I’m lucky enough to have retired to SW France. And occasionally I think of foods I miss (Hienz baked beans! HP sauce, Walkers roast chicken crisps (weird as I have been Vege for 30 yrs). But the food that I would miss the most is a great big bucket of Fromage Blanc. Mange la gods.

Pinto beans, I couldn’t make refried beans without them and I love refried beans.

Cold hot cross buns and chocolate raisins, without this drug addiction I might have half a chance of dropping ~5+Kg and getting under the 75Kg I managed three years ago.

Pasta.

Eggs

Marmite on toast or Marmite & Cheese on toast

Actually IIRC Roast Chicken crisps are Vege? But Cheese & Onion are not?

Peanut Butter! or burgers…. or maybe pizza. Actually I think there’s a lot I couldn’t do without.

Give us this day our daily bread (homemade sourdough made with artisanal organic flour, obvs)

Probably pasta. Or tuna. Got a thing for tuna in many guises.

Cheese and pickle sandwiches.

Can I just have sandwiches?

Fresh Crusty bread with butter on…..

Milk chocolate. Ideally with nuts and or fruit in.

Cold hot cross buns is up there though.

Chilli

Black pudding. Got to eat it a couple of times a week to feel good.
I have cut down on meat for health reasons but the black pudding has to stay.

Back bacon, cost me a fortune when I lived in Canada

Bread.

Cheese, any kind.  I loooooove the cheese!

Lavishly buttered bread.

Bit wet out today eh, Bianchi-Boy. 😉

Bananas.

Barbeque Beef Super Noodles

Anchovies, specifically the super salty brown ones in olive oil.

And ideally served on a homemade pizza with tomato paste, a mix of mozzarella and cheddar, a peppery pepperoni sausage, thinly sliced pepperami, n’duja paste, mushrooms, peppers and the aforementioned anchovies cut into 1/4 lengths and evenly spread.

That should then be served with an ice cold beer, something crisp, possibly the rare occasion a pilsner works for me.

Cake.

Muesli. I can quite happily eat the stuff for breakfast lunch and dinner!

Houmous.

None of your new-school namby pamby roasted artisan sun blushed red onion shit. No, straight up Houmous. Neat.

Nectar of the gods.

Crisp & cheese, can’t beat a good crisp and cheese sarnie.

Potatoes

Peanut butter. Salted butter. Halloumi.

Peanut butter. Crisps

Rice, eggs, pork and chicken.

Boringly, it would have to be spuds or eggs…

Chipotle paste/sauce. Goes in most things I cook.

Beer. Seriously; nothing else comes close. I love whisky, wine and gin but would lose them all for beer. There is a beer for every occasion; cheap pub lager, craft ales, stouts, something new and weird in a foreign land…beer always wins.

Curry . //
Thia Indian Jamaican African Sri Lanka – aslong as its curry

Pizza. The perfect storm of all the foods I love.

Eggs and potatoes (particularly chips and crisps)

Vereneky, or what the Poles call pierogies.

No matter what the filling, they are so, so good.

My homemade spicy/chilli kimchi, I eat it with my scrambled eggs at breakfast and have it with my tea every night, I get through at least 500g a week and I even take a tub with me on the very rare/couple times I’ve ate out in the past few years.

Porridge

Potatoes. It is as simple as that. Whilst I adore beer so very much if it was a choice of losing spuds or beer I would keep the tatties every time.

Imagine a world without cheese?

What a living hell that would be

And crisps.

As John Lennon famously sang.. “Imagine there’s no Chipsticks, no Wotsits of French Fries….”

Potatoes for me too. Love them.
