Or chorizo and scallops. The chorizo exudes a lovely peppery red sauce which spices up the scallops.

Sacrilege!
Scallops should be fried in a VERY hot pan in a tiny puddle of olive oil - ca. 1 minute a side - then stored on a plate in the oven, in an equally tiny puddle of butter, until everything else is ready. No spices or seasoning, unless you don't want to taste that sweet, delicate, SCALLOPY flavour...

"A really ripe but firm peach and a glass of strong red wine (preferably Italian)"

Yup, you provide the Italian peach and I'll provide the Barolo, but its my turn first, those ladies are very juicy. Got any phone numbers?

Found a lovely cafe on a "sight seeing" trip to Amsterdam ....called the the Cafe Luxembourg. Fabulous typical dutch place, full of cigar smoke, newspapers, folks idling their morning away. Anyway the food was limited. Breakfast was basic, but on the menu was one special item. Smoked Salmon and scrambled eggs, which had the title of "Sunday Breakfast"
Had it, and can only now think of that dish as Sunday Breakfast. Mmmmmmm......

Modest is not quite the word I would apply to the taste of one who would taint the likes of Glenmorange with ginger wine.

OUCH!

I was only boasting. Actually, as a mixer I use whiskey bought in Lidl for less than half the price of a single malt.

(I keep my Glenmorangie locked in the safe)

Or even Glenmorangie.

I get whatever the Coop has lopped a few pounds off, expecially if I have £3 off voucher too. Coincidentally, that was Glenmorangie last week. Not really one of my favourites (I haven't bought this since my days up in Eburdeen where it was the everyday stuff you put in your breakfast porage), though I tried last night to detect the various subtle tastes which they describe on the label. I prefer a softer, west coast flavour.

Alas I now have chosen to avoid spirits - depriving me of the combination of a single malt and oatcakes - the latter remaining a mild addiction.

I have always maintained that one can easily obtain one's required "five - a - day" (and more) with a decent post-prandial :

coffee - counts as a fruit
sugar in coffee - counts as a vegetable
cream in coffee - a vegetable, processed 'naturally' by a cow
brandy - counts as a fruit
chocolate - counts as a fruit
cigar - a vegetable.

No need to mention here other vegetable products such as cocaine, heroin, cannabis...

I'm about to offer my marketing skills to the "eat healthy" campaigns for deep-fried chocolate bars in North Britain...

Thanks FF. Even a wizard like me can make the odd spelling mistake.

BTW Is that the way you always spell porridge in Eburdeen?

yup, good thinking here Vinny !!
Chocolate Raisins have counted as one of my 5 a day for some time now.

Beer and cider must count as superfoods.

My homemade cross between bread AND butter and bread pudding certainly contains all five. Milk, eggs, fruit,mixed spice,butter. It often supplies me with a nourishing supper when tired.

And I won't hear a word against Stone's Ginger Wine. My many tablets state 'NO Alcohol'. Well the wine has the impression of being non alcoholic when diluted with a little water so it's ok to drink

vinteuil, Your five a day list is all quite correct. Do remember that the slice of lemon or wedge of lime in your g & t has to count also; I always do.

North Britain?
