I like chilled red wine.
I like Donner kebab even when sober.
I drink any wine with any meal.
I drink sherry like I drink wine.


There' my top secret 4 food/drink vices are out there.

I do the first 3.
I only use sherry for cooking and a dash in a bloody mary.

Not sure what no-no's I could mention. I bastardise a lot of dishes with my own twists. It could be called fusion I guess.

I also like chilled red wine and drink any wine with any meal.

I think a main one for me is keeping things in the fridge that are not supposed to be kept in the fridge....potatoes for example. (they last longer though lol)

My partner keeps chocolate in the fridge? I find that just..........wrong!

LOL I'd just find that bad for my teeth

Not eating properly
Drinking to much
Acting childish
Feel sorry for myself

I sometimes deep fry oven chips!

I use minute steak for my stews and casseroles, and trim all the fat off the sides and any veiny bits in the middle and give it to my dog! Every time I do it, I can hear my mother's voice in my head saying "What a waste of good meat!" but I hate stewing beef, it's too fatty!

I add salt to my food every time I eat anything savoury!

And I love ice in my brandy!

Salad Cream

I love chilled Red Wine!

I put ice in my lager in the summer!

Chilled red wine diluted with water.
Cold pasta covered in salad cream.
Way too much pepper on everything.
I'm also a sucker for a doner kebab!

Foie gras
Quarter pounders with cheese
Coco pops (although they don't taste like they used to)
Peanut butter straight from the jar with my finger as the utensil!

Salt. Loads and loads and loads of salt.
Venison. Normally i wouldn't eat an animal that looks so sweet an pretty.
Lamb. See above.

I chill some red wine, like a Fleurie.
I like pineapple on a pizza.
I dip spring rolls in honey
I like to dunk rich tea in orange juice.

Sometimes there is nothing quite like a doner kebab!
Any wine anytime
Mr Gooby and I have his brother living with us full time. Whenever he goes away for the weekend we treat ourselves to fillet steak, new potatoes, salad and peppercorn sauce - all from M&S. Our guilty secret!
Bacon butty in the morning before a round of golf - kinda defeats the object of the exercise but delicious.

It's nice to know some people have hidden vices (or maybe not so hidden).

I know (well I do) strive to follow certain ettiquette. But sometimes it's good just to do what makes you happy.

Like fish finger butties with load of tomatoe sauce can at the right time beat posh nosh on a silver platter.

Cake
Pies
Chocolate
Beer

You get chilled red wine all the time in Spain - the cheap stuff is so tannic it's the only way to drink it.

red wine and lemonade - the only way to drink the cheap and nasty stuff
having a few forkfulls of cold baked beans before they go in the microwave
fried egg sandwiches as an evening snack (with olive oil and loSalt of course)
sausage sarnies for breakfast (red sauce, brown sauce or no sauce at all - brown at home, yellow when out)

Try it with coke. It's a South American favourite.

Cold baked beans, yuck - I have to admit I do the same with tinned sweetcorn. I can literally eat a whole tin of the stuff if I am alone in the kitchen.

I remember a show where a guy used to eat cold beans out of the tin with salad cream mixed in.

Chips, cheese and garlic mayonaise. It was something I'd have when drunk but I tried it sober and it's still as good.

I cannot stand soft fried eggs, or the poached eggs concept. However, I am very partial to a soft boiled egg where the white has just turned. I add salt, stir the whole thing and drink it from the shell. Odd that there have been people around me not finding this acceptable.
2 Eggs in cold water, heat turned on and brought to boil, simmer, should take ten minutes and no more to achieve perfection. One piece of toast with marmalade eaten straight after, gives a wonderful complimentary taste.

Ginger biscuits in orange squash is very nice as well.
I really shouldn't drink the vinegar out of the jar when the beetroot is finished but I can't resist.

I'm having some now, on your recommendation.

It tastes like sangria. Nice!

Salad cream is the best.
