a close second though.

The French certainly have a way with simple dishes. Like stopping off at a bar in the middle of nowhere for lunching and getting a perfect omelette and green salad. Or the quick bite before getting on the ski bus home - a perfect rissole with chips and a pepper sauce in a copper pan plonked down on the table.

I also loved a hotel in Vicosoprano (OK not in France) where I ate and drank frequently during a 3 week climbing trip. Superb peasant type stuff - lamb steaks with rosemary, pomme dauph, that sort of thing.

Always like to think that I've not had my favourite meal yet, keeps me enthusiastic about trying new and different stuff.

But generally the one I look forward to most is whatever Mrs nobeer rattles up on a Tuesday, after I've commuted then did a monster spin class. Devour doesn't do it justice.

Profiteroles for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
End of thread.

Ham Egg and Chips.

It can't be beat.

Crumble for pudding.

With custard.

^^^ Ham, Egg and Chips as well.

& Chocolate Bread & Butter Pud.

Full roast with all the trimmings with apple crumble for afters.

It's between:
- salami & chilli fresh pizza done in a wood-burning stone oven
- half portion of lamb madras mixed with half portion of lamb phaal + pea pilau + garlic naan
plus red wine and pale ale.
My tastebuds are going mental now 😛

Not convinced that's a real pie to be honest, might be another one of those gastro-pub pretend things.

It's definitely a gastro pub but unusually it succeeds at both.

Fish n chips by the sea

Pudding, chips, peas and gravy from the chippy with half a loaf of HEAVILY buttered Warburtons toasty bread.

It's what I live off when I visit Manchester.

Blue fillet steak (practically still mooing, sorry cows)
Some kind of fried potatoes (chips or sautéed)
Green fine beans with some sea salt

Probably... Or maybe a nice curry or the Volcano burger at the Rockstone in Southampton, or some tasty mussels (cream and pernod), or sushi or pie, yes pie could win if it wasn't mrs g-d's roast dinners but then again I do like chilli or fish and chips or even a posh salad...

Just realised why I may be a bit heavier than some

I think a proper Sunday roast with all the trimmings takes some beating. Lamb, beef, chicken, pork. In that order of preference. Apple or rhubarb crumble and custard for pud.

Cottage pie and green beans. Faggots, chips, mushy peas and gravy. As said above, fish and chips by the sea somehow tastes so much better.

Tuna steak marinaded in lime juice for 20mins then seared. Served with baby news with butter. And a salad.

Dried meat....but only if it costs 8 quid for 100g!!!

Chilli con carne or rice & peas with haddock.

I asked this of one of our offshore (Indian) colleagues today, randomly. It threw up some Indian favourites which I'd never turn down. PROPER chicken tandoori, palaak gosht, and they're the top two. favourite meal is too subjective - they're on my desert island list.

Dependswho is cooking it and what is she wearing ? also how hungry am i ? I once cooked a curry for 3 hours and then had the best sex of my life ? i cooked it but she did the rest ? would it be that ? or a $500 meal from the worlds best 50 ?

For 8 years i ate in 2 of the worlds best 50 restaurants a year and loved the diversity and craft but sometimes sausage sandwich at the right time hit it ??

Dingabell wins the internet, why would anyone want anything but Profiteroles

About 15 years ago, my mum accidentally made the most amazing spicy chicken casserole... She's spent the last 15 years trying to recreate it, it'll never happen I think, most of the attempts have been pretty damn good to be honest but they're not The One. MMMMMM forgotten casserole

Exactly.
Little fluffy balls of creamy, chocolate goodness.
And you can eat about a hundred without getting full up.

A really high quality fry up wins for me, especially when I'm proper hungry. Big mug of tea too.

I did google to look for a really good looking one but struggled. So many people make bad fried eggs and bad bacon. Or slop watery beans and skinned tomatoes onto the plate. Simple mistakes that are so easy to fix.

Beans on toast

Favourite meal (like film, album, etc.) is one of those 'don't make me name just one' questions. Right now I'd be happy with one from...

Hard-fried chicken wings with garlic, chilli, olive oil and sherry vinegar. Served with a big hunk of warm bread.

Mussels (no cream), skinny fries and bread.

Goulash.

Poached, pressed and roasted belly pork, rumbledethumps, gravy.

The Boston Beaked Beans with chorizo, cornbread and poached eggs I had at Merienda in Keswick a couple of weeks ago.
