Back my popular demand ( well Paul the Postman seemed to like my last post) I thought I'd have another go at the Friday Five, however, because I'm a day late it has become the Saturday Six:
1. What drinking water do you prefer -- tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?
What can I say I'm a cheapskate, I like my water straight from the tap; but then the water here in Sheffield does actually taste pretty good.
2. What are your favorite flavor of chips?
Being the semi-vegetarian that I am, my favourite flavour of crips (sic) is "Smokey Bacon". But that is near the secure knowledge that the crisps have not been anywhere remotely near a pig.
3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?
One thing I do love is Double Chocolate Cheesecake. It's easy to make (although my lovely hubsand did wonder why I'd go to all that trouble, that was until he tasted it) and it tastes bloody wonderful, even if I do say so myself.
Mind you usually the best food of all is what somebody else has made, just because you haven't had the trouble of making it. My darling Pat making breakfast for me is just the best thing ever.
4. How do you have your eggs?
Eggs are just great, how are you meant to pick only one styling. I do like them scrambled, poached, even boiled; I can make a mean omlette but I really don't like them. But the best way to eat an egg is in a fried egg sandwich with mushrooms and HP sauce. I'm starting to drool just thinking about it. (And I'm making my husband sick in the process - he does not like the fried egg.)
5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?
The last time I had a meal cooked for me, rather than cooking it myself was two weeks ago. My Mum cooked us Sunday lunch when we'd just got back from being spoiled by Pat's Mum in Scarborough. We had roast chicken, with potatoes, stuffing and two veg, followed by Cadbury's Chocolate Trifle and it was great. And just to top off the afternoon we then all went to see "X2", now that's a way to spend a Sunday.
6. What unusual food stuffs are found only in your city?Henderson's Relish - it's a bit like Worcestershire Sauce, but not. Apparently it's a must on Meat and Potato Pie, not that I would know, but my Mum adds it to her Spaghetti Bolognese, which is why its so much better than mine.
