Food, glorious food
1. Are you a vegetarian? Vegan?
No. I will not, however, eat hare or cetacean for reasons of personal politics.
2. What’s your favorite food?
It’s a tough choice between chicken and sushi.
3. White bread or wholemeal?
I don’t eat much bread at all.
4. What’s for breakfast?
Weekdays it’s a protein shake made of whey isolate and leucine powder flavoured with Green & Blacks drinking chocolate powder. At the weekend it’s either eggs, fruit salad or porridge.
5. You’re making a Dagwood sandwich. What’s in it?
I don’t eat sandwiches as a general inclination. I certainly wouldn’t eat one of those.
6. What’s on your pizza?
Fresh tomato sauce, mozzarella, anchovies, black olives, goats cheese and red onion. Basil if it’s in season.
7. Coffee, tea, milk, or soda soft drink?
Yes. Except milk. And don’t even threaten me with Dr Pepper. It will go badly for you.
8. Dark, milk, or white chocolate?
Not a huge chocolate eater. I will eat small quantities of either Maya Gold or really good quality milk chocolate. I can destroy an entire packet of the G&B;’s mint chocolate.
9. Teetotal, beer, wine, or hard liquor?
Wine usually. Beer after racing. Gin and tonic (Bombay Sapphire, thank you please) for special summery occasions.
10. Does coriander leaf taste like citrus, or like soap?
It tastes like bad parsley. Neither citrus nor soap. I could spend a while describing the various flavour components, but suffice to say that it works as an ingredient in some things while I don’t particularly like it by itself.
11. Is chorizo the greatest thing ever or is it totally disgusting?
I quite like a bit of chorizo, but I am not liking these false bipolar choices. Something can be neither the greatest thing ever nor the worst.
12. Do you use garlic like a vegetable or like a spice?
Both. Depends on the dish.
13. Onions: raw, cooked, or not at all?
Again, it depends on the dish.
14. Does broccoli taste sweet or bitter?
Neither. It tastes like broccoli (I’m starting to think that whoever wrote this quiz should get his taste buds checked out).
15. How do you feel about fish?
I like all marine fish, not so keen on freshwater fish.
16. How about sushi?
Mmmmm. Sushi. Very naughty, owing to mixing fish with rice (bad dog!) and yet I seem to get away with it. Sushi is my friend.
17. Fave ethnic cuisine?
I couldn’t say.
18. What’s your favorite fruit?
I really don’t know. Raspberries, maybe, although I eat a lot of bananas.
19. Cheese – thumbs up or thumbs down?
I like cheese. Not all cheese.
20. Finally, favorite dessert?
I don’t eat a lot of dessert, it has to be said. I like creme caramel and a really good cheesecake is a joy forever. Mostly when I make desserts they’re for Frood. He’s the pudding monster.
