What would you REALLY like to eat? Light-hearted

Interestingly of the women that I know of my age, those who are relatively thin, careful with what they eat and exercise regularly have all had severe illness and one or two have sadly died recently.

Foie gras? Never.

When discussing foie gras with a French friend she asked "do you eat duck?"

Most foie gras is duck liver. That from geese is very expensive.

I don’t touch it because I am well aware of the cruelty involved, duck or goose.

I would love 2 eggs chopped up with butter in a mug with thick white bread all served by my Nan . Of course all a nice dream .

I've never touched it either.

My mum always told me it was cruel when I was little, and I watched a video of the process of force feeding them a couple a months ago.

Cake.

Victoria sponge with jam, lemon drizzle, coffee cake with walnuts, chocolate cake.

Just any cake, really.

pascal30 - I don't think that I could eat that much in a day either .
I know some people who could though !
These days my appetite fluctuates a great deal .
I'll suddenly really fancy something then , go off it .
I'm trying to prepare a mixture of foods .

My point was - do you eat duck?. If you do, you are eating the bird from which the majority of foie gras comes.

A typical breakfast for me is: peanut butter on toast with sliced banana coins and a yogurt - OR - a frittata made with fried diced potato and onions, handful of chopped broccoli, sometimes ham, with scrambled egg mixture pored over till set (I flip once)

A typical dinner for me is: a chicken or pork with veggies stir fry over brown rice - OR - shepherds pie - OR - roast chicken, potatoes and veggie sheet pan dinner - OR - a big dinner salad that has protein in it.

I only eat twice a day but my evening snacks: apples/fruit, pie or cookies, popcorn, cheese and cracker, hummus and carrots, nuts. (Only one, not all at once…)

I’d love to eat more ice cream, pastries, pies, hamburgers and French fries, shrimp, pizza!

I eat to live these days, as cooking for one is most uninteresting.
But my last meal would consist of a starter of smoked marlin with tomato and avocado. Then a rare steak with matchstick fries and a salad of all sorts of vegetables dressed with a garlicky dressing/mayo, excluding sweet peppers and cucumber, finally something chocolatey for dessert.

Yes, I do eat (local, free range) duck Dinahmo. That is not relevant to the vile, cruel process used to produce foie gras. I was very disappointed when the proposed ban on its importation into the UK wasn’t passed into law. I remember the likes of JRM wanting to continue indulging in it.

right now my answer to that would be anything, cheese toastie, roll and bacon, full Scottish, roll and square with fried onions, mince and cheesy tatties, takeaway, anything with texture.
Due to an ongoing swallowing problems for the last 13 months I have only had pureed food, and the last 3 weeks liquids only.
But hey ho such is life, at least on liquids Im not in pain

A cheese and crisp sandwich - on white bread & ready salted crisps 🤤

I have busy this morning and now need to go out so have not had my usual fruit and fibre cereal with banana and strawberry on top. I do get bored with it though and was just thinking I could just eat a double cheeseburger and small fries washed down with bottle of water oh and some B.B. sauce to dip the fries in. I can just see them calling out my order in McDonalds.

Bacon sandwiches, bacon and cheese sandwiches, bacon and mushroom sandwiches, bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches, etc. etc.

Breakfast: crispy bacon, fried egg, soft grilled tomato, Richmond sausage (I know full of rubbish but I love them!!), white toast with full fat butter. Tea.
Snack: Home made cheese scone, latte.
Lunch: Prawn mayonnaise sandwich, kettle crisps, tea. Little tiramisu.
Snack: custard tart, tea.
Dinner: fish and chips, mushy peas, little curry sauce, homemade apple crumble lashings of custard, tea.
Supper: American style pancakes, strawberries, blueberries and maple syrup, tea.

For breakfast I would go American and have American pancakes with really crisp streaky bacon and a fried egg, easy over, and lots of maple syrup; Fresh orange juice to drink.

Lunch would be Australian barramundi with chunky chips and peas, washed down with a bottle of Australian fizz - and the most important bit, eaten under the shadow of Sydney harbour bridge in Circular Quay.
PS I have done this!

Dinner would have to be a delicious Singaporean chicken curry, with rice and Bombay potatoes, with a bottle of Singaporean Tiger beer.

My dinner tonight would have been really crispy bacon, chips and mushrooms, with a couple of slices of crusty bread, and a pot of tea.
Possibly an egg to dip that bread into.

Germanshepherdsmum, I live in SW France which is duck and foie gras central where foie gras is produced humanely.

It's a myth in YUK as to how it's produced. For a start the race of duck is enormous so they have a very big liver to start with. They are fed the corn only for about 11 days so not long enough to do any damage. they can still walk with happily. The tube is quite often not used. When it is the ducks queue up for it! Done properly the ducks are not harmed. Note to self, check out your supplier.

I recently watched a video of the process.
I won't post it here, but it was bloody horrific!

Anyway, back to piggy eating she said, hypocritically

A nice BLT would go down a treat, today.

Indeed, MissA. It’s no myth. The ducks queue up for the tube? The things people who eat this stuff tell themselves. 🙄
