A simple question, prompted by the fact that I've eaten fantastically since being with Mrs TBR, so much so that we don't go out any more! However, daughter No.1 has just returned home to the UK with her fiancé who was a Chef at The Savoy, The Shangri-La, Sydney and has cooked for The Royal Family. OMG! Food heaven is currently located in Burford! I'm already a fat git but I feel I'm going to need a new a Winter wardrobe.
The best camp food was when we had chef Shaun at TE one year . My mother used to cook at Australia House so I've grown up on good good and since living home to marry Mrs TW it continues I love fooooooooood.
I've got two answers both equally as good for different reasons The first was a full roast dinner. We were away with work and been on really rubbish food for about two months then we were given a TA chef, turns out he worked at the Dorchester in London as a permanent job. He turned mush into something amazing for the 30 of us in the ar*e end of the earth, can't remember his name for the life of me but he was from Portsmouth and 7 years later we still talk about that meal more than the Job. The second on a tour of the battle of Waterloo and we found a small local pub on the out skirts of the where the battle took place, starters was snails, main was blue filet steak and French fries and peas. Absolutely amazing and all for 5 euros. Cheap as chips me
The beef stew iv just eaten! Beef dripping and red wine as done in the James Martin slow cooking book.
Supper after a grueling day in the aforementioned Dorchester. Moules mariners at the RAC club one evening. Most home cooked meals I have eaten in Italy.
I had a proper fillet steak in a pub down in cornwall quite a number of years ago now!! It was like heavenly butter melting in your mouth!! None of this fillet steak rubbish that they sell in the supermarkets or at mainstream restaurants is any good!!
Best thing I've ever eaten was some kind of baked fish in a restuarant-cum-sh*t hole in Tashkent, in Uzbekistan. We ended up there by mistake. All they did was baked fish and Roti....nothing else...so we sat down and waited. This huge thing arrived on the table, which wouldn't have looked out of place in a Ridley Scott film. No knives and forks....Anyway, we scraped some of the flesh on to our plates and rolled it up in the Roti...absolutely unbelievable....never tasted anything as delicious in my life, and doubt I ever will. We were over there for a week and that's all we ate....
Obviously I don't behave like this now I'm all grown up, but the best meal I ever had was when I was a whipper-snapper. The entire household of 8 each took a tab of acid, piled into the squat transit van and drove to Tunbridge Wells. We then found the best small (empty) restaurant we could and had a slap-up meal. I have no idea what I ate but I do remember drinking red wine and brandy and laughing a lot. I spent 2 weeks dole money, so it must have been a feast. Sadly it was November and on the way back we ran out of petrol (nowhere open in them days) and had to sleep in the back under a sheet of hardboard and a large dog. .
Was wafer thin ham on the menu or outa date sausages ? I love kebabs ,sorry a meal kebab and chips...
