Whislt stuffing my big gob with chocolate mousse, and interspering with a sip or too of chenin blanc, I come to the conclusion chocolate and dry white do not actually go together very well at all.

One of my collegues has coronation chicken with cheese sandwiches, and whilst I have not indulged in this erm err delicacy I personnaly do not think that this would be a particularly nice combination.

What other foodstuffs have people tried that do not work, or even better ones that you would think do not but do?

I can't think of anything, except you are right - wine and chocolate don't go together.

It's strange though that alcohol and traditional breakfast type grub don't go together either.

For instance it is perfectly acceptable to drink wine with pizza but not a bacon butty and definitely not fried egg. Needless to say wine and shredded wheat shouldn't even appear in the same sentence never mind one's gob at the same time.

Nature's way of telling us not to start drinking first thing in the morning I think. Nod

You see now I am going to have to try special K with a glass of chardonnay, I know it is wrong, but I have to try it to find out for sure how wrong it is.

Ok here is the thing, why is it that no matter what time of day/night it is, it is always easy to drink alcohol when on a plane?

Why is it that you can sit there at 5:30 in the morning and have a mini bottle of wine with whatever comes in the little foil tray?

Maybe it is because the alcohol is necessay to avoid the taste of whatever it is that comes in the foil package.....

I have never been on a plane at breakfast time so don't know.

I'm not being very helpful here am I?

Are you going to replace the milk with the wine or mix it?


That's just reminded me that I used to attempt to make my own milk shakes when I got in from school. I only had orange squash to work with so it was a race against time to neck it before the onset of curdling. Sick

Also, and purely down to lack of ingredients I used to have sugar or vinegar butties. Sick

I don't think the sugar/ bread one should ever have happened.

Under normal circumstances a SWEET wine is rather sickly, but becomes not too bad when consumed with sweet foodstuffs. Nod Smiler


Aha, yes a dessert wine, does have it's time and place, although one can only ever have one glass, and well it must always be followed by cheese and biscuits with a healthy glass of tawny port.

I hadn't got that far into the planning stage yet...

Although it would make sense not to have milk and wine as well I have a feeling that would not work at all in the slightest ever.

I think I need a sober planning session to decide how the special K and the chardonnay would work together.


What Eeker

Never been on a plane for breakfastEeker you have obviously never had the delight of manchester international at 4 in the morning with only the bar open, and the cleaners cleaning away. It is an experience I would recommend wholeheartedly.

OK now I am feeling a bit yucky, coke and milk hust doesn;t sound good, although having had an ice cream floater with coke and vanilla ice cream it did kinda work...

as for sausages and marmalade ycuk yuck and more yuckiness, definately not something I will be trying, but that might possibly have something to do with my utter dislike of marmalade.

Hubby could probably give you a good discussion on that one. His plane got in to Manchester at midnight and the train wasn't due until 6:30. Eeker Laugh

On your own head be it, but don't expect any sympathy when you come in, tail between legs, complaining how horrible it was and how horrible you now feel. Razzer

You are weird, you lot Nod

Let me clearly state that chocolate and dry white wine is sheer heaven. I feel sorry for you if you have not discovered that.

Peanut butter is gross Sick In all honesty I have never, ever eaten as much as a teaspoonful, but why anyone would want to eat anything that resembles something that someone had chewed up and spat our completely eludes me.

Sugar sarnies? I'm guessing they are on a par with my old Gramp's condensed milk sarnies ... something that is divine at aged 10 ... but you grow out of it at 21 Blush (moving swiftly on ...

Nutella is orgasmic Crazy

I think that maybe red wine and chocolate might work, I might have to try that next time, I mean red wine is betterer than white.

I don't like nutella, and well in comparison to peanut butter it is hell hell hellRazzer


It is such a good job that this is not a dating website ... or else I would now have to do the cyber equivalent of climbing out of the loo window Laugh

What amazes me is how you ever discover this Laugh

Is this fresh or frozen peas? Cooked or raw? Brown or white bread?


Hi Rexi wavey

Freshly cooked Birds Eye garden peas/petit pois liberally tossed in lightly salted dutch butter and then drizzled with HP brown sauce to taste.

Best served between slices of medium sliced and freshly baked white bread. Nod
