Here are the questions and my answers!
1. What's a food you liked when you were younger but don't anymore? I used to enjoy those horrible sweets that all young kids like – penny chews, love hearts, flying saucers, refreshers. I can’t stand that sort of insubstantial, sugary, sherberty crap now.
2. What's a food you used to not like but now you do? I grew up in a family with a very narrow, bland palate, and so everything I ate was safe, familiar ‘meat and two veg’ types of meals. So I’m going to say curry. I hated the sight and smell of curry when I was a child and wouldn’t go near it because my parents wouldn’t. I enjoy a nice curry now, something mild but flavoursome. The thought of a curry even crossing the threshold of my childhood home is laughable!
3. What's a food you enjoy eating both warm and cold? Cheese, I enjoy it in sandwiches straight out of the fridge, or melted on toast, in omelettes, in a sauce – anything really!
4. Are there any foods you can't get anymore? Why not? My Grandad used to make wonderful chips (not as in the US term for crisps, but UK chunky chips). They were hand cut from potatoes and deep fried in beef dripping until they were really crispy on the outside. They were probably really unhealthy, but hellfire, they were delicious. My Grandad passed away in 2009 and did a lot less cooking in the last ten years of his life, so I probably hadn’t had those chips for over twenty five years, maybe nearer thirty, but I can still remember how divine they were.
5. What's your favorite "breakfast for dinner" (or "dinner for breakfast") food? You can’t beat a nice full English breakfast any time of the day. Sausage, bacon, fried egg, mushrooms, baked beans, hash browns and toast (or fried bread if you’re feeling particularly indulgent!)
