    Then there's the cheese footballs that tasted like vomit - nice.

    Just seen an amazing present for somebody in March's GW Mag which has just arrived - a Georgian style 3 storey bird box at only £295!  Has the world gone mad?

    Samphire, yum
    Haggis, double yum, as long as served with plenty of whisky.

    I assume you drink a lot of whiskey first @punkdoc

    This was a list of disappointing foodstuffs. Disgusting foods  tasted/ not tasted is a whole nuther list.

    Whisky, but never Whiskey, is essential to its proper enjoyment.

    We like samphire @B3, lovely with fish.

    I've had to google to find out wat Edinburgh rock and Lorne sausage are and I think I can happily spend the rest of my life never tasting them.  Never liked root beer or Irn Bru.  Can live without haggis too.  Have to agree about purple spuds, fake meatand nearly all cocktails.

    The only cheesecake I like is my own recipe for a cold set lemon cheesecake on a ginger biscuit crumb.

    Why not stick to soda bread?  Much easier than yeast based jobbies tho they are lovely when they turn out right.  Expect I need more practice to make them foolproof.

    Don't do whisky or whiskey.

  • Samphire with fish here too.  
    The old phrase one man's meat, is another's poison springs to mind.

    @Obelixx. I love soda bread but I've given up trying to make it properly.  Mine is always a disappointment.
    I make all my own yeasted bread, but I find it helps if you don't forget to put it in the oven.

    I have a birthday coming up soon and have told the missus umpteen times that there is nothing I want or need.  A few days ago she came out with the dreaded words "I've found something for your birthday - you'll love it!"

    The reality is that it is far more likely to be something I could happily live without, and will end up in the back of a cupboard unloved and unused.
