Masala Dosa Fresh ripe pineapple (preferably eaten where picked) Sweet and sour wallies (the bigger the better) Dahi Vada (with tamarind somewhere) Dried figs (and or dates)
crispy belly of pork cadbury's fruit and nut chocolate hot chips with salt and vinegar (preferably at the coast on a chilly day) ginger beer fresh mango
Having said that, lunch today will be a poxy slimfast drink and an apple - bastard diets!
Pitahaya (the yellow kind from Colombia, not the dragonfruit rubbish from Vietnam) Rainier cherries (now in season - fabulous) Sable Seedless grapes broad beans celery
nice one ghf! (...& all readily available in se london?)
A good question. The yellow pitahaya were briefly all the rage a few years ago, and Tesco were selling then at a pound each (that's basically for a few teaspoons of pulp) being highly nutritious. They have little shelf-life so they have to come by expensive airfreight, whereas the pink dragonfruit can take three weeks or so to get here by sea.
I spent 27 notes in M+S this afternoon, 16 of which went on fruit. 8 quid for 600g (50% extra) Washington Rainiers, gone in a very short time; £4/400g for beautiful mahogany-coloured Kentish cherries; £2/400g Kentish straws (half price) and £2/200g Kentish rassers (half-price). This is fruit of the ultimate quality, and a clear sign that the fresh produce trade is currently dead in the water (Tesco selling stonefruit punnets for 75p) - if world-class fruit like the Rainiers is being sold with 50% extra - at the beginning of the season - something is very wrong. Wait for the dark red Washington Bings soon.
Sable Seedless - the South African is best although Sainsbury also had some nice Brazilian, I think it was. Season finished in May/early June ?
Broad beans and celery - seasonal. No problem. All clear ? Get in there !!
We grow broad beans on our allotment, they are wonderful.

Exra Mature Canadian Cheddar Cheese Short Bread (it's like Crack Cocaine to me) Lamb Tikka Flame Grilled Chicken Breast Medium cooked steak (very few places get medium right)
Smoked salmon - I abhor the fetishisation of food, but a good smoked salmon is almost sexual. Chicken Madras - chilli-hot and sloppy with a sharp tang of lemon juice. With tarka dall and peas pillau rice. Galia melons - heavenly when they are fully ripe. A pound a pop from my local Turkish deli. Mild cheeses - Emmenthal, Gruyere, and Jarlsberg. Salt & vinegar crisps - to complement the delicious hoppy bitterness of copious Larkins Traditional Bitter.
Point of order Mr Speaker, but I thought combinations weren't allowed on this thread just single items. If combinations are allowed I would go for my home made Vegetarian Chilli.
