No! I don't like duck anyway, so the thought of either of those (especially raspberry) makes me feel sick. I do love raspberries though.

I also can't stand food in my drinks - ice but no slice for me.
Maybe I'm just a foodie Philistine though.

I bought some cranberry sauce at Christmas and made some chicken, brie and cranberry parcels. They were vile as the cranberry was SO sweet.
I remember when I had a cocktail in a pub with fresh mint. I've never seen so much mint before, it was ridiculous. Put me off the whole drink as there were loads of bits in it even after i've removed the 'bush'. I should have taken it home for other recipes.

Fruit + savoury = WRONG.

Glad to see there's so many people who think the same way

When my dad used to make curry at home he'd serve it with sliced cucumber, tomatoes and banana. Ick. Him and my stepmum seemed to enjoy it though!

Hmm, well that's a tricky one. I know it is a fruit, but I suppose looking at it from another angle, you wouldn't use tomatoes as a sauce for ice cream or a sweet dessert would you? (well maybe you would, who knows)
