You can actually have all that on the same plate at Cosmo Croydon

It's a magical place, went end of last year. Think I had oysters, roast, some black bean, plate of sushi, breaded prawns, bit more roast, and some noodles. Fucking painfully full and a slow waddle back to SE London after.

Where's chaako?? I recognise most of the other words used, just intrigued what makes them great?

Not in a challenge way, in a tell me more way

International Buffets can go in a dustbin.

Full English Breakfast
Roast Dinner
Spaghetti alle vongole
Pizza with mozz, basil and anchovies
Proper boozy Tiramasu

Franco Manca #5 also troubling my list:

Organic tomato, garlic,
oregano, capers,
Kalamata black olives,
Cantabrian anchovies
& British mozzarella


...this is tough.

Early morning: Full English breakfast (but halal-ified, so replace pork with chicken, beef or turkey or some such) with freshly squeezed orange juice followed by freshly brewed coffee and a selection of pastries 

Mid-morning: protein shake made with frozen yoghurt, vanilla ice-cream, banana, whey protein and peanut butter

Lunchtime: big fat lasagne with full-fat Coke

Teatime: fresh coffee with scones

Dinner: full Lebanese meal of kofte shish with vermicelli rice and related dips and salad, with baklava for afters with mint tea

I do think a good kofte would make my five, such a great thing when done right

Oh man, this is tricky and the moment I think of five, another five probably want to muscle in.

Toad in the hole, proper homemade Yorkie pud and onion gravy.
Steak and chips.
Roast lamb dinner.
Doughnuts.
Proper non boozy tiramisu like whatta I learna to make in Parma.

There's loads more but that's a quick, easy five.

If I served elf's kofte on Boris' keema would that count as one dish???

Roast lamb dinner

Thank you

So many have said "roast dinner", at least yo umade a choice about which (and the correct one in my head)

that said please let your yorkie pud make it onto this plate

My mum's mince pies.
The stuff of legends. These are perfect mouth sized things of beauty. Heaped in nostalgia. I will get through dozens of these things each christmas.

Bodeans with ma boys.
Mixed sharing platters all round, slightly too much to comfortably eat but eat away. Pretend its someone's birthday so my mate P can charm some shots out of the waitress.

A round of pints.
Decent quality but not craft lager. Moretti, Hop House 13, Camden Hells etc. Must be a round because that implies company.

Kids lunch
Tuna sandwich made with white bread and cut into little triangles. Side of Skips and a Penguin. Washed down with orange squash. Crisp and chocolate biscuit choices are changeable.

Tom Yum soup and summer rolls.
From the cafe attached to the asian supermarket I used to go to at lunch.

I don't like roast turkey as much as beef (horseradish!) or lamb (mint sauce!) or pork (apple sauce!) but I do have a special love for Xmas dinner (cranberry!).

there are two religious foods I could eat all year, and neither of them are "the body of christ", mince pies and hot cross bins are both godlike, cracking choice, also I might have to show up around late november when the first bunch are coming out. London tsock sorted

You should taste mine.  Beyond legit.  Send me a reminder in November and i’ll post you some.  I put fresh orange juice and rind in the pastry.

Changing mine to a roast dinner medley
