1 - My Dads Curry. Damn thats good, I'll even drop social engagements for it, mine are never as good...
2 - Beer. What can I say, a nice cold beer at the end of the working day and all that.
3 - Pizza. I make a killer pizza, get the base and build the rest, non of this frozen pizza lark...
4 - Coffee. I am a coffee snob. Percolate it, brew it, buy the stuff from a shop, but its gotta be fresh, no freeze dried instant muck unless time is a factor...
5 - Sunday Dinner. With the family, it doesn't matter if its Chicken, Pork or Beef. The Sunday Roast, with all the Trimmings; Roast Potatos, Carrots, Parsnips, etc...
I could go on and on into snack foods and other drinks, but we are limited to 5 here...
(Excellent Smithers, expand to a top ten...)
6 - Cajun food. I discovered and Old Orleans franchise restaurant, and last Saturday made a much promised Jumbalaya (I had been promising myself since moving to my own place...) It was great and I'll do that again...
7 - I have so far never gone wrong with a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Now all they gotta do is open one in this god-forsaken town instead of making me travel...
8 - A Rack of Ribs, juicy, and dripping in suculent bar-b-q sauce.
9 - A good old fashioned Steak, medium rare, served on a sizzling platter with Chips (not Fries...) and Onion Rings... mmmmmmm...
10 - And its gotta finish with a tall glass of ice cold Coca Cola with the condensation dripping off the glass.
It appears I never really got onto that promised snack food... Best of 15?
