Food heaven & hell

[Lucille]

Oh Su, that GUERNSEY butter one can only get from Waitrose is DIVINE

I do miss butter. Had to cut it out of the household after HUBBY's recent CHOLESTROL DRAMA

DUMP IT!

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

Oh god yes, what a load of FADDY ROT.

Surely PEOPLE DIE CHOKING TO DEATH ON THE LUMPS

DESERVEDLY if they’re going to indulge in such HORRID SWILL

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Really? It’s everywhere here. It’s a milk tea with tapioca balls

Oh we call that BUBBLE TEA here DARLING

 

[Lucille]

Who looked at a plate of chickpeas and thought ‘these need to be YASSIFIED’ may I ask?

 

[Alla]

I don't even know what bubble tea is but it looks so unappealing

 

[Marina Salty]

Why do they force you to taste that? "Hey kid, eat my shit to see if you like it or not "

It's the sort of things that are meant to be extreme delicacies for some.
Oh also sea urchins.

 

[GNL]

There's a bubble tea shop in Manchester that went viral on Tik Tok which had queues around the block for the longest time, but it's right next door to ANOTHER bubble tea shop that is always empty - which is tragic both for the shop owner and the losers queueing around the block for fucking BUBBLE TEA.

 

[RS]

What are these FAGGY CHICKPEAS?

I’m sure you could find them in any Turkish or Arabic store in London

 

[Alla]

Oh also sea urchins.

Don't compare that with eating testicles In the South of Spain there is a local celebration, can't even remember which one, I think it's the beginning of the Carnival in February, and they serve urchins and only urchins, which everyone eats in the streets with a cold beer.

 

[Lucille]

Ew they look like TESTICLES!

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

I’m sure you could find them in any Turkish or Arabic store in London

I don’t think I’ve EVER seen these despite multiple jaunts to ethnic emporia although I probably would have failed to see their allure if I had

 

[Lucille]

Every corner store in Hackney is Turkish and I’ve never seen them!

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

Ew they look like TESTICLES!

Or MINI BRAINS!

 

[Lucille]

“We need to make these things that look like balls MORE GAY so the Turks will eat them”

Thought it'd be the same in Spain that's why I brought it up.
I was forced to try this as a kid too and just I can't eat it. But for many it's a delicacy.

 

[OutSynk]

They look like XENOMORPH EGGS.

They would be find next to the nuts and seeds

Heaven: homemade pastries
Hell: Industrial ultraprocessed shit they sell like pastries

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

QUITE. Also I think AROMA - More Than Chocolate needs to be rethought. Maybe NOT FUCKING CHOCOLATE AT ALL would be more suitable

 

[Lucille]

I’m off to my local Turkish store right now for research!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I need @The Unholy Ghost heaven/hell take on kebab shop delicacies
These establishments tend to have surprisingly extensive menus

Yeah I think it's only in the South, I'm sure I had some as a kid but can't remember, not something I would order these days but I would try if I had to, I eat worse stuff

 

[Phoenix]

I’m sure you could find them in any Turkish or Arabic store in London

Where I’m from they come in 3 colors only. Pink, blue and white.

Oh I’m all about halloumi and falafel (or falafel and feta) wraps from my kebabberie de choix at the moment. I don’t trust those spinning things as I’m always convinced that there are worms in the middle

Fries on the side ALWAYS AND OBVIOUSLY

And STRAY ARM HAIR IN THE BAG

So just the TRANS PRIDE flag then?

 

[Lucille]

No chickpeas on offer at the local Turkish shop, though I was intrigued to find MAMA’S FUFU MIX

 

[Lucille]

Yes RS, I checked by the NUTS AND SEEDS.

 

[Apoca]

HEAVEN: Mushrooms
HELL: Tinned Mushrooms

There is very little I don't eat in terms of produce - but most tinned fruit and vegetable is vile (will make exceptions for tomatoes, certain beans and chickpeas) - no to confused with all sorts of PICKLES.

But tinned mushrooms are probably the worst.

Tinned mushrooms are the work of Satan. Why would anyone EVEN?

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

I never buy them now but I used to like TINNED PEARS

So SOFT

This makes me think of pizza, homemade or in a nice restaurant is HEAVEN, supermarket pizza (fresh or frozen) tastes like plastic, totally HELL

Literally little water-soaked sponges. HIDEOUS.

You mean pears in syrup? They are very popular here, pears and peaches in syrup. Not my cup of tea but I had far worse things.

Well thankfully we don't have that one here.

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

Well thankfully we don't have that one here.

Don’t you? I thought they were sold EUROPE-WIDE! I’m going to have to have a word with naughty DR O

 

[Lucille]

I used to love slurping a tinned peach down my throat WHOLE
