A peshwari naan is a thing of joy. I usually just go for chapati nowadays though.

I've been dabbling with a stuffed paratha recently.

This, as long as it's warm and fresh. I like the rice plain these days as well.

Very dependent upon mood, but I'm hungry right now so...

Starter - Steak tartare with a quail's egg. As per Brooks, the steak needs to be from the finest cows science can muster.

Main - Slow roasted honey glazed duckling. With some roast potatoes on the side. (Must be extremely fluffy on the inside, but beautifully crisp on the outside. Perfect roast potatoes are amazing, imperfect roast potatoes are stodge.)

Dessert - An assiette of desserts, to include some kind of chocolate fondant type thing, a variant of sticky toffee pudding, and whatever it is the chef saves for when he wants to impress people.

On that last point - the best meals I've ever had have invariably been when I've not known what's coming, but the chef has wanted to show off.

Conversely I'm often more than happy with a greasy curry and a load of naan.

This is really hard, the three things that jump to mind instantly are: really good burger, really good ramen, really good spaghetti carbonara

SpaceGazelle

Mine is so mood dependent it could be various things on the day.

Death row meals.

SpaceGazelle

But there would be a fish course.

SpaceGazelle

And soup before the starter.

Lord_Griff

And a fucking pot noodle.

And a wafer thin mint sir?

I honestly can’t contribute to this thread, I’m really rubbish when it comes to picking food I want to eat. My wife has a go at me every week because I never suggest anything for the meal plan, I really can’t get excited about food unless I’m really hungry and there’s a menu to choose from.
Even then I couldn’t tell if what I was eating was anything special other than “yea, that tastes nice”

DS, whats your main and dessert?

Cant understand the cheesecake freaks. Ffs.

Moot_Geeza

B&M do a fucking amazing chicken gravy. And a Chinese curry. £1 each, full taste.

I'm trying really hard to think of a meal, but weirdly now that I'm a beta cuck soi boi all of the nostalgia childhood favourites I would once have probably picked no longer have that appeal, in fact weirdly this whole thread has made me realise that I look back on a lot of my food memories differently, not in a "URGH MEAT IS MURDER GROSS" holier than thou bullshit filter, since I'm not really about that. It's just weird, previously I would have probably made some of the dishes I would have thought about for dinner over the past few days and now in contrast none of the food that I eat has that fondness factor since it's all stuff I've only recently started eating.

It's a really weird feeling.

There is the Mayflower range in B&M which is tasty and weight loss friendly. We now make Chinese curry instead of takeaway.

Moot_Geeza

That's probably the one. 4.5 syns per portion for the curry. Tastes like at least a day's worth.

Yeah - the powder has a minimal of oil content apparently.

Starter :creamy sea food chowder, some wheaten bread artfully prepared on the side. Main : leg of lamb (pink), mashed and roast potatoes, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, mint sauce on side, gravy/jus - whatever must be so dark that light cannot bounce off it. Dessert : industrial strength chocolate cake with blob of cream on the side. A hearty red with the Main A ball busting black fresh ground coffee with the dessert.

I'll have this too, thanks, although I'll take a cheese board for after.

davyK

Cheese board is a close second - would make for a 4th course with port.

SpaceGazelle

Cheeseboard essential, and by that I mean an overwhelming amount of Parmesan. A whole wheel should suffice

Had a revelation recently while down in France.

The cheese course comes between your main and dessert.

The purpose of the cheese course is to accompany any remaining red wine – so that you can start afresh and order a dessert wine with your dessert.

This holds up because you’re in France so of course you had red wine with your meat course.

This blew my wife’s mind. She’s never going back to the British way of ordering cheese after dessert.

Diluted Dante

Does this work with dessert whisky?

We don't celebrate our cheese enough in the UK. I've eaten a lot of cheese in France and would argue ours is now better, but we just don't appreciate it enough unless it's Christmas. Probably a result of our current fondness for Yankee food, but still. The french have a gastronomic confidence that we lack I suppose.
